PROGRAM ABSTRACT
Provide a short description of your program to be funded. Please summarize the
problem and what your program will do to address it. (Roughly 2 paragraphs in length)
Too many Fort Worth youth are in crisis. Young people in middle school are already using alcohol and
other drugs, many are associating with peers who are making unhealthy and unsafe choices; others are
displaying behavior and academic problems at school, such as truancy or falling grades they are acting
out in a violent or rebellious manner at school and at home Much of their behavior reflects an inability
to cope with a series of traumatic life events, such as exposure to gangs, child abuse or neglect, family
crisis such as unemployment, divorce, catastrophic illness, or chronic poverty When faced with
traumatic life events, many teens (especially preteens) do not have the developmental assets, adult
support, or accurate information to choose healthy and safe ways to cope. Preteens and teenagers need
resources to build resiliency, plus clear and accurate information to make healthy and safe choices for
their lives. They also need access to counseling to promote emotional recovery, rebuild trust, and
treatment services to address the issues with which they are struggling.
The Youth Intervention & Prevention program is designed to interrupt the cycle of teen violence and
juvenile crime, reduce substance use, and help youth develop the assets, skills, and knowledge they
need to make healthier and safer life choices. Using a three prong strategy, Recovery Resource Council
will provide outreach and education services in Fort Worth to 300 troubled teens; evidence -based
intervention and prevention services will be provided to 200 more. Youth in need of more intensive
levels of intervention will be screened, assessed, and referred for appropriate levels of substance abuse
treatment services. The overall goal is to increase youth safety and reduce juvenile crime Sites for
program activities include Middle Level Learning Center Juvenile Detention Center, Recovery
Resource Council, and Boys & Girls Club of Greater Fort Worth. The proposed program addresses the
CCPD priority of intervening in youth violence by providing a multi -service strategy designed to
increase the safety of youth, improve their ability to make safe and healthy life choices, and reduce
juvenile crime
1
PROPOSAL NARRATIVE
1) Describe in detail the problem that your program addresses.
Addressing needs and service gaps in Fort Worth is a priority for Recovery Resource Council. There is
a growing need for intervention and prevention programs to address youth violence, juvenile cnme, and
the underlying contributor to the problem: alcohol and other drug use. According to the 2009 Drug
Impact Index, Fort Worth teens abuse marijuana and other illicit drugs at percentages higher than the
State average. In 2009, 616 youth were arrested due to breaking liquor laws, 276 for drunkenness and
132 for driving under the mfluence; 23 of these youth were on probation for a current felony charge and
88 for misdemeanor; 1,131 youth were arrested for drug possession in 2009, which is an increase over
previous years. Sadly, the Tarrant County Coroner's Office reported of the 168 over dose deaths, 12
were teenagers.
Of the Tarrant County youth admitted to Department of State Health Services funded treatment in 2009,
70% were abusing alcohol, 26% methamphetamine, 29% cocaine, 84% marijuana, and 51 % other drugs
(heroin, inhalants, ecstasy, crack). Furthermore, there have been several recent media reports of youth
being admitted to North Texas emergency rooms for use of synthetic marijuana called K2 and a high
alcohol caffeine drink called Super or Four Loko. These ER admittance cases are deemed to be the
result of youth being unaware of the dangers of these "legal" substances.
Too many of our youth are in crisis. Young people in middle school are already using alcohol and
other drugs; many are associating with peers who are making unhealthy and unsafe choices; others are
displaying behavior and academic problems at school, such as truancy or falling grades; they are acting
out in a violent or rebellious manner at school or at home Their behavior is a reflection of their
inability to cope with a series of traumatic life events. They are exposed to gangs and may have
witnessed or been a victim of rival gang violence; some have been a victim of unreported child abuse or
neglect; others have experienced the sudden death of a family member or friend, or the breakup of the
family. When faced with traumatic life events they do not have the developmental assets, adult
support, or accurate information to choose healthy and safe ways to cope.
