Districts Served by Project Check all that apply ✓ District 2 ✓ District 3 ✓ District 4 ✓ District 5 ✓ District 6 ✓ District 7 ✓ District 8 ✓ District 9 5.What is the mission of your agency? To promote wellness and recovery from alcohol and substance use disorders and trauma. 6.What is the target group for this project? Youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences are at-risk of engaging in criminal activity. In many cases they have been exposed to adult criminal behavior in their community or home. In most cases they have progressed up the discipline ladder, beyond interventions with the principal,to being physically separated from their peers by their placement in alternative schools.These youth are at high risk for chronic involvement with law enforcement,the juvenile justice system, or dropping out of school entirely.Youth served in this program have crossed the threshold into unacceptable behavior evidenced by the fact that they are either assigned to an alternative school or are on juvenile probation. Many live in environments where risk factors are prevalent and where factors of protection are scarce. Most of the youth referred to our program are three years or more behind in math and reading skill levels based on the IOWA Test of Basic Skills. Most are acting out through parental, peer, and/or teacher conflicts and their school attendance and performance are poor; they are deemed 'at-high- risk'for truancy, delinquency,and/or antisocial behaviors in relation to drug use.The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to an incr �� g �r i� �rnultiple school problems, substance use, mood issues, and del inquengyagfogJtipt("chool problems are identified as aggression,fighting,conflicts with teachers, 7.What is the crime/safety problem you are addressing? In 2017, marijuana represented 85%of drug trafficking arrests in the Dallas-Fort Worth Region. In that same year, 850 Tarrant County youth were arrested for drug possession. Furthermore, 7%of youth, in grades 6-12, reported that every party they had gone to, marijuana or other drugs had been available. The problem we are addressing is juvenile crime. Based on recent data collected by Recovery Resource Council: Sixty-four(64%)of the students reported using drugs in the past 30 days. In this group of drug users, 64%of their parents were also concurrently using drugs during this same time period. Below is a report of the characteristics and presenting problem data for youth participating in Ground Zero over the last 2 years: Characteristics/Presenting Problem of Youth enrolled in project: Multiple School Problems-55%; Social Issues (problems with peers)-27%; Substance Use/Abuse-9%; Mood Issues(mental/emotional health)-56%; Delinquency- 10% .Multiple school problems are identified as aggression,fighting,conflicts with teachers, lack of interest, and suspension/detention. 8.What are the causes of the crime/safety problem identified in the previous question? Chronic exposure to adverse childhood experiences; environments and communities where risk factors are prevalent and protective factors are scarce. In addition,there is a direct relationship of the negative influence of exposure to drug-using environments present in the project's target group.The impact of prolonged exposure to adverse experiences includes failure to develop psycho-social competencies, increasing feelings of inferiority and confusion, struggles with academic failure and social interactions.Adverse childhood experiences are identified as child abuse, homelessness, poverty,witnessing intimate partner violence, exposure to adult substance abuse,and community violence. Such experiences have a profound impact on a child's life and may lead to delinquency,truancy, poor academic performance,violent behavior,and early onset of substance use. Socially and emotionally impaired youth may act out their need for help through classroom disruption, violence, poor school performance and criminal activity. Without appropriate levels of intervention, behavior problems will escalate.Youth expelled as a result of serious and persistent or felonious misbehavior in school, home or community tend to follow a path known as"the school to prison pipeline". This downward spiral can and must be prevented. 9. How will your strategy address those causes? With funding from the State Criminal Justice Division grant program, Recovery Resource Council has provided Ground Zero services for 465 at-risk youth over the past 3 years. Fort Worth Police Department funds will be used to provide Ground Zero evidence-based intervention services for youth, ages 12- 17,i in Ft.Worth ISD Alternative Middle and High Schools, and at the Juvenile Detention Center.Youth in need of individual counseling or support group services are identified and referred by school counselors, social workers,or Detention Center staff. Students may receive up to 10-45/minute sessions of individual and/or support group counseling. In the first session, a screening is completed in order to gain information about adverse childhood experiences, substance use history, home life,and school status. In doing so, problems are identified,goals are set,a service plan is developed,and youth are provided personal guidance,education, support,and referrals as needed. Youth are encouraged to conceptualize personal goals toward the promotion of their health and safety and they are guided,supported and provided with education and referrals from the Counselor. Program services are provided at their school or at the Juvenile Detention Center in private counseling offices or remotely through TeleMental Health platforms and are designed to meet the unique needs of youth in crisis,at high risk for chronic substance use or related juvenile crime activity. 