Connecting Circles of Care will transform Butte County services for youth into a complete system of care through wraparound services for children with severe emotional disturbance (SED) and their families, in a family driven, strength based, culturally competent delivery of evidence-based practices. Connecting Circles of Care is an innovative partnership of a family run organization, Native American tribal organization, and county behavioral health department. The unique collaboration includes Rowell Family Empowerment of Northern California, Feather River Tribal Health (FRTH), Youth Services of Butte County Department of Behavioral Health (BCDBH), law enforcement agencies, and a broad array of public and private agencies. We propose a more encompassing system of care, with family driven community wraparound teams, based in Family Resource Centers in the diverse communities of Butte County. Our innovative program introduces a dramatic change in service delivery by involving parents from family run organizations in all aspects of service design and delivery. A ground breaking new service is a first response team for families in crisis, working in concert with law enforcement agencies. Community wraparound teams will assist families in obtaining services.

This project, called "Suicide Follow-up," will make follow-up calls to people who: 1) phone the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or a local crisis line that's answered by the Contra Costa Crisis Center; 2) are residents of Contra Costa County, California or callers to the NSPL Spanish-language line; and 3) are at medium to high risk of suicide. These follow-up calls will keep individuals safe and connected at a time when they have thoughts of self-injury.
The primary goal is to prevent suicide. Other goals are to provide counseling, emotional support, and community linkages so that people who are distressed receive the help they need to develop successful coping skills, deal effectively with their problems, and manage their lives.
If this project is successful, the main outcome will be that 100 percent of people at medium to high risk of suicide based on their initial call won't die by suicide within one month of receiving a follow-up call. In addition, 95 percent or more won't die by suicide within 12 months of receiving a follow-up call.

Monterey County Health Dept. Behavioral Health Division proposes to improve its system of care for children's mental health services by increasing the use of evidence-based practices, improving cultural competence, and integrating family members at all levels. Our system has already made strides in cultural competency (Latinos are 62% of county's children and youth; 60% of new children's services clients are Latino), implementing evidence-based practices (including wraparound), interdepartmental collaboration (a Children's Council unites key agencies), and involving parents as partners (through a Family Coordinator, focus groups, etc.). The proposed La Familia Sana/The Healthy Family SOC will build on these strengths and expand system capacity, improve service quality, and improve outcomes for children and youth. The Council and project team will develop a strategic plan and identify at least two new evidence-based practices, and then oversee their implementation. The new SOC will increase cultural competence (build new linkages, establish a diverse council, provide cultural competence training and technical assistance, hire new bilingual/bicultural staff, implement a social marketing program, and modify programs to address service disparities), increase involvement of families and sensitivity to families through various means, increase implementation of evidence-based practices (such as Parent Child Interaction Therapy and Aggression Replacement Therapy) to improve client outcomes, and establish an evaluation team.

The purpose of the proposed program is to establish and sustain evidence-based clinical treatment and trauma informed services for runaway and homeless youth in the Hollywood community and to transform the service delivery system so that the entire system of care is more educated about trauma and its impact, and more able to effectively respond to these needs. The major goals of the project are: 1. To continue meaningful collaborative planning regarding critical service needs of runaway and homeless youth in Hollywood; 2. To select, evaluate, and adopt an evidence-based trauma intervention in the runaway and homeless youth service delivery system; 3. To develop and implement coordinated training approaches to ensure fidelity to the model and effective interventions with runaway and homeless youth; 4. To develop and disseminate treatment and service products locally and nationally; 5. To sustain trauma services for runaway and homeless youth in Hollywood. The Division of Adolescent Medicine has been providing services to runaway and homeless youth in the Hollywood community for over two decades. A key aspect of our success has been the development and maintenance of partnerships with both public and private agencies serving youth. This funding would help support these collaborative efforts, enhance the community's capacity to address trauma in this population, and enable us to identify effective prevention and intervention programs based on the specific needs of youth in our community.

United American Indian Involvement, Inc. (UAII) will implement a Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Project targeting American Indian and Alaska Native children and youth (ages 10-24) in Los Angeles County. The goals of the program include:
(1) The UAII Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Program will evaluate the existing service delivery system available to American Indian children and families in Los Angeles County, to describe services, identify access barriers, and assess the cultural appropriateness of services.
(2) The program will collaborate with other agencies, providers and organizations to share information and resources by promoting awareness that suicide is preventable.
(3) Develop a culturally appropriate youth suicide prevention and early intervention program. This level of intervention will include screening programs, gatekeeper training for "frontline" adult caregivers and peer "natural helpers," support and skill building groups for at risk Indian youth, and enhanced accessible crisis services and referrals sources.
(4) UAII will implement the public health approach to suicide prevention as outlined in the Institute of Medicine report, Reducing Suicide: A National Imperative. This approach focuses on identifying broader patters of suicide and suicidal behavior, which will be useful in analyzing data collected and monitoring the effectiveness of services provided.