It is imperative for troubled teens to receive the emotional and cognitive resources, plus clear and
accurate information, to make healthy and safe choices for their lives. They also need access to
counseling to promote emotional recovery, build resiliency, and treatment services to address the issues
with which they are struggling. Parents also need access to information and counseling services in
order to provide the appropriate level of support for their youth.
The Council's Youth Intervention & Prevention program is designed to interrupt the cycle of teen
violence and juvenile crime, reduce substance use, and help youth develop the assets, skills, and
knowledge they need to make healthier and safer life choices.
2) Describe what your program does to 1) support efforts to reduce violent crime and gang -
related activities through enhanced enforcement activities and crime prevention programs,
2) support efforts to increase the safety of residents and to decrease crime throughout
Fort Worth neighborhoods, and 3) support efforts to increase the safety of youth and
reduce juvenile crime through crime prevention and intervention programs.
Using three service components, the program promotes efforts to increase youth safety and reduce
juvenile crime by providing: 1) community outreach to at -risk and high -risk youth, 2) evidence -based
prevention education, brief trauma -focused counseling, and family counseling to at -risk youth attending
an alternative school in Fort Worth Independent School District; 3) screening, assessment, and referral
3
to substance abuse treatment Each service component is described in detail below:
1. Community outreach is provided in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater
Fort Worth Coming Up program targeting at -risk and troubled teens, ages 12-17. Recovery
Resource Council's Prevention Specialist provides a weekly, 30-minute education presentation for
the youth participating in Coming Up. In addition, a weekly, 1-hour presentation is provided at the
Juvenile Detention Center in Fort Worth The content of these presentations focuses on choices,
alternatives, and recovery. Each week youth have an opportunity to meet individually with the
Prevention Specialist. These sessions provide a unique opportunity to identify underserved youth
who are at -risk of being pulled further into violent, antisocial behaviors or are in need of substance
abuse treatment. Outreach efforts provide a unique opportunity to interrupt the cycle of violence
and substance abuse before it escalates to more severe levels of juvenile crime activity.
2. Project Toward No Drug Use (Project TND), an evidence -based curriculum, is provided at
Middle Level Learning Center, an alternative high school operated by the Fort Worth Independent
School District. Project TND uses a support group format for ages 13-17, providing lessons and
discussions in 12 sessions each 45 minutes in length. The curriculum topics are designed to help
youth develop self-control and communication skills, acquire resources to resist drug use, improve
decision making strategies, and develop the motivation to make healthier, safer choices. Lessons
include active listening, myths and denials, chemical dependency, positive and negative behavior
loops, tobacco use cessation, marijuana panel and stress health and goals. Project TND is an
effective, interactive prevention program that has demonstrated successful outcomes with troubled
youth. For example, the most recent evaluation results (2011 — 2012 School year) reported 73% of
youth, who completed the series (attended at least 10 of the 12 sessions), showed a reduction in
antisocial behaviors, including alcohol and drug use. At the completion of this program, youth are
able to abstain from or reduce the use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and hard drugs; state
accurate consequences of drug use and criminal behavior, mcludmg environmental, social,
physiological and emotional consequences; and demonstrate improved behavioral and cognitive
coping skills. Project TND focuses on three factors that predict antisocial, violence -related,
criminal behaviors among youth: motivation factors, social/coping skills, and decision -making
In addition to the prevention activities, strength -based brief motivational counseling is available for
up to six, 45-minute individual and or family counseling sessions to any program participant. This
service is initiated at the request of the youth, parents, partner agency, or school counselor.
Counseling sessions focus on communication, family relationships, decision making, and
aspirations.
3. Screening, assessment, and referral for treatment is available at each service site as needed.
Youth who are identified as high risk for, or are already engaging in, substance use or who are in
need of more intensive services are assessed by the Prevention Specialist and referred to
appropriate treatfent resources in the community Because parent participation is a significant
part of engaging youth in treatment services and supporting them through recovery, families will
receive additional behavioral health services through the Council's Clinical & Behavioral Health
Program.
