Title: CCBHC Expansion Grants
Project Period: 2021/02/15 - 2023/02/14
The project seeks to solve the problem of service expansion by expediting our ability to move Substance Use Disorder Services and Care Coordination to the scale needed to appropriately serve the client population, to improve access to Psychiatry through Rapid Access and more efficient scheduling, to enhance the identification and treatment for physical health conditions and to strengthen the Crisis Response System. All the required services in the CCBHC array are provided today by Betty Hardwick Center, but this project proposal seeks to increase access to them by both increasing provider capacity and gaining efficiencies and improving quality of care.

Title: SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
The Washington County Drug Court seeks a Capacity Expansion Grant for our Adult Drug Treatment Court to assist nonviolent offenders to successfully rehabilitate from the use of drugs and/or alcohol. The program mission is to "address drug-related crimes by reducing recidivism and promoting public safety through the implementation and management of a cost-effective, community based intervention and treatment program, and to improve the lives of participants." This project will address the following goals and objectives: Goal 1: to increase partner knowledge of the program and consideration of the drug court program as a viable option in the interventions for drug-related offenders in the criminal justice system. Objectives will strive toward a 200% increase in referrals and overall admissions so that a minimum of 40 participants will be served annually. Goal 2: To reduce substance use and recidivism among a higher capacity of identified offenders through intensive treatment, community and judicial supervision. Goal 3: Improve individual and societal accountability among participants. Goal 4: Reduce drug related costs and workload volumes on Washington County's criminal justice system. This will be accomplished via implementation of the 10 Key Components. Within those components we will offer an array of quality behavioral health services to address substance use and any co-occurring mental health needs of participants. Consistent and swift interventions to address compliance/non-compliance, along with intensive judicial interaction are key change strategies and interventions utilized to help create life change for participants. These interventions have proven effective for our target population of men and women, largely between the ages of 18 and 49, all with a DSM-V substance use disorder diagnosis and a history of criminal involvement who are living in Washington County, Virginia, a rural, high poverty area.

Title: SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts
Project Period: 2019/05/31 - 2024/05/30
The Washington County Drug Court seeks a Capacity Expansion Grant for our Adult Drug Treatment Court to assist nonviolent offenders to successfully rehabilitate from the use of drugs and/or alcohol. The program mission is to “address drug-related crimes by reducing recidivism and promoting public safety through the implementation and management of a cost-effective, community-based intervention and treatment program, and to improve the lives of participants.” The Washington County Drug Treatment Court Expansion Project will address the following goals and objectives: GOAL 1: To increase access to the program to a larger population of individuals to be a viable option of intervention for drug-related offenders in the criminal justice system. Objectives will strive toward an increase in eligible referrals resulting in an overall 20% increase in admissions to the program so that a minimum of 48 participants will be served annually, and a minimum of 240 over the duration of the project cycle. GOAL 2: To reduce substance use and recidivism among a higher capacity of identified offenders through intensive treatment, community and judicial supervision. Objectives will focus on a 75% retention rate, 80% sustained abstinence, and recidivism rates below 60% while in the program and below 75% upon completion. GOAL 3: Improve individual and societal accountability among participants. Objectives will focus on a minimum 75% employment and increasing financial responsibility regarding treatment and court related expenses resulting from legal charges. GOAL 4: Reduce drug related costs and workload volumes on Washington County’s criminal justice system. Objectives will focus on decreasing rates of incarceration and expenses to the localities by a minimum of 100,000 annually in unused jail days. This will be accomplished via implementation of the 10 Key Components established and published by the National Drug Court Institute. Within those components we will offer an array of quality behavioral health services to address the substance use and any co-occurring mental health needs of participants, as mental health diagnoses are not exclusionary criteria of this program. Consistent and swift interventions to address compliance/non-compliance, along with intensive judicial interaction are key change strategies and interventions utilized to help create life change for participants. These interventions have proven effective for our target population of men and women, largely between the ages of 18 and 49, all with a DSM-5 substance use disorder diagnosis and a history of criminal involvement who are living in Washington County, Virginia, a rural, high poverty area.

