Pennsylvania Families Incorporated (PFI) was conceived with the priority of identifying the family support organizations in the 67 counties and establishing communication linkages. Today our Internet relay sends information to nearly 10,000 groups and individuals in our commonwealth daily. Activities are designed to empower and identify family, youth, and community leaders to participate on governing boards.
The success is rooted in PFO's deep conviction that each family organization has value. That value is derived from the individuals who came together as peers in thier own county with their unique culture and value system of what success would mean in the life of their child and family.
Counties will inquire about famiies who are available to participate in planning and policy development, we can send them a list of their constutuent groups. Through technical assistance, we share a model for inclusion and support for the family members as they devlop into their appropriate roles on committees and sustain their activity.
PFI represents the initial attempt of familiy members in Pennsylvania to identify, support, educate, and inform families of children with serious emotioal disturbance about issues important to them. Family organizations accross the commonwealth have the same level of fragmentation as the service systems that they are attached to. Parents were often more knowledgeable of alternatives because of their personal experience or because of the experience of those in their local support networks. Sharing or partnering among these groups was infrequent. Knowledge of state supported initiates for change were rarely widely recongized.

The COLOURS Organization, Inc. in Phildelphia, PA has received a 5 year Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) grant to provide substance abuse prevention and HIV and Hepatitis prevention services to minority populations and minority reentry populations.
COLOURS proposes to implement the AMARI Project as a way to bring community and service providers together to prevent co-occurring disorders in the sexual minority people of color (SMPC) population.
The Pennsylvania State Health Improvement Plan recommends a systems approach
coordinated community solutions to health status problems are most likely to be successful when they are considered within the context of a broad system of preventive services, personal health services and social services, which collaborate to address a common underlying cause. The AMARI Project intends to utilize SAMHSA's Strategic Planning Framework as a stepping stone to providing culturally competent, collaborative substance abuse, HIV / AIDS and hepatitis prevention programs for SMPC (including the re-entry population) engaging in activities that put them at high risk of infection.

Penn State University in partnership with Progressive Life Center, Inc. of Philadelphia, along with other community partners is proposing an initiative to provide young African American girls in Southwest Philadelphia with the skills necessary to promote healthy behavior and reduce risk. The primary goal of this project is to implement a culturally congruent social cognitive intervention designed to decrease risky behaviors in the sex and drug domains. Co-occurring problems of early and unprotected sex and drug engagement confront many African American adolescent females, especially those who reside in low-income high-risk communities. The period of early adolescence (11-14) may be an especially risky and vulnerable period as girls begin the developmental transition from childhood to adolescence. Prevention interventions must simultaneously address the issue of drug and sex at this critical age before problems surface. The objectives of this study are: (1) to implement an effective intervention that decreases risky attitudes and behaviors within the sexual and drug domains; (2) to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention at increasing skills and self-efficacy beliefs within these domains; and (3) to evaluate the extent to which the intervention strengthens and promotes positive cultural and identity factors. This initiative proposes to target 180 girls over the course of 3 years. Intervention components will consist of 30 integrated cultural sessions used by the investigators in previous prevention programs to strengthen ethnic and gender identity and a relational orientation. The cultural curriculum will be integrated with a curriculum aimed at sexual risk and HIV prevention, such as the 6-session Be Proud! Be Responsible! Curriculum developed by Jemmott, Jemmott, and McCaffree (1996); and a curriculum to increase drug refusal efficacy and skills, and to prevent or delay drug use, such as Botvin's 16-session Life Skill Training (LST).

JEVS proposes to develop a model integrated substance abuse and HIV prevention program targeting women in methadone maintenance treatment and their families. The program will be developed and implemented at Achievement through Counseling and Treatment (ACT I and II), JEVS'MMT program. Once implemented and evaluated, and with the support of multiple state and local funders, JEVS will offer the program as a service to clients at the ACT and other MMT programs throughout the city. JEVS anticipates that this prevention program will add a new dimension to the services it provides at its own MMT clinics but also services available to clients of other clinics citywide. It will be a model for other MMT clinics.
The project, "Achievement through Family Development," targets high risk African American and Hispanic mothers, their partners who are willing to participate, and their families with a focus on prevention of drug abuse and HIV-risk behavior for their children ages 10-16. The women are in treatment at Achievement through Counseling and Testing (ACT), a methadone maintenance treatment program (MMT) in Philadelphia, PA. In this project, ACT's two clinics will assume broader roles as community agencies and develop a prevention program targeting high risk youth in the neighborhoods around them. The principal goal of the project, in recognition of the high risk status of children of drug dependent persons, is to intervene with the families and their children to prevent the emergence of drug abuse/dependence and HIV-risk behavior in the next generation. The project will draw upon elements of a few different programs, each empirically demonstrated in previous evaluations to be effective prevention modalities, to provide an intensive, integrated intervention that addresses parenting skills, the quality of family relationships, social skills of the children, and knowledge of the personal risks of drug abuse and the HIV-risk associated with substance use and unprotec

