Through its innovative program, Youth Against Violence (YAV), W.O.M.E.N. intends to reduce the prevalence of violence and risky behaviors in its sample population by 15% and initiate an increase in pro-social conduct and competence by 25%. Youth Against Violence will involve the leadership and collaboration of youth and the community from its planning stages through implementation and evaluation. The proposed intervention of Youth Against Violence will employ three strategies: 1) StreetTalk-peer-led interactive seminars designed to show youth the harmful repercussions of violent behaviors; 2) LifeSkills-Nine-week youth empowerment curriculum designed to transform youth behaviors by teaching social negotiation skills and 3) The HookUp-youth referral service created to enable the continuation of youth development. It will be delivered to venues of public middle and high schools, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, faith-based institutions and youth service organizations. At the conclusion of two years, the interventions of Youth Against Violence will reach approximately 9,000 at-risk youth. W.O.M.E.N. anticipates that after receiving comprehensive intervention education and participating in risk reduction and behavioral modification exercises, at-risk African-American and Hispanic youth of Nashville will experience enhanced quality of life.

Project Period: 06/01/2003 - 05/31/2005
Tennessee's State mental health and substance abuse authorities will develop collaborative county infrastructures that lead to the documentation and incorporation of a behavioral health All-Hazards response plan within existing county emergency response plans. Project staff will establish plans for the continuity of the behavioral health services in All-Hazards event situations within five geographical regions of the State and determine regional mutual aid capacities. The overall project focus will be on the promotion of interagency collaborations, especially targeting community substance abuse providers, including letters of agreement, coalition building, and protocols for response. Project staff will incorporate a behavioral risk profile into existing emergency management risk assessment data, identifying higher-risk and special population areas within each county. A major outcome goal of the project, necessary in a managed care environment, is to identify indigenous individuals in each county and/or regional area to serve as a core group for staffing All-Hazards behavioral health response outreach crisis counseling teams when activated by event occurrence. A State-level All-Hazards behavioral health response committee, including representatives of stakeholder agencies, consumers, and family members, will be established to support cooperative efforts within the community, share information, coordinate planning, avoid duplication of services, identify gaps in roles, and plan supportive efforts to special populations.

Grantee: Shelby County Government	Memphis, TN
Program: Jail Diversion	SM55058
Congressional District: TN-07
FY 2004 Funding: : $299,769
Project Period: 06/01/2003 - 05/31/2006
This project addresses jail diversion for consumers with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The county government, Pretrial Services, and the Public Defender's Office are working with Foundations and local providers in the Mayor's Jail Mental Health Network to build an outcome-based model leveraging the successes of previous efforts and best-practice concepts to improve services. Despite the success of Shelby County's highly innovative and nationally recognized police-based Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT), current resources are inadequate to stem the tide of mental health consumers entering jail. Since 1985, there has been a 507% increase in the number of inmates housed by the Shelby County Division of Corrections, bringing the total to an average of 2,900 inmates, a figure higher than 11 States. The project model builds upon the success of Shelby County's pre-booking CIT model to provide post-booking linkages among disparate systems within the criminal justice and behavioral health communities. Major project elements include: 1) facilitating early identification and timely transfer to community services; 2) developing Specialty Dual Diagnosis Services provided by Foundations Associates, the only provider of fully integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment services in Tennessee; and 3) upgrading management information systems to provide immediate notification when detainees with mental health disorders enter the system, expedite release, improve communication with providers, and reconnect consumers with SSI and Medicaid benefits. Shelby County is in acute need of this project's expanded services.

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. Tennessee's Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant will use a data-based problem-solving within a systems change model and provide the framework and resources for state government and communities to partner effectively to target scarce resources and build capacity, making each more effective in their efforts to prevent substance use across the lifespan.
