NAMIE!TTot n v Jordan ITMEPID_ SIGNATURE:__ ram_ _DATE: FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 16 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A PROGRAM ABSTRACT:K)CUS for Mothers(TTM) Children that arc removed or at some risk of removal from their families and put into substitute care have already experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) such as domestic violence, neglect or abuse,all of which lead to their engagement in high risk behaviors including:being arrested as a juvenile and being involved in violent crimes.The FFM program's primary focus is to reduce out- of-home placement for children. The program is about building a mother's key protective factors that enable children to thrive. It rebuilds children's lives by helping their mothers gain the tools they need to redirect their lives. We are asking for partial funding, 100%of the Program Coordinator, 30%of the Director of Programs and 15% of the Outreach Coordinator. This program will provide Healthy Parenting programming for 400 moms directly mandated from the Tarrant County Court or CPS and the fives of more than 1,000 children. Three staggered classes, are each being offered over five ten- week sessions(50 classes each)in different locations throughout Tarrant County including Christ Chapel Bible Church and Onc Safc Place. Mothers will show retrospective improvement from pre-versus post-test with a: • 70%Improvement in ability to control my actions and attitudes. • 65%Improvement in ability to control anger. • 40%Improvement in ability to recognize signs of physical,emotional,verbal and sexual abuse. • 50%Improvement in willingness to co-parent with the father of my children in a healthy, cooperative manner. • 501%Improvement inability to instruct,teach,and model behaviors that will help my children develop into healthy,independent,self-sufficient,well-rounded adults. ORGANIZATION 1) Briefly describe your organization.Please include how long your organization has served the community.the nature of your services Since 1997,NewDay has worked enhancing children's lives by empowering their parents. Clients come from the Child Welfare Courts,Child Support Courts,Child Protective Services FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 17 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A (CPS)and community agencies.NewDay's goal is to place farnilics on a path to healing impacting the lives ofthousands of children at-risk ofbeng removed from their parents and'or home each year. Sadly,Children in Texas entering Foster Care increased about 5%on average each year in the past decade according to the(DFPS)2018 Data Book. NewDay's current programming includes: Family Scn-i"-s:NewDay programs help families by giving them tools and training to resolve conflict and coach them towards cooperative parenting: Anger Resolution,Case Mediation,Co-parenting skills,hI&V dual counseling,and Reconciliation. Hcahby Parenting: NcwDay works with Mothers and Fathers to maximize their influence in the lives of their children. Currently. Healthy Parenting programs include: FOCUS for Mothers and Fathers- 10 weekly classes mandated by the courts/CPS, Rc<oion 3 and the Fatherhood: EFFECT Program- 13 weekly classes-Nurturing Fathers Curriculum-\oluntary father's prevention program- Tan ant•Denton counties.Chaplaincy:In 1997,NewDay was t uiurdcd by a pastor providing spiritual support and advocacy for parents in crisis at the Family Law Center. NewDay continues to work providing pastoral care and support to families'children in the: Tarrant County Family Law Center and Juvenile Justice/Detention Center. Mentor- Navigation: NewDay Mentor-Navigator's serve as a dedicated point of contact to help mothers fathers gain confidence through: economic stability, responsible parenting, healthy relationships, and community connections. 2) Purpose of your proposed program and how it fits the mission of your organitation. NewDay's FFM Program exemplifies our mission of impacting children's lives by empowering their moms-offering them hope and inspiration through practical tools and life coaching. We envision the children of each parent we serve enjoying the full love,support and cooperation of the FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 18 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A parents they know,need and want. The mothers we serve are broken by family crisis and seek to change their circumstances. We meet them at their point ofneed and walk beside them givingthemthe tools needed to embrace sustainable change. 