Through the ACTION for Kids Project, Arkansas Division of Behavioral Health (DBH), working with other state and community agencies, youth and their families, will develop an integrated community-based, system of care (SOC) for children with severe emotional disorders (SED) and their families living in Craighead, Mississippi, Lee and Philips counties of eastern Arkansas. The target area for the ACTION for Kids Project is a region of contrast and diversity. This region contains an affluent metropolitan community juxtaposed to some of Arkansas's poorest Mississippi River Delta counties. It is home to approximately 4700 children with SED for whom services are often non-existent or located at great distances from their homes and provided through varied and disconnected systems. ACTION for Kids Project: will develop a comprehensive SOC for children/youth with SED and their families; and, ensure meaningful family involvement in all aspects of the SOC. The Division of Behavioral Health will provide the leadership at the state and community level. Project development will be managed through partnerships with two contracted mental health centers.

Arkansas was awarded a State Incentive Planning and Development Grant (SIPDG) in October, 2003 to enhance the capacity and collaboration of State agencies to provide a comprehensive, outcome -and research-based prevention system, comprising state-of-the-art monitoring and evaluation components to ensure sustainability and effective services. Building on lessons learned from its SIPDG, Arkansas successful won a five-year Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG in July 2005.
The purpose of the Arkansas SPF SIG is to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse through the lifespan; reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities; and build prevention capacity and infrastructure at the State and community levels. The major effort in building community capacity has resulted from State Incentive Grant funds supporting the training of local coalitions. Additionally, under the direction of Governor Mike Huckabee, and building upon the SIPDG Advisory Committee, Arkansas established an expanded Advisory Committee consisting of representatives from the Governor's Office and approximately 30 State agencies and other prevention stakeholders.
The Data Collection and Needs Assessment component of the Arkansas SPF SIG is designed to provide State agencies and local coalitions with the infrastructure and supporting data needed to conduct annual State and local community prevention needs assessments, creating a continuum of community resources, capacity, and readiness. The State is currently developing a SPF SIG State strategic prevention plan, using data for planning and making informed decisions to ensure that the State and communities develop an effective and sustainable prevention system.

The purpose of the Benton County Adult Treatment Drug Court (BCATDC) project is to increase accessibility to acute care services for drug treatment court clients most in need of intensive services thus providing a fully integrated continuum of care. This program will specifically target individuals least likely to succeed with traditional drug court outpatient substance abuse treatment approaches - those with the greatest personal vulnerabilities, problem severity, complexity and chronicity, and fewest natural supports. The program anticipates serving 96 clients in year one, 110 clients in year two, and 140 clients in year three for a total of 346 clients over the three year funding period. The goals of this project are to: 1) Enhance/expand access to a full continuum of care for drug treatment, mental health services, and peer support; 2) Improve long-term recovery outcomes for the target population through provision of evidence-based treatment approaches and increased availability of non-clinical recovery support services before, during and after treatment; and 3) Sustain the integrated system of care.
