Pernod Ricard Scholarship

For young leaders tackling the harmful impacts of excessive alcohol consumption and promoting safe, balanced and positive social occasions.

Social gatherings and moments of celebration are vital for promoting safe and responsible spaces where people can build and sustain healthy social interactions. Pernod Ricard is dedicated to elevating these occasions into authentic experiences of conviviality and sharing, ensuring they are enjoyed responsibly and inclusively, with or without alcohol.

However, parties and gatherings are not without risk. Moments of togetherness may fail to include those experiencing isolation, anti-social behaviour can be a threat to personal safety, and, when alcohol is involved, excessive consumption can cause harm to individuals and their communities. Worldwide, 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol. This represents 5.3% of all deaths (1). Recent statistics indicate that feelings of isolation are on the rise globally, with some reports suggesting that up 1 in 4 young adults experience social isolation (2).

To truly generate the social and health benefits of togetherness, we must work together to create more inclusive, safer and more balanced moments of social connection. On the frontline in the fight against isolation and the harmful use of alcohol, the industry and the hospitality sector plays a pivotal role in realising inclusive environments that promote balance and personal well-being.

Pernod Ricard’s flagship responsible drinking initiative, DRINK MORE WATER, aims to do just this - empower individuals to foster balance in their habits to enhance social moments. In a world that is becoming more polarized, the notion of balance and moderation can be questioned. Through strong programmes and innovative initiatives, Pernod Ricard continues its mission to promote balanced drinking in society; to encourage mindful drinking behaviours, to engage with the hospitality and bartending community and make them champions of moderation and to ensure that all social moments and interactions are inclusive - that everyone has a place at the table.

This ambition can only be achieved if we engage meaningfully with individuals through programmes and partnerships, equipping young adults with the tools and knowledge to foster a culture of balance, responsibility and sustainability. This is why we’re teaming up with One Young World, the global community for young leaders, to launch the One Young World | Pernod Ricard Scholarship.

The scholarship will identify and connect an interdisciplinary team of 10 committed young leaders who are working to build positive social spaces and tackle harmful drinking and its wider impacts in their countries and communities. Scholars will receive full funding to participate in the One Young World Summit 2026 which takes place in Cape Town, South Africa from 3 - 6 November.

Scholars will participate in the Summit as members of Pernod Ricard’s delegation, have opportunities to help shape our interventions at the event and receive expert mentorship to accelerate their initiatives. In addition, scholars will participate in post Summit collective thinking sessions to reflect on the future of socialising.

What's included in the scholarship?

• Participation in the One Young World Summit 2026 in Cape Town as a Pernod Ricard delegate.
• Hotel accommodation in Cape Town between 2 - 6 November (inclusive) 2026.
• The cost of travel to and from Cape Town (flights in economy)
• Catering which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• Transport between the Summit accommodation and the Summit venue.
• Access to Pernod Ricard professionals in their field on the basis of needs & consultancy.
• Collaborate with other scholars to influence Pernod Ricard’s thinking on socialising and efforts to reduce excessive alcohol consumption. Make your voice heard through the collective sessions with guest speakers.

Bureau of Behavioral Health FY27 Notice of Funding Opportunities

The Mississippi Department of Mental Health is now accepting applications for a series of competitive grants made available through funding appropriated to the agency.

Behavioral Health FY27 - Level 3 Low Intensity Residential Services Program (PPWMDC)

Residential Services is the highest community-based level of care for the treatment of substance use/addictive disorders. These levels of care provide a safe and stable group living environment where the individual can develop, practice, and demonstrate necessary recovery skills.

Collectively, all level 3 (3.1, 3.3, 3.5, and 3.7) program services provide residential care and comprehensive treatment services for adults and adolescents whose problems are so severe or are such that they cannot be cared for at home or in foster care and need the exclusive services provided by specialized facilities. Comprehensive services and activities may include diagnosis and psychological evaluation; alcohol and drug withdrawal management (detoxification) services; individual, family, and group therapy/ counseling; remedial education and GED preparation, vocational or pre-vocational training; training in activities of daily living; supervised recreational and social activities; case management; transportation; and referral to utilization of other services. 

Level 3.3 Clinically Managed Population-Specific High-Intensity Residential Services offers 24-hour support setting to meet the needs of people with cognitive difficulties, who need specialized individualized treatment services (who need a slower pace and could not otherwise make use of the more intensive Level 3.5 milieu). This level of care is not a step-down residential level. It is qualitatively different from other residential levels of care. The cognitive impairments manifested in individuals most appropriately treated in Level 3.3 services can be due to aging, traumatic brain injury, acute but lasting injury, or due to illness.

Level 3.5 (Adult) Clinically Managed High-Intensity Residential Services is designed to serve individuals who, because of specific functional limitations, need safe and stable living environments in order to develop and/or demonstrate sufficient recovery skills so they do not immediately relapse or continue to use in an imminently dangerous manner upon transfer to a less intensive level of care. This level of care offers organized treatment services that feature a planned and structured regimen of care in a 24-hour residential setting. Additionally, this level of care is based on the patient’s severity of illness, level of function, and progress in treatment.

State Training and Employment Program

The State Training and Employment Program (STEP) is administered by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD), Alaska Workforce Investment Board (AWIB) and funded by a set aside from the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. The purpose of STEP is to enhance the quality and accessibility of in-state training and employment services for Alaska residents to help meet the workforce needs of employers in the state. In addition, the program seeks to increase resident employment in industries where a high number of nonresidents are working, reduce future unemployment claims, and foster economic growth in all regions by meeting employer demand for a skilled workforce.

STEP provides several types of training opportunities, including industry-specific training; on-the-job training, apprentice training in a USDOL Registered Apprenticeship program; institutional or classroom job-linked training; and support services necessary to enable a participant to attend training and/or obtain or retain a job.

Benefits of the program

STEP targets participants who may be employed or employable, have worked in a job covered by unemployment insurance in any state, and who need training to improve their prospects for obtaining or retaining employment. The goal of STEP is to help self-motivate individuals with realistic goals to gain essential skills for employment success. The benefit to STEP participants as they move forward in their careers aided by STEP training is increased earning potential. Employers who invest in a skilled workforce gain a competitive edge in business and benefit from costs incurred in supporting unemployment insurance for those not working.
