The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DoDD) are planning the 2018 System of Care (SOC) Summit to support ongoing

providers and administrators of children, youth, and young adult behavioral health (mental health and substance use), child welfare, physical health, juvenile justice, and education systems. Youth and families are at the heart of

Ohio’s Behavioral Health Juvenile Justice Initiative: Effectively diverting juvenile justice-involved youth with behavioral health issues into community-based treatment.

Jeff Kretschmar, Amita Pujara Ohio’s Behavioral Health Juvenile Justice (BHJJ) Initiative: Effectively diverting juvenile justice-involved youth with behavioral health issues into community-based treatment.

The majority of juvenile justice-involved youth report experiencing at least some degree of behavioral health impairment. Given the overwhelming numbers of juvenile justice-involved youth with behavioral health issues, communities have started rethinking their approach to juvenile justice, and in particular, their use of detention and incarceration.

After thirteen years of Implementation, the L.I.F.E. Program has flourished and expanded in ways not thought possible. The program utilizes Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and FFT-Contingency Management treatment models, and involves significant collaboration among the treatment provider (South Community), the Montgomery County

Juvenile Court (MCJC), and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). In 2017, the program served 300 families.

Stakeholders from the treatment provider, South Community, and CWRU will discuss: the development and implementation of the model, ways to develop and maintain effective partnerships between courts and treatment providers; how to use data and outcomes to sustain and grow a program; and program highlights and lessons learned. In addition 13 years of treatment and justice-related outcomes data, including how the model impacted recidivism into adulthood, will be shared.

And so in one of the largest cities in America, visionary counselors, law school dropouts, aspiring rock musicians, retired football players, oil industry executives,

and church leaders came together to build the world’s largest peer-driven youth and family recovery community.

Independently filmed over the course of two years, GENERATION FOUND takes an unprecedented and intimate look at how a system of treatment centers, sober high schools, alternative peer groups, and collegiate recovery programs can exist in concert to intervene early and provide a real and tested long-term alternative to the “War on Drugs.” It is not only a deeply personal story, but one with real-world utility for communities struggling with addiction worldwide.
