Communities of Hope Program - Mountain Comprehensive Care Center (MCCC) is applying for continuation funding for its Year 5 Communities of Hope Program (Award number: 90CU0087) funded by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Department of Health and Human Services for the period September 30, 2021 - September 29, 2022.The purpose of the project is to increase the well-being of, and to improve the permanency outcomes and safety of children affected by substance abuse by providing an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program to address the needs of parents/caretakers with substance use disorders. The project consists of an initial orientation, 3 phases of care moving from intensive substance abuse treatment to early recovery services, and maintenance (with integrated mental health care, trauma-informed care, case management, peer/recovery supports, and parenting and life skills training) then on to continuing care. In addition to the parent/caregiver, children are screened and assessed with connections to a wide array of existing age and developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed mental health care and substance abuse treatment programs (including First Steps for children birth to age 3) as well as comprehensive family planning services, counseling, and case management to integrate not only each family member's needs but the collective needs of the family to move towards greater functioning and stability.The targeted population is adults in Johnson, Martin and Floyd Counties in Kentucky who have a child, birth to age 17, in out-of-home care or who have a child at risk of being placed in out-of-home care due to the parent's or caregiver's substance abuse. The project will serve 70 participant families (adult and at least 1 child) in Year 5.
