NATIONAL CASA ASSOCIATION - TRAINING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM

NATIONAL CASA/GAL PARTNERS WITH STATE AND LOCAL MEMBER PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT COURT-APPOINTED VOLUNTEERS WHO ADVOCATE FOR A CHILD'S BEST INTEREST AND WORK TO STRENGTHEN FAMILIES. 941 STATE AND LOCAL CASA/GAL PROGRAMS IN 49 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RECRUIT, TRAIN AND SUPERVISE 88,000 VOLUNTEERS. THEY WORK INDIVIDUALLY WITH 227,500 CHILDREN TO ENSURE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN ARE KNOWN AND ADDRESSED BY THE COURT, CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM AND COMMUNITY. STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE LIFE-CHANGING IMPACT OF THE CASA/GAL MODEL: CHILDREN ARE LESS LIKELY TO RE-ENTER THE SYSTEM AFTER CASE CLOSURE, MORE LIKELY TO DO BETTER IN SCHOOL AND THEY AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE NEEDED SERVICES. THE NATIONWIDE CASA/GAL NETWORK CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SERVE ALL CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE WITH BEST INTEREST ADVOCACY. AS A PRIMARY METHOD OF INCREASING SERVICES, NATIONAL CASA/GAL WILL PROVIDE SUBAWARDS TO LOCAL AND STATE CASA/GAL ORGANIZATIONS TO START NEW PROGRAMS, EXPAND SERVICES AND RECRUIT MORE AND DIVERSE VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE CHILDREN. REQUESTED FUNDING WILL PROVIDE NEARLY $13 MILLION IN SUBAWARDS FOR PROGRAM GROWTH, VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT, STRATEGIC PLANNING DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS, CAPACITY-BUILDING AND NEEDS-BASED SUPPORT. EFFORTS RESULTING FROM FUNDING WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS, JURISDICTIONS SERVED, VOLUNTEERS ASSIGNED AND CHILDREN SERVED, AND SUPPORT INNOVATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY, IMPROVE CAPACITY AND HELP SUSTAIN SERVICES. OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR WHICH FUNDING WILL SUPPORT ARE YOUTH AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND A GRANTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

