| Program: TCE-Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Older Adults | SM56937 | |
| Congressional District: CO-06 | ||
| FY 2005 Funding: $395,340 | ||
| Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008 | ||
| The proposed project will be modeled after the Gatekeeper program, developed in 1978 in Spokane, Washington. It will be the first use of this program to benefit elderly adults within the confines of the state of Colorado and it will include the entirety of the five counties of: Jefferson, Boulder, Gilpin, Clear Creek and Broomfield. This program will be an extensive collaboration with four agencies which have worked together in the past but without the extent of overlap and infrastructure necessary to make this project a success. The four agencies include the Senior Resource Center, Jefferson Center for Mental Health, Tri-West Group Inc., and the Mental Health Center of Boulder County (which is in the process of a name change to the Mental Health Center of Boulder and Broomfield Counties). During this proposed three year project an advisory group will consist of key personnel from the four agencies. They will be joined by constituents of the target population, several agencies and government entities to form an advisory board which will assist in strategic planning, directing the activities of the program, reporting back to their agencies, and looking for opportunities to import the model to their, and other agencies around the state. A coordinator will be hired to conduct implementation of the program elements, area resources for elderly adults will be collated, a centralized ‘single-point entry’ call center put in place, and outreach teams hired and trained to be sent on referred home visits of elderly adults in need. | ||

| Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2010 | ||
| A collaborative involving several faith and community based service organizations, the Colorado Department of Corrections, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, City/County of Denver, Denver Health, and The Children's Hospital has formed to address substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention activities in minority communities. The project will focus increased coordination, resource sharing, and systems change to improve service delivery. The collaboration will seek to increase coordination of services for African Americans, Latinos, and Native American communities, including those in reentry by promoting a unified approach from substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention systems that now often operate in isolation from each other. A steering committee will implement a comprehensive needs assessment in the first year of the project. Results of the strategic planning will be implemented during subsequent years using Prevention Case Management, Screening, Brief Intervention/Referral, and other model programs selected through a community forum and work group approach that includes individuals from the target communities in the decision making process. Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities, a case management approach for individuals in reentry with an increased risk for alcohol or other drug abuse, will be the primary focus of the effort with the minority population in reentry and will develop an approach that integrates Hepatitis and HIV screening and referral into its current substance abuse screening and referral services, providing the model for expansion to other service providers. At the same time the larger city and state systems will explore ways to coordinate substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention and treatment so that clients receiving services for anyone of the concerns will be consistently screened and tested for the other two concerns. | ||

| Peer Assistance Services will implement Team Awareness, a model drug free workplace program, with 16-24 year olds who are employed by Youth Corps programs in Colorado. The three participating communities, Denver, Durango, and Steamboat Springs represent diverse populations living in both urban and rural settings who are a significant risk for alcohol and other drug use, both on and off the job. They have dropped out of school, lack job skills, have a history of impulsive or acting out behaviors, which are characteristics that are correlated with heavy use of substances. They represent an employment population that are often considered as ''throw-aways'' by employers, easier to replace than to fix. Peer Assistance Services, the employee assistance program (EAP) for Youth Corps, formed a collaborative planning committee with the three Youth Corps programs in Colorado, the Colorado Drug Free Workplace Alliance, the Colorado Association of Alcohol and Drug Service Providers, the DEA, and other organizations to implement a model drug free workplace model with this high-risk population. The planning committee, which will evolve into the project steering committee, expects the successful of Team Awareness with the Colorado Youth Corps will lead to replication in the 113 other Youth Corps programs nationally, as well as in other employment settings that hire young, unskilled workers. Team Awareness, a model drug free workplace program, has been selected by the planning committee to implement with the Youth Corps employees. The focus of Team Awareness on building peer support through team building exercises is an ideal model for Youth Corps which places the young employees in teams that work together in construction, rehabbing homes, and other projects. | ||

| Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2009 | ||
| The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community-based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well. These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness. In Colorado, the Colorado Prevention Partners for Sustainable Change project will implement the grant to further state interagency efforts; develop and deploy needed prevention systems; address identified service gaps and policy needs; and build infrastructure at the state and community levels that, together, lead to more efficient and effective resource utilization for substance abuse problems and related issues. | ||

| The 2006 Family and Youth Summit (The Summit) will be held on Saturday, January 7, 2006, in the First National Bank Exhibition Hall located at the Larimer County Fairgrounds in Loveland, Colorado (see Appendix 4: Maps of the Conference Location). The primary goal of this one-day conference is to further implement the strategic plan developed by the communities of Fort Collins and Loveland in Larimer County, Colorado, during the Build-A-Generation (BAG)/Communities That Care® planning process. It specifically will do that by providing parents/caregivers, youth, youth service providers, educators and other stakeholders with information, resources and tools to help prevent youth from engaging in substance abuse, teen pregnancy, delinquency, and violence and dropping out of school, thus meeting a local research- based need for such information dissemination. The Summit also will serve as a way to motivate more people to participate in community service, especially where youth are involved. The Summit will include motivating speakers and several interactive sessions all designed to provide information about healthy living, including avoiding risky behavior such as substance abuse or teen pregnancy. Through targeted marketing efforts that will include bilingual marketing to Larimer County's nearly 10% Hispanic population, 300 participants -parents, youth, youth service providers, educators and others interested in improving the lives of youth -are expected to attend The Summit | ||

| Project Period: 07/15/2005 - 07/14/2009 | ||
| The Colorado Young Offender Community Reentry, Treatment, and Coordination Program will provide 200 particularly high-risk young offenders with a uniform and coordinated combination of substance abuse, community support, restorative justice, and cognitive education services. As juveniles who have received adult sentences but can access neither adult offender nor juvenile offender services these young offenders currently fall through the cracks of the Colorado Corrections system. Their status as felony offenders makes reentry particularly difficult, increases the likelihood of recidivism and relapse, and creates a higher degree of danger to public safety than for most youthful offenders. The planned services include universal access to quality-assured, consistent, and research-based substance abuse treatment - which is currently not available in some areas or to some clients. Circles of Accountability and Support and other community linkages will be added to the service mix. The young offenders can continue to receive these services after their state sentence has been completed and the project stakeholders have pulled out of their lives. | ||