The "Integrated Service Approach" (ISA) project at the Substance Abuse Foundation of Long Beach (SAF) is a culturally- and linguistically- competent response to the mental health needs of the increasing number of economically disadvantaged African-Americans and Hispanics impacted by the HIV epidemic in Long Beach, California-a city that is highly impacted by poverty and HIV/AIDS and consistently has the highest per capita AIDS incidence rate in the metropolitan Los Angeles area and in the entire State of California. The challenge is great, and the needs are many. Africa-Americans and Hispanics account for half (50%) of all new AIDS cases in Long Beach. The ISA project will serve 164 adults, ages 18 to 65, with HIV/AIDS per year (114 African-Americans and 50 Hispanics), and a total of 820 clients over the 5-year period (570 African-Americans and 250 Hispanics).

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among college students. While attending college is a protective factor against suicide compared to non-school attending 18-24 year old category, transitioning to a college campus can be an overwhelming experience. California State University, Fullerton is the largest state university among the twenty three California State University campuses, with a rich and diverse student demographic. With 4% of CSUF students participating in the International Education Program, and most CSUF students working at least 10 hours per week, CSUF students are under tremendous amounts of stress. The Campus Suicide Prevention Project at CSUF will focus on establishing a Crisis Response Team and protocol to better assist the campus community to respond to a suicide or suicide attempt. Other goals of the project include enhanced faculty, staff and student training to better recognize signs of at risk students in order to refer for mental health treatment. The project will focus on reducing the stigma to receiving treatment for mental health conditions. This will be accomplished by conducting a social marketing campaign, targeting multicultural and ethnic populations, as these student groups are less likely to seek treatment for mental health conditions. This project will implement a tracking system to better quantify mental health issues of CSUF students so as to prioritize services and programming to address this public health concern.

California State University, Long Beach proposes the establishment of Project OCEAN (On Campus Emergency Assistance Network). The overall goal of Project OCEAN is to prevent suicide by promoting a campus climate that honors the lives of all students while encouraging and allowing them to seek support when it is needed. The project will initially target 'high-risk' students and provide them with increased education, screening, and support services. These students include: students with psychological disabilities, first generation, low income students and graduate students from the Schools of Natural Sciences and Engineering. Utilizing the framework suggested by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, the activities of Project OCEAN will strengthen and fill gaps in existing services to "expand the safety net" for students vulnerable to suicidal ideations. Mental health services are currently available to students through both Counseling and Psychological Services center and Student Health Services.

Health Initiatives for Youth (HIFY), a nationally respected developer of youth-centered health education, and personal empowerment programs with thirteen years experience in San Francisco, proposes to increase local understanding of HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and hepatitis prevention needs among minority youth populations ages 14-24, including re-entry youth, and improve systemic capacity among youth-serving organizations and peer educators to meet these needs. Our broad goals include:
o increasing local understanding of specific HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and hepatitis prevention needs among the most vulnerable minority youth populations including re-entry populations;
o responding to identified training needs of providers in youth-serving organizations and peer educators to achieve effective prevention programs;
o improving systemic capacity among youth-serving organizations and peer educators to implement and sustain culturally-competent, evidence-based prevention programs to reduce HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and hepatitis in the most vulnerable groups of the target population, including minority re-entry youth;
o improving systemic capacity among youth-serving organizations and peer educators to implement and sustain linkages to appropriate care for the most vulnerable groups of the target population, including minority re-entry youth in order to improve behavioral outcomes for these populations with regard to these risks; and
o ultimately reducing HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and hepatitis in the target population, while ensuring that members of the target population have the knowledge and capacity to get tested for HIV and hepatitis and to access appropriate care if they do have HIV/AIDS or hepatitis, or are struggling with substance problems.
Recognizing that youth have different risks and needs than adults, we will conduct a local, youth-specific, HIV substance abuse/hepatitis needs assessment with key stakeholders in year one (including a synthesis of

