The Longview Wellness Center Wellsprings Program will develop community based service delivery systems and infrastructure for the Longview-Marshall MSA. This project will work through area organizations to reach people over 60 at risk for mental illness; improve the current infrastructure and coordination of care between physicians and mental health practitioners; and implement a fully integrated treatment program through a primary health care clinic. Wellsprings has three main components: 1) provide awareness and education to the community on mental health issues and the impact on physical health; 2) increase the utilization of available mental health services by primary care practitioners; 3) stabilize the existing mental health delivery system while creating infrastructure that integrates primary health care services and mental health into a single entity. This project will work through area organizations to reach people over 60, and implement a fully integrated treatment program, based on best practices, through the Longview Wellness Center's Community Health Clinic. By using a specific three-pronged approach that is patient driven, practitioner driven and community driven, the system will be seamless to facilitate a smooth transition between services. Wellsprings will use several evidence-based model programs including Gatekeepers Case Finding and Response System to recruit participants, and the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) for medication guidelines to treat Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder and Major Depression. For clients with the diagnosed disorders of: borderline personality, eating disorders, panic disorder, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias of late life, major depression, schizophrenia, suicidal behaviors, acute stress, and posttraumatic stress, Wellsprings will use the American Psychiatric Association guidelines.

Children's Voices, Family Choices, Community Solutions: Building Blocks for Healthy Families (Community Solutions) will create an accessible, culturally competent and seamless, child and family driven system of care for families impacted by severe emotional disturbance in Fort Worth. The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department will act as the lead agency, partnering with the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) and the member agencies and individuals of the Mental Health Connection of Tarrant County. It is anticipated that a total of 440 children will be served in the six-year period, and ramifications of the changes created through this project will be felt across the mental health community for years to come
The development of a system of care will be initiated through the Family Resource Centers housed on FWISD campuses.

An Education Specialist, funded through the FWISD, will serve as site coordinator for each center and will screen referrals and identify those children and families to be served. One Intensive Care Manager will coordinate all services for the child and family. A network of community-based services will be accessed through a voucher system.
Family involvement will be a key component in the system of care reform, both on an individual family level and on a system level. Family members comprise 50% of the membership of the Governance Body, including key leadership positions. Family members will be a central part of the child and family teams. Significant attention will be given to the development of culturally competent approaches for serving children and their families, within the project and within the community.

This project seeks to dramatically increase awareness among students, families, faculty and staff of the risk of suicide among students. It will train significant numbers of students, faculty and staff to question suicidal individuals, persuade them to accept help and refer them to appropriate resources. It will also train professionals who evaluate and treat potentially suicidal persons in suicide risk detection, risk assessment and risk management. The ultimate goal of this project is to create a network of gatekeepers who have the ability to detect risk and refer students whereever and when ever they find themselves in crisis. This project will utilize a tiered approach to: raise awareness among entering freshmen and their families; train gatekeepers to identify and refer students at risk; and mandate therapy for students identified as severely at risk or in imminent danger of harm to self or others. This tiered approach will allow a significant allocation of resources to raise awareness and a directed approach to provide intensive assistance to those most in need.

Conference attendees will include health and human service professionals, educators, parents, and caregivers of individuals who have fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and criminal justice workers. The conference will raise awareness about the human and economic loss caused by alcohol-exposed pregnancies and FASD, improve the knowledge and skills of professionals who serve women and children at risk, and reduce the incidence of AEP in Texas. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn vital information about how to identify women at risk for AEP, the importance of using a strengths-based client-centered approach to interventions, the costs and prevalence associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, characteristics used to identify a person with FASD, and how misclassification of FASD can affect intervention plans and outcomes.

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.
The Texas Strategic Prevention Framework will strengthen the prevention infrastructure to develop and coordinate a statewide strategy to prevent substance abuse and related problem behaviors by building on the existing infrastructure of the Drug Demand Reduction Advisory Committee.

