Parent Support Network of Rhode Island (PSN) believes in utilizing the strengths of youth, families, and community, while providing services designed to empower, support, and educate youth and families, so that they can live in a healthy interdependence within their communities. PSN is a statewide family network organization dedicated to the well being and needs of children, youth and young adults at high risk for or who have serious emotional disturbance and their families. PSN continues to have the need to further build an organizational infrastructure that ensures our families and youth will have ongoing opportuities, skills and resilience to pursue their goals for success in life. PSN will contunue to increase the leadership capacity of families and youth to be effective catalysts in transforming the Rhode Island system of care for children, youth, young adults and their families.
This proposed statewide family network project, "Transforming Netowrks", will enable PSN to contunnue the successful development, implementation and evaluation of local family and youth driven natural support networks; increase the leadership skills and capacity of families, youth and young adult leaders to participate in state and local system reform activities at all levels, and provide ongoing training and technical assistance opportuities that will ensure families, youth and young adults are empowered and self sufficient leaders. Families and youth who participated in our planning meeetings and ongoing focus groups have identified access to a nutural support network, respite care, youth mentor, and "family-friendly" parenting education opportunities as most needed services. These non-clinical services and supports are some of the most difficlut to access for youth an d families and there is a need for increased system capacity in all of the identified service areas.

Over the last decade and in partnership with the Child, Adolescent and Family Branch/SAMHSA, the RI Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) has built a sophisticated system of care for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED). The DCYF, the RI Department of Education and school departments statewide are committing to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as an approach to improving school climate and supports for all students. We propose to: build a shared infrastructure to support collaboration between RICASSP and PBIS; increase access to RICASSP wraparound planning and supports; Identify and develop additional supports and services using evidence based practices; infuse CASSP values, especially cultural competence and child and family voice into the structure and approach of child educational programming; and improve the behavioral health and educational outcomes for all children. We anticipate that an additional 700 children with SED will benefit from services and infrastructure developed through this grant. By creating and integrating this new and shared RICASSP/PBIS infrastructure, we will be able to serve all children better and to offer the preventative and early interventions that the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health called for.

DBH will continue to collect and report on the established URS tables, while developing mechanisms to collect remaining URS Developmental/Optional Measures, which include the NOMs. We also will continue our work to establish a Behavioral Healthcare Data System. Additionally, DBH plans to use additional DIG funding to develop a more comprehensive and interactive method of information dissemination. The Data Infrastructure Grant for quality improvement provides an important opportunity to assess the integrity of our current data collection systems; enhance ongoing efforts to meet emerging needs; and strengthen collaborative efforts with stakeholders and other governmental entities.

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.
Rhode Island's program is a broad public/private initiative designed to enhance infrastructure and will be aimed at preventing the onset and reducing the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking. Particular attention will be directed toward eighth graders, underage drinking and ethnic minorities.