SAGE Project, Inc. in San Francisco, CA has received a 5 year Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) grant to provide substance abuse prevention and HIV and Hepatitis prevention services to minority populations and minority reentry populations.
The SAGE Project, a 501 (c) (3) community-based organization, will implement the Strategic Prevention Framework in the San Francisco Bay Area in collaboration with the DPH Practice Improvement Collaborative (PIC) a SAMHSA-funded initiative.
The "law enforcement," "substance abuse" and "Youth and Families" workgroups from the PIC will be solicited to participate in a strategic planning process with DPH and SAGE. From this process a workgroup consisting of selected providers will be formed and a schedule of meetings developed. Using the community needs assessment as a guide, the workgroup will develop a strategic plan to mobilize current resources and build capacity by adding additional resources, ultimately forming a coalition of public and private agencies that will carry out the activities indicated in the strategic plan. Simultaneously with the strategic plan development process SAGE will pilot Hepatitis Education seminars using a curriculum developed specifically for this purpose. SAGE will offer training to both service providers and their clients, initially at selected agencies that serve individuals with criminal justice histories and also minority populations.
By year three the coalition of agencies that have been brought together for this project will implement evidence-based prevention programs according to a timeline and work plan which will be part of the strategic plan. The DPH will be involved from program inception to culmination and will design and implement an evaluation of the project.

The Orange County Bar Foundation proposes enhancing our model Stop Short of Addition substance abuse intervention to include integrated HIV/Hepatitis prevention education and counseling, testing, and referral services for a target population of hard to reach Latino and re- entry youth in Orange County, California that are currently identified as abusing alcohol/drugs and therefore at high risk of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis.
The purpose of the proposed project is to reduce the spread of substance abuse, which increases the risk for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, and other infectious diseases among Latino and re-entry youth populations. The project will provide integrated substance abuse and HIV/Hepatitis prevention services in a culturally competent manner to the target population.
The Orange County Bar Foundation will target Latino youth, males and females, ages 12-18, in Orange County, CA that are at high risk of substance abuse and HIV/Hepatitis infection. These youth will be identified by: 1) A law enforcement agency, parent/family member, school official, or a community agency as currently using alcohol and/or drugs; or 2) The County's juvenile detention facilities as reentering the Orange County population. The Orange County Bar Foundation's model program, Stop Short of Addiction, includes: 1) clinical intake assessment; 2) substance abuse prevention sessions; 3) ethnic-specific, science- based Brief Strategic Family Therapy, and 4) Case management and referral services. All program services will be provided in Spanish, in a culturally appropriate and sensitive manner. The project will incorporate components of the HIV/Hepatitis prevention curriculum from our current CSAP and CDC approved programs, Project Youth Connect and Hermana Project, to the existing Stop Short of Addition program services. Access will be provided to HIV and Hepatitis C testing, pre/post counseling, and referrals to Hepatitis A/B immunization services.

The California Rural Indian Health Board (CRIHB), the lead agency managing the California American Indian Recovery (CAIR) program, plans to expand a proven voucher system to fund culturally appropriate clinical treatment and recovery support services to American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) people with substance abuse disorders, to build system capacity, expand access and choice, improve efficiency and service quality, establishing a sustainable healthcare service-delivery model that supports life-long recovery. CRIHB plans to expand the CAIR voucher management system (VMS) both geographically and in project scope through teaming with the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) to extend access to 43 additional Tribes across California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
This expansion represents a strategic move toward sustainability, created by replicating the success of the ATR CAIR VMS in the Pacific Northwest to more effectively meet the service needs of more than one-fifth of the nation's American Indian population. CRIHB believes once NPAIHB experiences the VMS's capacity to distribute resources equitably and efficiently, while improving the quality of client care, NPAIHB will contribute to CRIHB's sustainability campaign, advocating an ongoing commitment of resources to meet these critical needs.

The LOFFDI program will target 105 pregnant and postpartum women (PPW) and their minor children to: increase family connections; provide children of PPW with needed interventions to mitigate the effects of parental substance abuse; teach effective parenting interventions to reduce child abuse; and improve attention to health care, in particular, pre and post natal services. The project's target population consists of female parolees (over the age of 18) residing in Los Angeles County who are pregnant or postpartum, who are residents of the Walden House Female Offender Treatment and Employment Program (FOTEP) in EI Monte, CA. The purpose of WH's proposed project is to enhance the service provision structure of the current FOTEP program. This program is a long-term multi-service residential treatment program for female parolees with children. The proposed service enhancement will include: needed family interventions, improved parenting training, focused and motivationally oriented outreach to the prisons and parole units targeting pregnant and postpartum women, improved coordination of medical care for mothers and children and organization of the network of service providers already involved with FOTEP. Improved outreach and services coordination to PPW will lead to improved retention.

