Tennessee Voices for Children (TVC) proposes to increase the capacity of the Statewide Family Support Network. This network serves to strengthen coalitions between family members, youth, mental health professionals and policy makers to support comprehensive, least restrictive Systems of Care for children and youth with serious emotional distubances, recognizing that families are the best and most effective agents for positive change.
At TVC, parents find education, information, support, and caring which enable them to more effectively parent and advocate for their child. Well-informed families are strengthened and are better equippped to deal with children who have problems. The Statewide Family Support Network (SFSN) provides education and training to parents, professionals, policymakers, business and community leaders; publishes a quarterly newsletter; maintains a library of educational materials; provides a 1-800 number for information referral, and advocacy; and promotes the development of family support groups throughout the state. The SFSN reaches families of all economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds in rural, suburban and urban areas.
This grant will fund the position of a Family Outreach Specialist who will serve as a family advocate and administrator for the Parent-2-Parent program. This program will provide advocacy and leadership training for parents statewide, increasing the pool of volunteer advocates available for families as a resource, as well as the number of support groups for families of children and youth with SED throughout Tennessee.

The JustCare Family Network (JustCare) is a mental health initiative in Shelby County, Tennessee, serving children and youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families. The Network will offer an effective approach to system transformation by delivering enhanced mental health services through a culturally competent, child-focused, family-driven, and coordinated system of care. Using trained local parents/caregivers as care coordinators with support from mental health consultants, and partnering with parents at all levels, the Network will serve a minimum of 450 unduplicated children and youth with SED, age 5 to 19, and their families over the grant period (approximately 90 per year). The population of Shelby County is largely African-American, and local estimates indicate that there are more than 5,000 African- American youth with SED who are eligible for Medicaid-funded mental health services, but are underutilizing them.

The Tennessee Lives Count, Youth Suicide Prevention Early Intervention Juvenile Justice Project (TLC) is a statewide early intervention/prevention project to reduce suicides/attempts for youth (ages 10-24). A major focus of this project involves youth that have been remanded to the custody of the Tennessee Department of Children's Service/Juvenile Justice Division.Youth in Juvenile Justice have much higher rates of suicide; in fact, the rate of attempts is 45.5% and suicide is the leading cause of death for youth in residential facilities. TLC will build on the success of its first grant cycle by addressing youth in the Juvenile Justice system, impacting staff, community leaders as well as the young people that it serves. This approach is more specific and comprehensive then the first TLC project.TLC includes advanced gatekeeper training utilizing the ASIST model for staff in the residential facilities and other Juvenile Justice staff. It also involves Gatekeeper training for community leaders using the two hour Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) model developed during the first grant cycle with the intention of promoting a sense of connectedness for the youth once they return to their communities. The youth in the community residential programs will receive peer suicide awareness training as well as programming to enhance resiliency and life skills. A needs assessment, MOU, policy recommendations, Social Marketing campaign to reduce stigma, university curricula enhancement, and a plan for sustainability are all components of this project. Project outcomes will result in 650 Juvenile Justice staff receiving the advanced ASISTgatekeeper training. 3000 community contacts such as Big Brothers, faith based programs will receive a two hour gatekeeper training, this number includes an additional 100 university faculty and 1,000 students or student leaders trained in QPR and lethality assessment, and 500 Youth in community Juvenile Justice placement.

Adolescents' families and/or primary caregivers will also be served. A large proportion of the adolescents at the AFT will be court-involved. SUD youth also face the additional challenge of not being in complete control of their home environment and lifestyle. Youth are more dependent than adults on the support of their families for their recovery. At the Elam Center, treatment for SUD is often a family affair. Many referrals to AFT will be children of adults in the Elam Center's adult treatment programs.

Enrollees receive therapy, case management, a minimum of 5 urine screens, as well as referral, advocacy and other services imperative to recovery. Project staff will conduct therapy and case management within school, home, and community-based settings. These services will be complemented by community outreach and education efforts. Project SELF will collobate closely with the local school system, juvenile courts, and the recently funded SAMHSA/CMHS system of care grant (serving children, adolescents, and young adults, ages birth to 21 years) in Maury County. This SOC grant, received by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Development Disabilities (TDMHDD) entitled "Mule Town Family Network", was instrumental in identifying the specific gap in services for adolescents with SUD and their families. To enhance coordination and collaboration, the Advisory Council for Project SELF will be representative of youth, families, adults, and agencies within the county and will serve as a sub-committee of the SOC network.

The TN-ATR program creates a multifaceted array of recovery services with an enhanced referral collaboration within the criminal justice system. Tennessee's Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services (TDADAS) will support individuals to achieve and maintain abstinence by offering consumer choice through a voucher system; increasing service capacity; expanding a statewide culturally competent provider network to include faith- and community-based agencies; and improving access to clinical treatment and recovery support services, which include programmatic restructuring from a broker case management model to a strengths-based case management model. TN-ATR is open to all TN residents, 18 years or older, at or below the median income level and without insurance to pay for essential clinical treatment and/or recovery support services. TADAS will partner with the criminal justice system to increase access to services for the offender population.

