PROGRAM ABSTRACT
Prov-1de a story description of your program to be funded.Please siunmarize the problem and what
your program will do to address it.(Roughly 2 paragraphs in length on a separate page)
As a collaborative, non-profit organization, Recovery Resource Council is offering Year 2 of the
"Preventing Violence and Crime: PVC Pipeline" project as a prevention/intervention program to
continue supporting Fort Worth's efforts to increase the safety and reduce juvenile crime in our city.
The PVC Pipeline project was initiated in FYI as a result of CCPD funding in an effort to increase
coping, social, and life skills of students by empowering them with education, empathy,and tools to
make healthy decisions and to remain drug-free, crime-free, and violence-free.FYI project success
is represented on"Program Activities and Effectiveness Measurement Reports"from the 2015 Year 1
funding cycle. This application is being submitted to request continuation of CCPD funding for a
second year of the PVC Pipeline project. The evidence-based Life S?"ills Training curriculum (15
sessions)will be delivered,throughout the entire school year, in classroom style instruction to 6d`-8th
graders attending one of four high-need middle schools in Fort Worth ISD(Morningside Middle,Jean
McClung Middle, Meacham Middle, and JP Elder Middle). These middle schools and this
"Preventing Violence and Crime (PVC)"program were selected based upon two sets of risk factors:
1)The volume of at risk students and the frequency of disciplinary referrals to alternative school due
to various problem behaviors and policy violations among students such as aggression, violence,
threats,and substance abuse. 2)The Priority/Focus ranking of each campus as a result of overall low
test scores. The PVC project will also be delivered as weekly support group sessions within
homeless/domestic violence shelters in Fort Worth throughout both the school year and the summer
months.
The focus of the PVC Pipeline project is to foster productive,responsible behaviors in youth through
the delivery of critical life skills training and the strengthening of protective factors in the lives of
Fart "North youth attending high-need school campuses and homeless/domestic violence shelters.
Program content addresses strategies to remain violence and crime free, provides opportunities for
pro-social involvement, increased autonomy and interdependence, development of sense of purpose,
increased social skills,peaceful conflict resolution skills,improved communication and coping skills,
enhanced knowledge of the health impacts of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, improved decision
making/problem solving skills and bonding to family, teachers and peers with healthy beliefs and
clear standards. This program will also contribute to the City of Fort Worth's Blue Zone project
which is committed to making our city a healthier place to live. The PVC Pipeline project will
inspire daily healthy habits and actions in our community's youth and direct them in taking a
conscious, active role in promoting the wellness of Fort Worth. Throughout the year, youth will be
challenged with personal service projects aimed at improving the Fort"Vorth community.
The"Send A Message That Matters"awareness campaign will be incorporated into each service site.
"Send A Message That Matters" is a Public Awareness Campaign that uses various print and media
outlets to expose youth to positive messaging. The purpose of the campaign is to empower, educate
and excite youth via a text-messaging concept that they can easily relate to. While emphasizing the
value of respect, both for oneself and for others, this campaign is focused on generating a positive
sense of well-being, creating a spirit of hope and promoting healthy decision-making among our Fort
Worth conummity's youth. Media influence is one of the most powerful forces on today's young
people, and cell phones are the number one communication device of choice. "Send A Message That
Matters" incorporates both methods in an attempt to create a "pipeline" of health promotion
messaging that generates positive motivations and actions in youth.

PROPOSAL NARRATIVE:
Provide a 4-5 page descripticn of your program to be funded. In this narrative, please respond to
each of tae Ulowing questions:
1) Describe in detail the problem that your program addresses.
It is an unfortunate reality that many Fort Worth youth are living with risk factors and are growing up
in environments that promote the prevalence of drug use, violence and crime. These environments
are often void of healthy role models, positive nurturing, and people who are committed to their
child's success. Far too many Fort Worth youth live with violence, neglect, and substance abuse
which are significant risk factors for future crime. Consider the psychological and emotional effects
of such environments. These youth have difficulty trusting anyone, articulating goals and desires,
feeling that they have any worth and believing that the future holds something better than the
darkness life has shown them. They act out of anger, Burt and fear. The Preventing Violence and
Crime: PVC Pipeline project offers a positive vision of what life can be and empowers them with the
tools to achieve it The program encourages citizenship through schoolwork, excellence,
responsibility and the idea that young people have the talents and capacity that are valuable to the
world. Numerous students have faced intense adversity without turning to crime. One viable
explanation for this is that some form of prevention/intervention has been present in their lives that
demonstrated the vision of'!he capability of each youth. 'the PVC project and its' evidence-based
Life Skills series,can be that protective factor for Fort Worth youth who are heading down the wrong
path and showing early warning signs of destructive behaviors.
