SiJBMI' Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Abstract The Teen Option Program A Multidisciplinary, Culturally Competent, Family-Centered Treatment Continuum for African American Boys and their Families The Teen Option Program (TOP) is a collaboration led by the Contra Costa County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration and including the Contra Costa County Department of Probation, the Youth Services Bureau, Neighborhood House North Richmond, the Center for Human Development, Children's Home Society, and Sojourne Community Counseling Center. The target area is the City of Richmond and an adjacent unincorporated region known as North Richmond. Both areas are plagued by high unemployment, crime, drug abuse, poverty, and violence. The target population is African American youth ages 10-18 who have become involved in the criminal justice system and have a demonstrated substance abuse problem. The goal of the TOP is to reduce drug abuse, recidivism, violence, and other high risk behavior by offering a family-focused, culturally competent diversion-drug treatment continuum capable of annually treating 54 youth and their families. The TOP will help the youth penetrate their denial and overcome a culturally-based aversion to residential treatment for its association with foster care. Prior to TOP the only treatment available was out-of-county residential treatment. African American youth have chosen to `do their time' in Byron Boys Ranch, a local youth detention facility rather than accept treatment. The District Attorney's office and the Department of Probation have developed a number of pre-sentencing options to encourage youth to enroll in the TOP instead. Written into the youth's acceptance of this option is the stipulation that repeated relapse or failure with the treatment plan will result in referral to residential treatment at either Thunder Road (Oakland) or Our Family (Napa). Thus in offering the youth the option to select a modality of treatment, the TOP is also securing a commitment from the youth to accept residential treatment should he not succeed in outpatient. While the youth may have been better served by residential initially, the most critical barrier to African American boys entering treatment is their own refusal to accept any treatment at all. The process of offering an initial option and receiving drug education in the outpatient program will serve to break down this barrier. A number of other innovative strategies will be employed for enjoining youth and their families: a range of home- based family supportive and counseling services; the integration of African American cultural norms throughout the TOP's treatment continuum; the use of trained peer `allies' and adult mentors; and the capability of providing immediate referral for parents who themselves require drug treatment. The TOP will also employ a `Re-Entry Board' that will offer the youth a number of prosocial linkages that will support sustained recovery. The TOP will be evaluated by URSA Institute a nationally respected research and evaluation institute with extensive experience evaluating drug treatment programs. Their evaluation will create a `self-correcting' system capable of making mid-project adjustments. The TOP offers African American youth an option, something to which they can say, "yes." It offers the Nation an innovative, multidisciplinary model worthy of replication.

Background and Significance A. 1. Literature Review Alcohol and drug abuse is a major problem afflicting the youth of our nation. This abuse contributes to crime, school failure, family dysfunction, unemployment, and violence. Efforts to rehabilitate West County drug/alcohol-using delinquent adolescents have suffered due to a lack of both culturally and geographically appropriate primary treatment programs and comprehensive aftercare programs. It has been demonstrated that youths can make desired behavior and attitude changes while in both residential and out-patient treatment programs. Unfortunately, in most instances the youths have been unable to maintain these changes upon release. This should not be surprising since research indicates that behavior changes can not be maintained in community and family environments that do not support these changes. The TOP is built upon the premise that programs designed to affect specific behavior changes in program participants must obtain support for these changes within the environment the participant lives. No matter how comprehensive the program, spending 90, 120 or 180 days treating a youth will have a very limited impact if each day the youth returns to a largely unsupervised and unchanged community. Substantial research confirms this premise. Cronkite and Moos discovered that post treatment experiences accounted for a 50% variance in drug-treatment outcomes while pre-treatment experiences accounted for only 10-20%variance and during-treatment experiences accounted for only 15-18%.1 A study of adolescents and young adults aged, 16-27 examined relapse and post treatment factors at one and two years after treatment and reported cross-sectional correlation's at each time period. Interviews with those who relapsed indicated that they had less involvement in productive activities including work and school and had difficulty contacting people who did not use drugs. Brundage found that recidivism decreased as the number of post treatment delinquent friends decreased.2 After a review of a variety of risk factors influencing recidivism and relapse, Catalano, Wells, Jenson, and Hawkins conclude, "Programs that provide training in social and self-control skills, help youths to take personal responsibility for their actions, address drug use, school problems, and family problems, and help build social peer groups and discourage a return to delinquent associations have promise for reducing continued crime [and drug use]."3 Currently, psycho-social services at Juvenile Hall (the County's short term detention facility for youth waiting adjudication) and Byron Boys Ranch (the County's longer term detention facility) offer instruction and training in decision making, self-esteem and self-control, resistance skills, drug education and 1 R.C.

However, no group alcohol or drug treatment services are offered in either setting. The limited treatment services which do exist are not coordinated nor is there a vehicle for transferring what the youths are learning to significant others in the community who will be supervising and interacting with them upon release. "Individuals are more likely to use what they have learned in a group training experience if significant others encourage them to use their new skills." Forman (1988)4 Hodges, Guterman, Blythe, and Bronson concluded that intensive aftercare services for delinquent children should include: "a functional formal and informal social support network... assistance identifying the gaps that currently exist in their support network and in developing skill to build relationships in the weak links of their support system."S "An appropriate educational placement is important in the child's transition from residential care to living in the home." 6 It has been shown that children raised in families with lax supervision, excessively severe or inconsistent disciplinary strategies, and little communication and involvement between parents and children are at greater risk for delinquency and frequent drug use by adolescents.70 Therapeutic family services assisting parents to develop more consistent house management strategies will reduce this risk factor. A final problem which must be addressed with this particular population is their disinclination to enter substance abuse treatment programs. Group homes (of any type) carry a variety of negative connotations for these youth (implications that they have been "removed" from their families, that they have no parents or caregivers, or that something else is wrong with their home). Probation Officers report that these youth will choose to do their time in Byron Boys Ranch rather than willing enter into a residential treatment program. This speaks to the power of the social norms of this community. TOP is also based on models which are based in the African American community. Richardson and Williams in their paper, African-Americans in Treatment, Dealing with Cultural Differences, reinforce the importance of treatment within an African- American group and the significance of a role modeI.g Case Managers will make routine home visits, assist families in establishing and maintaining healthy family management practices, and provide support to parent and child. The Mentor will provide less formal support to the family and be available to assist in minor crisis. There are several advantages to training the Mentor to perform a lay counseling role. First, by having the work performed by a volunteer, the program remains cost effective. Second, the Mentor has a pre-exdsting position of trust in the family. He/She is an insider who will in most circumstances share a common ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic background with the family. Finally, the Mentor will already know the family and its dynamics. It will be difficult for the family to deny problems that the Mentor has been a witness to for years. In short, while the Mentor 4 Forman, "Secondary Prevention: A school-Based Coping-Skills Training Program for High-Risk Youth," in Prevention Research Findings: 1988, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1988.

Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA is in most every instance going to lack therapeutic sophistication, with training and supervision provided by the TOP staff and an established position of respect in the family, the Mentor will be in a position to have an impact in the family that would be far too costly to sustain using professionals. The Peer will model appropriate behavior and help involve the youth in more positive recreational, educational, and social activities. If a client is identified as needing a full psychological assessment, one will be conducted by YIACT. The Assessment Team and TOP staff will utilize the results of this assessment to assure that appropriate services are delivered. Informal family interventions will also provide a secondary prevention component. Research indicates that having a sibling who has been convicted of a crime is strongly predictive of chronic offending among younger siblings.9 By providing family interventions and a comprehensive response to the TOP participant's delinquency, a valuable prevention tool will be implemented reducing the likelihood of delinquent or drug related activity on the part of siblings. In developing the treatment model proposed in the TOP, Health Services Department staff and consultant primarily utilized findings from the Probation Department's Intensive Supervision Project and a study conducted by Hawkins, Jenson, Catalano, and Ushner each of which were referenced in the Background and Significance section. In the latter study, Project ADAPT (a research project funded by NIDA) is described. This project calls for a two part intervention consisting of a ten week goal-setting and skill training group that coincides with meetings with the ADAPT case manager. This re-entry preparation aims to increase participants skills for involvement in positive productive activities through: "systematic training in social networking, impulse control, drug refusal, consequential thinking, relapse coping, and problem-solving skills."10 This re-entry preparation is followed by a six month aftercare phase in which the case manager works to: "re integrate the client into the family; provides skill practice and reinforcement; helps the client enroll in school, find a job obtain needed services; assists the client to seek out social activities and develop a supportive social network; and reinforces the clients' development of supportive activities and contacts."11 Essential to successful re-entry is the identification of a "trap" and "hook" for each youth. A trap is the single largest impediment to the youth's successful re-entry--this could be an internal lack of control or an external circumstance, bad influence, or temptation. In contrast, a "hook" is something that is very important to the youth and can be used as a carrot. The Social Worker, Case Manager, Mentor, Peer and Community Support TEAM will work closely to identify a hook and trap for each youth and a fundamental part of the TOP groups will be spent preparing the youth to resist traps and pursue his hook. In a phone interview with Jeffrey Jenson (Hawkins, Catalano, Jenson, and Iishner) information was received concerning the evaluation of Project ADAPT. -A paper discussing the results is due to be published in the Winter issue of Criminal Justice and Behavior. The evaluation reveals that participants scored significantly higher than the control group in the acquisition of skills related to self control, problem solving, and drug and alcohol avoidance. The results also revealed that participants did slightly better in school and in relation to future property related offenses. There was a significant effect upon African American youth in relation to violent offenses. 9 Blumenstein, Farrington, and Moitra, "Delinquent Careers: Innocents, Desisters, Persisters," in Crime and Justice: An Annual Review of Research, vol. 6, ed.

Substance Abuse Dependency in Offenders While demographic information isn't kept on the families of adjudicated youth in Contra Costa County, 60% of these youth are from West County, a generally impoverished community with a population with lower educational attainment, lower incomes, higher instances of AFDC, and extraordinarily high incidence of drug use and drug activity problems. As an area, West County contains the highest number of people in certain "at risk" categories: . . .....:»:..........: ::; .actor ontra:>>nsta<: Dun est: Dunt ...................... People of Color 17.9% 38.9 People Below Poverty 7.5% 12.3% Unemployed 5.8% 7.3% Median Familv Income S26,511 $21,83 Female Heads of House 13.0% 19.0% SOURCE ABAG Census Data In December, 1992 the Interagency Youth Services Board identified census tract neighborhoods in Richmond as the highest concentration of multiple-service using households. Two thirds of all incarcerated youth come from these six census tracts. Interviews with families repeatedly identified that children didn't have anyone outside the home to help them with growing up. The kids joined gangs to find friends. They lacked role models to show them how to be positive adults in this community. Similarly, interviews with the boys themselves revealed the desire for peer counseling and counseling by people who have been in trouble, but made it. They also reflected on the need for recreational services and vocational training. Probation Officers carry such extensive case loads that they can not possibly provide oversight or supervision to adjudicated youth. One officer notes that the probation officer,"...gets the kid and writes the best treatment plan he can and then pushes him off the cliff." West County figures include several moderately affluent bedroom communities and therefore do not fully demonstrate the extent of poverty in other neighborhoods. In the City of Richmond there are two entire zip codes in which virtually 100% of the population are people of color (mostly African American), poor, under-educated, and lacking adequate community services. Justice Department arrest data provides a startling indication of the level of drug use and drug related crime experienced in West County. arrotics:Ar�ests >:>:>: :::>:<::«::>;::;:::: >: »:<:MMM:>:: Fe on Mis emeanorDUI<Arrests <>« . ..:.... ...: ::::::::..::.::::.,:.

