Individual, family and community conditions in the South Mountain community, including economic and family instability, incarceration, involvement with Child Protective Services, patterns of antisocial behavior and criminality, and educational deficits, put children at extreme risk.
We propose implementation of five evidenced-based programs at the local level: Incredible Years, Parents as Teachers, Strengthening Multi-Ethnic Families and Communities, Parenting Wisely and Healthy Steps. These curricula were selected because of their developmental appropriateness, their demonstrated cultural competence, and their research recognition for successfully addressing the identified risk and protective factors.
With Project LAUNCH grant funds, Arizona will maximize partnerships recently established between state, city, and county agencies focused on youth development, positive family outcomes, and crime prevention. The families and children in the area will benefit from the additional application of resources that support early childhood development and by addressing the roots that lead to juvenile and adult criminal activity and incarceration.

The Tohono O'odham Nation, a federally recognized Tribe is submitting a proposal as a facilitating organization for an RCSP to be established in the Nation. The project will implement a comprehensive peer-to-peer system to support individuals in recovery with a full range of recovery support services provided locally in the 11 districts that make up the Tohono O'Odham Nation. The need for the program is dramatic, as the Nation has one of the highest rates of substance abuse among all populations in the U.S., and is just beginning a holistic approach to addressing the issue. After completing a needs assessment, gaps in programs and services to address the needs of individuals who are seeking or are in recovery were identified. This project is designed to address those needs. The project will engage at least 44 community members in recovery (4 individuals from each of the 11 districts of the Nation), to serve as peer mentors for recovery services identified by local communities. Each peer mentor will provide peer-to-peer support services for at least three individuals each year, for a total of 528 individuals over the four-year project. Each trained community member will also facilitate at least one recovery support service each year, so that services of choice will be available for all 83 villages of the Nation by the end of the project. The trained Peer Mentors and implementation or expansion of peer-to-peer recovery services will enable the Nation to re-establish culturally appropriate individual and community means to support those in recovery or seeking recovery, and offer support to their family members.

Project Period: 09/30/2009 - 09/29/2014
This project proposes to implement "Treatment Empowerment for Adolescents on the Move" (i-TEAM); a comprehensive systems approach for drug/alcohol and mental health treatment for homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth (LGBTQ) and their straight allies. Homeless youth, ages 15 to 23, from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds who meet American Society for Addiction Medicine criteria for outpatient substance abuse treatment will be enrolled in the project. i-TEAM project staff will conduct outreach at the EON's Youth Center Lounge, local streets and hangouts, and selected high-school gay-straight alliances to identify and enroll homeless LGBTQ youth and straight allies into the project. The i-TEAM project will implement two evidence-based programs; a substance abuse and mental health treatment program (MET/CBT5) and an HIV prevention and substance use reduction intervention (Street Smart), as well as voluntary HIV testing, comprehensive case management, and linkages to other community-based services for a total of 300 youth (60 per year). The i-TEAM project aims to (1) decrease substance use, (2) improve mental health status, (3) increase housing access and stability, (4) improve life skills (e.g. educational involvement, employment, psycho-social functioning), (5) increase linkages to other needed services (e.g. medical, educational, entitlements), and (6) reduce HIV risk behaviors.

As an approved accrediting body in the SAMHSA/CSAT opioid treatment program (OTP) accreditation process since 2001, CARF continues to demonstrate its commitment to improving the quality of services for OTP clients. CARF proposes to continue to 1) publish and maintain accreditation standards of quality; 2) recruit, train and retain a cadre of experienced surveyors; 3) conduct on-site accreditation surveys of OTPs to determine conformance to CARF standards and to provide consultation; and 4) provide technical assistance, and regional training on standards and the accreditation process. CARF has extensive experience in the accreditation of OTPs and other behavioral health programs. Specifically, CARF has the infrastructure needed for such accreditation, as well as a proven track record, as demonstrated in the accreditation of the OTPs involved in the previous grant cycles.
