Community Counseling Center (CCC), as lead agency for the Greater Portland Children's Trauma Response Initiative (The Children's Initiative), proposes to develop a community-wide trauma-informed system of care for children who are suffering as a result of witnessing violence in or out of the home and/or experiencing violence outside of the family. The Children's Initiative, as part of a coalition of 24 organizations in Greater Portland (Maine) will provide a full range of trauma- informed services: outreach, community education, assessment and triage, training and treatment. The Initiative plans to utilize the evidence-based Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Model (TF-CBT) and serve male and female children, between the ages of five and eighteen residing in twelve cities and towns in southern Maine. The Children's Initiative's goals include: 1) Develop an inclusive community-based coalition with active participants from Greater Portland; 2) Form a consensus on TF-CBT; 3) Implement the TF-CBT model throughout the Greater Portland area; 4) Develop a systems-wide infrastructure to facilitate the referral, treatment, and coordination of care for children, and their families, who have experienced and/or witnessed violence; and 5) Conduct evaluation performance improvement activities.

The State of Maine, Children's Behavioral Health Services, intends to build an infrastructure and implement an integrated system of care for children ages birth through eighteen with serious emotional disturbances while learning more about and more effectively addressing the needs of a particularly vulnerable and high risk group, young people who have experienced trauma. Children's Behavioral Health Services has teamed up with Child and Family Services (child welfare), Department of Corrections, Department of Education, parents, youth and Tri-County Mental Health Services, a comprehensive mental health center with experience in the development and implementation of trauma-informed practices for adults, to develop its system of care. The focus will be in three western counties, Androscoggin, Oxford and Franklin, with some of the highest rates of immigrants and refugees as well as over average incidences of poverty, child abuse reports and foster care placements. Over 30 state and local agencies, respected professionals in the field of children's mental health and childhood trauma, statewide family organizations and national experts have committed their support for this project.

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.
Maine's Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant will build a statewide data-driven prevention infrastructure that provides common tools and supports for prevention and health promotion programs.

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Substance Abuse (OSA) proposes to expand the use of the Rapid Cycle of Change process to improve client access and retention in MaineÂ’s outpatient treatment system. In Year 1 Maine will work with two groups of providers: six current users of the process (Early Adopters) and three to five new providers (Group 2). OSA will expand the group of users two more times over the three years of funding, eventually engaging providers that are responsible for 80% of Maine's outpatient admissions. OSA will support Change Projects within local treatment agencies. It will directly initiate its own Change Projects at the state level, altering state policies, procedures and allocation of resources in order to make services more accessible and responsive to client needs across all outpatient treatment providers. In order to disseminate knowledge of the process and lessons learned from the process, OSA will create Peer Learning Communities for the participating organizations. Communications mechanisms among the participants will include regular conference calls, semi-annual meetings of the Maine based organizations and their Change Coaches, and participation in the annual national meeting of the National Improvement of Treatment (NIATx) network.