10.What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety? The project will use the following evidence-based practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Motivational Interviewing,and/or Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy for individual counseling services. These practices have been well-researched and demonstrated effective for trauma-informed care with at-risk and high-risk adolescents.All are listed on the SAMHSA registry of evidence-based practices, the National Institute of Health, and National Institute of Drug Abuse. It is the intent of this project for youth to overcome the emotional trauma of adverse childhood experiences, learn personal self- management,general social,and drug resistance skills to succeed in school and life. Program impact will be measured on the number of youth completing the program and the number and percentage of youth who offend or re-offend following program completion.The Council contracts with University of North Texas Health Science Center to provide in-depth evaluation services.The evaluation is designed to statistically analyze the effectiveness of the Ground Zero project and help the program assess the impact of our efforts to promote long- lasting positive behavioral changes over time.

Ground Zero provides evidence-based prevention and intervention services for high-risk youth, ages 12- 17, in schools and community sites throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County.Youth may receive individual counseling,support group services,and prevention activities provided by Certified Prevention Specialist, Licensed Counselor, and Positive Alternatives Coordinator. 6. Describe the eligible crime/safety situation the target group faces. Support the description with relevant data from your agency and the community that explains the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist. Many of the youth in Fort Worth are in crisis, living with adverse experiences.Youth who have been exposed to adverse childhood experiences fail to develop psycho-social competencies,exhibit feelings of inferiority and confusion,and struggle with academic failure and social interactions.Adverse childhood experiences are identified as child abuse, homelessness, poverty,witnessing intimate partner violence,exposure to adult substance abuse, community violence,and impact of COVID-19. Such experiences have a profound impact and may lead to delinquency,truancy, gang activity, poor academic performance,violent behavior,and early onset of alcohol/drug use. Socially and emotionally impaired youth may act out their need for help through classroom disruption, violence, poor school performance and criminal activity. In 2019,Tarrant County had 2,616(4%increase over 2018)referrals to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center. In 2018, 852 Tarrant County youth were arrested for drug possession (Tarrant County Juvenile Services),and over 19%of students grades 6- 12 reported that it would be'Very Easy"to obtain marijuana if they desired. (Texas A&M University.Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use:2018). The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an alarming trend and contributed to the prevalence of juvenile crime, drug overdoses,and teen suicide.The increased isolation, idle time, reduced social interaction, reduced contact with healthy mentors, teachers, coaches,and in some cases the loss of family members or friends-all play a negative role in terms of risk to mental health,decision-making, and criminal behavior. On July 21,2021,the Star-Telegram reported on teen opioid drug overdoses soaring at Cook Children's Medical Center. Officials said recent deaths include teens as young as 14, many of which are linked to unintentional fentanyl overdoses. In March,three patients admitted for opioid overdoses had taken what they thought were Percocet pills, not knowing they were laced with fentanyl. For some teens, it's been a year of anxiety and trips to the E.R. In March 2021, a report revealed that suicidal thinking is up and families find that hospitals can't handle adolescents in crisis. Without appropriate levels of prevention and intervention, behavior problems will escalate. Youth expelled as a result of serious and persistent or felonious misbehavior in school, home or community tend to follow a destructive path into young adulthood. This downward spiral can be prevented.The Ground Zero project is a lifesaving,crime prevention and intervention program. By providing evidence-based prevention and intervention services,the project interrupts the cycle of destructive behavior, redirects adolescents toward developing the knowledge,skills, character,and attitude they need in order to lead them back to improved performance in school, reduce unhealthy behaviors,and learn self-protective habits. 