THE COMMUNITY COALITION AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING (CCAHT) PROPOSES THE CURRENT PROJECT TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND HEALING OF MINORS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SEX OR LABOR TRAFFICKING BY INCREASING CAPACITY AND SPECIALIZATION OF WRAPAROUND SUPPORT SERVICES AVAILABLE TO YOUTH AND THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEM. SURVIVOR-CENTERED CARE MEANS WORKING WITH THE SURVIVOR AS WELL AS THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CRUCIAL WHEN WORKING WITH MINOR VICTIMS. THE CCAHT WORKS ON BEHALF OF MINOR VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING BY COLLABORATING WITHIN THE SYSTEMS IN WHICH THEY ARE INHERENTLY PART OFFAMILIES, FOSTER HOMES, CHILD WELFARE, KINSHIP PLACEMENT, EDUCATION, JUVENILE JUSTICE, ETC. CCAHT SUPPORT STAFF AMPLIFY YOUTH VOICE AND ENSURE TRAUMA-INFORMED, DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT CARE WHEN NAVIGATING WITHIN EACH OF THESE SYSTEMS. THE DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS OF YOUTH AND ADOLESCENCE PRODUCE VULNERABILITIES EASILY TARGETED BY TRAFFICKERS, SUCH AS IMPULSIVITY AND THE BIOLOGICAL COMPULSION TO CULTIVATE A SENSE OF BELONGING OUTSIDE OF THE FAMILY OF ORIGIN. CONSEQUENTLY, THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF TRAFFICKING WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT PRODUCE FRAGILITIES THAT, IF NOT SUFFICIENTLY TENDED TO, WILL HAVE PROFOUND IMPACT ON LIFELONG WELL-BEING. THE CCAHT RECOGNIZES THAT IN ORDER TO DISRUPT THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE AND VICTIMIZATION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOUTH WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAFFICKING HAVE UNINHIBITED ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE THROUGH COMPETENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE PROVIDERS. THE CURRENT PROJECT WILL ENABLE THIS BY INCREASING CCAHT CAPACITY TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND OF NEW REFERRALS AND EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF SERVICES AVAILABLE TO YOUTH TO SUPPORT THEIR SUCCESSFUL NAVIGATION THROUGH THE SYSTEMS THEY ARE A PART OF. THE CCAHT WILL BOLSTER YOUTH RESILIENCY BY FOSTERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW SOCIAL CONNECTIONS AND EXPERIENCES, AND BY EQUIPPING CARE GIVER CAPACITY TO RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF TRAFFICKED YOUTH. IN SO DOING, YOUTH WILL LEARN THE COPING SKILLS TO MANAGE THE EFFECTS OF THEIR TRAUMA IN A SAFE AND RESPONSIVE ENVIRONMENT, EXPERIENCE GREATER SUCCESS IN PERMANENCY PLACEMENTS, AND ENHANCE POSITIVE OUTCOMES THROUGHOUT THE LIFESPAN. AS PART OF THE TENNESSEE COUNTER-TRAFFICKING ALLIANCE, THE CCAHT IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO ENHANCE ANTI-TRAFFICKING EFFORTS BY LEVERAGING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, MAXIMIZING THE IMPACT AND REACH OF THIS PROJECT.

HIALEAH VIBE CHECK PROJECT - IF 95.3 % OF FLORIDA YOUTH THINK USE OF ILLICIT DRUGS IS WRONG, THEN WHY ARE THE 30- DAY PAST USERATES FOR METHAMPHETAMINES 12 TIMES HIGHER IN HIALEAH THAN IN M-DC?ADOLESCENCE REPRESENTS BOTH A CRITICAL AT-RISK PERIOD FOR SUBSTANCE USE INITIATION AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO INTERVENE AND PREVENT BEHAVIORS FROM DEVELOPING INTO MORE ACUTE HEALTH PROBLEMS. NOT ALL KIDS WHO EXPERIMENT WITH DRUGS WILL DEVELOP A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER; HOWEVER, ALL PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE STILL DEVELOPING ADOLESCENT BRAIN, AND HAVE ALSO BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER RISK BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS SUICIDAL IDEATION, YOUTH VIOLENCE, AND RISKY SEXUAL BEHAVIORS. HIALEAH YOUTH CURRENTLY EXHIBIT ELEVATED 30- DAY PAST USE RATES FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND METHAMPHETAMINES IN COMPARISON TO BOTH NATIONAL AND STATE PEERS; PAST -YEAR USE RATES FOR PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS WITHIN MIAMI- DADE ALSO EXCEED NATIONAL NUMBERS. THESE ELEVATED USE RATES, AS WELL AS THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUTH