FY 2007 Funding: $452,199
Project Period: 09/30/2002 - 09/29/2008
The Glenn County, CA Mental Health Department is using this cooperative agreement to enhance and expand their current Children's Systems of Care to deliver comprehensive community mental health services for young children (ages 0-4), children and adolescents (ages 5-18) and transition age youth (ages 14-22) with serious emotional disturbance and their families. Youth with a dual diagnosis of mental health and substance abuse will also be served. This project will enhance and continue to develop a community service delivery system for these children and youth, improving access to a broad array of local partner-agency services. The program goals include keeping children and youth at home with their families, in school, out of trouble with the legal system, off illegal substances, and healthy. Glenn County is committed to measuring the effectiveness of system development, improved outcomes for children and communities, and fiscal effectiveness. Youth and families will be involved in all aspects of the System of Care including planning, service delivery, evaluation, quality improvement, social marketing, advocacy and cultural competency awareness. Paid positions for Parent Partners and Peer Advocates are an important component of this System of Care. A significant outcome of this funding will be shown when county agencies become more culturally competent in hiring minorities reflective of Glenn County's ethnic makeup and delivering services in a culturally competent manner. All children's agencies in the county are committed to work together to share resources, blend funds and build a comprehensive and coordinated system for these children and their families.

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.

Project Period: 09/30/2006 - 09/29/2009
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.

Minorities make up over 70% of California's prison population. For a majority of inmates, drugs or alcohol played a role in their criminal behavior. After release from prison, these individuals typically return to low income neighborhoods where illicit drugs and alcohol are readily available. Because of higher rates of HIV infection within California prison populations than in the general public, intimate partners of inmates - largely low-income women of color - are at a much high risk for HIV infection than other women. Centerforce, a community based organization that serves inmates, ex-offenders and their families in Northern and Central California, currently offers a peer -driven, comprehensive system of health and social service programs. Centerforce is proposing a new, integrated substance abuse prevention and HIV prevention program called ASAP (AIDS and Substance Abuse Prevention Project). The target population for ASAP comprises minority inmates and ex-offenders and the intimate partners of these individuals. ASAP will serve these three client groups at three prisons in Central and Northern California: San Quentin State Prison and the Family Wellness Center (called "The House of San Quentin") in Marin County (1) Valley State Prison and (3) Central California Women's Facility both in Madera County.

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 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.

La Clinica de La Raza - Fruitvale Health Project, Inc. (La Clinica) is a community health center in the city of Oakland in Alameda County, California. Oakland has great cultural diversity, but it also presents a host of risks to youth: poverty, violence, low educational achievement, early and unsafe sexual activity, and high rates or substance abuse. As a result, Oakland youth, especially youth of color, are at high risk for addiction and HIV infection by their early 20s. In 2003, the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) sought La Clinica's assistance to develop a model substance abuse and HIV prevention intervention for its students. The proposed Project Substance and HIV Free, or Project SAHF Project Substance and HIV Free, or Project SAHF (pronounced "safe") has been designed in response. Throughout the five year grant period, Project SAHF will be implemented at five OUSD schools which have or are in the process of developing school-based health centers. These are Oakland Technical High School, Fremont High School, and Roosevelt Middle School (which have health centers operated by La Clinica), and Castlemont and McClymonds High Schools, which have health centers being developed by OUSD and a community collaborative. Project SAHF aims to provide integrated, science-based substance abuse and HIV prevention services in these five middle and high schools. The target population includes Latino, African American and Asian American youth, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teens. Proposed interventions are intended to increase knowledge about substance abuse and HIV, create attitude and behavior change to reduce risk, and enhance resiliency factors.

CAL-PEP proposes to enhance and expand its capacity to continue offering culturally competent integrated substance abuse prevention and HIV services to unduplicated 1,750 adolescent African American sexual minorities in Alameda County, California over a 5-year period. The overall goal of CAL-PEP's SAP/HIV project is to test the efficacy of using a blend of behavior change approaches to reduce or prevent substance abuse and HIV among adolescent African American sexual minorities. Our program proposes to use a multi-component approach that addresses behavioral change in a primary domain, individual; a secondary domain, the family; and a tertiary domain, the community. Our prevention program model is culturally competent, sensitive to the issues of sexual and gender identity, and developmental and linguistically appropriate to our target groups. Risk factors this program aims at minimizing or eliminating are injection drug use (IDU), binge drinking, or use of alcohol or drugs and engaging in unprotected sex; use of alcohol or drugs that may lead to rape/non-consensual sex, having sex without a condom, to other unsafe sexual practices, women having unprotected sex with MSMs, having unprotected sex with and IDU user, and trading sex for drugs. The major components of CAL-PEP's integrated substance abuse prevention and HIV prevention services are strategic planning to enhance CAL-PEP's SAP/HIVP service delivery and evaluation capacity, outreach and intensive case management, and substance abuse and HIV risk reduction education and prevention Currently, like many other agencies across the county - CAL-PEP provides outreach, prevention case management, and risk-reduction education, but these services are not sufficient to address the serious needs of the mostly adolescents who trade sex for money or drugs, or engage in other forms of risky health behaviors.