While its population is only just under 50% larger than Richmond's, Richmond has over 35 times as many felony narcotics arrests. In contrast, the level of DUI arrests is much more closely proportional to the number of residents in each city. This trend continues throughout a review of statistics on other misdemeanor alcohol and drug offenses, leading to the conclusion that considerable emphasis must be placed on providing drug interventions. Significantly, of the 106 juveniles arrested in Richmond for felony narcotics charges, 97 of them are African American. According to the Department of Justice, 64%of all felony narcotics arrests in Contra Costa County were among Blacks while Blacks comprised only 9%of the county's population. Other indicators of need for drug treatment enhancement in West County include: • In 1988, the Contra Costa County Probation Department estimated that 40 to 50 percent of the juvenile Serious and Violent Offenders will commit further law violations while on probation and many of these had substance abuse problems. • In February of 1990, of 34 wards for which information was available, 15 had been committed to the Byron Boys Ranch twice — five had been committed up to four times (Byron is the County-subsidized minimum security facility). • Sixty-five percent of those committed to Byron had one to three arrests for possession or use of drugs. • In Richmond, an average of one youth per week dies in a drug related killing. Of West County residents whose hospitalization was related to drug use or abuse, four out of every ten had problems related to cocaine. West County residents account for half of all Contra Costa residents hospitalized due to cocaine. Three-fourths of postpartum women were diagnosed as drug dependent in 1988 lived in West County. A.3. Service Delivery Problems for Offenders Despite such a well documented drug problem in West County, there are virtually no county funded drug and alcohol residential treatment options for youth in the community, as revealed by a survey of CAL-DAD data. Nor are there any transitional "re-entry" beds available. .. ........ . ...... .... ..................................... . . . ............ . identW Alcohol & Drug 50-75 0 in West County 0 in West County Treatment SOURCE: CAL-DAD 1990 This table demonstrates the lack of drug and alcohol treatment options in West County which dooms youth to a vicious cycle of failure in which they are placed in locked facilities that provide minimal drug and alcohol treatment services and then released to a community with virtually no support . Compounding the problem is the nationally publicized fiscal plight of the Richmond Unified School District, the public school system serving 90%of West County. Aside from the critical loss of hundreds of teachers, every single counselor and psychologist in the district, and most programs designed to help at-risk youth, the attendant publicity has cast a pall over the community. If ever there were a need for treatment enhancement and expansion, West Contra Costa County qualifies. As noted above, for the African American youth, a negative stigma is attached to living in a residential treatment group home. To many of these youth, group homes represent foster care. The implication being, children placed in foster care do not have parents or families to care for them. When given the choice between group home and Byron Boys Ranch, many of these young people choose Byron Boys Ranch. When a youth with AOD abuse problems from a more affluent neighborhood goes before a judge for sentencing, there are typically a number of advocates in Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA attendance. Parents, teachers, neighbors, clergy may all testify that they feel the youth needs treatment for his problem, and thus treatment would benefit him greater than placement in Byron Boys Ranch. On the other hand, youth from impoverished families often do not have people to advocate for them in the courts and more to the point feel that treatment is "not hip" whereas incarceration is not only accepted but is seen as a status symbol. TOP aims to develop a support group for each youth, consisting of family members, as well as adult and peer mentors, all of whom will advocate for the youth and who will assist in breaking down the negative stereotypes of participating in treatment programs. The 1992-1993 CCC Drug Abuse Program Plan identifies treatment for adolescents as one of the largest unmet needs in the county. The Plan calls for the development of additional beds for residential recovery, treatment for youth at Byron's, as well as re-entry beds for youth who have completed primary recovery. Additionally, the Plan identifies the two greatest barriers for youth seeking drug/alcohol treatment: 1) inadequate linkage with the juvenile justice system, and 2) lack of outreach designed to address cultural barriers. TOP will address these barriers by collaborating with probation and juvenile hall to place West County youth with AOD problems in community based out-patient treatment programs, or in neighboring residential treatment facilities, or in a community based re-entry group home as an alternative to incarceration. TOP will focus on setting up culturally sensitive treatment services specifically aimed at African American young males. AA Relevant Prior Work Contra Costa County has developed an Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) for Serious Offenders residing in East Contra Costa County—a community 40 miles from West County which has a very similar ethnic, economic, crime, and drug usage profile as West County—that has offered considerable promise that an aftercare or re-entry program can reduce recidivism. In September of 1985 a concept paper was submitted by Contra'Costa Countv Department of Probation in collaboration with the Health Services Department, Alcohol Programs, to the Criminal Justice Agency describing this problem. Children were being identified as serious and/or violent offenders and were being committed to County institution programs for intensive, expensive and effective treatment. The juveniles who successfully completed the treatments were then returned to their families, communities and schools under general, non-intensive supervision. Research documented a 40% recidivism rate for these minors within 60 days of release. The ISP program is an example of Contra Costa County's success with collaborative efforts. ISP was a collaboration among Juvenile Hall, Probation, Alcohol Services and its AIRS program, and URSA Institute, virtually the same team proposed for the TOP. A program was designed by the Department of Probation and the Health Services Department and subsequently funded by the Criminal Justice Agency of Contra Costa (CJA) to provide a continuum of treatment from the institution to the community that also incorporates intensive support for the minor upon his release. The program has developed an elaborate "release transition plan," similar to the Re-Entry Plan described in TOP. Before returning the minor to the community, work and school plans were solidified and intensive support and counseling services were developed. Minors were supervised by Deputy Probation Officers (DPO) with reduced caseloads of no more than 20 minors per officer. DPOs met face to face with youth on a weekly basis and made regular contact with schools, family, and places of employment. Additionally, aftercare counseling was provided by the counselors from the Alcohol Information and Rehabilitation Services program (AIRS) of the Health Services Department, Alcohol Programs. In the first year of implementation, recidivism rates dropped from 40% to 1.4%. School enrollment increased 35%. Vocational placement Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA was 25%higher than for those not participating in the program. A second year follow up study revealed similar results. The success of this project has encouraged Probation to work collaboratively with Alcohol Programs, Drug Programs, the Department of Mental Health, the County Office of Education and local businesses, churches, schools, and non-profit organizations in designing an even more innovative and comprehensive treatment and re-entry program for West County adjudicated youth, the Teen Option Program. Another example of the capability of Health Services to develop innovative services for at-risk populations is Critical Populations OTI project, "Taking Back Our Community." Funded in December 1990, this project developed a coalition of local non-profit organizations, the Housing Authority, and County Drug and Alcohol Programs to provide comprehensive substance abuse treatment programs at two Housing Authority projects. These programs offer a wide range of services for a small geographic target area: two housing projects located in East and West Contra Costa County. The programs include substance abuse treatment; aftercare; follow up; family, group and community activities; education and skills training; and case management. Traditionally Housing Authorities have responded to drug problems with police action and eviction. The emphasis of Taking Back Our Community has been to reduce barriers to individuals receiving the educational, preventive, and treatment services that can reduce drug abuse and eliminate the need for evictions. This program has resulted in both housing projects becoming more organized in presenting a community wide response to drug problems. While the primary focus of this program is to address the needs of the adult population, a limited number of our target youth live in Las Deltas Housing Project. The Housing Project Staff will work with TOP staff to collaborate and enhance services to youth in this project. B. Target Populations and Needs Assessment B.1. Target Population & Description of Geographic Service Area Contra Costa County Contra Costa County is located on the northeastern shore of the San Francisco Bay. While Contra Costa's 733 square miles of land make it the ninth smallest of California's 58 counties, it also hold ninth place in the total population size. In the last decade, the population in Contra Costa grew by 22%, from 656,331 in 1980 to 803,732 in 1990. Contra Costa is comprised of several geographically and socioeconomically distinct regions separated by ranges of steep hills with county- wide transportation limited to specific and sometimes narrow corridors. "West County" is primarily urban with a large minority, undereducated, poor population. Manufacturing and petrochemical industries line the shoreline. The western area of Contra Costa County contains much of the County's heavy industry and includes the second largest city of Richmond, as well as residential communities. West County constitutes about 25% of Contra Costa residents and is the most densely populated region of the county. The following table displays the ethnic break down of the County by re ion: v; lthz €ca >»<< :<::><::<:;<: :: '{+Yest » >::» > th.. ..... East Count .. ....> ...... <>,;; :«..... : Co ntv .

The Richmond Public Library program (LEAP) reports a.40% illiteracy rate among adults served. According to 1990 census data, approximately 35%of the families in Richmond/San Pablo lived below the poverty level. Many families here are in trouble. Nearly 17%of the children in Richmond live with neither parent. Child abuse reports are increasing, teen pregnancy rates are increasing, and poverty is increasing. However, these problems are not distributed randomly or evenly throughout the community; they are concentrated in the poorest and most undereducated sectors. Statistics indicate that Richmond by far has the highest concentrations in the County of families using Child Welfare Services and adults on probation. Many of these household use multiple services, including Health, Probation, and Social Services. Increasing Crime Rates: The City of Richmond is particularly troubled. With a population of 87,425, there were 718 youth arrests in 1991, as contrasted to 524 in 1986. This represents a 38% increase. By contrast, the adult arrest rate increased by 3%between those years. This indicates that juvenile crime is increasing at a rate more than 10 times faster than the adult rate, and according to the city's crime analyst, crimes are getting more serious. There are more felonies, more shootings, and more gang-related crimes. The homicide rate has taken a dramatic jump from 40 cases in 1989 to 62 cases in 1991. More automatic weapons are being used, and younger victims are being killed; fifteen of the 62 people killed in 1991 in Richmond were under the age of 18. This means that one out of every four people killed are under that age of 18. Richmond Unified School District: The problems of poverty and delinquency in the neighborhoods surrounding many of Richmond's schools are characteristic of those in cities throughout the country. Many children do not succeed according to the traditional standards of success: intellectual and academic development, vocational skills, emotional maturity, social responsibility, and self-discipline. The city schools score significantly below the state average (the 50th percentile), often in the lowest quartile. The RUSD has seen a marked increase in campus crime, particularly the possession of guns. The County Probation Department reports that 630 school-aged kids in West Contra Costa County are on active probation. An additional 180 are referred to Probation each month, and approximately 20% of these also join the active probation list. Data for the school district may be somewhat skewed, as there are areas of Richmond that do not contain the same levels of severe poverty. For example, the AFDC rate for high schools, is 22%, the AFDC rate for Richmond High School is 52%. In addition, African American male youth account for the largest numbers of youth with truancy, expulsion and drop-out rates. Fully 71%of youth expelled in 1991-92 were African American males; while 46%of school drop outs were African American youth.12 B.2. Specific Target Population To Be Served The target population for the TOP will be West County (City of Richmond and North Richmond), adjudicated, African-American male youth ages 14-17 who are also determined to have a serious drug problem. TOP has defined "serious drug problem" as any youth who while on probation has had a positive urine test, self reports 12 Cities and Schools Task Force. Richmond Unified School District, February 1993 i, � Chuck Deutschman, MFCC - CA having a drug or alcohol problem, or is arrested for a drug related offense while on probation. Approximately 300 bookings occur at Juvenile Hall each month. Of these roughly one third are new bookings and two thirds are repeat offenses. Approximately 60% of these bookings are West County youth. Therefore it can be expected that 120 repeat offense, West County youth will be screened for TOP each month. Of these, 4-5 will be admitted each month. (5x:1 2=60, with 54 children being the target number to be served each year).