CASA CARE IS A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC (CCBHC) INITIATIVE PROVIDING CULTURALLY FOCUSED, COMPREHENSIVE, COORDINATED HEALTH CARE TO LATINX INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN GREATER BOSTON - CASA CARE IS A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC (CCBHC) INITIATIVE PROVIDING CULTURALLY FOCUSED, COMPREHENSIVE, COORDINATED HEALTH CARE TO LATINX INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN GREATER BOSTON, HOME TO MASSACHUSETTS’S LARGEST LATINX POPULATION. THE POPULATION OF FOCUS FOR CASA CARE IS LOW-INCOME LATINXS EXPERIENCING SUBSTANCE MISUSE OR MENTAL ILLNESS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESSES (SMI). ABOUT 700 PEOPLE WILL BE SERVED BY THE PROJECT (100 IN YEAR 1; 200 IN YEARS 2-4). THE INTERSECTION OF THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, OPIOID EPIDEMIC, AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS IN GREATER BOSTON HAS BEEN DEEPLY EXACERBATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND STRUCTURAL FACTORS (E.G., RACISM AND CLASS INEQUALITY), PARTICULARLY FOR THE LARGELY HOMELESS AND/OR RECENTLY INCARCERATED LATINX PATIENTS CASA SERVES. DUE TO THE BARRIERS LATINXS FACE WHEN ACCESSING SUD AND COD TREATMENT, THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAUMA-INFORMED, CULTURALLY COMPETENT, EVIDENCE-BASED CARE; LESS LIKELY TO REMAIN IN CARE IF THEY RECEIVE IT; AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO OVERDOSE AND DIE THAN THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS. MINDFUL OF ROBUST RESEARCH DEMONSTRATING THAT LATINX PATIENTS ARE TREMENDOUSLY MORE LIKELY TO BENEFIT FROM CARE IF IT IS ATTUNED TO THEIR CULTURAL NEEDS, CASA CARE IS A STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO ADDRESS TREATMENT DISPARITIES FACING GREATER BOSTON’S LOW-INCOME, LATINX RESIDENTS. SINCE OPENING ITS DOORS IN 1984, CASA ESPERANZA HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH LEADING ACADEMICS, POLICYMAKERS, ADVOCATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS TO DEVELOP AN INTRICATE NETWORK OF EVIDENCE-BASED RECOVERY PATHWAYS LEADING PATIENTS TO HEALTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIFESTYLES. RELYING ON ESTABLISHED MEDICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH, CASA CARE IS CENTERED ON FIVE GOALS THAT WILL FACILITATE COMMUNITY PUBLIC HEALTH. EACH OF THESE GOALS IS INFORMED BY THE INTEGRATED DUAL DISORDER TREATMENT (IDDT) MODEL, A WIDELY TESTED SET OF INTERVENTIONS SUITABLE FOR LONG-TERM USE. CASA CARE’S FIVE GOALS ARE: (1) CONDUCTING A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY EXISTING COMMUNITY NEEDS AND INCREASE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES FOR LATINX WITH SUD, SMI, OR COD; (2) IMPROVING ACCESS TO AND UTILIZATION OF CULTURALLY FOCUSED, BILINGUAL, TRAUMA-INFORMED, INTEGRATED SUBSTANCE USE, MENTAL HEALTH, AND PRIMARY CARE FOR LATINXS; (3) DEVELOPING A ROBUST HEALTH NETWORK AND CLINICAL OPERATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF CASA’S COMPREHENSIVE CONTINUUM OF TRAUMA-INFORMED, EVIDENCE-BASED, INTEGRATED OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE SERVICES; (4) ENHANCING HIT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT ALIGNMENT WITH CCBHC CRITERIA; AND (5) DEVELOPING A ROBUST PLAN FOR STAFFING, ONGOING TRAINING AND DELIVERY OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES. BY DELIVERING QUALITY SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT, TREATMENT PLANNING, OUTPATIENT SERVICES, TARGETED CASE MANAGEMENT, RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SERVICES, CRISIS STABILIZATION SERVICES, PEER SUPPORT SERVICES, REENTRY SERVICES, AND PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE, AND OTHER SERVICES, CASA CARE ACTIVELY STRIVES TO BRIDGE THE TREATMENT GAP.

PEERS ARE PEOPLE WITH LIVED-EXPERIENCE WITH SUD/OUD AND ARE BEST ABLE TO ENGAGE AND SUPPORT PERSONS WITH OUD IN THEIR LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND ASSIST THEM IN ACCESSING ANY SUPPORTS THEY MAY NEED TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES TO THEIR RECOVERY. A PEER AFFILIATED WITH THE HOSPITAL IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY WILL DIRECTLY CONNECT PERSONS WITH OUD WITH NEEDED SERVICES. AS A RESULT OF THESE ADDITIONAL SERVICES, OVER 4,500 PEOPLE (UNDUPLICATED) WILL RECEIVE NEEDED SERVICE FOR OUD OVER FOUR YEARS, INCLUDING OVER 2,300 RECEIVING TREATMENT SERVICES AND OVER 2,200 BENEFITTING FROM RECOVERY SERVICES, WITH HALF OF EACH NUMBER LIKELY TO ACCESS BOTH SERVICES. IN ADDITION TO VASTLY EXPANDING THE AVAILABILITY OF TREATMENT AN D RECOVERY SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH OUD, THE PROJECT INVOLVES INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO REACH THE MOST RURAL OF THE RURAL POPULATIONS, INCLUDING ENGAGING AND SUPPORTING INFORMAL COMMUNITY LEADERS TO REDUCE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH OUD, AND DISCREETLY BUT DIRECTLY CONNECTING RURAL FARMERS AND OTHERS TO OUD SERVICES.

