I 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)
IN
Direct, indicated prevention services will be provided to high-risk youth populations, ages I I-17, "in
alternative schools, drug abuse and crime education programs,and juvenile justice programs througbout
Fort Worth. These populations are demonstrating early symptoms of a substance use andlor violent,
A
criminal behaviors. Although they are not yet diagnosable through the DSM-IV-'TR,this group is at
very high n'sk for the development of multiple disorders and behavioral "issues. The use,of alcohol and
other drugs by young people bn*ngs, many risks; one of the most significant being the connection
between drugs and crime. Research shows that this connection is clear and we need increased
community efforts to break the chain linking drugs and crime. Too many Fort Worth youth are
involved in this linkage by either associating with peers who are making unhealthy and unsafe choiceso-I
displaying their own problem behaviors and academic issues at school, such as truancy or falling
grades; and/or acting out in violent or rebellious manners at school and at home. Much of their
behavior reflects an inability to cope with a series of traumatic fife 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 hel shills,, knowledge they
,p youth develop the assets, and
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 nee d 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,Tarrant County Juvenile Detention C�enter,
Recovery Resource Council,and Boys& Girls Club of Greater Fort Worth. The proposed program is a
year two submission to continue addressing 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
rovi I
make safe and healthy fife choices, and reduce juvenile crime.

drunkenness: 215, DUI: 70, Liquor Law Violations: 435. Reports of Juvenile arrests for drug
possession: total.- 1034- opium/cocaine: 62; marijuana: 799; Synthetic Narcotics (RX drugs containing

According to the 2009 Drug Impact Index, Fort Worth teens abuse marijuana and other illicit drugs, at
percentages,higher,than the State average, In 200,91, 616 youth were=ested due to breaking liquor
laws, 276 for drunkenness and 132 for driving under the 'Influence; 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.
According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, alcohol and drugs are the
leading cause of crime among youth. In fact,millions of people each year are victims of alcohol or
drug related crime. Even though you may not be the person using drugs, or violating the law, you can
certainly be a victim of a drug-related crime. Many of the local problems within Fort, Worth and
Tarrant County as a whole can be attributed to these variables related to drugs and the crimes that
typically follow. Substance abuse, violence, and crime are public health challenges for any community.
Prevention education and intervention services are vital components in addressing crime and safety
concerns in Fort Worth.
Too many of our youth are in crisis. Each year, more than 600,000 students between the ages of 18 and
24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking. These behaviors are a reflection of their
inability to cope with stress and to experience pleasure in healthy ways. These behaviors can be
prevented by educating and empowering youth ire their younger years., This project aims to strengthen
0
developmental assets, increase knowledge,expose potential, deliver hope, and reduce problem
behaviors of our Fort Worth youth.
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.
I designed rru te en
The Council's Youth Intervention & Prevention program is es i gne to inte pt the cycle of en
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) supiplort efforts to Increase the safety of youth a
reduce juvenile crime through crime prevention and intervention, programs.
Using three service components'),the program promotes efforts to increase youth safety and reduce
J uver ile 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
. 0, 11
to substance abuse treatment. Each service component s a in detail below:
1. Community outreach is provided in collaboration with the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention
Center. Recovery Resource Council's Prevention Speci*ali'st provides a I-hour educational
presentation,,,three times per week,at this Fort Worth campus. Participants are Level I and Level 11
juvenile offenders, both male and,female, ages 11 to 17, who are detained as a result of their
individual crimes. The content of these presentations focuses on safe choices, consequences to
drugs, violence,,and crime, healthy alternatives, identification of personal skills, and development
of future potential. Each week youth,attending these sessions also have an opportunity to meet
individually with Recovery,Resource Council staff for one-oin-one mentoring. These community
outreach services provide a=ique opportunity to identify underserved youth who are at-risk of
being pulled further into violent, antisocial behaviors or are in need of sub:sitance 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 TI ND), 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, including 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-rm*nuteindividual 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 anger control,communication,, family relationships, decision making,
and goal attainment.
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
4
need of more intensive services are assessea, Li,
y the Prevention Specialist and referred to
appropriate treatment resources, in the community:. Because parent parti'ci'pationi's asignificant
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 CC M priority/special emphasis of the prevention or
intervention of youth violence and/or family violence? Describe how your program
addresses th is priority?
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 str,essors,
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 taxget 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 PT ND curriculum series will show a decrease in alcohol and
other drug use,
90%of all youth who complete P or attend Detention Center groups will report learning 2
or more ways to remain safe and crime-free.
• 75%of youth who complete the PTND1 series wil I 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
5) W' o will the program benefit? How many people? What age group? What geographic
area erve
"ll it '? Please include gelolg;raphic bounda,ries.
%,
The program will benefit at-risk and high-risk youth, ages 11 — 17 in addition to the community at
large. With more than 23 million people over the age of'12 addicted to alcohol and other drugs,and the
array of crimes that are often connected ,the benefits of this program would range;from 'increased,
personal, student success to reduced community costs. The at-risk targiet population attends the Middle
Level Leaming Center, an alternative school operated by-Fort Worth Independent School District or
resides in the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center. The school is located at 4921 Benbrook
Highway in the 76116 zip code area of Fort Worth and the Detention Center is located at 2701 Kimbo,
Rd in the 76111 zip code of Fort Worth. Other program participants(high-risk youth)receive services
at one of 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 thils, program unique from any other crime prevention program in Fort Worth?
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, connectionsl 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 profess,tonal ism, high moral 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 experi,ences which they take to the locations to serve the you 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 qua[ity 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 prograrn?
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 4 years, and providing intervention,and prevention services at the
Middle Level Learning Center for 6 years. For 10 years, the Texas Department of Health Services
(DH 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 prevent-ion services ior
troubled teens. Program revenues total $4 3,000 and expenses total $493,156,,, leaving a$50,000 short-
fall. In October 2011, the Office of the Governor discontinued funding to nonprofit organizations via
Criminal Justice Division (CJD), Juvenile 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 to a population with significantlly unmet needs,.,
6
A*
8l): 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 a�nd the tirnefrarne in which this
will occur.
This is an ongoing program. With support ftorn the City of Fort Worth, we are prepared to continue
services and activities on October 1, 2013. The Middle Level learning Center, Juverlide Detention
Center, axed boys& Girls Clubs offort 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 play partial salary and benefits for three full time Prevention Specialists;
a portion of her/his travel and training expenses, program supplies needed to serve 5010 youth-, and a
Aw
portion of the direct program operating costs for telephone service,,printing costs,,and postage. The
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.
110) If funds are awardlied, will this program continue beyond the CCPD funding period?
Please explain your plan to sustain this grog ram.
Intervention and prevention services for youth have been sustained by Recovery Resource Council for
over 10 years. We are colmmi tted 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
Braising 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 prograrns. 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,.