The Department of Probation utilizes two residential substance abuse treatment programs in Oakland (Thunder Road) for eight other slots and Our Family in Napa for more slots as needed. But with 106 Felony Narcotics arrests from the City of Richmond alone the existing residential drug treatment slots are inadequate to serve the entire county. West County out-patient services are limited to Neighborhood House North Richmond and Sojourne. NHNR services are limited to youth residing in the Las Deltas project and Sojourne has the capacity to serve 25. As a result, West County youth with serious drug/alcohol problems have very few treatment options and virtually no system of support once they return to their community. Youth with serious alcohol and drug problems from West County are invariably sent to programs that can't treat their drug/alcohol problems adequately, primarily Byron Boys Ranch, a county operated locked facility. Upon release, youth are randomly assigned, with a delay of several weeks before assignment, to a Deputy Probation Officer (DPO) with a caseload of 120+ youth (most of a DPOs time is spent on court ordered investigations and reports). Under such circumstances it is impossible for the DPO to provide case management, family support, or close supervision. Thus, the youth is effectively left unsupervised, returning to precisely the same environment that had contributed to the behavior which brought him into the juvenile justice system. The opportunity to treat a burgeoning drug problem has Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA been lost. The resulting rate of recidivism (40%recidivism within 3 months of release) should not be surprising. As a result of these gaps in services, West County youth with serious drug problems have few legitimate treatment options forcing the Department of Probation to rely upon placement in Byron Boys Ranch which is a locked juvenile detention facility 80 miles from West County with only a modest drug education program. Furthermore, to date, the system has not developed the capacity to work with the families of these youth. Neighborhood House North Richmond Drug Treatment Data 1992 : dolt:>Par cl acts:tn:>:::>::»»: >Rnm Ltru used:>::........:: :>::>;::::>:Pre uen U e,.:........:... ............ rea 80 Crack Dailv 4 Heroin Dailv 1,2 Metham hetimines Dail 5 Marijuana 1 to 3 times/week Source: Neighborhood House North Richmond NHNR originally received OTI funding to provide drug treatment for adults, and although they have been providing intervention for high risk youth, they have just recently begun providing treatment for juveniles. Thus, statistics on drug use for youth are small. During the past year, NHNR has provided treatment for 5 juveniles. Of these, 4 were daily crack users and one placed in treatment for marijuana sales. In addition to primary drug use problems, a majority of the clients that NHNR work with have secondary problems abusing alcohol. Currently approximately 60% of the Probation Department's intakes originate from West Contra Costa County, yet West County comprises only 25% of Contra Costa County's population. While a continuum of services exist for youth without serious drug problems, critical gaps in residential treatment and outpatient service options exist for West County children with drug problems. As demonstrated in Section B, Deputy Probation Officers charged with making placement recommendations are left with few options. Inadequate intake and assessment procedures make it difficult to identify youth who would most benefit from drug treatment services. While community resources do exist, they operate in isolation rather than collaborating with the juvenile justice and alcohol and drug program systems. Finally, potential untapped resources from within the family and extended personal network of the youth are under-utilized due to the failure to identify these resources. These are the very resources which are needed to sustain a cohesive and coordinated system of care (health, mental health, substance abuse treatment). The most fundamental barriers to the use of available prosocial opportunities and therapeutic support services is the youth's own denial of the need for these services and the prevailing drug culture in the community. The development of a comprehensive Individual Services Plan (ISP) where prosocial activities are combined with the provision of a strong follow through component (Social Worker and Case Manager), outpatient counseling (Treatment Specialist) and formalized support from the Mentor and Peer are designed to break down denial and facilitate youth involvement with those resources that are available. Health Indicators Health statistics are not broken down by age for each area of the County, however, implications can be drawn from the data which is available and anecdotal reports. TB is on the rise in Contra Costa County with 117 cases being reported in 1992 of which 60%were from West County. In the first six months of 1990, 668 patients were seen in the Richmond health clinic, 158 of the males tested positive for STD's. Significantly, Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA 65%of the all the cases (County wide) of Penicillin resistant gonorrhea were from West County. West County also had the highest proportion of primary, secondary and early latent syphilis out distancing the other areas of the County by margins of two to one to ten to one. The good news is that in 1991, of the 554 teenagers who voluntarily took a test for HIV none were found to be infected. However, the Health Department notes that, "HN infection is only a few steps behind other STD infections and the rates of STD infections suggest a serious risk for HIV among Contra Costa teenagers, many of whom are clearly not using condoms to avoid infections."13 The numbers of children being born HIV positive are also on the rise with 51% being African American. BA Data Sources Used The Department of Probation is committed to refining their data collection procedures to obtain information on Juvenile Hall residents and their family. An indicator of that commitment is the independent survey just completed of adjudicated youth. The survey sought information pertaining both to drug and alcohol usage, indicators of family functioning, and socio-economic information, as well as feedback as to the relative difficulty of seeking and obtaining a variety of health and While human services prior to arrest. We the results of this survey are just now being tabulated and therefore were not available for this proposal, the results will provide important baseline information that can be used in program planning and evaluation. As part of the Probation Department's commitment to obtaining more extensive data on its charges and their families, the following information will be collected during intake processing: family alcohol use, income, employment, participation in assistance programs (food stamps, AFDC), and educational attainment. A family attitudes survey will assess family management practices, attitudes toward education, employment, alcohol and drug usage, and other risk factor variables. These figures will be used as baseline data for the evaluation of the program. Participants in TOP and their families will receive the same attitude survey when the youth ends his supervised involvement in the TOP. The Data Sources used in this narrative are: • CAL-DAD 1990 • Department of Justice 1989 • ABAG 1990 • Interagency Youth Services Board Survey 1991 • Department of Justice Statistics • Richmond Unified School District Data • Byron Boys Ranch Population Study • Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall Population Study • Contra Costa County Alcohol Program Plan ,1992-93 • Contra Costa County Drug Program Plan, 1992-93 C. Goals and Objectives The goals articulated below are precisely those of the announcement. Throughout the proposal, reference is made to youths malting a "successful re-entry" from treatment. A "successful re-entry" is defined as a re-entry into the community in which the youth successfully avoids the use of drugs or alcohol and involvement in criminal activity while developing a network of sustainable prosocial outlets and activities. The proposed administrative and structural changes reflect the continuum of care proposed in CSAT's Comprehensive Care Continuum. Specific, 13 Memo to Wendel Brunner, Director of Public Health from Juan Reardon, November, 1992. r Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA measurable objectives are designed to measure progress toward achievement of TOP goals (and by extension, of CSAT program goals). The target population for the Teen Option Program is adjudicated West County African American boys age 14-17, who have a demonstrated, serious drug or alcohol problem. A "serious drug problem" is defined as any boy who, while on probation, has a positive urine test revealing drug usage, is arrested for a drug related offense, or self-refers himself. The following goals are taken from page 3 of the Program Announcement. The objectives operationalize those goals into specific outcome and process objectives which are meaningful to the local community. The goals reflect the programs design of a comprehensive continuum of services which address each individual's needs--biological, psychological, social and economic. The primary goals of the TOP are to provide a continuum of culturally relevant, gender specific services which will: Goal #1: TOP will enhance substance abuse treatment built on state-of-the-art knowledge in order to maximize diversion to treatment and improved treatment outcomes for a non incarcerated juvenile justice population. Objective 1.1: improve treatment outcomes in residential settings by having 50% of the youth successfully complete their six month treatment regime. Objective 1.2: for those youth who remain in the community by having 50% of the youth successfully complete their six month out-patient treatment program and achieve 75% of their individual service plan objectives. Objective 1.3: decrease substance abuse in 50% of they outh as determined by clean urine tests over the six month period of their participation in the program Goal #2: Develop documented models of service delivery which can be replicated in other juvenile justice systems. Objective 2.1: Reduce the case load of the DPO assigned to work with these youth from 120 to 54 and increase the support network available to the DPO by providing a comprehensive treatment continuum. Objective 2.2: increase the capacity of the West Contra Costa community to identify, recruit, integrate, and coordinate resources and services that will support the target population's individual service plan by establishing a Mentor and Peer Program to support the youth and his family; coordinate and build on existing services available in the community through the work of the Vocational Job Developer/Outreach Worker. Objective 2.3: to create a Community Re-Entry Board consisting of representatives from the public and private sector which will be responsible for garnering local community resources necessary to establishing a comprehensive system of local treatment and support for youth participating in the project. Objective 2.4: URSA Institute will conduct and document a thorough process evaluation designed to provide similar communities with both procedural, policy, and operational guidelines for replicating TOP. Objective 2.5: URSA will produce an outcome evaluation assessing the treatment outcomes for clients participating in TOP. Objective 2.6: The TOP Project Coordinator will produce a publication comprised of assessment tools, questionnaires, intake forms, summary of support groups topics and structure, organizational charts and flow charts, procedure and policy manuals, job descriptions, and evaluation results. Goal #3: Reduce rates of incarceration in juvenile facilities. Objective 3.1: decrease criminal activity, violent acts, and recidivism, in 75% of the youth as determined by reduced recidivism in the courts, thereby reducing involvement in the justice system. Goal #4: Develop linkages between jail-based substance abuse treatment with community-based treatment and supervision. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Objective 4.1: to create a coordinated system of intake, interdisciplinary assessment, and referral to divert clients who have been arrested into programs which will address their substance abuse, justice, and health problems. Objective 4.2: to fill critical gaps in primary treatment options available to West County boys by enhancing and expanding the capacity of existing service providers to meet the needs of the target population. Objective 4.3: to create an interdisciplinary TOP staff responsible for coordinating a collaboration among the juvenile justice system (Juvenile Court, Juvenile Hall, Department of Probation,), Drug and Alcohol service providers, and community based service providers that deliver comprehensive treatment and aftercare services. Goal #5: Foster efforts to expand diversion to treatment and community supervision/treatment for non-incarcerated populations. Objective 5.1: increase rates of legal employment by having 50% of the youth 16 and over employed in meaningful work half time, and by establishing linkages with the East Bay Conservation Corps Summer of Service Program. Objective 5.2: increase social and psychological functioning among 75%of the target population by providing them with a variety of prosocial activities and out-patient counseling opportunities. Objective 5.3: generally improve health status in 75%of the youth by providing health screening exams; TB, HN, and STD testing and treatment, as well as other general health and nutrition information. Objective 5.4: decrease high risk behaviors, especially around issues of HIV, AIDS, STD's, etc., in 75%of the youth by offering testing and counseling services in a gender specific and culturally relevant manner. This collaboration between the Departments of Probation, Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Programs, and West County service providers will provide result in significant improvement in the treatment options available to West County boys by: • establishing a range of out-patient treatment options for boys with alcohol and/or other drug problems including a comprehensive continuum of culturally appropriate treatment options beginning with on-site services at Juvenile Hall followed by an intensive out-patient treatment program (Individual Service Plan) that includes three times a week group therapy meetings, family counseling and Black Parenting Training; • for those boys who are not successful in the out-patient treatment program, court mandated referral to a residential program will be provided, family involvement in these programs will facilitate graduating youths re-entry into a group home within the community and will provide transitional services before release to the home under supervised probation; • increasing the availability of prevention services, job training opportunities, and positive school and community experiences by enlisting and coordinating local private sector resources to offer a range of positive alternatives for boys returning to the community; • providing in-home, individual and family counseling, relapse prevention counseling, support groups, and case management services. • linking these youth to medical services provided through Neighborhood House North Richmond via their weekly three hour medical clinic, which provides testing for TB and basic physicals and in collaboration with the CAL-PEP mobile health van testing for HIV, STD's and TB. The Individual Service Plans will be documented by a MIS system developed by URSA Institute, The MIS system provides the family, DPO and other providers with a linked structure to evaluate and assess each clients progress through the treatment continuum. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA D. Approach/Method D.1. Mission and Treatment Philosophy The Substance Abuse Division of Contra Costa County, working in collaboration with the Justice System and private non-profit treatment agencies believes that early intervention with this target population has the greatest chance of success. These adolescents and teenagers have clearly indicated drug problems, but they are not so far involved in either the criminal justice system or drug dependency that the problems are irreversible. By catching them early and providing intensive services in their own community change can be affected on both the individual and community level. Involving, trained treatment specialists, social workers and case managers with lay people from the community, (Mentors and peer counselors) in a Team will assure that each client has sufficient support, structure and an individualized service plan aimed at achieving the goals detailed in this proposal. D.2. Identification and Engagement, Intake and Assessment Identification Clients will have been referred to the TOP program by the TOP DPO at Juvenile Hall. The Assessment Specialist (Children's Home Society) will complete the initial evaluation of the youth and his family and will review the criterion for selection to the program which include: probationary status (i.e. previous criminal or status offense), positive urine sample while on probation, arrest for drug related offense while on probation. Other factors to be weighed in determining eligibility include: level of family functioning and extent of previous criminal and drug activity. It is the intent of the TOP to accept those youth who can be diverted from the criminal justice system and into a community based treatment program. The Teen Option Program Service Continuum (as reflected in Appendix IV) shows the alternate routes a youth might take after entry into Juvenile Hall and initial screening by the Assessment Specialist. The Assessment Specialist will refer eligible youth to the Assessment Team. The Team in conjunction with the youth and his family will develop an individual service plan. If the youth opts for the intensive six month out-patient and probation plan he will be released to his own home (or initially to the re-entry group home for 30-60 days). If the youth is successful for the duration of the six months of treatment and probation his probation ends and he may choose to act as a Peer for the next group of youth coming through the program. If he experiences "treatment failure" (has dirty urine, is rearrested, etc.) he will be given the choice of entering residential treatment, followed by a stay at the re-entry group home and a second try in the out-patient TOP program, or he may choose to "do his time" at Byron Boys Ranch. If he is successful at the Ranch he will be released to supervised probation. If he experiences failure while at the Ranch he will receive a court mandated referral to residential treatment, transitioned to the re-entry group home and finally returned home for ongoing probation and participation in TOP. While in out-patient treatment the Assessment Specialist and Case Manager will work to develop a reunification plan which might include short term placement in a re- entry group home. Involvement The District Attorney and the courts have agreed to allow the TOP probation officer to make the determination that informal probation be the preferred choice for these youth. Informal probation is one of the three choices available to the DPO. The DPO may review the case and take no adjudicatory action and refer the youth to TOP; he may use what is know as a 654 Plan or informal probation and refer to TOP; or he may refer the case to the DA for prosecution. The DA in turn, may choose not to file charges and as part of a pre-sentence arrangement refer the youth to TOP or he may move to trial where as part of the probation report a referral to TOP is made. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA The youth will be provided with the choice of detention at Byron Boys Ranch for periods typically ranging from six months to one year, without the possibility of parole or involvement in the TOP six month out-patient treatment program. If they choose to participate in TOP, a plan developed conjointly by the TOP DPO, the youth, his family and the Assessment Specialist will be developed. Securing the youth's voluntary buy-in is important. This will be achieved by involving his family, the Mentor, and Peer in the development of his plan and by incorporating the "hook" into the plan. If a clearly articulated and well supported plan can be presented to the youth through which his most important prosocial goal/interest (the hook) seems obtainable, this will operate as a powerful incentive to obtain voluntary buy-in. For example, if the youth has a pronounced interest in theater and the TEAM can present him with a plan for involvement in the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, e.g. a TEAM member is recruited who is a member of a theater company, etc., the prospect of actually being able to achieve something in theater will seem real and possible. In short, the youth will have something other than drugs to which he can say, "yes." Similarly constituted plans and TEAMS will be developed for youth interested in cars, athletics, the church, etc. The Vocational Development/Outreach Coordinator will make efforts to develop donations of tickets to sporting and racing events, theater, musical, and artistic activities, and other such events to be offered as incentives/rewards for youth fulfilling their re-entry contract. Of course, the reward for each youth would be selected to reinforce his interest in the "hook." D.3. Treatment Components and Modalities Intake and Assessment Attachment IV provides a client flow chart for the TOP. To better visualize how the various components of the treatment model interface, see the TOP Service Continuum in Attachment IV. Each will prove useful in understanding how, when and by whom assessments and services will be delivered. a) Specific Modalities Used in Case Management and Tracking The point of entry into the TOP will be an intake interview conducted by the Assessment Specialist assigned to the TOP. This interview will be conducted at Juvenile Hall within three working days of arrest and represents the first component of a comprehensive assessment designed to identify the youth's most immediate needs and the most appropriate treatment modality. The purpose of the initial interview is to: • gather information relevant to determining the least restrictive, most appropriate available treatment (family history, drug usage, previous criminal activity, educational attainment and interests, socio-economic information, vocational interests and qualifications); • identify if a comprehensive psychological or psychiatric assessment is indicated; • identify any entitlement programs or benefits for which the youth (and family) may qualify; • identify pre-existing sources of support in the community: potential Mentor, Peer, and other Re-Entry TEAM members; • identify at least one "hook"--an interest or goal that could motivate the youth to remain out of trouble while participating in the out-patient treatment portion of the program or once he has re-entered his community; • identify the major trouble spot for the youth—the one external temptation or internal weakness that represents the greatest threat to the youth's efforts to be successful in the community; • orient the youth to the options available in the TOP and encourage his involvement in developing his community based or residential treatment re- entry plan; b) Health Assessment Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Within hours of intake into juvenile Hall, the youth are seen by a nurse and provided a medical screening to identify any immediate medical needs. Most routine medical services are administered at juvenile Hall. More acute services are referred to County Hospital (Merrithew) a mile away. Comprehensive medical follow up is coordinated by the Children's Health Disability Program. This includes full STD testing, nutritional assessments, etc. HN testing, AIDS counseling education is provided by Contra Costa County AIDS Program Services. Free anonymous testing is offered. All clients receive pre- and post-test counseling and risk reduction information. Counseling is also offered in Spanish. AIDS case management services provide emotional support, respite, attendant care, transportation, food and housing assistance and bereavement counseling. Support groups are offered to people with AIDS/ARC, spouses/family members of people with AIDS, and HN men and women's groups. The AZT/Pentamidine Distribution Program provides financial assistance for persons who meet federal requirements. Upon completion of the preliminary screening and intake, the Assessment Specialist will prepare a preliminary report for review by the entire Assessment Team. The Assessment Team will be comprised of the DPO, a TOP Case Manager, the supervising Treatment Specialist from Sojourne, a Mental Health Program Specialist and a representative from the Richmond Unified School District. The team will review the information obtained in the interview, as well as other pertinent records (previous arrests, school-employment record, etc.). If a psychiatric or psychological assessment is required, then it will be done prior to the Team's making any recommendations. A report will be sent to the Re-Entry Board requesting it to assist in identifying specific resources to support the youth in remaining in the community and appropriate community representatives on his Community Support TEAM (TEAM) will be recruited. Once all relevant data is collected, the Team will make a formal recommendations to eligibility to enter the TOP. Every effort will be made to have the youth voluntarily agree to this plan, however, West County youth are very often in denial and are afraid of drug treatment programs. By structuring the intervention as a choice between incarceration without the possibility of parole or participating in community-based treatment and committing to participating in prosocial and other activities (vocational, recreational, recovery, etc.) the youth is provided an incentive to deal with his denial. One strategy which TOP is employing to facilitate this process is "re-languaging" the way TOP is presented to the youth. That is, instead of describing TOP as a "treatment program" it will be discussed as a "diversion program". With this in mind, the youth may be more easily engaged in the planing process. Both the treatment and re-entry plan are developed with input from the youth, his family, a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, and the Re-Entry Board. The Assessment Specialist will meet with the Case Manager, the youth and his family to develop a individual service plan which will include measurable objectives in relation to education; prosocial activities; vocational training; family functioning and community diversion (drug treatment). Hence, the plan will enjoy the full support of both the juvenile Court and the Department of Probation. This plan will be revised over the course of treatment to incorporate specific treatment objectives developed by the youth in collaboration with the Case Manager and his TEAM. c) Plans to Ensure a Comprehensive Array of Services Residential Treatment and Re-Fntry Thunder Road is a subsidiary of Merrit Peralta Institute (a private non-private agency) providing drug and alcohol prevention, education and residential treatment to teenagers and their families. Located in Oakland and in operation since 1987, Thunder Road has developed a unique program of intensive short term treatment. It is licensed as a Chemical Dependency Recovery Hospital and as a Group Home and is Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA accredited by JCAH. Thunder Road serves approximately 43 teenagers at one time in their residential program. Contra Costa County's Department of Substance Abuse has contracted with Thunder since its inception for 8 beds for children referred by Juvenile Probation or Social Services. . Our Family, Inc. in Napa is private non-profit provider of residential treatment programs for adolescent males suffering from problems related to substance abuse, parental abuse, molest issues and other behavioral and emotional disorders. The program offers 34 beds licensed as a Group Home and certified as treatment service beds by the State Department of AOD. The program provides a nurturing environment where teenagers may learn behavioral controls, develop self-esteem, learn the value of abstinence from drugs and develop realistic goals for re-entry into the community. Among the full range of treatment modalities employed by Our Family is a strong Twelve Step program. Children's Home Society of California was founded in 1891 to assist homeless children. This non-profit agency has been a pioneer in the field of child welfare and today work with all types of at risk children. CHS Corporate offices are located in Los Angeles but they have 20 offices and 10 group homes located throughout the State including one in Contra Costa County (Sherman House). Together they serve over 10,000 children annually. CHS indicated committed to opening a new 6-8 bed re-entry group home to serve the TOP program youth. This home would be licensed be the State Department of Social Services. Our Family in Napa and Thunder Road have extensive experience providing recovery programs for adolescents coming from urban, ethnic, at-risk communities. Thus, TOP will have important treatment options: the ability to remove the youth from the community temporarily or maintain his linkages in the community and receive out-patient treatment in the West County community. For those youth who would benefit from being removed temporarily, the existence of a re-entry group home will offer the option of returning to the community with the support of a residential recovery-oriented program located in the community. Thus an effective continuum of residential drug and alcohol programs will be established. Outpatient Counseling. Case Management and Family SuRport Services Outpatient counseling and family support services will be provided through a collaborative effort of public and non-profit subcontracts. Sojourne Community Counseling Center is a program of the Contra Costa County Health Services Department. Sojourne provides a wide range of treatment interventions including: family groups; individual and family counseling; adolescent rap/activity groups peer counseling and information and referral. For the TOP program Sojourne will provide a .5 FTE Treatment Supervisor to oversee the two FTE Treatment Specialists (one located at Sojourne and one at NHNR). The Treatment Supervisor recommends procedures for the counseling of the clients and provides supervision of the staff and volunteers. They also evaluate the progress of clients towards goals and the need for referrals to other programs. The Treatment Counselors provide individual, group and family counseling to youth such as conducting assessments, crisis intervention, and other treatment interventions. Youth Services Bureau (YSB) will take the lead and will provide the Social Worker (1 FTE) who will coordinate the family support services. The Social Worker will supervise the work of the Case Managers (2 FTE) one located in YSB the other located in Neighborhood House North Richmond (NHNR). At both sites, services will be enhanced by two, 24 hour a week graduate interns. Treatment Services will be provided by the Treatment Coordinator (.5 FTE) from Sojourne and Treatment Specialists (1 FTE Sojourne and 1 FTE NHNR). Each brings unique and important qualities to the project, not the least of which is an ethnically diverse staff, well established track records for working effectively Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA with at-risk, drug using adolescents, and the pre-existing respect of the local community. The role of these treatment teams is not only to provide the outpatient counseling and family support services described below, but also to link the youth with Community Support TEAMS. . All TOP participants (residential and diversion) will participate in weekly group sessions with the Case Manager. During the group sessions, other TOP participants will be able to share their experiences, successes, and frustrations. These groups will have a definite two-part structure, largely borrowed from the Project ADAPT model. The first counseling group will consist of a ten week goal setting and skill training curriculum. Among the skills that will be practiced: consequential thinking, impulse control, avoiding trouble, social networking, relapse coping, coping with authority, and problem solving. Goal areas will include: home/placement, school/work, skill generalization and maintenance, prosocial activities, prosocial relationships, and seeking and receiving appropriate services. Each youth will develop his own specific goals in relation to each of the goal categories. These goals will build upon the treatment goals developed upon intake. Group discussion will allow for personal exploration of both skill and goal development. Building on the Afro-centric model discussed earlier, TOP will utilize African-American focal groups to help develop healthy self-concept among participants. "By participating in a well directed African-American group in treatment, patients are able to receive maximum benefits from overall treatment."14 The skill training curriculum will be structured into five modules of two weeks each to allow for new participants to join the group every other week rather than having to wait until the end of a ten week cycle. This modular structure will also ensure that the group will always have a mix of participants at different stages of recovery. In addition to recovery Curricula and skill training, participants will be provided with Rites of Passage training. With all these different services and options, the Social Worker will play the pivotal role. Meetings between the Social Worker and the youth will be held on alternate weeks. The primary purpose of these meetings will be to assess whether services are being delivered and utilized appropriately and to encourage the youth to continue the effort. On the basis of information obtained both in group and individual meetings, the Social Worker might alert the Case Manager of an emerging problem, or as appropriate, the Mentor, Peer, or some other member of the youth's TEAM. The Vocational Developer/Outreach Coordinator will seek to create linkages with various service options in the community such as the East Bay Conservation Corps Summer of Service program. Time allowing, the Social Worker will schedule additional individual meetings during periods when a youth is in crisis or conflict. The individual session will also be utilized to review progress on the treatment plan, discuss problems that the youth is encountering, and provide encouragement and reinforcement for the objectives that are being achieved. After the first group of successful TOP graduates has successfully completed their treatment program and they have concluded informal probation, they will be invited to group counseling meetings to share the rewards of being a contributing member of their community. Over time, as the number of successful 'alumni' grows, pairing a successful alumnus with a newly released TOP participant will be possible, providing a valuable role model. Incorporating an alumnus into the Community Support TEAM will serve two purposes. It will provide another positive peer role model who can speak from the same experience as the new TOP participant, thereby cutting through the youth's denial. Secondly, it will reinforce the alumnus own recovery as he accepts responsibility for modeling prosocial behavior. The Mentor Trainer (Center 14Richardson and Williams, 1990. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA for Human Development) will be responsible for maintaining contact with TOP graduates and linking successful alumni with appropriate youth. Each Case Manager will supervise approximately 13-14 youth at any given time. The TEAM Adult Mentor will maintain regular phone contact with other TEAM members to review how the participant is doing. There will be frequent communication between the Mentor and Case Manager. In addition to providing intake, assessment, outpatient, and residential services, the TOP will seek to create a new set of social influences that will support positive behavior changes made as a result of residential or out-patient treatment. From the initial intake interview and assessment, the TOP will involve the youth in considering future options, developing and continually revising a written individual service plan that will create specific performance objectives related to positive social relations, greater involvement in church or community activities, volunteerism, school attendance, employment preparation, and meeting family and personal management goals. These objectives will be incorporated into a formal Contract designed by the Assessment Specialist and the youth and approved by the DPO. An essential component of the support services is the Re-Entry Board comprised of a wide variety of West County leaders of business, schools, churches, service providers, and community organizations. This Re-Entry Board (REB) will work collaboratively with the TOP Outreach Coordinator to develop a comprehensive resource list of individuals and organizations who have committed to supporting the TOP in general and individual youths, as appropriate. The Vocational Developer/Outreach Coordinator will be a staff position with Neighborhood House North Richmond. In recruiting this Board, NHNR will be aided by a pre-existent community partnership that has devoted itself to developing a county-wide drug and alcohol plan. With five years of funding secured from OSAP, this planning group has gathered concerned representatives from every sector of the community. Even prior to receiving OSAP funding this group successfully promoted a County Wide Action Plan that was placed on the ballot and passed by almost 80% of the voters. Access to this pool of committed leaders and their organizations will greatly facilitate recruitment of members to the REBs and the other community roles described in this proposal. If youth are to learn to say "no" to drugs and crime, they must be provided with healthy alternatives to which they can say "yes." While West County has precious few healthy alternatives to which a youth can say "yes," the community has developed a number of community involvement programs designed to provide a community-wide response to drugs and violence. For example, a system of"block captains" has been established in the most at-risk neighborhoods. This system encourages the silent and intimidated majority of law abiding citizens to organize and oppose the violent minority of drug pushers trying to dominate their neighborhoods. Linked to this system of block captains is the development of Neighborhood Youth Councils which organize youth and channel them into prosocial activities, community improvement projects, etc. Another opportunity for youth to become involved in prosocial opportunities is PACT (described earlier). The Outreach Coordinator with support from the REB, will be responsible for recruiting and developing more such prosocial options. The Case Manager will be responsible for linking TOP youth with these options. The attached MOU's (see Appendix IV) describe an impressive start at forging a range of prosocial options for TOP youth. Using this as a start, the REB and Outreach Coordinator will collaborate in recruiting more community involvement to assure that the Case Manager and Assessment Team has adequate community resources to offer youth a variety of healthy alternatives to drug and crime related activities. Upon initial intake and assessment each youth will have a Community Support Team (TEAM) developed collaboratively by the DPO, Case Manager, the family, Re- Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Entry Board, and the youth himself. This TEAM will be headed by an adult Mentor who has demonstrated a sincere interest in the rehabilitation of the youth. Unlike most mentoring programs that attempt to recruit volunteers from the community to work with youth with whom they have no pre-existing relationship, TOP will recruit mentors who are already involved with the youth. Probation Officers report that invariably there is at least one adult who cares deeply about the youth, but feels impotent to oppose the prevailing drug culture. This Mentor could be a family member, neighbor, church leader, employer, or any other individual who is willing to commit to the task of maintaining contact with the youth several times a week and maintaining phone contact with a number of other individuals involved in the youth's re-entry plan (family, peers, school, work, etc.). The TOP will link the Mentor with existing community resources, other members of the Community Support TEAM, and back his effort to help the youth. The Mentor will function as the TEAM Leader and will be responsible for routine contact with the Case Manager, Peer, and DPO. The Mentor will receive family management/youth supervision training from the Center For Human Development. Throughout the youth's residential placement or in the early stages of his diversion, he will meet with the Mentor, Peer, and Case Manager to develop the written Contract. Consequences for non-compliance will be determined on a case- by-case basis, but may include: extension of the length of participation in the TOP, adjustment and strengthening of reporting requirements, placement in a more restrictive setting like Byron Boys Ranch. This Contract will consist of performance objectives concerning, school, home, peers, community involvement and work, if appropriate. Finally, prior to the youths return to the community, the Assessment Specialist will meet at least twice in the home of his family (or the home to which he will return upon completion of residential treatment) to assess its ability to support the youth's re-entry. Wherever possible, the Assessment Specialist will suggest family management strategies that will provide better support and supervision of the youth. Throughout the treatment process, the Case Manager will make routine home visits and phone contact. If the Assessment Specialist determines that the family is too dysfunctional to maintain control of the youth,.alternative plans will be discussed with the family, Social Worker, DPO and TEAM Mentor. Among the options are placement in a Children's Home Society re-entry group home, referral to weekly family therapy, more intensive involvement of the Adult Mentor in supervising the youth, or a residential placement. If the Assessment Specialist determines that one or more family members are abusing drugs or alcohol they will refer them to one of the adult treatment programs where they will receive priority for service or if the problem is around issues of parenting the family will be referred to Black Parenting training. While the intensive treatment and counseling component of TOP will extend for only 26 weeks diversion, it is expected that the linkages made by the youth through the TEAM will continue well beyond the 26 week period. These linkages will continue to reinforce involvement in a network of prosocial activities at work, school, home, recreational programs, and with the broader community. DA Linkages with Service Providers Contra Costa County Health Services Alcohol and Drug Programs are mandated by the State of California to coordinate all alcohol and drug services for the County. This is carried out by managing a continuum of cost-effective community based services ranging from prevention to acute care. All residential and most outpatient services are provided by private non-profit agencies on a contract basis. All programs must submit quarterly reports on client demographic data and an annual report on the program's goals and objectives. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA A core group of local service providers offers quality services on which to build. These agencies have collaborated extensively in the past, meet routinely in a number of county and regional planning forums, and enjoy the support and respect of the local population. The following service providers operate in West County or otherwise serve the population. Each will play a significant role in the TOP as funded contractors or as important referral sources that will provide services while being funded from other sources: Las Deltas Housing Development OTI "Taking.Our Community Back": Funded in 1990, this project provides comprehensive drug and alcohol education, prevention, and treatment services to the Las Deltas Housing Development in Richmond. This project has been serving some of the proposed TOP target population. They have just submitted a renewal application. No CSAT funds from this proposal will be utilized by Las Deltas. Neighborhood House North Richmond (NHNR): Founded in 1950 by members of the American Friends Service Committee. Since inception, the goals of NHNR have been to bring about effective community involvement, preserve cultural values, and reinforce individual self-confidence. NHNR currently employs 29+ staff and has an annual budget close to $1,000,000. In addition to substance abuse treatment (offered since 1974) NHNR provides services to senior citizens, youth drug education, recreation services, community outreach and a drinking driver program. Need to add section on drug treatment. They are a crucial participant in the CSAT program and will contract to provide one Case Manager, one Treatment Specialist, one Vocational Developer/Outreach Coordinator and two Graduate Interns for the TOP program. Youth Services Bureau (YSB): An outgrowth of the West Contra Costa County Consortium for Children, YSB has been operating since 1983. It is a comprehensive youth service delivery system designed to improve the coordination of services to children, youth, and families. One of YSB's major contributions to the West County service delivery system is their role as convener of a comprehensive assessment team that involves Children's Home Society, Operation Stay-in-School, local law enforcement, Richmond Unified School District and John Swett School District, and the Departments of Mental Health, Probation, and Social Services. YSB served 1296 clients during the last fiscal year: 59% African American, 28%White, 7% Hispanic, 2%Asian American, and 4%other. 38% of clients received clinical assessments and therapeutic services, 46% received case management services, 12% received in-home support, and 4%were served through group counseling. All of Youth Services Bureau clients reside in West County, most in Richmond and San Pablo. YSB will provide the Social Worker who will supervise all of the cases across agency lines, one Case Manager, and two Graduate Interns. Soiourne Community Counseling Center Sojourne Community Counseling Center is a program of the Contra Costa County Health Services Department. Sojourne provides a wide range of treatment interventions including: family groups; individual and family counseling; adolescent rap/activity groups peer counseling and information and referral. Center for Human Development has been developing and implementing community health promotion programs in the Bay Area since 1972. As a leader in developing partnerships with individuals, families and communities they are able to build networks of people who share skills, knowledge and resources with on another. CHD is also a leader in the field of training people to serve in the roles of Mentor and Peer. CHD will provide the Peer Counselor/Mentoring Coordinator. Thunder Road is a subsidiary of Merrit Peralta Institute (a private non-private agency) providing drug and alcohol prevention, education and residential treatment to teenagers and their families. Located in Oakland and in operation since 1987, Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Thunder Road has developed a unique program of intensive short term treatment. It is licensed as a Chemical Dependency Recovery Hospital and as a Group Home and is accredited by JCAH. Thunder Road serves approximately 43 teenagers at one time in their residential program. Contra Costa County's Department of Substance Abuse has contracted with Thunder since its inception for 8 beds for children referred by Juvenile Probation or Social Services. Our Family. Inc. in Napa is private non profit provider of residential treatment programs for adolescent males suffering from problems related to substance abuse, parental abuse, molest issues and other behavioral and emotional disorders. The program offers 34 beds licensed as a Group Home and certified as treatment service beds by the State Department of AOD. The program provides a nurturing environment where teenagers may learn behavioral controls, develop self-esteem, learn the value of abstinence from drugs and develop realistic goals for re-entry into the community. Among the full range of treatment modalities employed by Our Family is a strong Twelve Step program. Children's Home Society of California was founded in 1891 to assist homeless children. This non-profit agency has been a pioneer in the field of child welfare and today work with all types of at risk children. CHS Corporate offices are located in Los Angeles but they have 20 offices and 10 group homes located throughout the State including one in Contra Costa County (Sherman House). Together they serve over 10,000 children annually. CHS has indicated committed to opening a new 6-8 bed re- entry group home to serve the TOP program youth. Despite the range of services noted above and the substantial services provided by Contra Costa Health Services, Drug and Alcohol Programs (the sub applicant) which represent a core treatment continuum that has operated for more than one year, the continuum requires both enhancement and expansion to be equipped to respond to the extraordinary number of youth with serious substance abuse problems in West County. D.S. Attention to Population Differences The largest West County minority group are African Americans and the TOP program has chosen to focus solely on this population. Youth Services Bureau staff are primarily African American and have a long history of working in the African American Community. Neighborhood House North Richmond has a diverse staff with the ability to meet the needs of several different populations. All of the programs to be used as referral sources for other support services were selected, at least in part, because of previous history working in West County, specifically with minority populations. Since much of the TOP staff is yet to be hired, procedures have been developed to ensure that those directing the project are also representative of the population to be served. A hiring committee will consist of representatives from the participating agencies and Contra Costa County Health Services and staff will consist primarily of people of color. Finally, the inclusion of Mentors, Peers, and other members of the Community Support TEAM is designed to ensure that the youth's treatment plans are supported by and even designed, in part, by members of the same cultural, linguistic, and ethnic background. E. Evaluation Plan The evaluation for the proposed project will be conducted by the URSA Institute of San Francisco, California. A complete corporate capability and letter of commitment from the URSA Institute are found in Appendix VI, Document 9. The URSA Institute has a full complement of ethnic minority and culturally sensitive staff members. Staff members of the URSA Institute also have extensive experience in the evaluation of substance abuse, tobacco, mental health, AIDS, and public health programs. (Resumes of URSA Institute staff are found in Appendix VI, Document 9. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA E.1. Evaluation Design The evaluation will have a longitudinal, interrupted time series design, following successive cohorts of youths through the treatment process. Pre/post measures of attitudes and behavior will be taken to indicate changes in program clients. The overall evaluation will include both process and outcome components. E.2. Process Evaluation The process evaluation is intended to understand the manner in which the project was conducted, including problems encountered in planning, organizing, and implementation. The process evaluation will determine the extent to which the project's stated goals and objectives were accomplished, the manner in which they were accomplished, and will document the barriers and/or facilitators to accomplishment. Documentation of changes or additions made in the delivery of the program will enable the evaluators to review what actually happened with the program and will allow the model to be refined for replication for other organizations. Types of treatment services provided to clients as a result of CSAT funding will be monitored in several ways. The Project Director will train staff to carefully document the types of services they provide to clients (case management, individual and group counseling, mentoring, etc.), to whom and in what numbers. The numbers of clients coming into treatment will be documented and tracked through TOP's computerized management information system (MIS) from the point of intake through follow-up. The process evaluation will be conducted using several methods. First, evaluation staff will interview key actors directly or indirectly involved in the project. Second, evaluators will develop or adapt relevant data collection forms, including client records. Third, evaluators will attend all relevant planning and development meetings between any of the participating agencies. Interviews with Key Actors. Evaluators will conduct interviews throughout the course of the project with key actors. Included among the persons to be interviewed will be, for example, the Project Director, Case Managers, Assessment Specialist, Peer Mentors, members of the Re-Entry Board (REB), and all other project staff, as well as deputy probation officers (and other staff at juvenile hall), police officers, deputy district attorneys, public defenders, and other juvenile officials. Interviews will be semi-structured, including both closed-ended and open-ended questions. The closed-ended (or fixed choice) questions will provide continuity among respondents on specific issues. The open-ended questions will allow respondents to provide greater in-depth description of the issues, procedures, and problems surrounding the project, as they perceive them. Follow-up interviews will also be conducted with a sample of project clients and family members. Appro:dmately 40 program participants and 40 family members will be interviewed approximately six months after program completion. Normally a longer follow-up period would be desirable. However, this target is often difficult to locate following program (or probation) completion. The subjects for interviews will be randomly selected from among all program participants. All client and family interviews will be semi-structured and will follow topical guidelines prepared by the evaivation team, with the help or input of project staff. These interviews will obtain the clients' perspective on what the project was like, and what factors contributed to their participation, or their further involvement. The interviews will focus on the client's overall perceptions of the project and any parting "words of advice" to project staff. Interviews will be conducted with various community members and personnel from related community-based or treatment agencies. The broad categories of interviewees will include neighborhood leaders, government officials (e.g., civil Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA leaders), church leaders, and other people active in the community (e.g., drug abuse prevention specialists). Also included are representatives from the East Bay Conservation Corps, Youth Services Bureau, the Center for Human Development, Sojourne, Neighborhood House North Richmond, Richmond Unified School District, Police Activity League, and Sherman House. Develop and Review Project Documents The evaluators will help devise or up-date relevant program forms and other appropriate reporting mechanisms described in the proposal (such as intake and assessment forms), and train staff to gather written and observational evaluation data. Evaluation team members will work with project staff to ensure that the forms used in the project are sufficient to collect the required data. Some data can be secured from existing forms or by simple modifications to existing forms. Other forms will have to be developed. For example, a follow-up status and interview form will be developed. This form will assess a variety of factors, such as current educational status, family functioning, and self-reported substance use behaviors. The Project Director will also keep a log of related project activities to assist in documentation of the development, implementation, and subsequent project modifications as the occur. In addition, new recording mechanisms will be instituted to document client participation and staff completion of specific program activities. Outreach and development activities will be carefully documented by the outreach worker, and discussed with the evaluators. The outreach worker will keep a daily "contact" sheet which will describe the numbers and types of people contacted and the nature of the interaction, and through what forum the client was contacted. Also to be reviewed are all project progress reports, internal project memoranda and documentation (e.g., progress reports), and minutes from all inter-agency meetings. The types of forms included in the evaluation are: • Program Intake/Assessment Form • Individual Service Plan Form • Program Exit Form • Program Follow-up Form • Initial and Follow-up Assessment Forms for Family Members or Peer Mentors Interviews and record review will take place throughout the duration of the project, and will be a reciprocal process. That is, review of records by evaluation staff will generate salient questions on issues that need further amplification through the interview process. Although the interviews and record review will be conducted throughout the duration of the project, there will be concentration on these activities at various points--such as the beginning of the project, which will enable the evaluators to determine and document problem areas that presumably could be avoided in subsequent projects—i.e., similar projects replicated to other jurisdictions. The ongoing nature of the process evaluation will allow evaluators to determine how problems were solved and what strategies facilitated the completion of project goals and objectives. The interview data, along with record evaluation data, will be analyzed and combined into a thorough process description of the implementation of the project. This part of the evaluation will provide a complete description of the implementation of the project, including specific problems that arose and how project staff solved them to allow achievement of project goals and objectives. The main product of the process evaluation will be a documented history of the project. This publication will be designed to provide the documentation that is needed to replicate this project in other locales. E.3. Outcome Evaluation Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA The outcome evaluation will provide quantitative assessments of the effectiveness of the project in meeting its goals and objectives. Outcome Measures and Data Collection Quantitative data will be collected to address several issues. Data will be secured on client characteristics, case processing, and treatment outcomes. Evaluators will use various project forms which contain the necessary data elements. We will also use data from other forms or data sources. These include, for example: • CADDS (uniform California statewide substance abuse treatment reporting form) • Arrest/adjudication records (from the automated juvenile justice information system) • Self-Reported Behavior (e.g., Intake and Follow-up) Data Analysis Data will be coded, entered, and analyzed using the SPSS/PC data entry and statistical package with a microcomputer. After examining the distribution of variables, evaluators will perform various types of bivariate analyses. For example, we will do cross tabulations and use statistical tests such a Chi Square and Cramer's V to determine whether systematic relationships exist between the independent variables and any outcome variables which are nominal or ordinal in nature (non parametric). One of the central purposes of the project evaluation is to provide Project staff with data that will allow for self-correcting programming. Data will be entered into TOP'S automated MIS on an on going basis. Evaluators will analyze the data on a monthly basis and provide the Project Director with a monthly report and oral briefing. The monthly report will include activities that occurred during each specific month, as well as cumulative data. These monthly reports will enable the Project Director to monitor all relevant project activities. Project Objectives Both process and outcome measures will be secured for each of the project's goals and objectives. Goal 1. Enhance substance abuse treatment built on state-of-the-art knowledge in order to maximize diversion to treatment and improve treatment outcomes for a non-incarcerated juvenile justice population. Process Measures: Process measures will be used for the three objectives of Goal 1. The project's serving of clients will be documented by counting case intake and assessment forms. Evaluators will determine whether an Individualized Service Plan was developed for each client. Evaluators will also review all assessment and screening forms to determine whether comprehensive assessments were completed on all clients. Evaluators will follow clients through treatment using project documentation as well as CADDS forms (admission and discharge). Evaluators will monitor the documentation of all urine tests. Outcome Measures: The evaluation will examine the project's success in retaining clients in treatment (Objectives 1.2 and 1.2). The importance of treatment retention is two-fold. First, the longer a client stays in treatment, the closer he or she is to completion and, therefore, the more likely he or she is to eventually complete treatment. Second, even those clients who do not complete treatment during the current episode will nonetheless derive some value—in terms of their chances to complete treatment in the future. Research suggests that those chances increase with the accumulation of time in treatment. The URSA Institute will use CADDS forms to measure retention rates for clients over the duration of the project. Second, evaluators will analyze urine test results to determine whether there was a decrease in substance abuse in X0% of the youths over the six month period of their participation in the program. Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Goal 2. Develop documented models of service delivery which can be replicated in other juvenile justice systems. Process Measures: Evaluators will review all documentation to determine that a Mentor and Peer Program was established (Objective 2.2), and that a Community Re- Entry Board was created (Objective 2.3). Evaluators will interview members of the Mentor and Peer Program and the Community Re-Entry Board to determine adequacy of functioning. Measures include documentation of the process and outcome evaluations conducted by the evaluator, the URSA Institute. The process and outcome evaluations will be in written form and supplied to the Project Director. A final report will be comprehensive to allow for project replication in other jurisdictions. Outcome Measures: The evaluators will review relevant probation department documentation and interview probation department supervisory staff and deputy probation officers to verify that the case load assigned to the DPO was reduced from 120 to 54 youths. The URSA Institute (the evaluator) will conduct follow-up interviews with 40 project youths and 40 family members six months after clients leave treatment. The interviews will include self-reported behaviors, such as type and frequency (if any) of use of various substances, as well as the functioning of the Mentor and Peer Program and the Community Re-Entry Board. These data will be compared to similar interview questions during the intake/assessment phase of the project. Goal 3. Reduce rates of incarceration in juvenile facilities. Process Measures: The evaluators will interview project staff and juvenile probation department personnel to determine in what ways the project has affected juvenile crime among clients and the juvenile justice system. All relevant documentation will also be reviewed. Outcome Measures: Reduction in drug-related criminality will be determined in two ways. First, for clients on probation, evaluators will work with probation department personnel to review criminal history records (rap sheets) over the duration of the project. The juvenile probation department will allow access to its automated juvenile justice information system to follow cases. Each client's Personal Code Number (PCN) will re recorded on his intake form. The PCN will be used to access any subsequent arrests for drug abuse or any other type of crime. Reduced rates of incarceration of project clients will also be measured through the probation department's automated juvenile justice information system. Second, self-reported criminal activities will be included in the one year follow-up with a random sample of clients. Goal 4. Develop linkages between jail-based substance abuse treatment with community-based treatment and supervision. Process Outcome: Only process measures will be used for Goal 4. Evaluators will employ several strategies to determine if a coordinated system of intake, assessment, and referral was created (Objective 4.1), gaps in services were filled (Objective 4.2), and an interdisciplinary TOP staff was established (Objective 4.3). Evaluators will first review all relevant documentation, such as progress reports, Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), and official correspondence among agencies. Evaluators will also conduct formal interviews with appropriate representatives from specified agencies, such as TOP administrators and representatives from juvenile Court, juvenile Hall, and the Probation Department. Goal S. Foster efforts to expand diversion to treatment and community supervision/treatment for non-incarcerated populations. Process Measures: Evaluators will review Individualized Service Plans to determine that medical, employment, and social functioning objectives are included in the plans for all TOP clients. Individualized Service Plans will also be examined to Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA determine if relevant medical, employment and social functioning objectives were met. Evaluators will also review Individual Service Plans to determine the number and types of prosocial activities and outpatient counseling opportunities. Evaluators will interview project Case Managers, East Bay Conservation Corp supervisors, and related project personnel to determine if specified objectives were accomplished. Outcome Measures: Outcome measures will be based on self-reported data, specifically shortly after intake and at the six month follow-up interview. Various medical, employment, and vocational (and other social functioning) indicators will be taken at intake/assessment as well as at the six month follow-up. Evaluators will determine, based on Objective 5.1 for example, whether 50%of the clients are employed in meaningful work half time, and (based on Objective 5.3) whether 75% of the clients had health screening examinations. Improved health is inferred from the increases in medical screenings among program participants. Decreases in high-risk activities (e.g., associated with HIV and STDs) will be determined through self-report data. E.4. National Evaluation All participating agencies in the project, along with the URSA Institute (the evaluator), will work closely with the national evaluator to ensure that all required information is being collected and available for the national evaluation. All process and outcome measures required by the national evaluators will be reviewed once available, and where possible, data collection procedures will be revised to reflect the expanded data needs of the national evaluators. To aid the national evaluator, as well as other potential programs throughout the country, the TOP Project Director and the evaluation team will produce a thorough description of the project. The final publication will include assessment tools, questionnaires, intake forms, summary of support group topics and structure, organizational charts and flow charts, procedure and policy, job descriptions, and evaluation results. This publication will serve as a "blueprint" for programs in other areas to replicate the TOP project as well as for the national evaluators to better understand documented project results. F. Project Management/Implementation Plan F.1. Background of Provider Applicant Organization • Sojourne Community Counseling Center Sojourne's treatment program geographically targets the population in Richmond. Its program lasts for 6-9 months and has a static treatment capacity of 150. It is a short term intensive recovery service; clients in the Adolescent Family Program spend approximately 3 hours/week in counseling, attending three different groups (see list below). Spanish speaking groups are available and referrals are made after completion of the program. Adolescent Family Program Treatment to Sojourne clients is done in a community setting meeting three times/week; the Family Group is comprised of the entire family unit. The program includes the following activities: Adolescent Rap/Activity session (1 time/1 hour/week) *Weekly group employing educational rap sessions; not limited solely to alcohol/drug abuse issues. *Concentrates on vocational training/employment, living skills, building self- esteem, pride, and development of alternative leisure activities. *Speakers representing support agencies are invited to speak about various subjects.