INITIATION OF THESE SUBSTANCES UNDERLINE THE NEED FOR ENHANCED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE MISUSE AS A WHOLE.HIALEAH VIBE CHECK IS A MULTI-MODAL INITIATIVE, GROUNDED IN MEANINGFUL YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AND DATA-DRIVEN PROGRESS, TO IMPACT YOUTH DRUG USE IN HIALEAH. UTILIZING A DIVERSE COMBINATION OF COMMUNITY LEVEL STRATEGIES, HIALEAH VIBE CHECK WILL DIRECTLY TARGET EXISTING CHALLENGES WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE, WHILE EXPANDING THE EVIDENCE BASE ON OPIATES AND METHAMPHETAMINES FOR FUTURE INTERVENTION. THE PROJECT IS COMPRISED OF THE FOLLOWING SIX STRATEGIES, THE CORRESPONDING STRATEGY FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE FROM SAMHSA IS ALSO NOTED:? IN-SERVICE FOR LOCAL MEDICAL STAFF (ENHANCE SKILLS)? BUILD CAPACITY IN YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (ENHANCE SKILLS)? DRUG TAKE BACK INITIATIVE (ENHANCE ACCESS/REDUCE BARRIERS)? CONVENE TWO YOUTH DIALOG DAYS (ENHANCE SKILLS)? DEVELOP AND ADMINISTER COMMUNITY ONLINE SURVEY (PROVIDE SUPPORT)? PRODUCE THREE EPISODES OF A YOUTH-LED INT ERNET SHOW ON INSTAGRAM LIVE (PROVIDE INFORMATION)PREVENTION OF USE IN YOUTH AGED 12-18 WILL DECREASE BOTH ITS WIDESPREAD SOCIAL ACCESS AND AVAILABILITY. DECREASING NORMS AND ACCEPTANCE OF USE IN ADULTS AND YOUTH WILL ADDRESS THE PERCEPTIONS OF BOTH ACUTE AND CHRONIC CONSEQUENCES CAUSED BY UNDERAGE SUBSTANCE USE, AS WELL AS THE SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE, AND PERCEIVED WRONGFULNESS BY PARENTS AND PEERS. TRAINING WILL INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTRICACIES OF YOUTH DRUG USE FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS WHILE BUILDING THE SKILLS TO ENHANCE THEIR PRACTICE. SYNTHESIZING AND DISSEMINATING EVIDENCE-BASED INFORMATION PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE AND CHANGE SOCIAL NORMS AMONG ADULTS AND YOUTH ABOUT THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH RISKS OF THESE ADDICTIVE DRUGS. A COMMUNITY SURVEY OF LOCAL SECTORS AND STAKEHOLDERS WILL BOLSTER AN EMERGING EVIDENCE BASE THAT CAN BE UTILIZED TO INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS AND STRATEGIES. VIBE CHECK, IS THE NEXT ITERATION FOR HCC, AND THE COALITION?S ROLE IS FRAMED BY ITS MISSION STATEMENT: ?TO SERVE AS A COMMUNITY COALITION DEDICATED TO THE COMPREHENSIVE AND LONG-TERM REDUCTION/PREVENTION OF UNDERAGE DRINKING AND SUBSTANCE USE AND ABUSE OF DRUGS WHILE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP TO CREATE A SAFE, HEALTHY ANDDRUG-FREE COMMUNITY FOR THE YOUTH OF HIALEAH, FL.?.

LAKES AREA COMMUNITY COALITION WILL REDUCE YOUTH PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE IN OUR COMMUNITY BY IMPLEMENTING COMMUNITY-LEVEL CHANGE STRATEGIES. - THE MISSION OF THE LAKES AREA COMMUNITY COALITION IS TO BUILD A HEALTHY, VIBRANT, DRUG-FREE COMMUNITY BY REDUCING YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE. AS A DFC-FUNDED COALITION, WE DO THIS BY USING THE STRATEGIC PREVENTION FRAMEWORK AND WORKING WITH OUR SECTOR PARTNERS TO BUILD UP PROTECTIVE FACTORS AND REDUCE RISK FACTORS AROUND OUR YOUTH. WHILE WE ARE CURRENTLY OBSERVING DATA THAT INDICATES THAT OUR YOUTH ARE MISUSING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AND/OR OPIOIDS AT RATES THAT CONSISTENTLY EXCEED NATIONAL AVERAGES, WE PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THE RISK FACTORS POSED BY OUR UNIQUE LOCAL CONDITIONS. PLANS TO ADDRESS THESE FACTORS INCLUDE UTILIZING THE SEVEN STRATEGIES FOR COMMUNITY-LEVEL CHANGE TO LIMIT YOUTH ACCESS TO OPIOIDS, INCREASE PERCEPTION OF THE RISKS OF MISUSING PRESCRIPTION STIMULANTS AND BENZODIAZEPINES IN PARTICULAR, AND PROMOTE THE POSITIVE COMMUNITY NORMS AROUND SAFE PRESCRIPTION USE. WE INTEND TO TARGET YOUTH, PARENTS, AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WITH ACTIVITIES IN ALL STRATEGY AREAS. OVER THE DURATION OF THIS PROJECT, WE PLAN TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS REPORTING 30 DAY USE OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AND TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS PERCEIVING PRESCRIPTION MISUSE AS A HIGH-RISK BEHAVIOR.