3) Target population served. How many people? What age group? FFM works to help moms who have been court/probation ordered to attend as part of their service plan. TARGET: 400 unduplicated mothers involved with the Tarrant County Child Welfare (CPS), Criminal, Domestic Violence, and Child Support Courts, as well as mothers from Probation/Reentry. Mothers will be 17 years and over and their children under 18 years of age. In 2018, the FOCUS for Mothers clients were-- it : Caucasian 51.4%; African American 22.7%;Hispanic 15.6%; American Indian 1.6%;Asian 1.2%;Multi Ethnicity 5.90/6;and Other 1.60/a Income: <SIOK 62.2%;SIOK-$19K 14.40/a;$20K-$29K 8.3%;$30K-$39K 6.4% and >$40K8.7%. Focal Children impacted: In 2018 1,015 children were impacted,of which 540,o were ages 0-5 years of age and 75%were 0-9 years of age. 4) Describe the geographic area your organization and project will serve(i.e.city wide,a specific council district,specific zip code,etc.) All Fort Worth/Tarrant County Court System. PROBLEM AND CAUSES 5) Programs should address at least one ofthe CCPD problem areas: NewDay addresses the following CCPD problems: a,e, d, and e. Texas has some profound challenges.According to the 2018 DFPS Data Book,between 2017 and 2018 in Texas: • The number of child abuse victims increased to 66,352 in 2018 from 64.657.Nearly 42%of the victims were under the age of 3. • The number of children removed from their biological homes increased by9.70/9. • There were increases in the number of children placed in roster care(1.48%) andemergency shelters(4.13%),and more children were placed in kinship care(4.06°0). • Most alarmingly,there was a 25%increase in child fatalities in 2018. FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 19 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A Paul Tough,published a book in June 20l6,"Helping ChIh*ent""d,What Works and Why" that reflects the newest body of evidence supporting that harsh/unstable environments can create biological challenges in the growing brainsbodies of infants/children. We know that the children impacted by FFM have been removed or are at risk of removal from their families.They have already experienced multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), i.e. abuse, neglect , mother s incarceration,divorce or domestic violence in the home.ACEs often lead to their engagement in high risk behaviors including:Juvenile arrest or involvement in violent crime. Of the more than 25%of children that have experienced two or more ACES in early d* they were 8X more likely to demonstrate behavioral problems in school and more than 2\as likely to repeat a grade in school. These children have experienced chronic(toxic)stress throughout most of their lives,and if/when removed and placed into substitute care(foster care),the stress most ollen increases. According to the January 2019,TexProtects,Prevent Child Abuue publication,Science Meets Policy,ACES Uncovered.Powerful Preventative Strategies to Promote Resilience and Better Brain Health for a Better Tetras Tomorrow, 26% of all Texans have experienced two or more ACEs- percentages well above the national average. The negative irnpwt/i�ft can be tracked across all sectors: social services, healthcare, adult criminal justice/juvenile justice, education, loss of productivity and an individual's lifetime earnings,other business and work-force costs. Preventing and mitigating the factors leading to ACES can save a child from trauma and dramatically increase their chance for healthy cognitive,physical and emotional development and their ability to become economically secure, well-educated, and productive community members. NewDay's FFM Program is an early intervention program that fosters resiliency* in these families, their children and the neighborhoods in which they live. FFM works to provide healthy mother involvement in the lives of their children. *Resiliency is the ability of'i child,family or community to grow in a functional, healthy, adoptive; and integrated way over the passage of time after facing challenging and stressful situations. FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 20 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A emotion,cognition,language,and memory.Parents as regulators of their children's stress.NewDay's FFM Program helps diminish or even reverse the effects of detrimcnial parental behaviors. By changing the way these mothers behavetoward their children,mothers can improve the lives,behaviors and attitudes of their children,repairing cognitive/academic dysfunctions into adulthood. 7) Describe how your program addresses the CCPD special emphasis priorities: FFM's addresses both the prevention of youth and family violence. NewDay works with mothers to strengthen their families by building protective factors including: Parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need,and social and emotional competence of their children. FOCUS classes deal with the mother's control issues, anger problems, fear of loss,sense of failure, low self-worth,and low stress tolerance;all of which can be triggers for violent behavior. Mothers are taught the"Circles of Control--Violonceand Nonviolence." Mothers learn how to be a strong, valuable influence in their children's lives, completing their service plans and facilitating stronger parenting skills. The return of children who may have been in substitute care is a factor in preventing future criminal activity and/or family violence. Detrimental parental behaviors can be diminished reversed if poor parental behaviors change. FFM helps moms change the way they behave,change their altitudes and actions impacting the lives oftheir children every day. According to a letter dated 4/25/2018 from the IV-D Judges of Tarrant County,"This program helps parents understand the importance that each of them has in their children's lives. When we order people to participate in this program for temporary orders, by