The Youth Educator High-Risk Youth Project includes all the basic training and information of the Youth Educator Program. In addition, specialized training and information of particular relevance to high risk youth is provided in the following areas: teen violence prevention, suicide prevention, unlearning racism and internalized oppressions, self-esteem enhancement, and multicultural awareness Referrals are made as appropriate to the Crisis an Suicide Intervention Hot Line. The static capacity of the Center for Human Development is more difficult to monitor because it trains people who continue to train people. They do mostly prevention/ training @ 15,000 year and have offices in Pleasant Hill and in North Richmond. The Neat Family Program works with the entire family unit and targets geographically by neighborhoods in Contra Costa County and are primarily school based. The Center for Human Development target primarily Jr. and Sr. High Schools in Contra Costa County. OUR FAMILY EVERGREEN TREATEMENT PROGRAM FOR ADOLESCENTS Our Family is a residential treatment program for adolescents suffering from problems related to alcohol and drug abuse, parental abuse, molest issues, behavioral and emotional disorders, learning difficulties, poor impulse and anger control, and prior placement "failures." The average age of clients in the Evergreen program is between 14 and 18 years. Their length of stay is between 12-18 months. The treatment components break down as follows: Candidacy: New Clients enter the candidacy phase, lasting from 2 to 5 days.During this time clients are oriented to the program, assigned a counselor, thoroughly assessed by staff and given assignments to complete. Stage I/Month 1-3 "Orientation and Awareness": Client will orient to the program rules and work on personal issues. Limited passes and privileges. Stage II/Month 46 "Building the Foundation": Clients work on emotions, core issues and behavior. Clients must begin to be honest with the staff and peers about painful feelings, and personal and family history. Responsibilities increase and clients are expected to exhibit more control over impulses and behavior. Clients serve as role models and help newer family members and receive an increase in privileges. Stage III/Month 7-9 "Re-Entry": Client develops plans for re-entering the community: More frequent and longer passes home. Arrangements will be made for foster care or independent living. In this stage, the client practices being a productive person in society, working, having fun and making friends. This phase allows the client to practice using al the "tools" gained in the program while gradually separating from the structure of residential treatment and moving successfully into the outside world. The treatment program includes a combination of the following modalities: Medical Services, Family Therapy, Behavioral Modification, Twelve Step Program , Individual Counseling, Group Therapy, Family Education, School, Recreation, and Sports/Exercise. 2& •25 FTE positions •1 Board certified psychiatrist several MFCCs Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA •1 Licensed Nurse Several counselors with advanced degrees. static Capacity = 34 beds (male/female) THUNDER ROAD Thunder Road (TR) is a residential treatment center that currently contracts with Contra Costa County that generally carries a caseload of 16 people referred from the Department of Probation. Thunder Road ascribes to a hybrid model that calls for intensive participation by the family members or other adults with whom the teenager lives. The program draws from both the social and medical treatment models and incorporates the 12 Steps in the recovery process. Teenagers and adults participate on an intensive and extended follow-up program after the residential phase of treatment. staff 70 people - 60 FTE Positions: Almost half the staff is in recovery. 43 Clinical services 2 Psychiatrists 1 Pediatrician Several MFCCs Several RNs and LVNs Four Alameda County Dept. of Education Employees YOUTH SERVICES BUREAU The Youth Services Bureau is responsible for the formation of the Parents Support Group which started as a forum to provide peer support for parents who were experiencing stress, tension, and parental "burn-out" related to the problems and difficulties resulting from intra-familial conflict. It provides a place where parents can meet to ventilate, share, discuss, and receive feedback regarding their specific problems, in an atmosphere "free of the guilt and blame" normally associated with families in crisis. Each cycle of family group participation will consist of eight consecutive group meetings. Excused absentees from the group must be made up with a future group, or groups, until the required eight sessions have been attended. Meetings take place every week. The static capacity for the group is 8 members. Those that cannot fit into a particular group will receive individual counseling until a vacancy has been created due to a participant completing his/her 8-group session cycle. Expansion is also a possibility. Meetings entail self-introductions and then a specific focus, utilizing guest speackers, guest group leaders, films, role playing, and other kinds of presentations as needed or requested by group members. staff 1 FTE Case Manager African American Male F.2. Organizational Structure/Management The Teen Option Program is a collaborative effort led by the Contra Costa County Health Services Drug and Alcohol Programs (lead agency). The primary participating agencies include: Neighborhood House North Richmond, Youth Services Bureau, Children's Home Society, Sojourne and Center for Human Development. (Organizational charts and a list of Re-Entry Board members are enclosed in Appendix IV, Document 7). These charts illustrate how the various subcontractors will interface. Overall project management and monitoring will be the responsibility of Chuck Deutschman, Substance Abuse Division Director. As Director of the Division he has the ability to recruit and coordinate county resources from the Substance Abuse Division. Day to day responsibility for TOP rest with the Project Coordinator who will ✓4 Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA report to Chuck Deutschman and participate in monthly AOD meetings. The responsibilities of the Project Coordinator are: • Contract negotiation & monitoring; • Supervision of evaluators; • Oversight of the Project; • Communication and coordination with the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs; • Communication with the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment; • Oversight of the private providers The Substance Abuse Division is part of the Health Services Department. The Health Services Director is Mark Finucane. Mr. Finucane has been authorized by the County Board of Supervisors to sign this application on their behalf. The proposed TOP will be implemented utilizing both county personnel and local non-profit organizations already under contract with Contra Costa County. Thus, with the exception of the Project Director, all personnel for the project will be new hires. All staff will be hired by an interdisciplinary team with representation from Youth Services Bureau (YSB), Neighborhood North Richmond (NHNR), Sojourne, the Department of Probation, and County Drug and Alcohol Programs. The Project Coordinator will operate out of West County from where he/she will coordinate the efforts of the TOP Deputy Probation Officer, the Vocational Development/Outreach Coordinator (under contract to NHNR), the Assessment Specialist (Children's Home Society), the Treatment Supervisor (Sojourne) and Treatment Specialists (Sojourne and NHNR) the Peer Counselor/Mentoring Coordinator (CHD), the Social Worker (YSB) and Case Managers (YSB and NHNR). This team will meet on alternate weeks. The Project Coordinator will be responsible for heading the Assessment Team. TOP also has an extensive volunteer component consisting of a Re-Entry Board and individually constituted teams of individuals committed to supporting a specific youth's re-entry into the community--Community Support TEAMs. These volunteers (trained by the CHD Mentoring Coordinator) will be recruited by the Vocational Development/Outreach Coordinator, the Project Coordinator, the Social Worker or Case Manager, and the youth himself. The program is a multi-site program. The following differentiates objectives for each site: juvenile Hall: Intakes, screenings, and intake assessments (as opposed to psychological and psychiatric) will be conducted at juvenile Hall. Initial medical screenings will also be done at juvenile Hall. Approximately 12-15 screenings and assessments will be done each month. Children's Home Society: Will operate one, six-bed re-entry group home. The re- entry home will serve approximately 54 youth annually, with stays ranging from 30 to 60 days at an average of 45 days. Youth Services Bureau and Neighborhood House North Richmond will each operate a case management program under the direction of the Social Worker housed at YSB. The case management program consists of one Case Manager at each site and two Graduate Interns at each Site. In addition, NHNR will provide one Treatment Specialist who will work conjointly with a Treatment Specialist provided through Sojourne and under the supervision of Sojourne's Treatment Supervisor. The team will work with approximately 54 children during the year. Since the length of the program is six months this means that, on average each team will be working with approximately 13-14 youth at any given time. F.3. Organizational/Management Capacity Contra Costa County Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA In 1991, Contra Costa County received a five year, $2.5 million Community Partnership Grant from OSAP to develop a community-wide response to alcohol and other drug related problems. No doubt, OSAP's awarding of this grant was influenced by two important factors that should be considered in evaluating this proposal. First, Contra Costa County has spent two years developing a comprehensive community partnership to fight alcohol and drug problems. This effort has resulted in the creation of a Drug and Alcohol Action Plan, endorsed by the Board of Supervisors and passed by almost 8096 of the voters in the county. The process involved in developing this community-wide consensus has yielded tangible results already that should facilitate development of the community support necessary to implementing the TOP. First, it has identified and unified scores of community leaders, organizations, and agencies that are concerned about alcohol and other drugs. Many of these individuals have already submitted letters of support and memorandum endorsing the TOP and committing themselves to support it. Contra Costa Health Services Department Alcohol & Drug Programs Contra Costa County's Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) has developed and managed a number innovative service delivery systems, prevention based programs, and collaborations involving diverse segments of the community. It led the effort to develop the Community Partnership Grant described above. In December of 1990, the Office for Treatment Improvement awarded the ADP a $1.5 million award to develop a Model Comprehensive Treatment for Critical Populations, a partnership of two local non-profit organizations, the Housing Authority and the ADP. The program is designed to offer a wide range of services to at-risk families living in two housing projects over a three year period. More directly related to this project, ADP initiated, developed, and staffed the Intensive Supervision Program described in the Background &Significance Section. In 1990, ADP was notified of a award of a S1.5 million dollar a year, three year grant from the State Department of Alcohol and Drugs (Federal Funds allocated by the State) to develop a comprehensive residential treatment continuum for women with families. This Perinatal Pilot Project seeks to accomplish with young women with families what TOP proposes for youth. In 1990 Health Services' Prevention Program was responsible for receiving a $135,000 a year three-five year award from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services, Maternal and Child Health. The grant establishes PACT (Policy, Action, Collaboration, and Training) a youth leadership and community organizing project designed to prevent sexual and physical assault in West County. PACT is a collaboration of many of the agencies in the TOP proposal. In the first months of planning, the group is establishing a series of neighborhood youth councils and a network of Block Captains to organize the community and provide youth with a myriad of proactive community involvement opportunities. Many of the prosocial activities (community involvement, volunteerism) will be made available to TOP participants as a result of the PACT collaboration. The linkages, expertise, and experience of the Prevention Program, particularly their appreciation of the relationship between alcohol and drug use and violent and anti-social behavior, and their ability to bring together diverse elements of the community, will be extremely useful in developing the TOP and the REBs. Since 1986 the Probation Department has been offering an extensive aftercare program, the ISP, referenced in the Background and Capability Section. The success of this project initiated the effort to develop the TOP. Probation personnel have been and will continue to be intimately involved in the TOP. Neighborhood House North Richmond (NHNR) Founded in 1950 by members of the American Friends Service Committee. Since inception, the goals of NHNR have been to bring about effective community Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA involvement, preserve cultural values, and reinforce individual self-confidence. NHNR currently employs 29+ staff and has an annual budget close to $1,000,000. In addition to substance abuse treatment (offered since 1974) NHNR provides services to senior citizens, youth drug education, recreation services, community outreach and a drinking driver program. They are a crucial participant in the TOP program and will contract to provide one Case Manager, one Treatment Specialist and one Vocational Developer/Outreach Coordinator for the TOP program. North Star is the substance abuse treatment arm of NHNR and is licensed as X Youth Services Bureau (YSB) An outgrowth of the West Contra Costa County Consortium for Children, YSB has been operating since 1983. It is a comprehensive youth service delivery system designed to improve the coordination of services to children, youth, and families. One of YSB's major contributions to the West County service delivery system is their role as convener of a comprehensive assessment team that involves Children's Home Society, Operation Stay-in-School, local law enforcement, Richmond Unified School District and John Swett School District, and the Departments of Mental Health, Probation, and Social Services. Center for Hum= Development (CHD) CHD has been developing and implementing community health promotion programs in the Bay Area since 1972. As a leader in developing partnerships with individuals, families and communities they are able to build networks of people who share skills, knowledge and resources with on another. CHD is also a leader in the field of training people to serve in the roles of Mentor and Peer. Thunder Road Thunder Road is a subsidiary of Merrit Peralta Institute (a private non-private agency) providing drug and alcohol prevention, education and residential treatment to teenagers and their families. Located in Oakland and in operation since 1987, Thunder Road has developed a unique program of intensive short term treatment. It is licensed as a Chemical Dependency Recovery Hospital and as a Group Home and is accredited by JCAH. Contra Costa County's Department of Substance Abuse has contracted with Thunder since its inception for 8 beds for children referred by Juvenile Probation or Social Services. Our Family. Inc. Our Family in Napa is private non profit provider of residential treatment programs for adolescent males suffering from problems related to substance abuse, parental abuse, molest issues and other behavioral and emotional disorders. The program offers 34 beds licensed as a Group Home and certified as treatment service beds by the State Department of AOD. The program provides a nurturing environment where teenagers may learn behavioral controls, develop self-esteem, learn the value of abstinence from drugs and develop realistic goals for re-entry into the community. Among the full range of treatment modalities employed by Our Family is a strong Twelve Step program. Children's Home Society Children's Home Society of California was founded in 1891 to assist homeless children. This non-profit agency has been a pioneer in the field of child welfare and today work with all types of at risk children. CHS Corporate offices are located in Los Angeles but they have 20 offices and 10 group homes located throughout the State including one in Contra Costa County (Sherman House). Together they serve over 10,000 children annually. CHS has indicated committed to opening a new 6-8 bed re- entry group home to serve the TOP program youth. They are a licensed provider of group homes (State of California Department of Social Services). Soiourne Chuck Deutschman, MFCC -- CA Sojourne Community Counseling Center is a program of the Contra Costa County Health Services Department. Sojourne provides a wide range of treatment interventions including: family groups; individual and family counseling; adolescent rap/activity groups peer counseling and information and referral. Sojourne is certified by the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs to provide Outpatient Treatment Services and Nonresidential Services. USA The URSA Institute (UI) is a non-profit corporation with offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, California, and Alameda, California. UI provides professional consultation, research, training, an technical assistance to public agencies and private organizations. Included URSA Institute are specialized programs focused on crime and delinquency, children, youth & families, alcohol and drug abuse prevention and treatment, education labor and economic development, and health and mental health policy. The professional staff within a number of these programs possess a wide range of substantive and technical skill required for the evaluation of the Oakland Community Consulting CSAP funded project. See Capability Statement in Appendix VI. Document 9. The following workplan details the timeline for the implementation of TOP. Due to space limitations, the workplan is extremely abbreviated. The first task upon start- up will be to develop an extensive and detailed workplan.