The Clinica Sierra Vista Substance Abuse and HIV Expansion Project proposes to expand its substance abuse treatment and HIV care services by integrating two additional service areas. The project will provide substance abuse treatments services at the HIV care program site in the city of Bakersfield and expand HIV care services to the substance abuse treatment site in the city of Delano. The integration and expansion of these services will begin to eliminate barriers to care for Latino and African American men and women at high risk for HIV disease and increase the number entering substance abuse treatment services. Services are targeted to Latino and African American men and women living in Bakersfield and Delano; men who inject drugs, including men who have sex with men (MSM), and at risk non-injecting MSMs, individuals who have been released from prison/jail in the past two years, women, and women and their children. The program proposes to provide substance abuse and infectious disease screening services to 220 clients, rapid HIV testing to 160 clients, case management services to 130 clients and substance abuse treatment services to 120 clients annually.

The purpose of this five-year initiative is to close the gap in substance abuse and HIV/AIDS services for principally African-American and Latino homeless persons in shelters and on the streets of Los Angeles' Skid Row. The goal is to assure that all persons on Skid Row that are at-risk of, or who have a substance abuse dependency, receive pre-treatment and timely treatment services, and are educated about HIV/AIDS and provided rapid HIV testing. The geographic area to be served is the Skid Row Section of downtown Los Angeles. It is a 50-block area-the largest community in the United States composed entirely of indigent, transient, and low-income residents, with a daily homeless population of between 11,000 and 13,000. The target populations for this proposal are primarily substance abusing African American and Hispanic/Latino residents, most of who are homeless, and are at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, including men who inject drugs, men who have sex with men (MSM), individuals recently released from prisons and jails, and women. In the first year, JWCH will provide at least 400 new clients with enhanced HIV testing, education, and other services. Of this number, it will refer at least 100 clients for enhanced substance abuse services provided through the Weingart Center, based on an assessment that determines that they have a substance dependency.

PROTOTYPES, Centers for Innovation in Health, Mental Health and Social Services, propose a specialized, intensive residential treatment program for pregnant and postpartum women (PPW). This project will allow PROTOTYPES to expand the availability of comprehensive, integrated, high quality residential substance abuse treatment services for low-income women, age 18 and over, who are pregnant and postpartum, and for their minor children, ages 0-17 years, and family members, who have limited access to quality health services. The project will be implemented in Los Angeles County, California. PROTOTYPES propose to use this new funding to serve 40 new PPW women and their children and family members per year. The expansion and value added with the PPW funding is that the program will be able to expand services to all the children of the women and to the women's extended families. Treatment will take place in the newly constructed, state-of-the-art, 11,000 sq. ft. building on the Women's Center campus, with an entire residential wing to be devoted to this new Intensive Residential program. This will allow the women to bond with one another easily as they enter treatment and later to gradually increase their integration into the larger therapeutic community on the campus. Goals of the project are to: (1) Decrease the use and abuse of prescription, alcohol, tobacco, illicit, and other harmful drugs; (2) Increase safe and healthy pregnancies, improve birth outcomes, and reduce related effects of maternal drug abuse on infants and children; (3) Improve the mental health and physical health of the women and children; (4) Improve family functioning, economic stability, and quality of life; and (5) Decrease involvement in and exposure to crime, violence, sexual and physical abuse, and child abuse and neglect. Project evaluation will be carried out by The Measurement Group (TMG). The project will use evidence-based practices and a specialized child skill-building intervention.

Southern California Alcohol & Drug Programs, Inc. seeks to reduce risk and increase protective factors for substance abuse among disadvantaged Latino adolescents and their families in Los Angeles County SPA 7 via access to evidence-based ACRA treatment. The project will serve 75 adolescents (plus their family members) each year, for a project total of 225. Cost per adolescent will be $4,000. The program will be called Si, Se Puede! (Yes, It's Possible!).
Latino adolescents and their family have been targeted as they are a population at risk for substance abuse and in large numbers. Over 12% of the U.S. population is now Latino and, of the country's 35.5 million Latinos, 10 million live in California. Los Angeles County is home to the nation's largest Latino population (47% of residents,) and the largest Latino population in L.A. County resides in the target area of L.A. County Service Planning Area 7 (68% of residents.) Here in SPA 7, 79% of all children are Latino children, thus a problem for this majority "minority" is a problem for us all. The need for Latino-specific treatment, so critical in Los Angeles right now, will soon be felt nationwide. The U.S. Census Bureau reports a 58% increase in America's Latino population from 1990 to 2000, and this is our country's fastest growing group.
