The purpose of the Isis Project is to improve the mental and physical health of African American women in the District of Columbia who are HIV positive. The project will both increase the accessibility of the needed services and provide an array of culturally competent, gender specific, HIV-informed mental health services. The project's target population includes three groups: HIV-positive women who have severe mental disorders; HIV-positive women whose mental health status has not been evaluated or who do not have a DSM-IV diagnosis and; those individuals who are part of these women's natural networks. Two of the program's primary goals are to identify mental health concerns among African American women and providers; and to provide a full range of community supports through a newly developed Wellness Intensive Case Management team.

The District of Columbia needs to engage in a comprehensive data cleaning that will serve to enhance quality and accuracy of data reporting. Specific areas of focus include missing data and addressing definitional matching from reporting entities. Additionally, a need exists to provide appropriate training and use of data for reporting entities. A major undertaking, as well, will include inventory of independent databases, documenting contents, and preparing them for linking of information systems across the mental health system. There will be continued exploration of additional reporting of evidence based practices.

The principal aim of the American Psychological Association Minority Fellowship Program (APA-MFP) in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is to identify, select, and support the training of 24 doctoral level ethnic minority students and 1 postdoctoral trainee whose prior experiences and clearly stated career goals suggest they will make significant contributions to the mental health and substance abuse services needs of ethnic and racial minorities. The APA-MFP has two target populations at the center of its efforts: the members of ethnic and racial minorities in need of mental health and substance abuse services and ethnic minority doctoral students in psychology. The MFP selects individuals with promise and a commitment to careers that address mental health and substance abuse service needs of ethnic minorities. The program is designed to meet its goals and specific aims by providing stipend support, ancillary training experiences, mentoring and career guidance, and access to an outstanding network of professional contacts. An expert advisory committee provides oversight and program guidance as well as mentoring and professional leadership. The program works collaboratively with leading doctoral degree granting training institutions in psychology as well as organizations and programs that provide specialized training in substance abuse services and cultural competence. As a result, the MFP provides significant training experiences to its Fellows.

The National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health in the Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development was established in 1984. NTAC was established to strengthen the capacity of states, territories, tribes and communites to transform their mental health systems to meet the diverse and complex needs of children and adolescents with or at risk for serious emotional disturbances and their families. Using the blueprint for transforming mental health provided by the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, NTAC will respond to the needs of states, with a specific focus on state mental health agencies, partner child-serving agencies, statewide family organizations, and youth leaders. Individualized coaching to states and territories will focus on the following priority areas: strengthen capacity for system transformation; state planning, policy development and financing; improving systems of care and service delivery and incorporating evidence-based /promising practices; early intervention and early childhood mental health services; reducing disparities and improving cultural/linguistic competence; integrating services across child-serving systems and serving vulnerable populations; workforce and leadership development; and data management, accountability, and technology.

The District of Columbia (DC) Access to Recovery program plans to provide culturally-sensitive substance abuse treatment and recovery support services (RSS) over the three-year federal grant period. The key target population is the estimated 20,000 substance abusers who annually exit jail or prison and return to the District's streets. Three additional special populations will be targeted over the life of the grant: women, women with dependent children, and methamphetamine users. The ATR voucher program will provide a unique and valuable compliment ot the District's existing voucher program that currently provides client choice among substance abuse clinical treatment services only. These two concurrent voucher programs will provide CSAT with superior data to demonstrate the efficacy of adding recovery support services to a clinical treatmetn services continuum. The District plans to establish a special Voucher Program Office (VPO) that will be responsible for ensuring that the ATR Voucher program achieves its projected target number of cleints served through aggressive outreach to the community, education of eligible and potential providers, and collaboration with federal and local agencies that now manage many of the persons who are returning to the community after being incarcerated. The VPO will also vigilantly ensure non-supplantation of program funds and oversee performance measurement.
