The Yakima County Jail Diversion Program will serve chronically and acutely mentally ill adults ages 18 and older who come into contact with the Yakima County or City of Yakima law enforcement, court or jail systems. The program will utilize a multi-point jail diversion model to avoid or dramatically reduce the length of incarceration for acutely and chronically mentally ill adults. The model will divert individuals from jail at three contact points. The first diversion point will be the initial law enforcement contact (pre-booking). Chronically or acutely mentally ill adults (including those with co-occurring disorders) may be diverted prior to booking to a voluntary plan and voluntary mental health services. The second diversion point will be at arraignment (post-booking). The target population who have been arrested and who are identified as potential candidates through a mental health assessment would be considered for diversion. The third diversion point will be at adjudication (post-booking/post adjudication). Acutely or chronically mentally ill individuals with complex mental health or co-occurring disorders and who have need of more complex or long-term interventions are targeted at this diversion point. In order to implement the diversion model outlined above, Yakima County will re-direct and expand its existing jail mental health/substance abuse services to a diversion focus. Yakima County will partner with Central Washington Comprehensive Mental Health.

Neighborhood House proposes Project HANDLE (HIV/AIDS) Network Development and Life-skills Experience) to prevent and reduce HIV and substance abuse (SA) among high-risk Cambodian refugee community in Seattle/King County (KC). HANDLE activities include culturally appropriate peer education and intensive services to high-risk youth including tutoring, prevention classes and job skills. Washington State has the third largest number of Cambodian refugees (15,00) in the US with most living in Seattle/KC. The Cambodian American youth of Seattle/KC are at very high risk for HIV/SA because of the favorable attitudes toward drug use, fighting and other and-social behaviors, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Cambodia is and sexual promiscuity. Local needs assessment data show that compared to American youth, Cambodian American youth are nearly three times more likely to have sexual intercourse and 93% of the Cambodian-American youth do not talk to their parents about HIV/STIs infection, sex or reproductive health problems. The incidence of reported AIDS cases in 2001 among Asians in Seattle is double the national rate for Asian/Pacific Islanders (Seattle/KC Public Health Department, 2001). Of the 37 HIV non-AIDS cases in Seattle King County, 19% are Cambodian refugees. The goals of HANDLE are to: 1) reduce high-risk behaviors and increase protective behaviors for high-risk Cambodian youth and their families; 2) increase parent's bicultural parenting skills and knowledge of HIV/SA; 3) increase community knowledge and awareness about HIV/SA; and 4) create Cambodian network and resources for HIV/SA. In collaboration with Cambodian Women's Association and other partners, our activities include intensive services to 50 high risk Cambodian youth and their parents including HIV/SA education classes, year-round youth employment and tutoring, parenting classes, community volunteering and youth cultural activities.

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. Washington State's Strategic Prevention Framework will provide the resources necessary to enhance existing assessment processes, implement and evaluate evidence-based strategies to address critical needs based on epidemiological data, and establish reporting procedures that track progress toward preventing substance abuse and related problems, including mental illness, delinquency, and violence.