7. Define the target group and how many will benefit from this project. Include defining characteristics, how the crime or safety situation (described in the previous question)affects them,and how they relate to community efforts to impact CCPD crime and safety goals. The target population for the Ground Zero project includes:youth residing in at-risk and high-risk communities in Fort Worth; youth attending Middle Level Learning Center, Metro Opportunity High School (the Discipline Alternative Education Programs for Fort Worth ISD), FWISD Middle and High Schools;other alternative education programs within the City of Fort Worth such as youth incarcerated at the Lynn W. Ross Juvenile Detention Center;and youth currently on Tarrant County Juvenile Probation. Two hundred (N=200)of these students will go through 12-sessions delivered from the Project Toward No Drugs(PTND)evidence-based curriculum. Seventy-five(N=75)students,within the same population and locations,will receive one-on-one counseling from a Licensed Professional Counselor.Two hundred (N=200)youth from the Fort Worth area and referred by Fort Worth based partners will receive prevention education about the skills and knowledge needed to remain violence,crime,and drug free through the Positive Alternative services (Teen Retreats, Prevention Parades, partnership with Fort Worth Police Department). At-risk youth live with chronic personal trauma; many are suffering from post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.Targeted education, support groups,and individual counseling with at-risk youth is critical in preventing the escalation of aggressive and risky behaviors, illegal substance use, and mental illness. Underage substance use can affect all segments of a community including children, youth,adults, and families. Crime rates, school dropout rates, teen pregnancy, dating violence, and suicide rates may all be impacted. For these reasons, it is crucial to apply prevention and intervention efforts to this specific target age group.Additionally, research shows that the brain continues to develop well into the mid-twenties,with impulse control and decision-making being some of the last functions to fully mature. With the intervention of this Ground Zero project,during these on-going years of brain maturity, new factors of protection are delivered to adolescents in t f educ ti c nection, and skill-building that can ultimately be the difference in their future involvement i ctivities PP H (0 ucm �AWRilpro rams A reement gf an t ry of health and wellness. 8. Describe your project. Discuss how you will address the causes of the crime/safety situation faced by the target group. Describe how the project will be measured and how it will impact the selected crime/safety goal. Explain how it is unique, new, and/or similar to other efforts. Include relevant data and outside sources that prove that the project is likely to achieve the desired results. The project uses 3 key strategies: (1)Ground Zero, evidence-based prevention education services using Project Toward No Drug Abuse curriculum developed by Steve Sussman, Ph.D.from University of Southern California and Institute for Prevention Research.Weekly education groups will be delivered at the Lynn W. Ross Juvenile Detention Center in Fort Worth by the Certified Prevention Specialist to adolescents that are currently on probation; (2)Individual counseling will be delivered to youth at Alternative schools in Fort Worth ISD by a Licensed Professional Counselor; (3)Positive Alternative activities including:two 4-day,Teen Retreats to provide concentrated education to adolescents in a summer camp setting; Prevention Parades in high-risk communities, participation in FWPD community events(Fall Festivals, Back to School Bash, and Holiday events). Ground Zero delivers evidence-based curriculum using the Curriculum-Based Support Group Model that has been studied for over two decades and produced positive outcomes with a diverse group of teens.The evidence-based practices that will be used by our Licensed Professional Counselor in Individual Counseling sessions include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT),Trauma-Informed Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and/or Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)therapy.These practices have been well- researched and consistently demonstrate effectiveness for trauma-informed care with at-risk and high-risk adolescents.All are listed on the SAMHSA registry of evidence-based practices and the National Institute of Health. All three strategies of this project are conducted face-to-face with adolescents who are exhibiting risk factors such as school failure, interpersonal social problems, delinquency, or other antisocial behavior.Additionally, many adolescents are faced with psychological problems, such as depression or suicidal behaviors,which increase their chances of developing a substance use disorder or criminal activity problem. The project is designed to meet the unique needs of youth in crisis and at-risk for substance use, related mental health disorders, or criminal behavior patterns.Two Teen Retreats per year will be provided and offer advanced lessons and skills for adolescents ages 13-17 living with risk factors, including but not limited to, homelessness,substance abuse in their family, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, and incarcerated or deceased parents. For the large majority of youth attending the Teen Retreats,violence and crime have been a part of their households—either by their immediate family members, by themselves,or both. Recovery Resource Council offers the only prevention program facilitating Project Toward No Drug Abuse curriculum for FWISD alternative middle and high schools. Ground Zero is also unique in its ability to offer free campus-based individual counseling services. 