Well Being Education Updates Family Treatment Court An alternative to traditional justice system case processing. Courts keep individuals in treatment long enough for it work while providing wrap-around support and close monitoring. Participants are accountable to the Judge, submit to regular and random urinalysis and are rewarded or sanctioned based on behavior. The appeal for parents is FTC parents typically reunify faster with their children. FTC Redesign 2015 and upcoming in 2018 Tiered court model- 4 phases (to be changed to 5 in FY18) Addition of Recovery Specialists (reduction to 2 in FY18) Now fathers are included SA options expanded (all levels of care offered) Stipulation requirement being eliminated (to be changed to acknowledgement or stipulation in FY18) Reunification based on progress and compliance
Number Served Average program length Average length of time for reunification Percentage of positive screens Jan1-Dec 31 while in program 49 parents 95 days* 319 days (without outliers 6 months) 13% of 1,209 tests Jan1-June 31 27 parents 237 days 132 days (7-8 months for reunification) 18% of 702 test
Support Services Recovery Specialist Recovery Specialist help to navigate the system and help steer caregivers to an appropriate and accessible treatment option that will meet their individual needs. Some task are: Outreach to potential clients; engage to enter FTC Collaborate with treatment providers to develop recovery plans and relapse prevention plan (to include child welfare and treatment goals) Collaborate with social workers on client progress and challenges Monitor and support clients through treatment progression Attend court hearings, staffing's, red team meetings, family team meetings and other meetings scheduled around case planning Complete court reports and attend FTC weekly
Moving Forward What we learned Clients are more likely to attend assessments at CFSA then at APRA-ARC or Urgent Care. The CARA Act has significantly increased substance abuse referrals in FY18 thus far. Clients are more successful when linked to a Recovery Specialist services but their caseloads are limited. Challenges we face Engaging adult and youth clients to complete assessments and treatment (if recommended). Increasing the utilization of Family Treatment Court (program capacity is 30, we averaged around 20 participants per month in Fy17). Triaging referrals for substance affected families by risk need.