Increased/Enhanced Activities Start-up Costs for the Re-Entry Group Home Currently there are no re-entry group homes for youth in recovery in West County. CSAT funds would provide the necessary seed money ($30,000) to open a new re-entry group home. CSAT funding will create 6-8 new beds (one new Children's Home Society re-entry group home). Once established this group home will run for years beyond the grant providing services to countless youth. Creating a re-entry group home fills an absolutely fundamental gap in the treatment continuum. Funding from CSAT will be establishing a solid base for working toward a comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment model. Children's Home Society will provide a valuable option for the Assessment Team when youth are re-entering their community: a recovery oriented re-entry home located in the community. Another factor weighing in favor of establishing a new group home, is that group homes are relatively inexpensive to start and do not require local community zoning or use permit applications. Therefore, starts can't be delayed by the Not In My Back Yard syndrome. At the same time, the development of TEAMs to support the youth in treatment and re-entry, the development of a comprehensive community partnership of providers and community organizations will create the kind of support (and informal Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA $574,209 surveillance: Mentor, Peer) that is required for a community-based adolescent recovery program.) G.2. Line Item Justification Refer to the Line Item "Remarks" attached to SF 424. Personnel Costs Personnel costs of $119,279 include salaries and benefits at the prevailing wage scale dictated by Contra Costa County Department policies for the Project Coordinator, DPO and Office assistant. This includes a 32.7% figure for benefits except for the Program Coordinator who will be hired as a contract employee. Indirect Costs Indirect costs of $57,420 are shown as a 10% match contributed by the County. General Office Expenses General expenses of 6,750 include standard office supplies. Communication E=enS s Communication expenses of $1,500 covers estimated monthly phone costs for the TOP staff located at Juvenile Hall: TOP Project Coordinator and the TOP DPO. Postage The $1,000 estimate includes cost of postage used in general office management and in recruiting community leaders and volunteers. Duplicating Estimated at $.05 per copy 20,000 copies for a total of$1,000. Urine Analysis, Based upon an estimated cost of$4$14 per test, depending upon the substance(s) being tested for. Since youth will be tested while in residential programs by the residential program, costs are largely for their 6 month Community based program. $9 X 54 youth X 3 tests = $1458. Travel $2,900 for travel to the national technical assistance meeting for the TOP Program Coordinator and one provider (will rotate among the providers) each year. ' ea e Project Coordinator (1.0 FTE) S.24 X 10 miles per day X 5 days X 50 weeks X 1.0 FTE = $ 600 S.24 X 10 miles per day X 5 days X 50 weeks X 1.0 FTE = 5 600 Project Mentors: It must be remembered that these are volunteers who in all likelihood have few personal resources. The remaining $1,452 will be used to compensate these volunteers.