3) Does your program address the CCPD priority/special emphasis of the prevention or
intervention of youth violence and/or family violence? Describe how your program
addresses this priority?
4
The proposed program addresses the CCPD priority to reduce youth violence and juvenile crime by
providing a multi -service strategy designed to increase the safety of youth, improve their ability to
make safe and healthy life choices, and reduce alcohol and other drug use. This is accomplished by
providing multi -level service components working together to give youth a safe, confidential, and
supportive environment to promote trust, become more resilient to peer pressure and life stressors,
build assets, and incorporate factors of protection into their lives. Our target population is susceptible
and vulnerable to complex risk factors. Without the provision of Recovery Resource Council
prevention services, this target population would represent a category of youth with significantly
unmet needs.
4) How will you measure the effectiveness of the program? You must include specific
performance measures within the Activities and Outcomes Summary and describe
evaluation tools and the method of data collection that you will use. If awarded funding,
these performance measures will be included as an exhibit in the contract, and you will be
required to report progress towards these measures, which will be reported to the CCPD
Board.
Specific performance measures are provided in the Activities and Outcomes Summary, along with
description of evaluation tools and data collection methods. The program collects and reports on output
and outcome performance measures to determine the effectiveness of the services. We measure our
program's capacity to achieve targets by collecting data on the number of service recipients and the
number of service hours delivered. We measure the outcome of program services on participant's
knowledge, attitude, and behavior using written tests and surveys that have been provided by the
curriculum or developed by program staff. Output and outcome results are reviewed monthly by the
Council's Director of Prevention Education and reviewed with staff quarterly to ensure that goals and
objectives will be achieved.
Program effectiveness is measured on the following outcomes
•
•
70% of youth who complete the PTND curriculum series will show a decrease in alcohol and
other drug use.
90% of all youth who complete the PTND series will report learning 3 or more ways to remain
safe and crime -free.
75% of youth who complete the PTND series will show an increase in safe and crime -free
attitudes and motivations.
70% of youth who receive at least 3 counseling sessions will show positive change in relation to
negative behavior patterns.
Number to be served: Recovery Resource Council intends to provide outreach service activities to 300
high -risk youth; evidence -based prevention and intervention activities to 200 at -risk youth.
5) Who will the program benefit? How many people? What age group? What geographic
area will it serve? Please include geographic boundaries.
The program will benefit at -risk and high -risk youth, ages 12 —17. The at -risk target population attends
the Middle Level Learning Center an alternative school operated by Fort Worth Independent School
District. The school is located at 4921 Benbrook Highway in the 76116 zip code area of Fort Worth.
Other program participants (high -risk youth) receive services at the Juvenile Detention Center in Fort
Worth or at six Boys & Girls Club sites in Fort Worth. Counseling, screening, assessment, and referral
services are available at all program sites and at Recovery Resource Council office in Fort Worth.
•
6) What makes this program unique from any other crime prevention program in Fort Worth?
5
Recovery Resource Council believes in the power of prevention and the potential of every youth. Our
Prevention Education Department team knows that every interaction a child has during the course of a
day influences the adult that child will become. We provide all services with this in mind. We are
dedicated to the positive connections role modeling, and skill building that are required to promote the
overall health and well-being of children and youth.
The Youth Intervention & Prevention Program is operated with professionalism, high morale
character, and ethics while upholding our core values of empowerment, integrity, compassion, and
vision. Our staff goes the extra mile to be trained and beyond that, our Prevention Specialists' reflect
deep personal commitment from their own expenences which they take to the locations to serve the
youth with creativity, compassion, and enthusiasm. We provide research based curriculum that is
proven to be effective. Our data in post -testing shows the results. It is the quality and commitment of
our staff that makes the difference. We seek excellence in all that we do.
7) Is the program already in operation? If so, how long have you operated the program?
What resources are currently used to operate the program? Why are CCPD funds
necessary at this time?