Mi Vida Nueva (My New Life) was strategically developed to address an array of activities in building a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective substance abuse prevention and related services. Specifically, this project is a compendium of community-level domestic public and private non-profit entities collaborating in this project to prevent and reduce the onset of substance abuse and transmission of HIV and hepatitis among a traditionally Latino population reporting a high reentry rate in Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas. This area is comprised of Hidalgo, Willacy and Cameron Counties. Valley AIDS Council is the lead agency and has effectively administered multiple state and federal awards. The target populations for this project are Latinos, primarily Mexicans and Mexican Americans who are vulnerable to risk factors associated with substance abuse, HIV and hepatitis. This project will work with a primary target population to address adults who are at immediate risk due to risks associated with substance abuse; there are three tiers of target population:
1. Primary: Minority reentry populations, specifically Latinos, comprising of persons released from prison/jail within the past 90-days;
2. Secondary: People of color, specifically Latinos, at-risk for HIV, hepatitis and substance abuse in the target area according to the following compendium:
o Men Who Have Sex With Men
o Intravenous Drug Users and Persons Having Sex With Intravenous Drug Users
o People Who Are At-Risk Due to Substance Abuse and Sex Networks; including People Who Trade Sex for Drugs
3. Tertiary: Family members and significant others of the primary and secondary populations.
The purpose of Mi Vida Nueva is building a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective substance abuse prevention and related services. Specifically, the proposed project's purpose aims to formally develop a culturally tailored compendium.

It is evident that the spread (including new cases) of HIV in the United States is disproportionately high among minorities. Similarly, the substance-abuse associated AIDS cases in the African-American communities are a growing national concern. Central to the planning project of Motherland, Inc. is its commitment to reduce the incidence of substance abuse and HIV/STD infection among minorities. The focus on youth, especially within the African-American population residents in identified high-risk neighborhoods of Greater Houston Area and Harris County underscore the urgency and importance placed on information, knowledge and safer sex negotiating skills. Using drama therapy, Motherland, Inc. plans specifically to target minority youth in safe houses which encourage youth to seek help and guidance in an environment that is unthreatening and fosters self-confidence and individual initiative. It also will concentrate on juvenile probation centers where the prevention interventions provided by Motherland, Inc. can be intensive and tailored to address ongoing and identifiable risk behaviors.
The ultimate outcome is risk reduction practices and prevention measures that lead to heightened awareness, personal responsibility, and behavior changes. Youth from communities of color in the Greater Houston Area and Harris County are at high risk of both substance abuse and HIV/AIDS based on their propensity to engage in high-risk behaviors. In the target populations, individual, family, peer, community, school, and community risk factors are frequently not counterbalanced by adequate protective factors. Motherland, Inc. will develop, implement, and evaluate a series of community-based drama performances that address deep issues surrounding motivators and consequences of high-risk behaviors with respect to substance abuse and sexual behaviors.

Drug Prevention Resources, Inc. and the Community Prevention and Intervention Unit at University of Texas at Southwestern Medial Center - one of the country's leading medical and research facilities - propose to offer an integrated substance abuse and HIV intervention program for African-American and Hispanic youth in the Dallas County juvenile justice system. We have chosen two residential facilities as potential sites for the program - the Dallas County Youth Academy and the Youth Village. With its expert and population-appropriate staff, the program, Choices, will work with the community as well as the target population to determine the most appropriate curriculums in order to bolster protective factors and reverse emerging risk factors.
Choices' staff will be guided by the CSAP publication, Prevention Works! A Practitioner's Guide to Achieving Outcomes. The guide provides a logical and appropriate framework for achieving prevention outcomes. The process will include the following important steps:
· Assessing needs, underlying conditions, and assets;
· Recruiting members of a Strategic Advisory Board to guide programmatic decision-making;
· Building organizational capacity to support the program
· Hiring and training culturally appropriate staff;
· Selecting the best-fit science-based programs;
· Planning for the implementation of the program;
· Delivering the integrated substance abuse and HIV prevention program; and
· Evaluating program outcomes along the way
Staff will work with an accomplished evaluation team to assist them with selection, evaluation, and integration of the two distinct program areas into one seamless program for the youth. Upon conclusion of the grand, staff anticipates receiving funding from other sources to continue to provide similar services to the target population in the juvenile justice system in Dallas County as well as other counties across Texas.

The Coastal Bend AIDS Foundation (CBAF) is a private non-profit community-based organization providing HIV prevention and support services for over 15 years. The Coastal Ben Area of Texas is comprised of 19 counties along and around the Gulf of Mexico in South Texas. Nueces County is on the Gulf of Mexico southeast of San Antonio. The county seat and largest city is Corpus Christi. The local economy is diversified through industries that include petrochemical, tourism, healthcare, retail, education, shipping, and agriculture. The median household income is less than $24,000.
The goal of the RFA is to increase access to SAP and HIVP programs in areas with hard to reach populations and high incidence rates of substance abuse and HIV infection, such as rural communities, by increasing both the number of and quality prevention programs in traditionally under-served areas. The proposed project is the catalyst for integrated HIV and substance abuse prevention efforts within the targeted area. This area includes one county (Nueces) that makes up a Metropolitan Statistical Area and three rural counties (Jim Wells, Kleberg, and San Patricio). Additionally, there are an increasing number of colonias as described in Section A. These areas are traditionally found closer to the Texas Mexico border, but with the increase in security and surveillance, these immigrant colonies have begun to locate further North into the Coastal Bend areas. This type of community is difficult to reach and difficult to penetrate to provide quality prevention services. By utilizing a model where peers or promotoras (community health workers) to deliver the prevention message, these areas can be reached thereby enhancing the services provided.
The project is designed to be fully sustaining at the end of the five-year grant. CBAF proposes to provide the described services for five years and is requesting approximately $350,000 annually for the five-year period.