Reading, Pennsylvania has experienced an increasingly high incidence of both IV drug use (heroin) and HIV infection that is over represented among Hispanic residents. In response to this problem, the Community Prevention Partnership of Berks County is requesting funding to support the development and implementation of the Neighborhood Unity Program (NUP) a community outreach and educational intervention targeting Hispanic women. The NUP employs individual, group and community prevention strategies designed to reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse among participants, their families and their communities. The intervention will occur in two public housing developments and in Reading's Weed & Seed targeted area. The NUP proposes to employ an Information- Motivation-Behavioral Skills (Fisher & Fisher, 1992) prevention model for program participants that will utilize an evidence-based curriculum and be offered in two formats. The first format is a 12-week program with six sessions covering HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention as well as sessions on conflict resolution, family relationships, self-esteem, stress management and accessing resources. The second format is a 6-week program limited to HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention. The efficiency and effectiveness of both models will be tested. The second activity of the project will support the development of a Women's Health Council (WHC) (Sikkema et al, 200) in each of the four project sites. Women who have completed the educational program will be recruited to serve on the WHC and participate in a specialized train the trainer program "Talking to your Kids about AIDS" curriculum (Meschke et al, 1999). They will then serve a peer educator role to teach their neighbors how to talk to their children about substance abuse and AIDS and they will assist with community education on HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention through community events and activities aimed at adults, young adults, families

The Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force (PATF), in collaboration with Persad Center, Inc., the University Of Pittsburgh Graduate School Of Public Health Department Of Infectious Diseases And Microbiology, and the Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, have developed the Partnership for Intervention and Empowerment (PIE) Project. It is the goal of PIE to strengthen partnerships with neighborhood communities in order to ignite and promote strategies that will reduce the risk and harm of Substance Abuse, HIV, and Hepatitis infections. We will reduce these risks by uniting the power and knowledge of community leaders with evidence-based prevention intervention tools. The project will take place in four subsidized housing communities within the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In accordance with SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework, we will conduct Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment and work with Tenant Councils to mobilize community members, not only for the purposes of implementation but also to inform the Needs Assessment. Information gained from the Needs Assessment will help us further define our target communities. Our approach will include a community-wide effort, addressing the needs of youth, women at risk, and the reentry population, which consists of female offenders, adjudicated delinquents, and men who have been previously incarcerated and are "living off the lease" in subsidized housing units. Evidence-based prevention interventions will be utilized, and will address substance abuse issues, HIV prevention, and Hepatitis infection in communities of color. HIV Rapid Testing and Hepatitis screenings will also be offered in community settings on an ongoing basis.

The Juvenile Treatment Court Expansion Program (JTCEP) builds on the early success of the Philadelphia Juvenile Treatment Court, which became operational in September 2004. Philadelphia Health Management Corporation (PHMC) is proposing to develop a new, family-focused, multi-component adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in the Kensington neighborhood of northeast Philadelphia to serve approximately 80 juvenile offenders referred through the proposed JTCEP. JTCEP will be unique in several ways. It will address a gap in the availability of outpatient treatment services for adolescents in an area with the highest number of juvenile drug arrests in Philadelphia. Second, the proposed IOP will incorporate empirically supported assessment and treatment models developed in the CSAT funded Cannabis Youth Treatment Study (Dennis et. al, 2002). These models will help Project staff to engage families in treatment, increase retention, and target mental health and trauma related symptoms as well as substance abuse delinquency. Third, JTCEP will include an innovative integration between a clinical service program and the juvenile justice system by expanding the role of the Probation Officer to include home-based case management, training in evidence-based treatment and case management models and increased communication and collaboration with the Clinical Treatment Team.

The proposed New Pathways for Women Project is a collaboration of Philadelphia Health Management Corporation (PHMC) and the Black Women's Health Alliance (BWHA). During the proposed 5-year grant period, we will expand current outreach services to engage an additional 7,360 substance-involved African American women who are at high risk for HIV infection and enroll 540 women for enhanced individual pre-treatment counseling/case management support. The project will also conduct weekly group psycho-educational and peer support sessions to engage at least 50% (270) of the enrolled 540 women, offer on-site rapid HIV testing, and, as needed, will directly escort and link women to confirmatory HIV testing, HIV primary care and case management services, substance abuse treatment, and other support services. PHMC is a non-profit public health organization with 20 years experience conducting HIV/AIDS research, prevention and outreach services. BWHA is a multi service community-based organization with 24 years experience serving African American women and their families through outreach, health education, and social service programs designed to improve their health care outcomes. The project will develop and implement an outreach and pre-treatment model of gender-specific, culturally competent, trauma-informed services for African American substance- involved women who are at high risk for HIV infection and partner with them to facilitate their enrollment in substance abuse treatment, HIV testing and counseling services, and as appropriate, HIV primary care, case management and related social support services.

Pennsylvania Recovery Organization Achieving Community Together (PRO-ACT), is led by and for members of the recovery community. The project will provide peer-driven recovery support services to reduce the incidence of recidivism and decrease the potential for relapse for 2,950 individuals in the five county Southeast Pennsylvania regions who are in recovery from Substance Use and Co-Occurring disorders.
The project will extend and enhance the recovery support continuum to help prevent relapse and promote long-term recovery by increasing the number and type of peer-to-peer support services available to the target population. The project will facilitate the development of three Recovery Community Resource Centers that support provision of educational and peer-led/peer driven services in a manner that increases recovery community credibility and overcomes stigma and other barriers to recovery support services. Additionally, the project proposes to facilitate the development of strategies within a five-county regional network created through PRO-ACT to provide peer-to-peer support.
