The purpose of this project is to address mental health service needs of under-served persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Atlanta, Georgia. The project will provide comprehensive, culturally competent, effective, and state-of-the-art on-site mental health services integrated within HIV/AIDS medical care settings. Both treatment services to address HIV-related mental health complications and mental health wellness services to promote psychological and emotional health and well-being will be offered. The service model is guided by a biopsychosocial, client-centered, and integrated approach to care. An array of services will be available to address the complex intertwining biomedical, psychological, and psychosocial effects of HIV/AIDS. Mental health services will be integrated into existing HIV/AIDS medical care settings to facilitate continuity of care, seamless coordination among medical and mental health service providers, and increased service access because of on-site availability of mental health services.

The DeKalb County Treatment Diversion Court (DDTC) proposes to expand local mental health services available to the non-violent offenders with serious mental illness to divert more individuals from the jail to a court supervised community-based treatment program. DDTC will continue to build on existing relations between the criminal justice system, mental health providers, and a wide array of community service organizations. The DDTC TEAM employs a comprehensive and culturally competent system of care that includes Assertive Community Treatment, intensive ease management, integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment, medication management and access, psychiatric rehabilitation, and gender-based trauma services. DDTC has documented success with high retention (71%) and low recidivism (8%) in 2006. One of the key expansion objectives of DDTC is to enhance outreach to refugees and immigrants and assertively reach out to ethnic-minority individuals.

Georgia Parent Support Network, Inc. (GPSN) is the Georgia arm of the Federation of Families for Children's Metnal Health. GPSN will be building on accomplishments achieved through previously funded Statewide Family network Grants. We will work with the State of Georgia on four currently funded federal grants that target youth with severe emotional disturbances and the families of these youth to maximize the opportunity for family involvement as Georgia moves forward building the infrastructure to make Systems of Care (SOC) a reality in all Georgia communities. The target population is youth with severe emotioal disturbances and their families in the state of Georgia. Georgia's service systems are in the process of transformation. The proposal will strengthen orgaizational relationships, improve collaboration, and develop closer relationships with advocacy and child-serving organizations and the newly developing local SOCs within Georgia. We believe that a strong family presence in both the planning and implementation phases of the grants is essential to the success and sustainability of the program process. GPSN is well positioned to ensure meaningful family involvement and participation at all levels. GPSN families and youth currently serve on many federal, state and local boards, committees, and task forces. Our proposed strategy is to ensure that families serve on the advisory and implementtion counceils of the four grants in Georgia and to build on our existing relationships to have a strong voice in each of the SOCs which are developing throughout Georgia.

The overall purpose of the Child and Adolescent State Infrastructure Grant Project is to strengthen the capacity, from a state level, to develop, expand and sustain mental health, substance abuse and co-occurring services and supports at the community-based level for youth who have serious emotional disturbances, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders and their families. Strategies addressed include: development of a trained workforce, funding strategies, policies and practice guidelines and web resource development and improved data infrastructure development. As lead agency, the Department of Human Resources, Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases (DMHDDAD) will administer project activities including the establishment of a State level Children's Behavioral Health Service Collaborative (CBHS Collaborative). The CBHS Collaborative will develop a statewide vision for behavioral health services across all child-serving agencies, develop a state strategic plan for building capacity to provide behavioral health services including provider and network development, mapping financial resources currently being spent on BHS services across the child-serving systems and maximizing use of all funding streams. The project will also include development of a trained workforce, development of policy and practice guidelines to support service improvements and development of a mechanism for statewide information on resources available to serve youth with behavioral health needs. Achievement of these goals will lead to an improved service delivery system for youth and their families. The DMHDDAD will build upon the System of Care Quality Improvement project currently underway across the state with stakeholders that have formed into Action Teams and developed Action Plans.