In addition CHS has budgeted $30,000 in start-up costs for the new group home and $5,000 in other direct service expenses. Their total contract will be $80,500. G.3. Evaluation Budget The total budget proposed by URSA Institute for the TOP Evaluation is $60,000. Personnel Costs In developing the personnel budget for the proposed effort, we have taken into account the unique needs of the EVALUATION as outlined program narrative. During the project year a core evaluation team, made up of Ernest J. Fazio, Jr. project Administrator, Martin L. Forst, D. Crim.; and Melinda K. Moore, MA, will be required to work together at between 25 and 30% FTE. the staffing roles will involve conduct of the evaluation activities outlined in the accompanying narrative. Polaris has projected the total wages and salary demands for the first year's effort to be $27,448 for a total of 158 days of direct labor. This represents .72 FTE for Polaris which bases a full time at 220 days or 1,760 hours of work. the remaining 320 hours included in a full work year (2080 hours) are considered to be compensated leave estimated at 96 hours holiday, 104 hours vacation, and 120 hours of other excused and paid absence from work. Fringe Benefits The fringe benefit rate percentage of 35%of Direct Salaries, or $9,607 for the year is based upon past and current experience and current estimates of increases in payroll taxes (to 11.75% Workers' compensation (an increase to .67% of total), and health insurance (5.2% from 5.0%) for FY1994. The fringe benefit package will therefore be: payroll taxes approx. 11.75%, Work person's Compensation approx. .67%, health disability and life insurance approx. 5.2%, compensated leave (vacation, holiday, sick, bereavement, jury duty, etc.) approx., 12.3% and annuity approx. 5%. Indirect Expenses The URSA Institute divides its indirect expenses into Overhead (which includes rental of property, equipment, and furniture, maintenance, utilities, general supplies and insurance) which is reflected in a 20% overhead rate charge to all direct labor and fringe (S7,41 1); and General and Administrative (which includes administrative and accounting labor and fringe, outside legal, accounting, and management services, audit, staff development, business/proposal development; business taxes and licenses) which is reflected in a 20% charge on all direct costs ($10,000).