PROMOTE THE STABILIZATION, REUNIFICATION, AND RECOVERY OF LATINX FAMILIES BY EMPOWERING THEM WITH THE TRAINING, SUPPORT, AND RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BREAK CYCLES OF ADDICTION AND ABUSE. DELIVERING LINGUISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY COMPETENT HEALTHCARE AND FLEXIBLE SERVICES IS CRITICAL FOR DIMINISHING THE IMPACTS OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, MENTAL ILLNESS, AND COVID-19 ON GREATER BOSTON'S LATINX COMMUNITIES AND IS ESPECIALLY CRITICAL FOR LATINX MOTHERS, AS THIS SUB-GROUP OFTEN FACES COMPLICATED PATHWAYS TO RECOVERY. WHEN THESE PATHS ARE TRAVERSED, HOWEVER, MOTHERS CAN BE EMPOWERED TO MITIGATE THE DOWNSTREAM CONSEQUENCES CYCLES OF ADDICTION AND TRAUMA HAVE ON THEMSELVES, THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR FAMILIES. LATINX PERSONS WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS IN GREATER BOSTON HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO CULTURALLY ATTUNED CARE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MORE LIKELY EFFECTIVE THAN STANDARD PROTOCOLS. DECADES OF RESEARCH INDICATE THAT MOMS'S STRATEGIES ARE AMONG THE MOST EFFICACIOUS AVAILABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN APPLIED TO LATINX POPULATIONS. IT IS, THEREFORE, REASONABLE TO PREDICT THAT THIS PROJECT WILL HELP MITIGATE DOWNSTREAM CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH RELAPSE FOR PARTICIPANTS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND SOCIETY MORE BROADLY. THESE COSTS INCLUDE AN INCREASED BURDEN ON THE HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE; A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD FOR CHILDREN OF ADDICTED PARENTS TO DEVELOP PHYSICAL, MENTAL, OR EMOTIONAL DISORDERS; AND HIGHER PUBLIC HEALTH AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXPENDITURES ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH MOTHERS EXPERIENCING CODS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THESE BENEFITS ARE ALL IN ADDITION TO THE INCREASED WELLNESS EXPERIENCED BY CLIENTS WHEN THEY END ADDICTIONS, AVOID RELAPSE, AND (RE)COMMIT TO HEALTHY LIFESTYLES.

CASA FILLS AN URGENT GAP IN LINGUISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY ACCESSIBLE SUD AND COD TREATMENT FOR LATINX PATIENTS. OUR PATIENTS EXPERIENCE HARDSHIP FROM LIFELONG TRAUMA, HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY, AND SYSTEMIC DISCRIMINATION. MANY ARE MEDICALLY FRAIL, FACING A GREATER RISK OF INFECTION FROM DISEASES LIKE COVID-19. MOST (80%) OF OUR PATIENTS ARE MONOLINGUAL SPANISH SPEAKERS OR INDIVIDUALS WITH LIMITED OR NO ENGLISH. NEARLY ALL (95%) ARE HOMELESS OR UNDER-HOUSED. MOST (71%) HAVE RECEIVED PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL/EMOTIONAL TREATMENT. OF THE 31% WHO RECEIVED PRIOR TREATMENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH, 98% MEET CRITERIA FOR SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS: PTSD (95%), DEPRESSION (55%), ANXIETY (61.4%), SUICIDAL IDEATION (15%), AND 3% HAVE MADE A SUICIDE ATTEMPT. ALL STRUGGLE WITH SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SUCH AS LINGUISTIC BARRIERS, POVERTY, INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THESE ONGOING BARRIERS, COMPOUNDED BY PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND SOCIAL ISOLATION DUE TO COVID-19, PLACE OUR PATIENTS AT AN EVEN GREATER RISK OF RELAPSE AND OVERDOSE.
