The Texas Federation of Families for Children's Mental health (TXFFCMH) is a statewide family-run, non-profit organization established in 1989 by families of children with behavioral disorders and currently has 8 chapters. The purpose of this organization is to enhance services to children and youth with serious emotional disturbance(SED) and thier families by increasing knowledge and awareness of children' mental health issues in Texas. The informed voices of youth with emotional, behavioral, and/or mental disabilities and their families will strengthen as they increase in number. The expert knowledge and skill of the staff and network leaders are a recognized vital component in the development of Systems of Care in Texas. The staff and volunteers of the TXFFCMH are informed family members of children with serious mental health needs. For 18 years, TXFFCMH has served as an avenue of transformation toward family focused services and continues to strengthen existing partnerships while building new ones. Family and youth partnerships on local, state, and national planning committees have increased 125% in six years, (from 6 to 48). TXFFCMH strives to help move Texas systems and families forward by increasing peer and provider relationships. TXFFCMH is respected for their dependable and accessible communication, which is critical to earning credibility, respect and maintaining enduring relationships with partner organizatios and agencies in Texas such as local TXFFCMH Chapters, Attention Deficit Disorder Association, the Bi-Polar Consortium, The Texas Office of Multicultural Services, the Texas Disability Policy Consortium, The Center for Health care Service, Texas Health Instutute; Transformation Consumer Workgroup, Texas Support for Military families and state child-serving agencies.

The Texas Department of Health Services (DSHS) will utilize funds received from the DIG to improve the collection of the URS measures. Currently, multiple sources are tapped for reporting and a unified data warehousing system is necessary for the timely and accurate reporting of data in support of the NOMS and the Block Grant. The continued development and refinement of a Web-based system for client-level data collection and reporting utilizing information from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is essential. The availability of DIG funds provides the vehicle for implementation of a standard data architecture with documentation and ongoing user training.

The state of Texas has developed a proposal for Mental Health System Transformation that will result in an ongoing, comprehensive interagency process for planning and implementation to provide mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment services that will ultimately accomplish all of the New Freedom Commissions' goals. The Governor has designated a broad-based interagency Transformation Working Group (TWG). Consumers and family members have also been designated as have State Legislators. The TWG will develop a Comprehensive Mental Health Plan (CMHP) and serve as project and system oversight capacity into the future (beyond grant funding). Executive level staff at the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) will provide project leadership. The project is intended to promote transformation of the Texas mental health system to build a solid foundation for delivering evidence-based mental health and related services, foster recovery, improve quality of life, and meet the multiple needs of mental health consumers across the life span when and where they present for services. The transformation will move the system from disparate programs to a coordinated system of care that offers promotion, prevention and treatment services to Texans with mental illness and emotional disturbance across the life span.

Responding to the state's call for system reform for this population, this project will create a seamless array of services to counter identified statewide system gaps and barriers: including insufficient financial means for families to pay for treatment for children; lack of effective, community-based services and family supports; lack of public understanding about mental health disorders in children; a need to focus on prevention and intervention services to treat children when problems first appear and are most responsive to treatment; and lack of culturally competent services, tailored to address the diversity of Texas families.

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.

Higher Dimension Youth Empowerment Program (HDYEP) serves the Harris County (Westwood) Community which is 42% African-American and 41% Hispanic. Although African-Americans make up 20% of the greater Houston population, they account for more than half (51%) of reported AIDS cases and 65% of all HIV diagnoses. Seventy-five percent (75%) of adolescents ages 13-19 who were diagnosed with HIV since 1999 were African-American.
Through a process of cultural immersion, the goal of HDYEP is to collaborate with credentialed service providers, area HIV planning and anti-drug commissions, and youth-serving organizations to reconfigure the way 150 African-American adolescents age 12-17 think about health and well-being and enhance the development of protective factors that would help adolescents to engage in and/or sustain behavior that will reduce or prevent the onset of substance abuse or transmission of HIV/AIDS. The objective of the HDYEP Project is to utilize cost-effective, evidence-based practices that will help adolescents adopt/internalize values and attitudes that are antithetical to risk-taking, life threatening conduct and that will: 1)Increase abstinence from drug use/alcohol abuse and unsafe sex practices; 2)Provide African-American adolescents age 12-17 with culturally competent HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention information, resources and materials in naturalistic settings that increase retention in treatment; 3)Decrease criminal justice involvement; 4)Increase access to SA/HIV prevention/intervention services; 5) Increase employability and decrease school-related misconduct (unexcused absences, suspensions, expulsions); and 6) Enhance social connectedness and parent communication.

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.

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/AIDS among at-risk Latino men having sex with men (MSM) populations reporting high rates of HIV infection in the Coastal Bend Area of Texas. This population is disparately affected by substance abuse and HIV/AIDS. The proposed catchment area for Project BESOS is comprised of Aransas, Jim Wells, San Patricio, Kleberg and Nueces Counties.
NIDA Community Outreach Model will be utilized to conduct outreach to identify minority MSM populations at risk for SA and transmission of HIV. Screening for SA and HIV will be conducted, by Project BESOS staff. Project BESOS will provide clients with HIV Protocol-Based counseling (PBC).
PBC counseling will routinely be provided to participants being screened (before the administration of the rapid HIV test, during the waiting period and for preliminary results and after preliminary results has been provided).

The El Paso Alliance, Inc., doing business as the Recovery Alliance, is a Recovery Community Organization established in 1998. 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.

Rites of Emergence into Adult Living (REAL) targets African-Americans ages 12-17. 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.

Serving Children and Adolescents in Need Inc. is proposing to use the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach, a treatment intervention, with the Assertive Continuing Care Protocol, a case management approach, to implement The Familias Unidas Adolescent Treatment Project in Webb County which has Laredo as its County seat. Familias Unidas is Spanish for Families United. The proposed project has made linguistic and cultural adapatations to meet the needs of the target population. Some of the cultural adaptations include enhancement of caretaker and family members' participation through additonal family services that have been integrated to the project. These family services include additional parenting support, establishment of Family Fiestas and group parenting training using the content of the Family Support Network parenting sessions. One of the main objectives of the project is to engage as many family members as possible during the entire process of the adolescent's treatment experience from the first contact to discharge and access to continuing care. The goals of the project are the following: 1): To efficiently implement a family-centered adolescent treatment project using the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach and the Assertive Continuing Care Protocol; 2): To make cultural and linguistic modifications to the project and record modifications systematically in order that effective cultural and linguistic adaptations can be replicated; 3): To provide quality and responsive evidence-based treatment services to adolescents of Webb County and their families; 4): To reduce or stop participants' substance use and increase pro-social behaviors; 5) To achieve high follow-up rates at 3, 6, and 12 months.

Project PHASES will provide HIV/AIDS and substance abuse expansion services to address gaps in SA and HIV services in the Coastal Bend area of South Texas. The Hispanic population is the fastest growing minority group currently; they currently comprise 13.4% of the propulation, but they are projected to be 24% of the population by 2050. They account for 18% of the newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases. In 2006, 66% of new HIV infection reported in the Coastal Bend area were Hispanic. Similarly, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana and prescription medication use amongst Hispanics is on the increase. Growing numbers of prisoners returning to neighborhoods throughout Texas highlights the importance of programs focusing on reentry populations. Project PHASES will provide HIV/AIDS and substance abuse expansion services in the Coastal Bend area of South Texas, as well as outreach and pre-treatment services, HIV/AIDS prevention, risk reduction and treatment services.