Confidentiality and Participant Protection I.1. Target Population Please see Section B "Target Population/Needs Assessment" for information regarding the target population. I.2. Participant Recruitment and Selection Please see Section D "Approaches and Methods", and "Project Management/Organizational Structure and Implementation Plan" for detailed information regarding participant recruitment and selection. I.3. Data Collection Data will be coded, entered, and analyzed using the SPSS/PC data entry and statistical package with a microcomputer. After examining the distribution of variables, evaluators will perform various types of bivariate analyses. For example, we will do cross tabulations and use statistical tests such a Chi Square and Cramer's V to determine whether systematic relationships exist between the independent variables and any outcome variables which are nominal or ordinal in nature (non parametric). One of the central purposes of the project evaluation is to provide Project staff with data that will allow for self-correcting programming. Data will be entered into TOP's automated MIS on an on going basis. Evaluators will analyze the data on a monthly basis and provide the Project Director with a monthly report and oral briefing. The monthly report will include activities that occurred during each specific month, as well as cumulative data. These monthly reports will enable the Project Director to monitor all relevant project activities. IA Privacy and Confidentiality This CSAT project has developed and implemented appropriate procedures to address confidentiality and other ethical issues pertinent to the protection of participants in the proposed project. in including an agreement, where applicable, to maintain the confidentiality of alcohol and drug abuse client data in accordance with the code of federal regulations, 42 CFR Part 2, "Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records". All participating agencies must meet Federal, State and County requirements for confidentiality. Some of the procedures to be used to protect client confidentiality include: 1) All records are to be kept in locked cabinets, with limited staff access to those cabinets. 2) During each intake, clients sign a "Consent to Treatment" form which informs the client of his/her right to confidentiality and the exceptions to those rights. Clients are given the information regarding confidentiality verbally. 3) Staff are instructed and supervised regularly regarding compliance with confidentiality laws. 4) each program is reviewed annually by both County and State for compliance with all relevant regulations, including confidentiality laws. The confidentiality statement included in the "Consent to Treatment" form is as follows: "I have been made aware that only authorized persons will have access to my file and that no records, statements, or data contained therein may be used to prosecute, charge, or otherwise infringe upon my civil rights. Thus, the confidentiality of my records has been assured to me as stipulated in 42 CFR, part 2 nd Article 7 (commencing with section 5325) of Subchapter 2, Part 1 of Division 5 of the Welfare and Instruction Code. Furthermore, I have been made aware that my written authorization is needed before any confidential information is released, except under the following circumstances: Chuck Deutschman, MFCC — CA 1) To juvenile Authorities when child abuse is observed or suspected; 2) To prevent bodily harm to another person; 3) To prevent self-induced harm or death." In addition, "Consent to Disclose Client Information" forms are kept in each client's file and used as agreed to with the client. Clients are made aware of the fact that they can revoke their consent to release information at any time. Other exceptions to the rules regarding prohibiting disclosure of confidential information include: Internal Communication (case conferences, supervision) 1) Court Order, 2) Medical Emergency; 3) Research/Audit; 4) Communication does not include identifying information.

