The Florida ASAP (Adolescent Suicide Awareness and Prevention) Project will enhance the State's capacity to reach its 2010 goal of reducing the rate of suicide in youths between the ages of 10 and 24. The ASAP Project will be implemented in Duval County (DC), a large county with a youth suicide rate higher than the national average. Agencies in this community will build upon existing state and community evidence-based and culturally competent youth suicide prevention efforts and partnerships. The ASAP Project will enhance a community infrastructure where suicide prevention is a targeted activity of the community's Children's Mental Health Task Force, a working collaboration of over 35 state, pubic and private organizations. The targeted result will be a more comprehensive delivery of suicide prevention services. The ASAP Project will expand capacity with the following activities: Training gatekeepers (train the trainers model) in an evidence-based gatekeeper training model (QPR, Question, Persuade, Refer); Screening youths using a proven suicide prevention program (Signs of Suicide); Launching a social marketing campaign that directly targets the gatekeeper, parent/caregiver and youth populations of DC; Expanding current parent involvement activities (such as implementing a Parent Suicide Prevention Advisory and Outreach Council); and Utilizing existing crisis support services (e.g. United Way 2-1-1). In addition, DC's Children's Mental Health Task Force has created strong community partnerships to ensure that identified youths are not "lost in the system". Youth identified within the participating referral network will receive a case manager, and will immediately receive a suicide assessment and be referred for treatment. There are seven distinct service sectors within the participating referral network: education, law enforcement/juvenile justice, child welfare, substance abuse, public health, mental health providers, and the faith-based community.

The Sarasota Early Childhood Mental Health Partnership will improve and increase mental health and non-mental health services and supports provided for infants and very young children consistent with system-of-care principles and best practices. Over the six year funding period, the project will link the existing elements of the children's mental health system with those of the early childhood system to [1] create an early childhood mental health system of care; [2] expand key services needed to improve the behavioral health of these children; and [3] deliver comprehensive training and technical assistance to ensure cross-training of system-of-care staff from the two systems. The infrastructure needed to support the newly created system of care will be built by bringing together child-serving agencies, organizations, professionals, families of children with emotional disturbance, and others with an interest in the funding and delivery of services to children with serious emotional disturbance in a cooperative effort to improve and increase mental health services and supports for children and their families. A structured outreach and referral mechanism will be developed to ensure appropriate access to services, with particular emphasis being placed on reaching those populations, which have been underserved or inappropriately served in the past, such as ethnically, and racially diverse children and children living in rural areas of the county. Children meeting the criteria for services will be enrolled and offered the services of a parent advocate to assist them in selecting a care coordinator, service providers, and others as members of theft child/family team. Between 400 and 500 children and their families will be served over the six-year project period.

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 Florida Strategic Prevention Alliance will complete the development of integrated state and community-level strategic processes. Both levels will be supported with the assistance of epidemiology, community readiness, resource assessment, strategic planning and organizational development resources for evidence-based programming, and a web-based performance data system that tracks both coalition and program activities.

NIDA's Community-Based Outreach Model, an evidence-based design to facilitate behavior changes needed to reduce transmission risks of HIV, Hepatitis and other communicable diseases will be used.
The target population for Prevention on the Move includes African American residents in the general and reentry population in the Metropolitan Statistical Area of Daytona Beach Florida. The geographic region represents both the highest prevalence of HIV / AIDS in county and the largest concentration of African American's. Within this population in the geographic area, this project will target injection drug users, men who have sex with men, commercial sex workers, heterosexuals, bi-sexuals, former inmates, abusers of alcohol and other substances, and homeless individuals. Prevention on the Move will reduce the incidence of infection of HIV, Hepatitis, and other communicable diseases caused by, or developed in conjunction with substance abuse by bringing the services and linkages to care to the community where the clients live, work and socialize. Since drug abuse is usually a covert activity, drug users and their sex partners rarely access services through traditional health and social service agencies. Indigenous outreach workers who are familiar with the drug use subcultures and local neighborhoods in their communities have been shown to be particularly effective agents of behavior change. Peer outreach workers will be utilized as part of the prevention strategy, to serve as opinion leaders and educate and influence their peers to reduce their risks for HIV, Hepatitis, and other communicable diseases in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The Mid-Florida Center for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, Inc., a certified minority 501(c) 3 not for profit behavioral health organization seeks funding to establish a partnership with the local Departments of Health, and community-based and faith-based organizations to provide effective prevention programs in communities of color within DCF#14, Florida. The target area includes Polk, Highlands and Hardee counties, an area of central Florida, halfway between Tampa and Orlando, containing a number of communities of color (African-American and Hispanic). Specific areas with prominent communities of color in these counties include: Polk -Cities of Lake land, Winter Haven, Auburndale and Bartow, and rural areas of Frostproof and Fort Meade Highlands -south-side Avon Park, Washington Heights in Sebring, Highway Park and Sambo's Migrant Camp in Lake Placid Hardee -Zolfo Springs and Wauchula.
Within the target communities, culturally sensitive and competent substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis prevention programming is very limited or altogether non-existent. In most instances, prevention services are not accessible to communities of color. This is especially the case in overlooked and highly neglected rural and semi-rural areas of Florida, which is the definition of the proposed target communities.
More specifically, the Mid-Florida Center will partner with the Department of Health's Regional Minority Office in Tampa, three local Health Departments in Polk, Highlands, and Hardee Counties, CUSH (Churches United to Stop the Spread of HIV), Refugee Church of Our Lord, Central Florida Health Care, local circuits of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice Florida Department of Correction. This partnership will become the Steering Committee for proposed prevention programming and will direct the required activities to supplement the Area 5, 6 & 14 Community Partnership Plan (Needs Assessment Section).

