and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; (4) "Families
that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and (5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life

ameliorate the problems that lead to the removal of children from substance-abusing parents.
BACKGROUND:
In 1997 changes in the law regarding reunification timelines, reduced the amount of time available to Substance
abusing parents prior to the termination of parental rights. Parents whose children entered the Child Welfare

information and referral services. In addition, the specialist may set appointments for substance abuse
assessment, provide follow-up services to encourage participation in substance abuse evaluation and treatment,
and provide support to parents during the initial participation or evaluation for treatment programs.
Ms. Aguilar has provided these services to the Employment and Human Services Department. She has
demonstrated the specialized skills required for the Early Intervention Outreach Specialist position. Therefore,
Employment and Human Services wishes to continue to contract for these specialized ser ices with Ms. Aguilar
throughout the next fiscal year.
