How far have we come?

Adoption and Safe Families Act

  • Cases lingering in Court

system as parents cycled in and out of treatment

months or even years

  • Emphasis on establishing

permanency within federally mandated time frames

Systems with multiple:

  • Mandates
  • Training
  • Values
  • Timing
  • Methods

The need for immediate and efficient intervention became overwhelmingly important in the face of implementing the Adoption and Safe Families Act

15

Common Ingredients of FDCs

  • System of

identifying families

  • Earlier access

to assessment and treatment services

  • Increased

management of recovery services and compliance

  • Responses to

participant behaviors (sanctions & incentives)

  • Increased

judicial

  • versight

 Holistic approach, addresses family well-being  FDCs hold parents accountable for their recovery and

systems accountable for child outcomes

 Family stress and trauma can greatly contribute to relapse  Family stability can greatly contribute to recovery

FDCs are Serving Families

What about families with:

  • Co-occurring

mental health

  • Criminal

history

  • Inadequate

housing

  • Domestic

violence

25

Parents with extensive criminal histories, inadequate housing, and a greater risk for DV were more likely to complete FDC than those without these risk factors.