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), a public, non-profit school district, in Miami, FL. 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.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) proposes the Promoting Our Students' Success through Informed Behavior, Learning and Self-Efficacy (POSSIBLE) Project.
Project POSSIBLE will operate within a geographically underserved, urban area of Miami-Dade County. Within the Feeder Pattern, the race and ethnicity of students is as follows; 74% Black, 24% Hispanic, 1 % White, and 1 % Other. The zip code where the majority of Miami Central Senior High School students reside (33147) is ranked #1 in the county for juvenile offenses.
According to the Miami-Dade County Health Department, Office of HIV/AIDS since 1980, Miami-Dade has reported 27,047 adult AIDS cases and since July 1997, 9,577 cumulative adult HIV cases have been reported (Miami- Dade County Health Department, Neighborhood Profiles, 2004). This zone represents 9% of the county's total population but over 20% of the reported AIDS cases and over 18% of the reported HIV cases. While the rate of ATOD incidents was about half the state rate, Miami Central's rate at 6.37 per 1,000 students was more than double the county's rate for all high schools (Florida DOE, 2005).
The evaluation plan will provide both process and outcome measures, with both qualitative and quantitative data.

Broward's Collaboration to Reduce Use of Substances, HIV/AIDS, and Hepatitis has carefully considered the cultural make-up of the community, identified a realistic project target population based on the funder's objectives, corroborated by community needs assessments and focus group results. Using countywide analyses and reports Broward CRUSHH is able to adequately assess the magnitude of substance use/abuse, HIV, and hepatitis in the catchment area. Extensive planning occurred, engaging stakeholders, policy makers, funders, consumers and included consultation with evaluators throughout the application development process. As a result, Broward CRUSHH has adopted a four-prong prevention approach, focusing on outreach, training and technical assistance, cultural diversity, and prevention. As the first step in the development of Broward's Strategic Community Framework, a workgroup of providers, stakeholders, and policy makers, advocates and funders will convene.
The strategic planning framework (SPF) for implementing culturally appropriate services to the target population will be based on documented needs; evidence-based practice for minority and reentry populations; resources/strengths of the community; measurable objectives; baseline data, and; enhancing hepatitis screening and linkages to services that provide immunizations for hep A and/or B.

The Florida Certification Board (FCB) and its university partner, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, are seeking funding for the continuation of the Southern Coast Addiction Technology Transfer Center that serves Florida, Alabama and Mississippi to further their work in advancing and implementing improved, state-of-the-art treatment and recovery practices. The primary purposes for the SCATTC are: to forge/maintain partnerships in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida; to enhance the knowledge and expertise of front-line addictions counselors and their supervisors in evidence-based, culturally-responsive treatment/recovery practices; to develop or revise treatment curricula, training materials and other products; to develop leadership competencies among practitioners; to be facilitators of change initiatives that support a recovery-oriented system of care; to use innovative technology transfer methods; to be an active participant in national ATTC Network activities; and, to contribute to a state-of-the-art national ATTC website. In particular, the SCATTC will focus significant effort toward meeting the needs of front-line addiction counselors and their supervisors, with some effort focused on developing competencies of recovery support specialists.

