Prevention
Programs for Youth
Chemical dependency can be an even heavier burden for
someone about to give birth, or with a newborn or young child. These women
require special assistance not only for themselves, but for the child they
carry and will be responsible for. Their needs are unique, and their
challenges many.
 Perinatal Program
Full case management, including
needs assessment, links to community support organizations, progress
monitoring, crisis intervention, and rights advocacy.
Help in finding pre-natal and post-natal care,
housing, child care, medical care, and transportation.
Referrals for addiction treatment, prevention, psychiatric and
mental health counseling, nutritional assessment, parenting guidance,
and domestic abuse issues.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome prevention and education.
Division Family Services liaisons provide
support and case management to prevent or reduce the duration of out-of-home
placements.
Women
In Transition
Program
Specifically for substance abusers receiving
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Helps close the gap between
State services and client needs.
Case managers help clients prevent interruption
of their benefits, and to obtain employment.
Individualized services treat the client as a
unique person with specific needs and concerns to be addressed.
For more information on the Women In Transition and Perinatal
programs, please contact Margarita Jaimes at 656-2348.
Prevention Programs for Youth
BCI prevention
programs increase protective factors for youth, educate parents and children about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and increase the perception of danger of drug
use.
Focus on Families
is a science-based intervention for families in which parents are addicted
to drugs or alcohol.
-
Parents and children attend group counseling and
receive case management aimed at reducing parents' illegal drug use and
children's risk factors.
-
Individual case management
by our Prevention Specialist reinforces the
skills learned and applies them to the home environment. Children practice the
skills with their parents.
-
Session
topics include family goal setting, relapse prevention, family communication
skills, and helping children succeed in school.
-
Upon completion of the 16
week program, participants graduate and receive a certificate.
-
Focus on Families is free and you do not have to be a BCI client. For more
information or to sign up, please contact Jackie Akins at 656-2348, ext.
118.
