The State of Arizona plans to extend its existing behavioral health system co-occurring infrastructure to the State's adult and juvenile criminal justice systems. The intention is to build the workforce, clinical, and information infrastructure necessary to ensure that all individuals who come in contact with the criminal justice system are provided with a consistent and comprehensive approach to the detection, assessment, and treatment of co-occurring disorders in a culturally competent manner that is inclusive of evidence-based practices. Their four key objectives are: 1) local and state criminal justice systems will implement a uniform process for ensuring that individuals within their custody are screened for the presence of mental illnesses and substance use disorders; 2) individuals exiting the correctional systems who have been positively screened will be appropriately diagnosed; 3) informational systems will be integrated to foster the flow of clinically relevant information among and between criminal justice and behavioral health treatment systems and settings; and 4) workforce development initiatives will be targeted to criminal justice and behavioral health service professionals. To evaluate the viability of this approach, a quasi-experimental pilot demonstration study will be undertaken that incorporates pre-release screening, assessment, and transition planning for inmates of the state correctional system, and co-occurring and culturally competent post-release services, including housing supports, intensive case management, and outpatient treatment services.

The Tapestry Project will support immediate and sustainable interventions to improve the wellbeing of young children in the South Mountain community in Phoenix by enhancing access to mental health and wellness services, promoting developmental screenings across a range of settings, coordinating integration of behavioral health with primary care, improving parenting skills of families with young children, and fostering early childhood social and emotional development. Individual, family and community conditions in the South Mountain community, including economic and family instability, incarceration, involvement with Child Protective Services, patterns of antisocial behavior and criminality, and educational deficits, put children at extreme risk.
We propose implementation of five evidenced-based programs at the local level: Incredible Years, Parents as Teachers, Strengthening Multi-Ethnic Families and Communities, Parenting Wisely and Healthy Steps. These curricula were selected because of their developmental appropriateness, their demonstrated cultural competence, and their research recognition for successfully addressing the identified risk and protective factors.
With Project LAUNCH grant funds, Arizona will maximize partnerships recently established between state, city, and county agencies focused on youth development, positive family outcomes, and crime prevention. The families and children in the area will benefit from the additional application of resources that support early childhood development and by addressing the roots that lead to juvenile and adult criminal activity and incarceration.

The Arizona Vision, which identifies meaningful behavioral health service outcomes for eligible children and their families, is built on a set of Principles, based on the Child and Adolescent Service System Program (CASSP) and the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) core system of care values, to which Arizona child serving agencies are committed. The Arizona Vision and Principles, in turn, are contractual obligations established by ADHS, implemented largely through the Tribal and the Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (T/RBHAs) and their child and family-serving providers.

The Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona, a Federally-Recognized Tribe, proposes to build and sustain a culturally competent and family-focused system of care for its youth with social and emotional behavioral disturbances (SEBD) and their families.
The Sewa Uusim system of care will utilize a wraparound service methodology that incorporates community members as caregivers and family members as advisors. The potential for sustainability of the Sewa Uusim system of care is very high due to the fact that the Pascua Yaqui Tribe is contracted by the State of Arizona as a Tribal Regional Behavioral Health Authority (TRBHA), which is a Medicaid region.
Sewa Uusim will address 25 objectives as it works to fulfill six goals over the six-year period of the cooperative agreement:
Goal I Tribal System Capacity - Develop a sustainable tribal system of care for children with SEBD and their families that is culturally-based, as well as consistent with evidence-based practices.
Goal 2 Service Development and Enhancement - Develop/sustain an array of treatment, support and prevention services that are community-based and family-focused to help youth with SEBD and their families achieve wellness.
Goal 3 Wraparound Methodology - Utilize a wraparound service methodology to provide integrated and culturally appropriate case management for youth with SEBD and their families based on an individualized service plan.
Goal 4 Yaqui Cultural Incorporation - Infuse the system of care with traditional and contemporary Pascua Yaqui spirituality, customs and beliefs in order to increase service utilization and enhance program effectiveness.
Goal 5 Family Involvement - Genuinely involve families in development and oversight of the system of care, as well as in all aspects of service delivery, to reinforce family involvement and guidance as traditional health and wellness values.
Goal 6 Evaluation - Conduct collaborative and continuous process and outcome evaluation of the system of care in

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.
In Arizona, the Arizona Governor's Office for Children, Youth and Families, in partnership with other state agencies, including the Department of Health Services, will develop a comprehensive, integrated statewide substance abuse Arizona Strategic Prevention Framework resulting in data-driven, community-based prevention activities for Arizona's highest risk youth and families.