This project proposes the use of SBIRT funds to implement an intervention program for older adults at risk for substance abuse, create new partnerships with primary care service providers, and address current systemic and policy practices that create barriers for older adults in need of substance abuse treatment. Florida ranks fourth in total population in the United States in addition to leading the nation in median age, with more than 3.5 million residents aged 60 and older. The rate of penetration for publicly-funded substance abuse services by older adults in this age group is less than 2% of all adults served each year. Minorities and underserved populations (e.g., Medicaid eligible individuals) represent a very small proportion of older adults served. The State of Florida Substance Abuse Program Office is committed to improving the identification of older adults with substance abuse problems through this project. To implement the services outlined above, Florida plans to use SBIRT funds to promote the following: 1) Florida will enhance and expand an innovative evidence-based pilot project (Brief Intervention and Treatment for the Elders-BRITE project) currently providing outreach services in four sub- state regions allowing Florida to add four additional sub-state regions as well as migrating the pilot projects into full implementation. 2) Florida will partner with primary care and emergency care physicians who come into regular contact with older adults at-risk or in need of substance abuse services. Older adults will be screened in "non-traditional" sites such as primary and emergency health care settings, public health clinics, and senior nutrition programs. 3) Florida will appoint a Systems and Policy Steering Committee that will work to identify systemic and policy impediments to treatment for older adults.

Florida's Department of Children and Families Substance Abuse Program Office (SAPO), in collaboration with the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association, four provider networks, and six provider agencies, has developed a proposal to help address the state's challenges to the provision of outpatient treatment. A strong team with extensive management and quality improvement experience has been established to manage and support the success of the project and plans have also been established to ensure the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the process improvements implemented through the project. This group will work together to implement the NIATx process improvement model within the provider agencies and to track the impact of these improvements through monitoring specific state outcomes. This process would enhance provider abilities to continuously identify and reduce client barriers to accessing and remaining in treatment service as well as enhance state efforts to build an infrastructure that supports client access and evaluate/improve its services.

The drug court will expand through a partnership with Gateway Community Services. Treatment will last for a minimum of nine months in a three-phase approach. Over the course of the three year grant, it is expected that 168 adults will be served. It is a voluntary program with regular court appearances before the Judge and includes drug testing, individual/group counseling and regular attendance at 12-Step meetings. In addition, program participants will be assisted with obtaining education and skills assessments and will be provided referrals to vocational training, education and/or job placement services to build strength to combat relapse. The Jacksonville Adult Drug Court is based on the premise that arrest and court involvement can provide an important opportunity to involve offenders in substance abuse treatment, which can then reduce drug-related criminal behavior.

Funding is sought to address a critical community need for social and health services in Duval County, particularly the urban core that is plagued by health and social disparities, including poverty, crime, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, infant mortality and lack of prenatal care. RRHS will provide for the full continuum of treatment needs of substance abusing PPW, their minor children, as well as significant others and appropriate family members who are in the women's immediate support system, a Family Disease Model approach to treatment. Services include outreach to detoxification, SA residential-, outpatient-, and mental health treatment; case management; parenting with Triple-P; family strengthening and reunification; SA prevention (for children); aftercare; housing assistance; and community re-entry. Upon successful completion and graduation from residential treatment, women will be linked to stable housing. Family treatment plans will be developed and intensive case management will be provided to women, infants, and children, as well as significant others, and other family members. RRHS will link clients to the many social service and health providers in the area, seeking to avoid duplication of services and build upon the existing network of care.

The RIGHT project proposes three levels of services: 1) outreach, risk education reduction, and testing along with pre-and post test counseling for minorities recently released from jail or prison who are high risk for HIV; 2) connections to medical management for those who are HIV+; and 3) substance abuse treatment and intensive case management for those in the target population who are HIV+ and have a substance use disorder. Through expanded services of the RIGHT Project, the program expects to: 1) increase number of days participants live clean and sober; 2) slow the progression of HIV/AIDS through increasing HIV medical compliance and treatment outcomes; and 3) slow the increase in newly identified reports of HIV/AIDS in the minority re-entry population and their partners.

