OJJDP FY 2014 Family Drug Court Statewide System Reform Grant Application

Court systems in Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, New York State, and Ohio are planning to expand the statewide reach of family drug courts (FDC) to improve outcomes for families involved with the child welfare system due to parental addiction disorders. FDCs bring together addiction treatment, mental health, and other social service agencies to meet the needs of the family as a whole, with the goal of increasing parental participation in treatment. This document is the Statewide System Reform Program (SSRP) grant application to expand FDCs released by the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) in June 2014 . . .