9. Discuss your anticipated results. Explain how the crime/safety situation will change in measurable ways for both the target group and the community. Youth in the Ground Zero program will increase their perception of harm of substance use and misuse and their level of commitment to staying violence,crime,and drug free. In addition,they will report decreased incidents of fighting,anger outbursts and feelings of worthlessness, helplessness,and depression. Those who attend the Teen Retreats will increase their knowledge and awareness of crime and safety,violence/aggression prevention strategies,and the effects of drugs and alcohol,self-esteem and self-worth.All outcome objectives will be measured based on pre/post service survey responses to the'Indicated Prevention Counseling"and"My Safe Future" survey. a) Measurable: 70%of participants that meet the attendance requirements of 10 out of 12 sessions will have an overall successful completion resulting in an increased perception of harm of substance use and misuse.This will be evaluated with a pre and post survey consisting of 10 questions about their opinion of substance use and 5 questions about their personal substance use in the last 30 days. b) Measurable: 70%of participants that complete 3 or more individual or curriculum classes will report being"Fully Committed"to staying violence, crime,and drug-free on the"My Safe Future"survey and the"indicated Prevention Counseling"survey. c)Measurable: 75%of participants in 3 or more counseling sessions will report decreased incidents of fighting,anger outbursts and feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and depression in the 2 weeks prior to assessment. This will be evaluated by the pre/post"Indicated Prevention Counseling"survey that is completed during their first and last session. d) Measurable: 75%of Teen Retreat participants will increase their knowledge and awareness of crime and safety,violence/aggression prevention strategies,and the effects of drugs and alcohol,self-esteem and self-worth.This outcome will be based on a pre/post survey given at the beginning of the week and at the end of the week. 10. If applicable, describe how the project will address the CCPD Special Emphasis: Police/Community Relations defined as "increasing existing or creating new collaborations between Fort Worth Police Department and minority/underserved community members and stakeholders." The Ground Zero program will collaborate with Police/Community Relations by requesting officers to participate in the Teen Retreats as well as the curriculum-based group services. Their role would be to contribute to the education and discussion around crime and safety as well as simply connecting and building rapport with the adolescents in attendance. Based on historical data collected by Recovery Resource Council, many participants in the Ground Zero program will be from the"minority/under-served community members and stakeholders" category. In addition, the program will have representation at FWPD sponsored Safety Fairs and other community events. Recovery Resource Council will continue collaborating with FWPD on Prevention Parades along with other agency prevention programs. Prevention parades were initiated during the pandemic as a way to continue reaching community members and providing them with educational materials, incentives,and support. In order to build the capacity of local communities to promote prevention and increase awareness of healthy alternatives, program staff will offer printed flyers, brochures, and books to all FWPD offices, store fronts, and for distribution at community events. FY2022 Community Based Programs Agreement Page 24 of 34 11. Briefly describe your agency and why it is the best to lead this project. Include how long your agency has served the community, its mission, partners, and the nature of your services. Recovery Resource Council (RRC)has had an outstanding,experienced leadership team for many years. The 2018 merger with the Dallas Council provided even more depth and knowledge with the addition of three outstanding executive management team members. In addition, eight highly passionate and strong Board members have joined the RRC Board of Directors which now consists of 23 members who reflect the values of Tarrant County, Dallas County,and the North Texas region as a whole. Critical to our success in implementing our prevention services, is the Chief Prevention Program Director, Lisa Reiling and the team of Certified Prevention Specialists and Licensed Professional Counselors. During her fourteen year leadership role at RRC, Ms. Reiling has worked diligently to expand and widen the scope of available services. She is trained in curricula for Indicated, Universal and Selective populations. She has contributed to the IC&RC Prevention Specialist Credential by continuing to collaborate with a State-wide committee as a subject matter expert and provided her input and wealth of knowledge to the process of updating and improving the Certified Prevention Specialist exam. She has transformed the department to what is considered the gold standard for Prevention Services in Texas. From the outset, Ms. Reiling has stretched not only herself professionally, but also her staff. She expects excellence on a macro level in reaching as many schools, classrooms,and children as possible;she also expects excellence on a micro level,where all Certified Prevention Specialists under her supervision are a"safe harbor"and a"charismatic adult"to the youth they serve. Over the years, Ms. Reiling's strong work ethic, leadership style,and determination have earned her awards, recognition,and professional leadership roles. In 2018, she was awarded the highest honor possible for a Prevention Specialist as the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals(TAAP)Prevention Professional of the Year.That same year, her management style and staff productivity were recognized beyond the world of Prevention and into the larger arena of non-profit businesses throughout North Texas when she was awarded the 2018 Non-Profit Program Leader of the Year. She has served as the President of the Region 3 Network of Prevention Providers(2016-2018). In 2016,the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence awarded her the Prevention Program Meritorious Award for her department's elementary prevention program, Sunshine Club. RRC's Ground Zero program is data-driven, evidence-based,and has been rigorously evaluated by a research team from the North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth. Evaluation results are used to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of this vital program that continues to exceed annual performance goals and deliver measurable impact. 