Many of the problems of adolescence begin to surface in the turning point years of ten through
fourteen. Important in its own right as a potentially rewarding time of personal growth and
development,early adolescence is the phase when young people begin to adopt behavior patterns that
can have Iif-,long consequences. At the same time, it is an age when, much like younger children,
individuals still need skill building, nurturing and adult guidance. For these reasons, early
adolescence off%rs a unique window of opportunity to empower youth with critical life skills and to
shape enduring patterns of healthy behavior. The PVC project delivers the proactive patterns of
behavior that we want our Fort Worth youth to possess. Young adolescents initially explore risk-
taking behaviors tentatively. That is why, before damaging patterns are firmly established, it is
important to intervene early to prevent later casualties and promote more successful outcomes.
Adolescence,in fact,is the last phase of life in which society has reasonably ready-access to virtually
the entire poprlation, so the potential for constructive influence during the middle school years is
promising. The schools selected for PVC services show student need based upon a high percentage
of students at-risk and low student/counselor ratios. Student support services in our school districts
are limited with most having only one counselor available to as many as 750 students. The problems
and patterns of these districts are emphasized by county statistics, arrest reports, and alternative
school attendance records. There is a tremendous need for additional student support services and the
proposed PVC pipeline project will effectively increase life skills knowledge,perception of substance
use harm,and motivation to remain violence and crime free within the target groups.
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 ft 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.
Recovery Resource Council has well established youth health and wellness programs throughout the
community and within local school systems to help children and adolescents succeed in school, live
safe, healthy lives and develop their potential. The "Preventing Violence and Crime:PVC Pipeline"
RFP No.15-0193,FY 2016 Community Based Programs,page 5
project delivers interactive lessons and activities to high risk school campuses and shelters in the City
of Fort Worth in order to keep kids on the pathway of healthy decision-making. The PVC project
includes 15 research based lessons on topics such as violence, anger-control, conflict resolution,
drugs use,and coping with anxiety,Youth learn strategies to improve skills in communication,social
integration, and assertiveness to incorporate into their daily and lifelong goals of remaining violence
and crime-free. For over 25 years,the Prevention Specialist staff of Recovery Resource Council has
invested their resources in directing youth attitudes and motivations toward positive behaviors. With
children exposed to negative behavior patterns such as bullying, crime, drug use and violence, as
early as elementary school, education and supportive services must be provided at younger and
younger ages, and our community is no exception. The PVC Pipeline project is committed to
providing high-quality preventative services to Fort Worth youth to aide them in their life trajectory
of success, health, and wellness. Youth participate in classroom lessons that reinforce positive
attributes, develop their sense of purpose, decrease their intent to engage in high-risk behaviors, and
increase their ability to visualize positive futures, The PVC project equips youth with skills necessary
to stay on the "pipeline of success" and to steer clear of problem behaviors that bring negative
consequences. Youth are provided with weekly life skills training to avoid the dangers of drugs and
other high-risk behaviors that deter individual success in both school and life. The PVC Pipeline
project is dedicated to making a positive diff'erence and a lasting impact on the lives of youth by
delivering education,inspiring hope,and creating safe,enriching environments for youth to thrive.
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?
The effectiveness of the PVC project and its'Life Skills series in reducing and preventing drug use and
violence is due in part to instructional activities and strategies that require the exploration of concepts,
analysis of norms, and practice of skills in small and large, cooperative leacniEag groups. The student
materials provide tutorials that require comprehension and interImMon of concepts through reading
the written word.Activities require students to read and understand the specks of the situation as well
as the possible implications of the scenarios being presented and to use this information in developing
effective, s'.kall-based, non-violent responses. The main objectives of the violence unit within the life
skills series is to influence youth awareness and perceptions about violence; to identify the harmful
effects of violent behaviors and the distorted imagery the media presents; and to emphasize that
violence is not an acceptable option for solving problems. The PVC project delivers weekly support
groups in Fort Worth homeless/domestic violence shelters to convey these messages while taking more
of a therapeutic approach to provide supportive guidance and mentorship to youth who are victims of
domestic violence. The main objectives throughout the shelter gaups are to help youth understand that
the violence in their families is not their fault;they are not alone; and they can choose healthy, non-
violent ways to express their feelings.
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.
PVC program facilitator will implement 2 pre-tests on day one of the series and 2 post tests on the final
day of the series. One test will measure life skill knowledge and the other will measure perception of
drug use harm. Also,on the last day of the school-based series,or after session 3 of the shelter support
group series,youth will complete a"My Safe Future/Our Safe Community"survey which will measure
their attitudes, intentions, and skill level in remaining safe and free from violence and crime.
