Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Henry and Rilla White Foundation proposes to provide intensive family-based reunification to the parents and children involved in Escambia County's Family-Focused Parent Drug Court. The Foundation will provide a team of three family intervention specialists to assist both the parent and child during the transition from separation to reunification. The family intervention specialists will be assigned to the family during the final stages of the drug program, after the parent has been sober for 5 months prior to reunification.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

The Foundation will provide intensive in-home services and interventions, including support and oversight for the family and child. Treatment interventions will address the relationship dysfunction caused by the substance abuse and separation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Reduction of child abuse and neglect during the reunification periods; safe and nurturing family-setting for the child at the time of reunification; reduction of detrimental family dysfunction caused by substance abuse and separation; and, reduction of relapse caused by the stresses of reunification and family dysfunction.