12. Describe how the project fits the mission of your agency. The mission of Recovery Resource Council (RRC)is to promote wellness and recovery from alcohol and substance use disorders and trauma. Founded in 1957, Recovery Resource Council provides hope and a pathway to health and wellness for North Texas individuals and families.The organization has three North Texas locations: Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton. The address of our main location is 2700 Airport Freeway in Fort Worth,open for services from 8am-7pm Monday to Thursday; 8am-4pm on Fridays;and as needed on weekends. In November 2018,as part of a strategic merger process, Recovery Resource Council assumed management of the Greater Dallas Council of Alcohol & Drug Abuse(founded in 1946). RRC is now the largest nonresidential prevention, intervention,treatment and behavioral health nonprofit organization with a budget of$9 million and 103 employees providing services to 20 North Texas counties. Three decades of forward-thinking leadership and innovation helped RRC develop and grow critical programs and services to approximately 100,000 children, youth and adults annually.These programs include: (a) Prevention services in schools and community sites since 1985; (b)Outreach, Screening, and Referral (OSAR)services since 1990; (c)Permanent supportive housing services,case management and outreach services since 2009; (d) Prevention Resource Center(PRC)for Region 3 since 1994; (e)Community Coalition Partnership(CCP)services since 1999; (f) HUD-funded Housing First services to chronically homeless and disabled clients since 2008; (g)Federally-funded Dallas Area Drug Prevention Partnership Coalition services since 2009; (h)Intensive Outpatient substance abuse treatment since 2012; (i)Trauma therapy for veterans and family members, including their children down to age 4,since 2013. Our commitment to the people of Fort Worth and surrounding cities and towns in Tarrant County remains strong. In FY'21, Recovery Resource Council expanded our performance measurement system by activating agency-wide overarching impact program goals and outcome measurement plan. • Goal: Ensure equal access to evidence-based services and trauma informed care for all youth and adults in our community. • Goal: Promote healthy development, healthy behaviors,and well-being across all life stages. • Goal: Build a healthier community to support sustainable recovery for all youth and adults. • Goal: Improve the mental health,well-being,and quality of life by providing mental health and support services for individuals and families in crisis. Your support ensures teens struggling with trauma-related disorders, substance use or addiction have access to quality resources they need, especially during these uncertain time. 13. Describe the geographic area you will serve (i.e. city-wide, council districts,zip code, neighborhood, census tracts, etc.) and why it was selected. The program focus will be highly concentrated within the FWISD boundaries including the alternative education programs and the schools services will be provided to Lynn W. Ross Juvenile Detention Centers*00armnity Learning Center, two programs located in Fort Worth and dedicated to helping adolescents with prior offenses prevent their own recidivism. Though the location of service delivery will mostly take place in Council Districts 4, 7, 8,and 9, participants and referrals for these services will come from all Districts. This area was selected based on many collections of data including but not limited to the 2020 Regional Needs Assessment, the 2018 Texas School Safety Survey,and the Texas Department Juvenile Justice. Recovery Resource Council and the prevention education department has been serving these areas in some capacity since the 1950's.There are many longstanding relationships that have been cultivated over many decades.These relationships play a crucial role in the unified effort to decrease crime and violence throughout the City of Fort Worth. 14. Describe and list what other funds you have secured or requested on behalf of this project. If this is a new project, include a description of how you plan to maintain these services beyond the CCPD grant period. With funding from the Office of the Governor, State Criminal Justice Division, Juvenile Justice program, Recovery Resource Council has provided Ground Zero services for 465 at-risk youth over the past 3 years.This funding ($100,000/yr.for 3 years)will continue for another 3- year grant cycle. Funds from the City of Ft. Worth, CCPD will be used to expand Ground Zero services to include the Teen Retreats, increase the number of Prevention Parades in at-risk and high-risk neighborhoods, offer additional prevention activities in the Alternative Schools,and enhance our partnership with Fort Worth Police Department to provide community-wide awareness and prevention activities. Project services will be sustained beyond the CCPD grant period by building relationships with new and existing grant makers at local Foundations, Corporate Charities, and local and State resources.
