When adding intellectual disabilities as a co-occurring disorder with mental illness, the qualified workforce inadequacies become even more severe. To complicate matters, the lack of validated or accommodated EBTs. for this population of mentally ill and intellectually challenged persons is virtually non-existent. Consistent with the conceptual strategy of task shifting and training within the context of usual care, this project provided specialized training to a wide variety of both professional and paraprofessional persons within the behavioral health, child welfare, and correctional industries. Results indicated that all participants improved their basic knowledge of this comorbid population, demonstrated a better understanding of EBTs, and exhibited a willingness to employ EBT approaches in their management and treatment strategies.<br> | ||||

This needs assessment is to inform the Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention Program in their work to strengthen incident management for crisis response, and ultimately to reduce opioid-involved fatal and non-fatal overdoses in Nebraska. ABSTRACT: The goal of this needs assessment is to better understand individuals’ drug-use behaviors in Nebraska through the lens of treatment providers. The results of this study will aid the Drug Overdose Prevention (DOP) program in providing training and other resources to treatment centers, focusing prevention efforts, and informing the statewide crisis response plan and future studies. Ultimately, this study will support DOP’s efforts to reduce opioid-involved fatal and non-fatal overdoses in Nebraska. | |||

The overarching theme of these workshops centers on changes that generate system improvements. Each workshop has been specifically designed with emphasis on the importance of a healthy agency and organizational culture driven by excellence in policy development, carefully crafted training, and inspired leadership. Each workshop explores how agencies can perform successfully by both engaging advancements within the field and also by embracing certain external pressures for process changes. Panelists will engage the audience in discussions surrounding leadership and how core criminal justice practices can generate significant improvements in agency performance. Transformational leaders make little distinction between externally driven change and reforms that arise from within their agency; leaders lead by embracing the change and focusing on outcomes." | |||

Family finding is the process of engagement, searching, preparation, planning, decision-making, lifetime network creation, healing, and permanency (Sections 1-3). a. Search for and identify family members and engage them in planning and decision-making. b. Gain commitments from family members to support a child through nurturing relationships c. Achieve a safe, permanent legal home or lifelong connection for the child, either through reunification or through permanent placement through legal guardianship or adoption. 2. Prevent recurrence of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or other maltreatment of children. 3. Reduce the length of time children spend in foster care. 4. Reduce multiple placements of children in foster care. | ||

Also at the state level, STEPs will assist NE DHHS and the Coalition in drafting and finalizing a strategic and realistic evaluation work plan. In this 2019 work plan, STEPs will assist NE DHHS and the Coalition in identifying and tracking sexual violence indicators in Nebraska. STEPs will access this information with the assistance of the Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Nebraska at Omaha as well as other data sources. Considering the opportunities and barriers for accessing data, STEPs will prepare a sustainability plan for NE DHHS and the Coalition to continue tracking sexual violence indicators at the state level. STEPs will continue their participation in the SVPAC, including an evaluation of its coordination of partners. STEPs will also participate in reviewing and summarizing sexual violence data and indicators to aid in the selection of focus populations and prevention approaches. Building on the successes of the previous year, STEPs will prepare and conduct regional trainings and provide individual technical assistance to help subrecipients prepare evaluation plans, select and administer valid and reliable measurement tools, and analyze resultant data. | ||