Attendance for all activities will be documented for each session and records for all testing instruments,
service agreements,and evaluations will be kept in group file folders for each participating class. Data
will be entered into an education database for summary and evaluation of outcomes. Statistical data
RFP No.15-0193,FY 2016 Community Based Programs,Page 6
generated by this internal database will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of service delivery. The
Director of Prevention Services will work cooperatively with the PVC facilitator to ensure high-quality
service delivery. Program goals and delivery requirements will be monitored for each PVC Pipeline
site throughout the contract year. Staff observations will be conducted throughout the school year to
ensure a high level of competence and integrity. These observations include monitoring for curriculum
fidelity, session content documentation, and cultural competence. The Director of Prevention Services
will assess program achievement and develop improvement plans as necessary. Specific CCPD
performance measures are provided in the"Activities and Outcomes Summary"of this RFP,along with
a more detailed description of evaluation tools and data collection methods.
Program effectiveness is treasured on the following outcomes:
85% of youth who attend at least 12 of the 15 sessions will show an increase in life skills
knowledge.
4 75%of youth who attend at least 12 of the 15 sessions will show an increase in the perception of
drug use harm.
75% of youth who attend at least 12 of the 15 sessions will report being "Fully Committed" to
remaining violence and crime free.
90%of youth who attend at least 12 of the 15 sessions(or 3 shelter sessions)will report learning 2
or more ways to stay safe and healthy throughout their middle and high school years.
80% of youth who attend at least 3 shelter groups will report being "Fully Committed" to
remaining violence and crime free.
e 75%of youth participating in the"Send A Message that Matters'campaign will deliver violence
and crime free messages to others.
►� 80% of youth participating in the PVC: Preventing Violence and Crime Pipeline project will
complete at least 12 of the 15 classroom lessons of the,Life Skills series.
Selected youth will also: 1) Create their own anti-violence, anti-crime, safety-promotion "Send A
Message That Matters" advertisement to be displayed within their school/shelter sites/community
businesses. 2) Write letters to other youth to spread positive messaging and to inspire healthy
decision-making. 3)Complete a personal service project to improve their school,their neighborhood,
or the Fort Werth:community at large.
5) Mho will the program benefit? How many people? What age group? What geographic area will it
serve? Please include geographic boundaries.
The program will benefit youth in grades 6's-8"who are students in either Morningside Middle, Jean
McClung Middle,Meacham Middle, or JP Elder Middle school and youth ages 8-17 who are residents
in a Fort`?North shelter. All middle schools are operated by Fort Worth Independent School District
and are located in tre 76107 (Morningside), 76112 (McClung), 76106 (Meacham), and 76164 (JP
Elder)zip codes within the city of Fort Worth. All schools include a majority African-American and
Hispanic population which, according to the 2013 Tarrant County Criminal Justice Community Plan,
is a priority target group based upon the disproportionately high detainment and arrest rates among
these groups.
Each shelters is located in the 76102 zip code. 800 unduplioated students will be served within school
settings and 200 unduplicated youth will be served within shelter settings. The program will also
benefit the youth and community members who are exposed to the "Send A Message That Matters"
campaign or who benefit from a service project.
RFP No.15-0193,FY 2016 Community Based Programs,Page 7
6) What makes this program unique from any other crime prevention program in Fort Worth?
Recovery Resource Council implements research based curriculum that is proven effective. The Life
Skills Training (LST) curriculum, to be used as the core content of this PVC Pipeline project, is
proven to cut verbal and physical aggression, fighting and delinquency by up to 50%. According to
an October 2013 Washington State Institute for Public Policy report on the economic benefit of
evidence-based prevention programs, the LST curriculum produced a$50 benefit for every dollar
invested in terms of reduced corrections costs, welfare and social services burden, drug and mental
health treatment; and increased employment and tax revenue. LST had the highest return on
investment for all of school-based prevention programs studied. The analysis of the return on
investment of LST and other evidence-based prevention programs is part of a series of reports
prepared by researchers at the Washington State institute for Public Policy. Together, these reports
consistently show effective prevention programs not only work but can produce dramatic savings.
The Life Skills series has been in over 30 scientific studies and major findings show that the
curriculum reduces drug and alcohol abuse, crime rates, and violence in schools. With a National
Registry of Effective Prevention Program(NREPP)rating of 4.0 out of 4.0,LST is a curriculum that
is proven effective in classroom settings. Effectiveness has been studied in all 53 states,District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. LST has been implemented with an estimated 3
million students. The curriculum is designed to provide youth with the motivation skills necessary to
resist peer pressure to use drugs, to understand violence and crime in the media, while remaining
personally violence and crime free,and to face the challenges of adolescence in a heaa`thy,productive
manner. With the introduction of the PVC Pipeline project in selected middle schools and Fort North
shelters, knowledge and skills are introduced at critical points in the developmental trajectory to
support the promotion of health,wellness,and safety for individuals,schools,and communities.