Addressing the needs of youth within West Contra Costa County has been discussed at great length both within the Substance Abuse Services Division and throughout the community at large. The Teen Option Program (TOP) is a direct result of this extensive collaboration effort. Contra Costa County provides a broad based substance abuse treatment service delivery system,which includes 263 residential and 47 detoxification treatment beds,and an outpatient capacity of 620. It is our experience that juvenile youth with substance abuse problems come from families where one or more parents are using drugs and/or alcohol. Additionally,there are oftentimes influential extended family members actively using substances, which provide poor role modeling and family support for these youth. In view of our findings,the Contra Costa County Substance Abuse Division will confer priority admission status to substance abusing parents of the identified youth within the TOP program.

Hanover, Ph.D. , YY W rector Date: June 21, 1993 Dear Mr. Deutschman: The Youth Interagency Assessment & Consultation Team (YIACT) is a multidisciplinary group providing mental health services to severely disturbed youngsters in institutional settings as well as Community transition. In an effort to best serve Contra Costa County youth, the Youth Interagency Assessment & Consultation Team (YIACT) wants to work in collaboration with the Teen Option Program. We believe that our program will benefit TOP by providing input to the assessment team as to the mental health needs of the youngster and his/her family. A team member currently provides transition. services for youngsters exiting from the Byron Boy&' Ranch Program and returning to the community. We therefore have well established and collaborative relationships with many of the currently operating community-based agencies. In addition, as a long-standing player in the interagency arena for the delivery of children' s services, our team is well acquainted with appropriate resources. both within the county system and in partnership with community referral systems. YIACT maintains membership in several existing commua3-ty-based planning collaboratives including the YouthFIRST Consortium and Ventura Model planning group to create alternatives to both placement and institutionalization. We plan to provide a Mental Health. Clinical Specialist to provide consultation to the newly forming assessment team which will convene monthly. TOP will truly give the youth of Contra Costa County more options for a healthier and safer future. we want to work with them in making a brighter t=orrow far these kids.

YANCEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO:. Chuck Deutschman Drug & Alcohol Programs Chief FROM: Jack Waddell Senior Deputy District Attorney DATE: June 21, 1993 SUBJECT: Teen Option Program ---------------------------------------------------------------- I was pleased to be informed of the comprehensive treatment continuum being developed for African American boys from Richmond and North Richmond. Our statistics indicate that a large number of these youth recycle through the juvenile justice system repeatedly committing drug related offenses . With such limited treatment options available the youth continue their use of drugs and their involvement in the drug trade. Currently the Probation Department operates a supervision program through Welfare and Institutions Code section 654 which enables the DPO to defer referral of a youth to the District Attorney' s office. This prcgram could include other options that might make it possible for the Teen Option Program to provide treatment services . The District Attorney' s office has not, as yet, endorsed such a program and would need to see clear evidence that the TOP both monitored youth effectively and that the program was achieving its objectives . Under these conditions , however, informal options might be possible on a case by case basis . Clearly, something must be done to help break this. cycle of recidivism, drug abuse, and violence. The TOP sounds like an excellent concept. 8� Probation Department Contra uerat. . 8 L. Administrative Offices Costa 50 Douglas Drive,Suite 201 County Martinez.

We understand you are responding to a LSAT Request for Applications for services to this three-year pilot program to develop a comprehensive, family- oriented model providing integrated family-base treatment and recovery services to non-incarcerated criminal justice youth in . West Contra Costa County. Sojourne Community Counseling Center has participated in the planning process for this grant program, and his agreed to support the project in a number of ways. First, Sojourne will provide outpatient drug treatment services for program youth, with a sensitivity to the family-based model being developed by the program. Sojourne will also develop and facilitate ongoing population-specific support groups, couples, groups, etc. Finally, Sojourne will provide medical screening and exam services on as needed basis to program clients, including TB screening, general health assessments, and pediatric and youth medical exams. Sojourne has been in business providing comprehensive substance abuse services in Contra Costa County since 1989. our services include individual and group counseling, family intervention services, co-dependency services, adolescent treatment, Spanish- speaking counseling, AIDS education and acupuncture services. We believe that your proposed project will be invaluable in providing the kind of integrated support to youth and family members affected by the individual ' s substance use and criminal behavior which can bring about real changes within family systems, while maximizing the impact of our own service provision. The program also has the potential to help break the cycle of addictive behavior often replicated in successive generations.

Youth graduating from the program will be trained to serve as allies, supporting their recovery by giving back service to other young men.

As the coordinator for the PACT Violence Prevention Project, which serves the greater Richmond area, I am painfully aware of the need for the services you propose.

The Teen Option Program will help in the reduction of drug abuse in the community. It deals with the schools indirectly. The good part about this program is that it develops resistance and out-patient care for the people that are involved. it also gives a great deal of support services for the child as well as the family. I have volunteered to be on the re-entry board which will meet once a month. By keeping lines of communication open and continuing to evaluate students process, we will be able to estabish linkages between youth and the school, as well as assess program needs.

Our agency has a 226 unit low income family public housing development in North Richmond, a historically underserved unincorporated area of the county. The Housing Authority and the residents of Las Deltas appreciate the value of forming partnerships to best address the needs of the community.

The need for services with this high-risk population is obviously great. The design of the project and the collaboration of Probation and community service providers promise a long-term solution to a serious community and human problem. The comprehensiveness of the design is especially exciting. The continuum of services—from group support to professional counseling, case management, and transitional facility; from life-skill training to career/job training and leadership training—will provide a strong base for young people to meet their futures with more healthy choices. The clearly proactive profile of the legal system and the community connection—that is, services provided in the community by agencies familiar to the community—promotes community change and strengthens the grass-roots movement of creating positive community environments. The track record of the agencies involved in this project indicate a successful project. Neighborhood House, Youth Service Bureau, and Sojourne Community Center work strenuously and creatively in the community to eliminate drug and alcohol abuse. The Center for Human Development programs not only.promote a no-use lifestyle but also teach the skills, build the self-esteem, and provide the opportunities to "walk the talk." The idea of combining N.E.A.T. Family support group skills and Youth Educator skills to guide young people from law violations to service as leader/mentors is rich with promise. Probation's efforts to intervene with and change the direction of young people's choices is increasingly clear and effective. We strongly endorse this project and urge funding of it.

We understand that you are seeking support from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). Your plan to provide comprehensive treatment and case management services to divert these high risk youth from the criminal justice system and to address their substance abuse problems is desperately needed. The Steering Committee wholeheartedly endorses this project and commits to working with the Re-entry Board which is comprised of members from the business community, churches, community groups, social service and health agencies. In addition, we will work with the TOP to develop linkages with public and private agencies so that these youth may have access to a variety of pro-social activities, employment, vocational training, etc. We will support the efforts of the TOP to involve churches, service clubs and other members of the community to fill the role of mentor, peer and other support roles for these youths and their families. Please keep us informed on the progress of this project. We are very encouraged by the Department's commitment to provide these critical services.

NEAT Family facilitates educational support groups for adolescents at risk of . substance abuse. These groups target youth aged 11-18 throughout Contra Costa County. NEAT Family's Parent Connection sponsors self-help groups for parents and guardians of adolescents involved in substance abuse or other risk behavior. NEAT Family provides training for adult volunteers to facilitate community-based groups. A related project of the Center for Human Development, Youth Educators, trains high school juniors and seniors to present substance abuse prevention curriculum to middle school students. This application does not duplicate existing services provided by the Center for Human Development. This application is an expansion of services, allowing CHD to reach high risk youth not ordinarily served by either NEAT Family or Youth Educators. This program will use the NEAT Family group facilitation model and the Youth Educators youth leadership training model to empower program graduates to give service back in support of their sobriety. 1 � �7 Chuck Deutschman, MFCC-- CA Appendix VI/Document 9 Appendix VI Document 9, Job Descriptions/Biographical Sketches y n V'N."n Appendix VT/Dccume: t 9 TEEN OPTIONS PROGRAM (TOP) JOB DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT COORDINATOR • Administers implementation, monitors TOP contracts. • Prepares all TOP reports in a timely manner.
