East Bay Community Recovery Project in West Oakland, California, is proposing to enhance and expand its service offered at Project Pride, its residential treatment program for women with co-occurring substance use and mental health diagnoses and their children. Project Pride serves a diverse population of low-income women and their children in Oakland, primarily African American and Latinas. The women tend to arrive in crisis due to arrest and incarceration, homelessness, loss of custody of their child(ren) due to abuse or neglect, an overdose, or other trauma. Project Pride provides stability, treatment for co-occurring disorders, parenting education and workforce development services. Family services at Project Pride are delivered through the Protective Factors framework to strengthen the mother’s resiliency and protect against further trauma for the mother and child. The proposal is designed to help these vulnerable families to thrive by offering expanded and/or enhanced services to residents at Project Pride, their children, and their partners and extended family members, to continue the transition of services at Project Pride from a client-centered to a family-centered approach. Newly expanded services to be provided through this effort include: screening and assessment for co-occurring disorders (expanded to serve family members), screening for FASD (new service to be added to programming for women and adult family members), case management and benefits linkages (enhanced for women, and expanded to serve family members), expanded clinical services for family members including short-term individual counseling, a men’s group, and couples and family counseling. Additionally, there will be workforce development assistance and referrals for family members and services for children not in residence with their mothers. Parenting education will be made available to partners and family members and will be enhanced with the addition of the Nurturing Families Program, an evidence-based program that is deeply aligned with the Project Pride family and children’s program design, based in the Protective Factors model. The project proposes to serve a total of 475 individuals over the course of the five years, 95 each year, as follows: 30 residents of the program, 30 family members, 20 children in residence and 15 children not in residence with their mothers. The project will employ a total of 4.25 FTE of staff, including 3 new full-time staff members.