the time they come back to court for final orders,they are in agreement as to what needs to be done.In cases where the parents have participated in FOCUS classes. they become better partners in co-parenting, which in turn. keeps the non-custodial parent involved and providing emotional and financial support needed to raise the child." FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 21 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A The ability to regulate/reduee the toxic chronic stress of children is enormously helpful in achieving academic success in kindergarten and beyond Without a stable, responsive early childhood,the transition of kindergarten is challenging and overwhelming. Chronic stress-related dysfunctions become academic dysfunctions. Students can't learn to read ontime. It is harder for them to concentrate on the words on the page. As they fall behind.they feel worse about themselves and about school leadingto mote stress,behavior problems,etc. Furthermore,according to the National Literacy Tnist,2007 research summary,'7Vhy Families hfatter to Literacy," The earlier parents become involved in their children's literacy practices,the more profound and longer lasting the results. It was found that if families who were initially uninvolved in the school became more involved,their children's literacy improved Even one or two additional involvement activities per year were associated with se1 improvements for children. FFM informs mothers of the critical role they play in their child's academic success and encourages them to actively participate intheir child's education. 8) Describe your program activities and how they address the causes you described in#S. NowDay FOCUS for Mothcrs'IO-weekly program activities include; • Introduction to FOCUS and to the Circle of Control-We only control or own attitude and actions and can't control people/situations over which we have no control. This impacts safety of residents and/or youth,and violent crime such as domestic violence. • family of Origin Issues and What Mahes a Functional vs Dysfunctional --Byundcntanding what makes their home functional and negative traits of their parents.moms are less likely to repeat behaviors resulting in safe neighborhoods 'safer children. • Understanding Personal Value ant Self-Esteem - Mothers must improve the way their view themselves since self-esteem aticcts all relationships and decisions they make. This impacts crime(violent&juvenile),safety/crime in Fort Worth neighborhoods. • Setting Proper and Hcalt4 Boundaries-Without boundaries,peat and their children tolerate ill treatment by others impacting personal safety. • How to Deal with Anger- Learning how to resolve anger leads to increased violence in the home/neighborhood.Children also reflect/model thesebehaviors • baling with Domestic Violence and Trauma- By teaching mothers how to deal with domestic violence and trauma, we help mothers prevent violence in all atpcM of their lives andthat of theirchildren. • Co-Parenting:" Learning to co-parent, moms and dads reduce chronic toxic stress for children FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 22 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A reducing their academic dysfunctions. Moreover,the reduction in fighting leads to reductions in violence in hoes neighborhoods. • Building a Strong Child-By creating a plan for their children,mother's raise them to become strong, educated,healthy,well-rounded adults.Children become productive,future citizens in their home and neighborhood. • Stages of Child Development - By developing age-appropriate discipline, expectations and communication,mothers can reduce chronic stress in the home and increase the child's safety. • Lcaving a Lc2acv for their Children- Mothers learn to understand the valuable part they play in their children' s lives and that they are responsible for creating a safe and healthy home environment. Program activities will be measured: 1. 400 unduplicated mothers will participate in at least one FOCUS for Mothers session. 2. 70%(280)mothers will graduate the 10-week cycle(must participate in at]cast 8 sessions.) 3. 280 hours of instruction will be provided over 12 months(14 class cycles of 10-weeks each) 4. 4720 participant hours will be completed S. Average number of sessions completed per mother. 9) Describe the anticipated outcomes of your program and how affect the problemfs)you selected from the list in Question#S. Please include brief descriptions of your evaluation methods. NewDay will serve 400 unduplicated mothers. Retrospective evaluations are completed in Week 10.The differences(improvements)represent the mother's evaluation of pre-class knowledge, skills and attitudes versus post-class knowledge, skills and attitudes. Improvements reflect how much the mother learned based on a five-point Likert scale. Mothers will show retrospective improvement from pre-versus post-test with a: • 70% Improvement in ability to control my actions and attitudes. - Trying to control people and situations, especially in time of crisis often leads to violence and crimes against persons in neighborhoods,their own children and the fathers of those children. The reduction of toxic stress in the home impacts the child's