Tarzana Treatment Centers, Inc. (TTC), Southern California's leading behavioral health care organization, provides Substance Abuse and HIV prevention services to youth throughout Los Angeles County. TTC will expand capacity for prevention services for minority youth in the Antelope Valley, by engaging a Core Group of 60-80 high risk youth each year in a weekly, interactive, arts-based curriculum delivered at four different sites. With its sparse population, lack of services, and rapid growth, the Antelope Valley fosters a high-risk environment that is a major problem for law enforcement and human service workers. High rates of criminal behavior, teen pregnancy, and school dropout plague the region, which is recognized as having the highest HIV related disease burden in the County. The proposed program would be the first significant Substance Abuse and HIV prevention program in the region, establishing the partnerships, community awareness, and support infrastructure necessary to combat what will undoubtedly be a rising tide of societal ills. Through the process of developing a group art project around a prevention theme, the program will increase risk awareness, resiliency and protective factors in the Core Group of 60-80 youth. The program will integrate Substance Abuse and HIV prevention by focusing on developing decision-making and life skills that bolster ability in youth to ability in youth to avoid and resist high-risk behaviors. Through one-on-one counseling sessions, Core Group participants will set personal prevention goals and tailor activities to meet their needs. Behavior change activities will be informed by the Transtheoretical Model, which moves individuals through a process based on their readiness, willingness and ability to implement change. The program will impact a broader segment of the population through: 1) Core Group participant outreach to their peers, and 2) Public presentation of the art projects.

The Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) Inc" recognizes that Asians and Pacific Islanders (API's) are at a critical juncture with respect to HIV and AIDS. We remain in the early stages of the epidemic and are in prime position to prevent and avoid unnecessary infection and subsequent death with groups who demonstrate specific high-risk behaviors. Because of our relative insularity, once HIV takes hold, the course of the epidemic in our communities could come to resemble that of the African American and Hispanic/Latino populations if effective prevention interventions are not initiated and sustained. The taboo of homosexuality compel gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and questioning APIs to consume illicit substances like methamphetamines and ketamine in order to escape self-hatred and engage in sexual practices. Crystal methamphetamine catalyzes hypersexuality and incoherence of safe sexual practices. In addition, an alarming number of API women in Los Angeles County are employing "crystal meth" as a source of weight reduction, facilitating HIV transmittal. AADAP's SAP and HIV Case Management Program is two fold: a) providing college-aged API's with risk reduction skills and b) changing community norms surrounding the stigmatization of substance abuse and HIV AIDS. The target ethnic groups are: Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese, the four API communities currently reflecting the highest rate of advanced HUIV (AIDS) disease.

Bienestar Human Services, Inc. proposes to implement the Substance Abuse Prevention and HIV Education Program ("pronounces SAFE"), a Latino-specific integrated HIV and substance use prevention program in San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties, California. This program will target Latino young adults, ages 18 to 27. The evaluation will test the effectiveness of a culturally specific, multidimensional approach to prevention services. The SAPHE Program will include a variety of culturally-specific outreach, group-level, peer-level, and community level interventions. This approach is designed to enhance both the personal and culture-specific protective factors in the target population in order to prevent the onset of substance use or progression to abuse, as well as the associated risk for HIV infection. Outreach will target young adults where they congregate, e.g., at "raves," which are all-night dance parties where club drugs are abundant, on college campuses, and in other popular locations. Through outreach participants will be invited to participate in other program interventions, for example health education/public information events, a 5-week closed small group experience, a training to become "natural leaders" to promote positive peer influences, and finally a community-level intervention that will consist of painting murals that depict HIV and substance use prevention themes. Mural painting is part of the Latino tradition and history. In order to fully involve the target population and community in all aspects of the program design and delivery, Bienestar will establish two Community Advisory Boards (CAB), one located in the neighboring regions of the Pomona Valley of Los Angeles County and the other in San Bernardino County. These CABs will provide ongoing feedback, which will serve to refine the SAPHE program to ensure that it meets the needs of Latino young adults.

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.

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.
