US Department of Health and Human Services Launches National Center on
Substance Abuse and Child Welfare
September 17, 2002
Irvine, California
Increased national attention to substance use disorders among families
who have abused or neglected their children has led to the creation of a
National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare. This problem
affects millions of America's children every year. The program is an
initiative of the Department of Health and Human Services and jointly
funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the Administration for
Children, Youth and Families, Children Bureau's, Office on Child Abuse
and Neglect (OCAN). Ms. Sharon Amatetti, Public Health Analyst at CSAT
will serve as the federal project officer. The contract award was made
to the Center for Children and Family Futures, Inc. an Irvine,
California-based policy institute, in September 2002, and is envisioned
as a 5-year project through September 2007.
Several national reports over the past five years have documented the
extent to which families entering the child welfare system and the
family courts are affected by substance abuse. Substance abuse affects
both parenting and the development of children; an estimated 11% of all
children live in families where one or more parents abuse alcohol or
other drugs; an estimated 40-60% of children in the child welfare system
are impacted by substance abuse.
Dr. Nancy Young, a well-known national expert on the public policy
issues
affecting children of substance abusers, will serve as the Project
Director of the National center. Dr. Young is the Executive Director of
the Center for Children and Family Futures (CCFF). CCFF has assembled
an impressive consortium of national organizations and leaders to
facilitate communication among the various service systems affected by
substance abuse and child welfare. The consortium members represent the
various constituents and stakeholders in the work of the National
Center, including families, professionals and national leaders on
practice and policy issues in substance abuse, child welfare, family
courts, the Tribes, and policymakers. The consortium members include:
The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), the National Association of
State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD), the American Public
Human Services Association (APHSA), the National Council of Juvenile and
Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) and the National Indian Child Welfare
Association (NICWA). Danya International will implement the technology
aspects of the project including web-based tutorials.
The National Center will develop and implement a comprehensive program
of
information gathering and dissemination, knowledge development and
application and provide technical assistance to promote practice,
organizational, and systems change at the local, state, and national
levels. The focus of the National Center's work includes six overall
goals:
* To effectively communicate among all stakeholders of the
National
Center
* To gather specialized knowledge and improve collaboration among
the substance abuse and child welfare fields and family judicial systems
* To use the full range of resources of the National Center to
create a widely recognized body of expertise and materials on substance
abuse, child welfare, and related Tribal and family judicial systems
* To develop web-based and other technological means of collecting
and disseminating specialized knowledge on substance abuse, child
welfare, and family court systems
* To use the expertise of the National Center to assist consumers,
families, communities, Tribal leaders, other professionals, and
policymakers to improve practice, procedures and policies on substance
abuse, child welfare and family court systems
* To improve the effectiveness of the National Center by measuring
its outcomes and gathering feedback from all stakeholders
There are several tasks envisioned for the National Center to achieve
these goals. The work will include: providing technical assistance to
States and communities; collecting, developing, and disseminating
information; conducting regional meetings on special topics; convening a
national conference in the second and fourth contract years; developing
web-based access to information and tutorials; and establishing a
national expert group to develop guidelines and standards on these
issues.

Family Futures, Inc., 4940 Irvine Boulevard, Suite 202, Irvine, CA