The Imani Project is a community-based prevention initiative in the Department of Pediatrics at the Morehouse School of Medicine. The Imani Project will increase the capacity of residents in the Zone One catchment area of northwest Atlanta, Georgia by working with government, nonprofit, and faith-based entities to reduce the risks of substance abuse and the transmission of HIV and hepatitis. It will serve African Americans and other underserved residents (ages 13-25 preferred), including ex-offenders (ages 18-25 first offenders preferred). The Imani Project will provide substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis prevention education through high school and college peer educators at Frederick Douglass High School and HBCUs in the Zone One community. Imani staff and their collaborators will provide substance abuse education and HIV/AIDS and hepatitis prevention education to the re-entry populations. The intervention will employ an approach involving faith-based re-entry liaisons themselves while emphasizing entrepreneurship, business development, and job development where indicated. Program participants will consist of the following: Zone One residents at Bowen Homes and Bankhead Courts communities, re-entry populations (i.e., Jefferson Place Emergency and Transitional Housing, Antioch Urban Ministries, Inc. Reentry Services), students attending Frederick Douglass High School, and college students attending historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) including Morehouse College, and Clark Atlanta University. The targeted population has demonstrated risks for substance abuse, HIV / AIDS and hepatitis infection. In a geographical area where reportedly 95% of the ex-offenders manifest substance abuse problems, the number of AIDS cases are in the Atlanta metropolitan area is twice as high as the statewide number, especially among the African Americans in Fulton County. Further, the Zone One community has the highest incidences of AIDS and STDs in the State.

Recovery Consultants of Atlanta, Inc. (RCA, Inc.) is a faith-based, peer-led, Recovery
Community Organization (RCO). Founded in 1999 by concerned, committed and spiritually centered members of metro-Atlanta's 12-step and faith-based recovery communities. The goal is to provide peer-led support services that help sustain members of Atlanta's inner-city addiction recovery community. RCA, Inc. is the lead agency of a faith-based coalition that includes 6 predominately African American churches, and an Atlanta-based Historically Black College. The primary peer-led service, the one that subsequent services feed from, is a peer-led " Linkage to Care" program, consisting of a group of recovering individuals who literally canvas inner-city Atlanta communities and engage substance users in dialogue aimed at linking them with publicly funded detoxification programs and peer-led addiction recovery support services. Recovering individuals are linked with subsequent peer-led services that include but are not limited to: peer-led transitional housing, publicly funded addictive disorder treatment programs, Recovery @ Work (RAW) (a job training program offering full and part-time paid employment for up to 25 service recipients), and educational programs that improve parenting skills. The program will provide a recovery center offering more than 40 weekly 12-step, faith-based, health specific (HIV and HCV), gender specific, and family specific support groups.

WestCare Georgia's CARES Program will expand and enhance the system of care in the Tri-jurisdictional area of Georgia (the City of Atlanta, DeKalb and Fulton Counties), through outreach and pre-treatment services to 1000 youth. Youth will be primarily African American, age 12-17, who are at high risk for HIV/AIDS or are HIV +, are runaway and homeless youth or sexually exploited girls who trade sex for money and drugs, are living in the streets, and not living with parents or attending school regularly. 500 of these youth will receive additional testing and assessment services, and 350 will receive additional case management and wrap-around services annually, a total of 1750 over the life of the project. Goals include: (1) improving existing service delivery with community-based outreach and pretreatment services; (2) increasing stability and sobriety of youth; (3) reducing risk behaviors associated with HIV and other infectious diseases; and, (4) improving sobriety, health, stability and the social and emotional functioning of high risk adolescents. Crisis stabilization services will be provided for youth at WestCare's Assessment Center, where beds are available for 36-hour emergency, short term shelter. Enhanced services include gender specific treatment for sexually exploited girls and the provision of street outreach for runaway and homeless youth through the program's Safe Place Center.

The proposed ATTC is to be the vehicle for developing a strong collaborative entity in the States of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina that will serve as an effective mechanism for disseminating substance use disorder-related evidence-based practices and for supporting the adoption of such practices based on comprehensive understanding of the regional target population needs. The ATTC understands the importance of conducting its mission in a culturally competent manner and strives to give voice to those who are underrepresented and/or underserved within its region. The lead organization, Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), a not-for-profit entity, was created in 1981 and is a nationally recognized, Historically Black College and University located in Atlanta, GA. The current Southeast Addiction Technology Transfer Center, located at MSM, is housed within the National Center for Primary Care, home to more than seven other nationally recognized resource programs and centers.

The Center for Adolescent Wellness will provide both systems linkage and treatment services to sentenced substance-abusing juveniles (between the ages of 14 and 18) who are returning to their families from adult or juvenile incarceration. Collaboration with key stakeholders, best practice interventions (Chestnut Health Systems Bloomington's Out Patient and Intensive Outpatient Programs and Assertive Continuing Care) and varying modalities of treatment that include residential substance abuse treatment, intensive outpatient, and community-based treatment will address current deficits in care for sentenced substance-abusing juveniles. This program will have both treatment and systems linkages components. Systems linkages and treatment services are grounded in scientific theories and best practice guidelines related to substance abuse and criminal behavior among youth.