Title: CARA Local Drug Crises Grants
Project Period: 2018/07/01 - 2021/06/30
The proposed project is the "Atlantic County CARA Project to Address Youth Opiate and/or Opioid Use/Misuse". The population(s) to be served include Atlantic County youth and young adults between the ages of 12 and 18 who are considered at greater risk of developing an Opioid Use Disorder due to their county of residence which is one of, if not the worst county in the U.S. for opioid-related problems. Strategies and interventions include expanding the scope of work of the existing DFC supported substance misuse coalition, Join Together Atlantic Count (JTAC). Building upon the success of JTAC, plans also include a few new and very creative interventions, including one in which coalition members portray "drug reps" and call on doctor's offices in order to reach physicians with "counter-marketing" information. Goals include increasing organizational capacity and collaboration with current and new partners; data collection, analysis and dissemination; and reducing availability and/or youth access to opioids. It is anticipated that at least several hundred individuals/groups will be served during the first year of the project and in 3 years at least 1,000 people will have been reached directly or indirectly as measured by a variety of process and outcome evaluations.

Title: Native Connections
Project Period: 2018/09/30 - 2023/09/29
Suicidal events and substance and alcohol use and misuse continue to impact Pueblo of Acoma. The most recent Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey (YRRS) and Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFFS) from 2015 clearly identified the risk factors but also the resiliency factors and assets and resources that Tribes like Pueblo of Acoma might leverage to improve the health and well-being of the people of the Tribe. Within Tribal communities is a resilient culture that is necessary for young people and families to overcome barriers to health and wellness. Pueblo of Acoma conducted a Strategic Prevention Framework-Tribal Initiative Grant (SPF-TIG) for six years to address alcohol misuse across the lifespan including our young people up to age 18 years. The Goal of Native Connections is to create new strategies, policies and protocols for integrating young people of the Tribe into a seamless programmatic response to suicide and alcohol/substance misuse and transition between strategies and service providers. The grant will also improve current strategies for suicide and substance/alcohol use across SAMHSA’s three Tiers of Prevention Strategies. This will be done through the strategy of community readiness and awareness surveys, initiation of community-supporting evidence-based programming including Gathering of Native Americans (GONA), mental health first aid for adults and youth and Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR). These will improve awareness and readiness and increase the basic knowledge base and capacity of the Acoma community. We intend to braid cultural trainings into the Native Connections including Acoma tradition, American Indian-focused strategies including equine therapy, and re-introduction to the Keres language. The strategy of Native Connections is to introduce Acoma young people and families to Native Connections-based evidence-based programs (EBP) to improve communication and acknowledgement of issues each face. Young people and adults recruited from Acoma will participate as advisors and guides in the grant curricula and then move on to participate in EBP programs and other opportunities that address the refrain from our SFP-TIG participants “Now what do we do?” Through Native Connections the expectation is that each year the program will serve Acoma’s young people and their families. The expectation for young people will participate in EBP and braided Acoma service provider programs to address suicide and substance/alcohol use and misuse through SAMHSA’s three-tiered prevention and intervention strategies. The outcome of Native Connections will be ownership and buy-in by Acoma’s young people and their families of prevention and intervention strategies for suicide and substance/alcohol use and misuse in the Tribe. People of Pueblo of Acoma have long recognized the issues they face and their buy-in for Native Connections is evidenced in the ownership of the application as Aakum’e T’satsem? ka Hiiyam?ni (Pathway for Acoma Families). Acoma and ABHS view Native Connections as an ideal next step in the evolution of its current suicide and substance/alcohol misuse and use prevention and intervention strategies in our young people and their families. The capacity to deliver EBP support through previous SAMHSA awards has provided the Tribe and departments with significant abilities and capacities. The lessons learned from these recent SAMHSA-funded efforts will provide the foundational support for Native Connections and ensure that the Tribe and ABHS will succeed in this grant and assure success in future mechanisms.