The Alliance's aim is to foster a community that embraces and supports the recovery process as a positive journey by promoting the healthy integration of productive, contributing and respected citizens into society through a peer service system. The Alliance was a member of the original cohort of RCSP grantees in 1998, and then again in 2001. The Recovery Alliance, is utilizing tools developed prior to 2004 to deliver peer recovery support services today. To improve existing services and support development of new ones, the Alliance's peer recruiting and retention system must be re-energized. Recovery Alliance Peer Support Services will build an enduring recovery community organization of peers in service to their fellows and will expand services to at least 115 persons per year not currently served. The benefits to people in recovery providing services are remarkable and long lasting. It is the Alliance's intention to carry forward a plan of community recovery support that is wrapped around the person in recovery, their families and friends and which celebrates the authentic voice of the recovery community. The recovery community is the driving force that moves the project forward.

Aliviane is proposing to strengthen reentry services to sentenced juvenile offenders ages 14 to 18 who are under the jurisdiction of the Texas Juvenile Justice System, and who have been incarcerated by the El Paso County Juvenile Probation Department in Boot Camps. These services are intended to reduce recidivism (recontacts) and improve outcomes for incarcerated youth as they transition back into the community.
The target population is 90 juvenile offenders with substance abuse disorders who are sentenced to a secure boot camp in El Paso or Hondo Texas, where they receive incarcerated residential treatment. Primary drug problems are marijuana, alcohol, inhalants, and cocaine. This juvenile offender population is 85% male, and 84% Hispanic. These juveniles will receive reentry services through the proposed Renacer Project as they transition back into the community. Renacer is proposing to strengthen reentry services through collaboration and by using research-based protocols, including the assessment instrument GAIN; providing assertive case management using the ACC (The Assertive Continuing Care Protocol), developed by Chestnut Health Systems for adolescents with serious substance abuse problems after they are discharged from a residential treatment program; and providing intensive outpatient services using the Chestnut Health System model, which include family therapy and education.

The purpose of the Reasons to Change project is to improve short, middle, and long-term treatment outcomes for adolescents with complex substance abuse and mental health problems in the Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Researchers and providers continue to recommend residential treatment for those adolescents with whose complex behaviors have proven resistant to intervention in other settings. Nevertheless, traditional models of residential treatment have not sought to incorporate evidence- based practices into the milieu or overarching framework at the core of most residential programs. Moreover, residential treatment separates adolescents from their families even though some of the most promising adolescent treatment interventions are family-focused. Finally, while adolescents enrolled in residential treatment exhibit greater initial improvements than adolescents in outpatient programs, residential treatment completers also tend to relapse at a higher rate after discharge from treatment. With this paradoxical situation in mind, the Reasons to Change project has the following goals: (1) improve short-term treatment outcomes for adolescents with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders by providing family-centered ACRA in an adolescent residential treatment setting equipped for co-occurring disorders; (2) improve middle-term treatment outcomes by using home-based ACC to help adolescents with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders and co-occurring mental health issues establish social networks, coping mechanisms, and opportunities for healthier lifestyles after discharge from residential treatment; (3) improve long-term treatment outcomes by equipping the existing "Winner's Circle" Teen Support Network with ACRA-compatible resources for sustaining the gains made in residential treatment; and (4) improve long-term treatment outcomes for adolescents with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders.

Low self-concept is an important and unaddressed factor in sexual risk and substance use among African-American adolescents. Project REAL will deliver services to adolescents that provide positive reinforcement that counter self-concept deficiencies. Parental counter-messages of African- American pride and strong group identity can help adolescents shape a positive self concept in spite of these experiences, but many adolescents have lost access to the family and kinship networks that have traditionally provided these positive messages. The Project will provide interventions to 340 annually.The goals of Project RESPECT are to (1) expand treatment, HIV prevention, and continuing care for African-American adolescents and sustain that expansion beyond the end of Project REAL; (2 enhance treatment and HIV prevention services for subpopulations of African-American adolescents who are at increased risk for acquiring and/or transmitting HIV; and (3) enhance medical and psychological continuity of care for African-American adolescents in substance abuse treatment.
