Oneida Family Treatment Court RECOVERY Project - The Oneida County Family Treatment Court (hereinafter OCFTC) is an Integrated Court that supports parents with co-occurring disorders within the welfare system. Since 2004, OCFTC has been collaborating with local community agencies to provide treatment and resources aimed at reunifying families. The court will develop the “RECOVERY” project (Resilience, Empower, Create, Overcome, Validate, Enhance, Reunify, and Yield) in partnership with Helio Health, Cayuga Center, and Viewpoint Clinical Therapy Services. Grant funds will allow the court to serve a total of 175 new participants over 5 years, (35 year 1, 35 year 2, 35 year 3, 35 year 4, 35 year 5). OCFTC will target underserved, moderate to high-risk/need individuals suffering from co-occurring disorders. Grant funds will enable the court to 1) employ an OCA Case Manager I to assist with data collection, 2) employ a full-time Family Support Navigator through Helio Health specializing in Recovery Capital and Moral Reconation Therapy, 3) employ a Prevention Family Peer Coach through Cayuga Center to empower families through utilizing the S.M.A.R.T method, Family Functioning Therapy, and SafeCare and 4) employ a child and family therapist through ViewPoint Clinical Therapy Services, LCSW, PLLC to facilitate several targeted evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR, DBT, and REBT, with individuals and family members. The objectives also include addressing CDC protective factors, team training for sustainability, and increasing data collection, which will be measured by scaling techniques, interviews, focus groups, and surveys. This grant will enhance the OCFTC by implementing more evidence-based treatments, enhancing data collections, serving a diverse population, and strengthening community partnership. By investing in OCFTC, the program will continue to create a more supportive and effective system for families in crisis, ultimately leading to healthier outcomes for children and parents in Oneida County.
