The project includes development of a Learning Collaborative that focuses on the use of PCIT with young traumatized children and their families. In addition, several prodicts will be developed to enhance and support clinicians use of PCIT in a broad range of settings (e.g., community mental health centers, private practice, in-home service providers). Three pathways will be used to dissseminate knowledge and skill related to the application of PCIT: 1) a 10-hour culturally competent web-couse for mental health providers who serve traumatized children and families will be created; 2) 10 agencies will be enrolled in PCIT Competency Achievement Training to deliver PCIT services and will be trained in the use of the 10-hour web-courses in their communitties; and 3) specific PCIT products will be developed which will support the effective use of PCIT. Objectives will be achieved through extensive collaboration with National Child Traumtic Stress Network (NCTSN) members and will include formation of PCIT Learning Collaboratives, a PCIT Workgroup, and a PCIT Family Consumer group. | |

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. |

| The Trauma Services Adaptation (TSA) Center for Resiliency, Hope, and Wellness in Schools promotes trauma-informed school systems by identifying, developing, evaluating, and disseminating evidence-based services across a continuum from prevention services that focus on building resilience in students, to early interventions and more intensive services for youth exposed to trauma of all types. The center will improve access to quality trauma services to all students, but especially underserved ethnic minority youth who are less likely to receive traditional services. The project will also meet the unique needs of children in military families, by focusing on workforce development for school-based personnel related to children and trauma, by developing a school resiliency model to address the whole school and its community, by promoting cultural competence in trainings and workforce development, by extending work with the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) program to include a train-the-trainer and certification program, by extending resources already developed into additional languages, by developing a web- based platform to provide support and networking opportunities to school-based clinicians who deliver evidence-based trauma services, and by developing a sustainability toolkit to solidify support of schools in sustaining their trauma-informed systems of care. The Center will develop several resources, including: resources for building resilient school environments, curriculum for Workforce Training in School-based Trauma Services, resources for military children and families, CBITS Train-the Trainer procedures and certification, web-based resources, Spanish language Child Trauma Toolkit for Educators, a Trauma in Schools Summit, and a Sustainability Toolkit for Schools. | |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Fresno has the most concentrated poverty of the nation's largest 50 cities. The target population for the proposed program is pregnant/postpartum women who abuse methamphetamine and have co-occurring mental disorders. The proposed treatment services are designed to specifically address characteristics and needs of mentally ill women with a primary addiction to methamphetamine (100%), and have symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (100%) and depression (97%). Women in the target population are primarily racial and ethnic minorities: 44% Latina, 7% African American, 3% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 5% Native American. The average age of participants is 32 years old, 95% are unemployed, 98% are homeless, and 40% are on welfare. These women have multiple life problems that must be addressed for treatment to be effective, including histories of trauma; disconnected relationships; serious health problems including HIV; lack of education and poor work history resulting in poverty; involvement in the criminal justice system; and risk of losing custody of their children. WestCare is proposing to employ a Treatment Team to engage clients in treatment, and provide integrated assessments, treatment plans, and therapeutic services for addiction and mental disorders.