Through Gateway Connect, Gateway Community Services plans to expand and enhance substance abuse treatment through the use of technology to reduce barriers of distance, disabilities, and social stigma and provide treatment opportunities to those needing treatment but who do not have access to, or are reluctant to access, substance abuse treatment services. The three major goals of the project are: 1) Improve access to substance abuse treatment services. 2) Increase the availability of substance abuse services to people seeking services. 3). Connect people seeking treatment with Peer Led Recovery Support Services in their own community. Gateway Connect plans to achieve these goals through E-therapy (secure chat rooms, encrypted emails, secure instant messaging, Webinars and informational websites), telephone therapy and integrated therapy using internet, the phone and face to face. During the first year of services, Gateway Connect plans to provide E-therapy to 130 persons (41 0 over 3 years). During the second and third year the project plans to expand its impact to the rest of Florida through NCI Systems, a collaborative of six (6) highly regarded and accredited Centers for Behavioral Health care that have been actively growing and improving communities for more than 30 years in Florida.

This project seeks to improve the quality and intensity of the substance abuse continuum of services at Gateway Community Services in Jacksonville, Florida through an enhanced recovery-oriented system of care (LROSC). A LROSC supports person-centered and self-directed approaches to care that build on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families, and communities to take responsibility for their sustained health, wellness, and recovery from alcohol and drug problems. Gateway has been successful in integrating the 12 Steps into treatment in many ways including: First Step Camp, daily 12 Step meetings, connecting clients with sponsors, promoting the importance of the 12 Step recovery and a lifetime commitment to recovery and the principals of the 12 Steps. As successful as the 12 Steps are, there are other means of recovery. In addition, Gateway seeks to enhance its other choices for recovery to people served in treatment through the use of an Advisory Committee, Recovery Coaches, development of recovery plans, budgets to purchase recovery support services and reaching out to other community & faith-based recovery-focused services. This project will target people in and seeking recovery from illicit drug and alcohol abuse and prescription drug misuse.

In an effort to address alcohol, drug use and the co-occuring treatment needs of adolescents and their families in the Central Florida - Brevard County Area, The Center For Drug - Free Living, Inc. proposes to increase access to outpatient treatment through the expansion and enhancement of an existing outpatient treatment program. Project 321 will offer services to adolescents and their families/primary caregivers using the family centered ACRA model. Project 321 will add capacity to serve one-hundred and twenty (120) adolescents per year, (three-hundred and sixty [360] over the life of the grant). The project will target adolescent males and females between the ages of 12 and 18 with Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and those with SUD and co-occuring mental health disoders and their families. The initiative will target those who are at highest risk of substance abuse or dependence and who are experiencing problems associated with substance use including emotional, physical, legal, social familial or academic issues. The initiative will target adolescents and their families meeting the critieria for the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA). The Central Florida - Brevard County area, once a quite community known only for its attractions, beaches and tourists, has become one of the major hubs for illegal drug use and trafficking in the Nation. As a result, adolescent drug overdoses, juvenile crime, HIV/AIDS cases and drug related arrests are at alarmingly high rates. Because of the tremendous level of need and shortage of adolescent treatment programming, The Center For Drug - Free Living, Inc. is proposing Project 321 in order to expand and enhance services for adolescents with substance use disorders and their families.

HIV rapid testing will also be provided in an aggressive, but culturally sensitive manner. Hope and Help Center is partnering with the Turning Point of Central Florida who will provide comprehensive outpatient treatment, and Seminole Community Mental Health Center who will provide intensive residential treatment, particularly for those residents who have co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. Participants will be referred to the substance abuse treatment programs, through the outreach, pre-treatment and care management services provided by Hope and Help Center. Finally, the Health Council of East Central Florida will provide critical Quality Management and Evaluation components for this program. There are 666 individuals living in Seminole County (as of December 31, 2005) who are HIV-positive and aware of their HIV zero-status. More than 75% of these individuals reside in the two Sanford zip codes (32771 and 32773), the main target locations. Within Seminole County, there are an estimated 222 additional individuals who are positive but are currently unaware of their HIV positive status. Black/African American and Hispanic residents of Sanford are at the highest risk of HIV infection.

The Pinellas County Adult Drug Court identified a gap in treatment capacity for drug court cases involving female offenders that require more evidence-based practices and referral services to adequately address their needs. A Motivational Enhancement Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MET/CBT 12) treatment model is necessary to effectively respond to the increasing population of female offenders who are misusing and/or abusing prescription drugs. More women will be served in a gender-specific, culturally responsive model, the GAIN will be used to accurately identify co-occurring and trauma, MET/CBT will be used, screenings for prescription drug issues will be implemented, and a uniform drug court treatment and administrative protocols will be developed. This program is a partnership between the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court and two substance abuse treatment providers, along with a university-based research institute.