Title: INDIGENOUS - PROJECT LAUNCH
Project Period: 2018/09/30 - 2023/09/29
Pueblo of Acoma has long-recognized its responsibility in the protection of the people of the Tribe from public health concerns including mental health and well-being. From 2010 to 2016, Acoma managed a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant for the Strategic Prevention Framework-Tribal Initiative Grant (SPF-TIG) as a mechanism to improve awareness and provide training to families and children and youth (aged 3 to 18) on alcohol misuse among under-aged residents of the Tribe. The SPF-TIG provided a foundation for the Acoma Behavioral Health Service (ABHS) to improve and increase its service delivery and its awareness and training capacity. In 2015, ABHS was awarded a Tribal Technical and Training Assistance (TTA) award from SAMHSA to conduct community readiness and needs assessments and build sustainability within the Tribe for mental health and wellness among children, youth and families in Acoma Pueblo. The current LAUNCH application is a value-added effort to a pending SAMHSA Circles of Care. The LAUNCH is intended as a braided next step in the evolution of Acoma and ABHS’ development as custodians of the mental health and wellness of its people including children from birth to 8 years. Through SAMHSA-funded SPF-TIG and TTA, ABHS is well-positioned to secure the LAUNCH award and conduct the planning and infrastructure development. The goal of the grant is the establishment of supportive infrastructure including program staff with full training and capacity for LAUNCH Tribal Advisory Workgroups and Councils, research and evaluation training and capacity building workgroups, and Tribal Epidemiology Workgroups with objective of building Acoma community buy-in, program sustainability, and foundational data for sustained infrastructure development and planning to provide mental health and well-being support for children aged 0 to 8 and their families. The ABHS believes LAUNCH will enable the Tribe to provide a fully supportive system of community buy-in through TTA-driven community readiness and needs assessments with Acoma community stakeholders providing the guidance for LAUNCH through participation in various advisory, research epidemiology, youth and child welfare workgroups and councils, and survey workgroups, action committees and councils re-established from SPF-TIG and TTA awards. Infrastructure development and planning will be culturally relevant and respect and honor traditions of Acoma people and their language. Infrastructure will be developed as a basis for LAUNCH to be initiated after the planning phase in years 1 and 2. Acoma and ABHS view LAUNCH as an ideal next step in the evolution of its mental health and wellness efforts for children (0 to 8 years) and families. The capacity to deliver evidence-based programmatic (EBP) support through the SPF-TIG and TTA awards has provided the Tribe and departments with significant abilities and capacities. The lessons learned from these recent SAMHSA-funded efforts will provide the foundational support for LAUNCH and ensure that the Tribe and ABHS will succeed in this grant and assure success in future mechanisms.

Title: SAMHSA Drug Courts
Project Period: 2014/09/30 - 2017/09/29
The goal of the Pueblo of Acoma Treatment Drug Courts program is to expand the existing Acoma Tribal Wellness Court to include the Acoma Family Wellness Court model. Intensive supervision and treatment will be provided to both adults and their families, and to adolescent offenders and their families to reduce alcohol and substance related consequences and encourage engagement in traditional and cultural practices long seen as resiliency factors. A Keres speaking people, the Pueblo of Acoma Tribal community is strongly tied to its cultural practices, beliefs, language and traditions, which are reflected in its active traditional religion and tribal administrative practices. However, the Pueblo has not been immune to the social ills that affect both Tribal and non-Tribal communities. Beginning in 2010, the Pueblo of Acoma piloted an Acoma Tribal Wellness Court program utilizing existing Court, Behavioral Health, and Tribal service programs to provide intensive supervision and treatment services. The Pueblo of Acoma proposes the expansion to service three cohorts of ten families each under the Acoma Family Wellness Court project. Participants will be selected from 5 adult offenders and their families, and 5 adolescents and their families for each cohort; average family size is 5 individuals for a total service population at minimum of 150 individuals over the life of the grant. The Pueblo of Acoma Family Wellness Court seeks to weave evidence based practice models such as Project Venture/TANAY, the American Indian Strengthening Families Program and Seeking Safety. The project will also include a four phased treatment model that provides individual counseling, family counseling, parenting, experiential and adventure based learning. This has been designed to reduce alcohol and substance related consequences and increase positive family engagement both in the traditional Acoma family structure and in the Tribal community as a whole.