Project For Recovery, Encouragement, and Empowerment (FREE) will target adults, 18 and older, in seven rural Tennessee counties, who are substance-involved, have a substance abuse or co-occurring substance abuse/mental health disorder, and are involved in community justice systems. In this rural area, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana production, trafficking, and abuse, along with alcohol and prescription drug misuse/abuse are straining the local criminal justice system, creating environmental hazards, and endangering individuals, children, and families. The three-year project will expand and enhance access to structured, culturally competent care for a total of 220 persons (60 in Year 1 and 80 persons annually in Years 2 and 3). Using the evidence-based SAMHSA TIP 44, which will be complemented by support services and emphasizing client engagement through education and therapeutic alliance, outcomes will include: reduced crime and recidivism; reduction in substance use; reduction in costs related to substance abuse; reduced incarceration; education of 3,500 family members, adults, adolescents, physicians and other community stakeholders; target population representation in all facets of the program; and a rigorous evaluation process that develops and disseminates a documented service model for replication in the state and the nation. Project FREE will provide screening/assessment, treatment planning, outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, case management, family/individual substance abuse education, relapse prevention, drug testing/monitoring and other recovery support services, as well as linkages with wraparound care (primary and mental healthcare, etc.). The project will provide comprehensive community outreach and education, as well as staff experienced in substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

Centerstone's Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV Services targets adults, ages 18+ (primarily African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and other ethnic/racial groups including those who have been released from prisons and jails within the past two years), who are abusing substances and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. The project will use the evidenced-based Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT) Model, and will serve nine counties in Middle Tennessee. The Greater Nashville Area has the largest cumulative number of persons already living with HIV/AIDS in the State (Cheatham, Dickson, Davidson, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties). This five-year project will expand and enhance access to structured, culturally competent care for a total of 400 persons (80 persons per ear). Outcomes will include reductions in the abuse of substances and costs related to drug abuse; and education of 4,000 family and community stakeholders.

The project provides integrated treatment services to address an existing gap in services for ex-offenders in the Nashville community with concurrent addictions, mental illness, and HIV/AIDS or at high risk of HIV/AIDS. It integrates evidence-based practices outlined by Robert Drake and Kim Mueser, along with the key clinical prevention concepts of the CDC, NIDA, and SAMHSA for HIV/AIDS prevention and care within integrated substance abuse and mental health services. Integrated services for people with co-occurring SA/MI that incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to engage and facilitate earlier access to HIV/AIDS services will be provided. This project proposes to increase effectiveness for our target population by pairing key components of effective, evidence-based integrated treatment with the ten evidence-based core principles of the dual diagnosis framework and key clinical HIV prevention concepts outlined by the CDC, NIDA, and SAMHSA.

Metropolitan Interdenominational Church First Response Center (MICFRC or "Center"), a faith-based organization, using new and existing partners, proposes to expand outreach services to low income African Americans, particularly drug users and MSMs in high risk communities and to enhance service provision, focusing on recovery management throughout the treatment and recovery process. MICFRC will partner with Street Works, a community based HIV prevention and care organization to expand outreach services. New and existing partners will provide a comprehensive continuum of services that program participants will access through intensive and ongoing case management and participant services. The primary goal of the project is to provide a coordinated continuum of culturally competent HIV outreach, case management, substance treatment and other related services to African-Americans at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and other STDs by strengthening the existing collaborative partnership among participating organizations. Over the life of the project, MICFRC proposes to serve 21,250 individuals through street outreach, 2,125 through counseling and testing sessions using the OraQuick devise, 750 through intensive case management and 300 through post recovery support. Staff anticipates that participants will experience reduced alcohol and drug use, increased knowledge of risk reduction strategies, decreased frequency of HIV/STD risk behaviors, increased self-sufficiency and improved psychosocial functioning.

Centerstone's Project SELF-Nashville is a culturally sensitive, community-based treatment program that serves a total of 288 adolescents, ages 12-18, with substance abuse and/or co-occurring mental disorders, and their families in Davidson County, Tennessee. The project will collaborate with schools and juvenile court. The project will use funds to expand treatment to 48 slots, using Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) and the Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) models. Within these models, each adolescent participates in a range of intensive outpatient services over a period of 6 months (ACRA for 3 months, followed by ACC for 3 months), and family/caregivers participate in joint and individual sessions. Enrollees receive therapy, case management, a minimum of 5 urine screens, as well as referral, advocacy and other services imperative to recovery. Project staff will conduct therapy and case management within school, home, and community-based settings. These services will be complemented by community outreach and education efforts and with selective aftercare classes and workshops.

This project seeks SAMHSA funding to address the lack of services for low-income pregnant and postpartum women (PPW) with co-occurring substance abuse (SA) and mental health (MH) disorders and their families in the city of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee through an expansion of the "Babylove" program in Memphis. Each year in Shelby County, an estimated 1,000 low-income PPW with co-occurring SA and MH disorders are in need of/have limited access to treatment services due to a variety of cultural, physical, or fiscal barriers. In 2007, 62 PPW admitted to various publicly-funded treatment agencies in Shelby County received treatment for SA only and not for their co-occurring condition. Expansion services will provide greater access to cost-effective, comprehensive, and integrated treatment and recovery support services for traditionally underserved populations including low-income PPW of diverse ethnicities, their minor children, and, if appropriate, the fathers of the children, current partners of the women, and other extended family members. The project aims to serve 25 PPW, 60 children, and 50 other family members annually for three years. Project goals include expanding residential treatment services to PPW with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders; increasing the number of safe and healthy pregnancies and improving birth outcomes; reducing the effects of maternal substance abuse on infants and children; enhancing the mental and physical health of clients and their minor children; and improving the family functioning, economic stability, and quality of life for clients.