academic success,health,and high-risk behaviors. • 65% InIMvenignt in ability to control sneer - Learning to control anger leads to deceased violence in the home,workplace and neighborhood. • 40%Improvement in ability to recognize si ns of nhysical_emotional,verbal and sexual abuse Learning to deal with Domestic Violence(DV)and Trauma helps the mother prevent violence in her own life,as well as the lives of her children. Children ox"ed to DV are more likely to attempt suicide, abuse drugs and alcohol, run away from home, engage in teenage prostitution, and commit sexual assault crimes. FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 23 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A • 5C1°� improvement in willingness to co-parent with the father of my children in a hmllw. coo2grativc manner- Parents who co-parent without fighting reduce toxic stress on their children and the violence in the neighborhood home. • 50010 Improvement in ability to instruct,teach,and model behaviors that will help my children develop into healthy, independent, self-sufficient,well-rounded adults- Proper discipline,appropriate expectations m r and communication shills educe conllicUviolenee and toxic stress in the home.Leamina when and how to be engaged in their child's education impacts their pbiliV to read and continued academic success. 10) Describe what makes your program unique from any other crime prevention program in Fort Worth. • Classes Utilize a Strength-used Approach. In order for FOCiTS for Mothers to work effectively, we must concentrate on recognizing and building on the participants' strengths rather than their challenges. • Classes are Relational. From the initial contact,mothers know that we will be available to assist them in any way we can,including time outside of class.If needed,we will direct them to other services such as assistance with housing,education or job skulls training.transportation,physical or mental health resources,and otherparenting resources. • Classes are Interactive. We use a facilitator approach rather than a teacher/student model. Mothers are given opportunities for sharing,contributing to the discussions,and participating in group activities that stimulate and reinforce learning. • Classes are Relevant. Traditional parenting classes are designed to help parents ]cam some basics: caring for a newborn,developing responsible children,controlling anger in the family, managing temper tantrums. All valid/neaessary topics,however. many of the mothers come to class with long-standing issues such as, very low self-esteem, no support system, limited educational and financial resources,and no hope of changing. In our FOCUS classes,we create trust where they can work on their personal issues. They will not be able to parent stuck in their own chaos. • Classes offer Peer Support. 'Ihe mothers bond with one another and he facilitators, which provides many mothers with their sole support system. I)Describe if this is a new or existing program. It is an existing program that was started in 2013 following requests from CPS and Tarrant County Domestic Relations Office, Community Supervision to o1kr a FFM Program based on the successful FOCUS for Fathers Program.In 2015,with the help of two years of CCPD Funding,the program was expanded to include Mothers from the Criminal, Child Support, Prostitution and Domestic Violence Courts and reentry.However,the demand for sen•ices continues to outweigh the support. With your help,the program has grown from serving 133 Mothers in 2015 to serving 351 FY 2020 Community Based Program NewDay Services Page 24 of 39 for Children and Families Exhibit A Mothers in 2017-18. In 2018-19, we have added additional structure, upgraded curriculum, and improved pre-and post-tests based on the revised Mother's curriculum and plan to reach 400 mothers.We plan to reach at least another 400 Mothers in 2019-20. 12) Why CCPD funds are necessary at this time. FOCUS for Mothers has always been a privately funded program. CPS requested we add the moms program to a successful Fathers program in 2013, but did not then,nor does it currently, provide funding. Our sources of funding are growing every year,however demand forthe program is outpacing resources.With your help we will be able to support more than 800 moms and over 2,000 children in 2018-2020. SUSTAINABILITY 13)Describe and list what other funds have been secured or applied for. In 2019-20, funding is hopefully anticipated (pending) to come from Amon G. Carter Foundation,Individuals,Christ Chapel Bible Church,LM AERO Club,In&Out Burger Foundation, CCPD and the Tarrant County Child Welfare Board.We will continue to seek funding from other private sources,individuals,businesses and foundations as the year progresses. 14)Describe your plans to sustain this program beyond the CCPD funding period In 2018-19, NewDay worked with CPS in Denton to run a FOCUS for Mothers pilot 10-weck program that is currently being reviewed by the state CPS!DFPS in consideration of funding the program in the future.We are concurrently continuing to seek private funding. 1 SJHas your agency obtained funding through the Crime Control and Prevention District previously? r Yes D No If so,please fill out the form on page 17.