Goals will be accomplished by incorporating SAMHSA' s S PF with the local planning and service delivery process. Project will provide gender-sensitive and culturally appropriate SA, HIV and HCV prevention services to persons of color during the five-year grant period.
The objectives of the project are five-fold: First, through a community based workgroup of stakeholders, develop and implement a community needs assessment; Second, mobilize and build capacity to address SA, HIV and HCV prevention needs within the Phoenix-Mesa, AZ MSA among a diverse group of communities of color; Third, develop a comprehensive strategic plan based on information of the community needs assessment that articulates the vision of the Phoenix-Mesa community; Fourth, develop and implement evidence-based prevention program and infrastructure development activities in accordance with the strategic plan; and Fifth, monitor process, evaluate effectiveness, sustain effective programs and activities, and improve or replace those activities that fail.
Achievement of these goals will enhance the likelihood of preventing and reducing the onset of SA, and transmission of HIV and HCV among African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, and minority reentry populations disproportionately affected by substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, &/or HCV.

Under Governor Janet Napolitano's leadership, the State of Arizona proposes to develop and implement a cost-effective treatment and recovery support services voucher system for individuals with methamphetamine-related substance use disorders who are involved in one of the seven participating county-based Adult Drug Courts and two tribal communities. The project will be implemented collaboratively by the Governor's Office for Children, Youth, and Families-Division for Substance Abuse Policy and the Arizona Administration of the Courts. The project will signficantly expand entrance into a comprehensive, cost-effective array of clinical assessment options for Adult Drug Court-involved clients over the next three years, as well as provide clinical treatment and recovery support services to methamphetamine users specifically. The ATR initiative will work to reduce the overall prevalence of methamphetamine use and associated economic costs to public health and safety in Arizona by addressing the interacting cycles of methamphetamine use and resulting criminogenic behavior. Three primary objectives include: developing and implementing a voucher-driven process for methamphetamine users that offers choice of providers; creating a broad network of eligible treatmetn and RSS providers for adult drug court-involved meth. users including FBOs; and establishing a process of public accountability and sustainability within the Adult Drug Court voucher system that accurately tracks client outcomes in relaiton to funds expended and seamlessly integrates with the State's regional behavioral health authorities.

The Tohono O'odham Nation, a federally recognized Tribe is submitting a proposal as a facilitating organization for an RCSP to be established in the Nation. The project will implement a comprehensive peer-to-peer system to support individuals in recovery with a full range of recovery support services provided locally in the 11 districts that make up the Tohono O'Odham Nation. The need for the program is dramatic, as the Nation has one of the highest rates of substance abuse among all populations in the U.S., and is just beginning a holistic approach to addressing the issue. After completing a needs assessment, gaps in programs and services to address the needs of individuals who are seeking or are in recovery were identified. This project is designed to address those needs. The project will engage at least 44 community members in recovery (4 individuals from each of the 11 districts of the Nation), to serve as peer mentors for recovery services identified by local communities. Each peer mentor will provide peer-to-peer support services for at least three individuals each year, for a total of 528 individuals over the four-year project. Each trained community member will also facilitate at least one recovery support service each year, so that services of choice will be available for all 83 villages of the Nation by the end of the project. The trained Peer Mentors and implementation or expansion of peer-to-peer recovery services will enable the Nation to re-establish culturally appropriate individual and community means to support those in recovery or seeking recovery, and offer support to their family members.

Pima Prevention Partnership (PPP), a non-profit, youth and family services agency, based in Tucson, Arizona, is seeking funds to conduct substance abuse treatment and recovery support with 200 adolescents (who have been assessed to need treatment) and their families. The project will use three evidence-based, family focused treatment and support models (Assertive Community Reinforcement Approach, Functional Family Therapy, and Assertive Continuing Care). The anticipated treatment outcomes of this project include maintained abstinence from drugs/alcohol, improved family functioning, and improved connection to community resources. The Family Paths project will achieve these results in collaboration with six project partners: Pima Partnership High School, Pima County Teen Court, three local Weed and Seed sites (Kino Coalition, 29th Street Coalition, and Westside Coalition), and Ha:Sañ Preparatory & Leadership School. The Family Paths project partners have identified that more than 400 youths, over the three year funding period, will be eligible for a substance abuse screening assessment using the Global Asssessment of Individual Need - Quick Screen tool along with a parent interview. This projection is based on the current numbers of youths who have been identified by each partner through school and agency records and from state-sponsored surveys of the targeted population. Of the 400 youths screened, 200 youth (50 in Year One, 75 in Year Two, and 75 in Year Three) will enroll in the Family Paths project.

CARF proposes to continue to 1) publish and maintain accreditation standards of quality; 2) recruit, train and retain a cadre of experienced surveyors; 3) conduct on-site accreditation surveys of OTPs to determine conformance to CARF standards and to provide consultation; and 4) provide technical assistance, and regional training on standards and the accreditation process. CARF has extensive experience in the accreditation of OTPs and other behavioral health programs. Specifically, CARF has the infrastructure needed for such accreditation, as well as a proven track record, as demonstrated in the accreditation of the OTPs involved in the previous grant cycles.