We have been providing services at the Juvenile Detention Center since 1995, actively collaborating
with the Boys & Girls Club for 3 years, and providing intervention and prevention services at the
Middle Level Learning Center for 5 years. For 10 years, the Texas Department of Health Services
(DHS) has provided funding for the program Even though program expenses have increased each
year, funding from DHS has remained flat.
The Council employs 3 full time professional staff to provide intervention and prevention services for
troubled teens Program revenues total $443,000 and expenses total $493,156, leaving a $50,000 short-
fall In October 2011, we were informed by the Office of the Governor that nonprofit organizations
would no longer be eligible to apply for Criminal Justice Division (CJD), Juvemle Justice Delinquency
Prevention (JJDP) program grants. Furthermore, a 3-year funding commitment that was made by CJD
to Recovery Resource Council for intervention and prevention programs was cancelled. This loss in
funding of close to $60,000, through no fault of the program or the Council, combined with consistently
flat DHS funding, has placed our intervention and prevention services targeting Fort Worth's troubled
teens in Jeopardy. Without support from the City of Fort Worth we will be unable to continue
providing intervention and prevention services at the current level of services.
8) Is this a new program? If so, what other funds have you applied for? Also, please describe
the sequence of steps needed to implement your program and the timeframe in which this
will occur.
1'his is an ongoing program. With support from the City of Fort Worth, we are prepared to continue
services and activities on October 1, 2012. The Middle Level Learning Center, Juvenile Detention
Center, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Fort Worth rely on Recovery Resource Council services to
complement their prevention and intervention strategies.
9) Briefly describe the specific expenditures planned for CCPD funding. You MUST fully
complete attached budget forms.
CCPD funding will be used to pay partial salary and benefits for two full time Prevention Specialists; a
portion of her/his travel and training expenses; program supplies needed to serve 500 youth and a
portion of the direct program operating costs for telephone service, printing costs, and postage. The
6
Prevention Specialists use Recovery Resource Council office facility in Fort Worth for supervision,
planning, preparation, and data tracking Each Specialist has a desk, computer, and access to telephone
and copy machines A completed budget form and budget narrative is included in the application.
10) If funds are awarded, will this program continue beyond the CCPD funding period?
Please explain your plan to sustain this program.
Intervention and prevention services for youth have been sustained by Recovery Resource Council for
over 10 years We are committed to supporting these programs through State funding, private
foundation contributions, United Way of Metropolitan Tarrant County and revenue generated through
the Council's fundraising activities. The organization's annual development strategy includes
diversified revenue streams from individual donors, grants, private and corporate foundation, and
fundraising events Recently, in response to reductions in federal and state grants, Recovery Resource
Council completed the certification and licensure process to allow third -party billing for clinical and
behavioral health services to insurance companies and Medicare/Medicaid. A portion of the revenue
obtained from service billing will support our clinical and behavioral health programs while also
benefiting the intervention and prevention programs. Finally, with support and participation of our
Board of Directors, the Council is launching a Major Gifts program in 2013 that will generate new
revenue.

How does this activity relate to one of the three
CCPD goals?
Nearly 100% of this population has already been
involved in criminal activities and is involved in the
criminal justice system. These outreach services will
provide education, information, and motivation
towards safe and crime -free lifestyles while identifying
youth in need of substance abuse treatment.
All students are either involved in unsafe or criminal
behaviors or are at risk for doing so. The described
prevention and intervention activities provide
education and factors of protection towards safe,
healthy living, encourage and support youth in ways
to avoid violence, criminal activity, and substance
use.
Individual and family counseling sessions provide a
safe atmosphere for teens to express their thoughts
and feelings while also empowering them to
contemplate, prepare, and take actions that promote
safe and crime -free living. Family counseling
provides the assets youth need to sustain safe and
healthy choices into young adulthood.
These services provide more intensive, individualized
support for teens who are exhibiting warning signs
most conducive to juvenile crime and other high risk
behaviors.
* The CCPD Board and/or scoring committee may request modifications or additions to the activities measured as a condition of award.