Operation PAR, Inc. will implement PAR Adolescent Recovery Intervention Services (PARIS), using Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) and Assertive Continuing Care (ACC), evidence-based approaches designed specifically for youth with substance abuse and mental health problems and their families. Operation PAR will work collaboratively with the long established Citizens Alliance for Progress, housed in the Union Academy. The PARIS program will serve 144 youth during the three year funding period who are between the ages of 10-17 and their families in the Union Academy neighborhood of Tarpon Springs, Florida. PARIS will serve 32, 64, and 50 youth and families in years one, two, and three respectively. This neigborhood is predominantly African American but with an emergin Hispanic population. Many of the new Hispanic families have monolingual parents and grandparents, further exacerbating the ability to access quality substance abuse and mental health services. ARCA's individual and family services will be delivered at the Union Academy and ACC will be delivered in homes and at other consumer friendly environments encouraged in the manuals.
The Pinellas County Juvenile Welfare Board, a government entity, describes the Union Academy Neighborhood as having multiple risk factors. Poverty, high crime rate, exposure to domestic violence, poor academic performance, and substance abuse are some of the issues that impact youth on a regular basis. Since the town has no substance abuse treatment programs except for a few private therapists that are not substance abuse oriented who only take insurance or full fees, the baseline for treatment services is zero availability. The PARIS project will bring much needed outpatient treatment and continuing care to youth and their families.

The project is an initiative of Operation PAR, Inc., the largest comprehensive Tx provider in West Central Florida. Over 20 years ago, Operation PAR's President & Chief Executive Officer Nancy Hamilton spearheaded national efforts to develop evidence-based, gender-specific Tx for PPW with the opening of PAR Village. The FAIR project will provide capacity expansion of existing residential Tx services for PPW and their children by: (1) increasing the number of beds; (2) increasing the Tx engagement rate; (3) increasing the Tx retention rate; and (4) utilizing competency-based criteria for Tx completion. The project will enroll female veterans, women of color, women involved with the child welfare system, and women with HIV. The goals are to: increase the percentage of women bringing their children into Tx to 33%.; increase the percentage of pregnant women enrolling in Tx during first trimester from 5% to 20%; reduce the negative impact of maternal SA on infants and children; increase Tx completion rates from 54% to 65% by addressing HIV, COD, and trauma; improve family functioning, economic stability and quality of life; and sustain recovery through support and self-sufficiency.

The Village, a community based agency in Miami, Florida will expand its Families in Transition Program by making comprehensive, evidence based residential treatment services available for 60 pregnant and postpartum women and 120 of their infants and children impacted by the perinatal, environmental and physiological effects of maternal substance abuse. The primary goals are to reduce maternal substance abuse, increase the number of drug-free births, decrease the incidence of developmental and behavioral problems among the children, improve the physical and mental health of the women and children, improve family functioning, and decrease involvement in crime. The evidence-based program will provide cultural and gender sensitive services that are specific to the needs of pregnant and postpartum women, their children and families. The target population is African-American and Hispanic. In addition, the program will provide opportunities for spouses, significant others and extended family members to participate in the treatment process to increase family knowledge of addiction and family support. Expansion of the Families in Transition Program will result in (1) reduced substance abuse during the prenatal and postnatal periods, (2) decreased occurrence of drug-exposed births, (3) decreased incidence of developmental and behavioral problems among the children, (4) improved maternal, infant and child physical and mental health, (5) increased economic self-sufficiency among the women, (6) improved family functioning evidenced by enhanced family cohesion and decreased family conflict, and (7) decreased involvement in and exposure to crime. The enhancement to the Families in Transition Program will provide trauma-related services to the women through the Seeking Safety Program. Both process and outcome evaluations are integrated into the project utilizing the GPRA mandates and CSAT standard outcome requirements to demonstrate treatment effectiveness and efficiency.

The Comprehensive AIDS Program of Palm Beach County, Inc. (CAP) Outreach and SA Capacity and Expansion Project proposed by CAP has two primary components. First, the project will use direct street outreach to provide HIV education and testing and SA screening to high risk individuals in their neighborhoods. Second, CAP will act as a broker of substance abuse treatment by referring, paying for treatment and following up with those individuals who are identified as in need for substance abuse treatment. The proposed program will target African American and Latinos in Palm Beach Florida who are at high risk for substance abuse and HIV. Outreach workers will conduct targeted street outreach and provide on the spot risk reduction education and offer rapid HIV testing. HIV testing and substance abuse screening will be offered at community sites. All participants identified as HIV positive or in need of substance abuse counseling will be referred to services. The goal of the proposed project is to decrease risky sexual behaviors and risky substance use behaviors in high risk minority communities.
