Liz shared a wonderful successful case of a very high-risk youth and the family her team served who had experienced a recent traumatic loss.

The Role of Care Management Entities in OhioRISE | By Patrick Kanary
Ohio has long worked to meet the serious and complex behavioral health needs of children, youth, and their families. Previous (and ongoing) efforts to move this work forward have included state and local system of care grants, Family and Children First initiatives[3], local intersystem collaborations, advocacy to fund multisystem youth[4], the state’s current multi-system youth 
custody relinquishment prevention program, and many other efforts. However, despite these achievements, there remain gaps to fill, access to achieve, and services to provide. OhioRISE enters this landscape with the tools and resources to move the system to the next level, including a new waiver to prevent custody relinquishment in order to access services.

Resource from the Ohio Governor’s Children’s Initiative | Healthy Families Handbook:Resources for Building a Collaborative Family Support Plan
In 2020, a total of 1,652 suspected cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) were reported to the Ohio Department of Health. That’s 1,652 babies who were born with drugs — most often opioids — in their system causing them to go through withdrawal in their first days of life. An unborn baby’s exposure to drugs may lead to long-term health and development problems, including hearing and vision problems, as well as
difficulties with learning and behavior.Download 27-Page PDF of Handbook The purpose of this handbook is to assist all community partners with understanding implementation of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) specifically plans of safe care (POSC). It was created to assist those professionals responsible for developing plans of safe care, Public Children Services Agencies (PCSA) and community partners.This handbook is the result of the hard work and dedication of the Practice and Policy Academy team, which came together because of a technical assistance grant from the Center for Children and Family Futures.Our partners include members from five state departments, the Supreme Court of Ohio, medical hospitals, the Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative, the Ohio Hospital Association, and many other organizations.

CIP Training Brief | Introduction to Integrated Co-Occurring Treatment (ICT)
The Center for Innovative Practice’s Mike Fox, MA, PCC-S, LCDC-III, launches a new series of Training Briefs on Integrated Co-Occurring Treatments and Youth with Multiply-Occurring Needs. The Integrated Co-Occurring Treatment (ICT) model, an evidence informed practice, uses an intentionally-integrated and domain-guided treatment approach, which aligns with the Intensive Home Based Treatment (IHBT) design. The reciprocal interactions of co-occurring substance use and serious emo
tional disabilities are addressed directly, with each considered ‘primary’. Guiding principles include: System of Care (SOC) core values, a developmentally mindful and resiliency-oriented approach, strong family partnering, intentionally integrated screening and assessment, integrated and stage-matched treatment design, and ongoing safety and risk assessment. Youth, family and community engagement is emphasized and evaluated at all phases. ICT therapists receive weekly coaching and consultation in order to stay on top of the multi-faceted challenges and evolving areas of focus. Learn More
