| With 20% of inmates (1200 individuals) suffering with serious mental illness, the Miami-Dade County Jail is the largest facility with psychiatric patients in Florida. The Florida Dept. of Children and Families' Jail Diversion Expansion Program will expand existing programs to include countywide Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for all police agencies and to improve the case management system to provide better aftercare and treatment for the diverted population. Miami-Dade County has the highest percentage of people with mental illnesses of any urban area in the United States, 9.1% of the general population or approximately 210,000 people. Without adequate community-based treatment and a less than optimum system of continuum care, many people with mental illnesses in the community cycle in and out of the criminal justice system for their entire adult lives. Annually, the local Department of Corrections spends almost fifteen million dollars to manage this population and one million dollars to provide psychotropic medication. The Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County, Florida has responded to this crisis by implementing the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project. The Project, which is supported by a broad base of partners includes a Pre- Booking and Post-Booking Jail Diversion Program, an Adult Living Facility Quality of Care Program, a Transition and Housing Program, and an In-Court Case Management Specialist. The goal of the Project is to make jail the last resort for people with severe and chronic mental illnesses. Within the last year, the Project has reduced recidivism among the misdemeanor population from an estimated 70% to 11 % and has saved the local government hundreds of thousands of dollars. Recently, the program was recognized by receipt of a Council of State Governments Innovation Award. However, the additional resources will improve and expand services to better meet the program's goals. | ||

Government & private funders, child & family service providers, child advocates, parents & youth participated. The mission is "To create and participate in a collaborative planning, funding & service delivery system that is integrated, culturally competent and focused on empowering families to create measurable change in the lives of their children." This project will create an infrastructure that supports on-going collaboration among local stakeholders, & addresses systemic issues, service gaps & barriers that prevent SED children from remaining within their natural family & community environments. The governing body will be comprised of community stakeholders, 3 SED parents & 2 youths. The local SED Network (SEDNET) will provide expertise specific to the needs of SED families. Family will be provided with TA to create a Family-Run Organization and to enhance parent advocacy skills. Service initiatives include developing a comprehensive, integrated, non-duplicative and strengths-based single "front-door" allowing access to the SOC through behavioral health & primary healthcare providers. A research-based model of intensive wraparound services will be implemented to prevent residential placement. The One Community Partnership will create a drop-in center for older teens & enhance child care & respite to support SED families. | ||

The envisioned planning project will rely heavily upon a consensus building process and will be directed toward two goals: 1) to develop and implement a planning structure that will result in a more accurate determination of community need for substance abuse and HIV prevention services, the capacity of the current system, and the gaps in meeting recognized comprehensive needs; and 2) to establish a programmatic and cost-effective, culturally sensitive model of care for the provision of integrated SA/HIV prevention services to all residents of the service area. The project will also include an assessment of current service capacity and the development of core competencies, where needed, so that integrated prevention services can be implemented the end of the planning process. BASIC, a minority-serving, community-based organization located in Panama City, Florida, will implement the planning project.

BASIC will rely on its existing cooperative partnerships with other prevention providers as well as other collaborative community partners to ensure the development of a model care that is not only responsive to the needs of African Americans, but that will also ensure the best possible client outcomes. | ||

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.

The project will serve a minimum of 50 children, ages 6 to 17, and their parents each year for a total projected participation of 250 youth and their families. Youth will receive training in life skills such as ATOD education, HIV/AIDS education, conflict resolution, peer relations, community service, and goal setting.

| PHASE (Preventing HIV, AIDS, & Substance Abuse Effectively) is a science-based SAP/HIVP model based on the Healthy Oakland Teens Project (HOT) program founded in 1992 at an urban, ethnically diverse junior high school. The program will fill a critical service gap by serving 200 racially diverse high-risk adolescents and their parents, aged 13-60, annually. These target youth/families have been classified as Children/Families In Need of Services (CINS/FINS) based upon their elevated risk for, commitment to, and institutionalization in, the dependency and delinquency systems. HOT uses indigenous peers as "messengers" of prevention and proposes to expand the model to include a much-needed parent component. This component will facilitate more positive family relationships that will reduce family conflicts, runaway behavior, negative acting out conduct, and other related problems that contribute to increased risk for substance abuse and HIV infection among this population. | ||