Recovery Resource Council believes in the potential of every youth and in the power of prevention.
Our outcomes demonstrate that problem behaviors can be avoided,reduced,or eliminated when youth
are empowered with education,skills,and opportunity. Our team knows that every interaction a child
has during the course of a day influences the adult that the child will become. We provide all services
with this in Lund. We are dedicated to the positive connections,role modeling,and skill building that
is required to promote the overall health and well-being of youth. The PVC Pipeline project is
operated with professionalism, high moral character, and ethics while upholding our agency core
values of empowerment,integrity,compassion,and vision.
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 employed trained Life Skills Prevention Specialist staff and have been facilitating life skills
classes to youth throughout Tarrant County for over 20 years. Two of the high-need schools identified
for this PVC Pipeline project began participating in the project during the ,FY2015 project year
(Morningside and McClung); however, the other two schools represent Year 2 project expansion
(Meacham and 7P Elder)and are not currently receiving the service but have mipressed a need and
desire for our support. CCPD funds are necessary at this time in order to continue offering the PVC
Pipeline project to FWISD. Recovery Resource Council sustained a 30% cut ($152,336) from the
Department of State Health Services in the fall of 2013,for Life Skills programming. As a result,two
full-time facilitators of the Life Skills series were laid off and our capacity to provide evidence-based
prevention education services to Fort Worth youth was reduced by approximately 2,000 students.
FY15 CCPD support of this PVC project enabled uc to rededicate one full-time employee to the
safety, health, and wellness of the youth in these Fort Worth schools and shelters. We have been
serving the Fort Worth shelters for the past 8 years. Year 2 CCPD funding for FY16 would make it
possible for us to sustain this staffing pattern to continue programming at current capacity.
RFP No.15-0193,FY 2016 Community Based Programs,Page 8
The resources that are currently used to operate the"Project Ascent"program,which also uses the Life
Skills curriculum, is 5.5 full time professional staff who are funded by DSHS program revenue of
$350,000 per year and 90% of one full time professional staff who is funded by CCPD revenue of
$56,133.
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.
The provision of Life Skills Training curriculum is an ongoing service of Recovery Resource Council,
The PVC Pipeline project is an extension of that programming. The PVC Pipeline emphasizes the
violence, anger control, and conflict resolution sessions that are optional in our current Life Shills
Training program. In the PVC Pipeline project, these sessions become the centerpiece of the program
and represent its -rain goals and objectives. Support from the City of Fort Worth enabled us to
recover one full-time position and extend our services to identified campuses in need. Service
agreements are in place with schools and meetings have been held with school counselors to review
program structure and specific campus needs. Year 2 services will begin during the fall semester of
the 2015/2016 school year and will continue throughout the entire school year. After-school and
summer services for each school will be offered as needed. One-on-one counseling and referral
services will also be available for students needing additional support and guidance. Life skills groups
at the shelters will take place during both the school year and the summer months.
9) Briefly describe the specific expenditures planned for CCPD funding. You MUST fully complete
attached budget forms.
Year 2 CCPD funding will be used to pay 100%of the salary and benefits of one full-time Prevention
Specialist; a portion of his or her travelltraining expenses; program supplies needed to serve 800
students; and a portion of the direct program operating costs for telephone service, printing costs,and
computer IT support. The CCPD funded staff person would use the facility at Recovery Resource
Council for supervision,planning, preparation, documentation, data submission,and evaluation. The
staff person would have a desk, computer, and access to telephone and copy machine. A completed
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.
Recovery Resource Council is committed to sustaining and expanding prevention education
programming through State funding, private foundation and personal contributions,United NVay of
Tarrant County, income producing programs and agency fundraising events. To achieve its goals for
prevention services,the Board and staff have developed a strategic vision and made an investment in
realizing that vision. In May of 2013, in response to the reduction in federel grant allocations, a
Director of Major Gifts was hired who launched a comprehensive program to generate increased
revenues. One initial gcal of achieving 30 donor cultivation sessions per month has been far
exceeded as these sessions have increased in some months to 70. Recovery Resource Council kicked
off its' capital campaign in March 2014 with a goal of increasing annual program revenue through the
elimination of current office building debt. Recovery Resource Council submits an average of 50
foundation proposals per year to support and expand prevention services. Planning and exploring the
potential of an array of funding strategies is of paramount importance to our Council's vision for
state-of-the-art,comprehensive and effective prevention program services for Tarrant County.
