Family Drug Courts

Project Overview

The Center for Children and Family Futures, Inc. provides Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) for the Family Drug Courts (FDC) nationally, through the Bureau of Justice Assistance under a two year Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Cooperative Agreement. The program’s mission is to improve outcomes for children and families by providing TTA that develops, maintains, and enhances FDCs. CFF will accomplish this by implementing a thorough needs assessment, providing recommendations for a TTA strategy, and the creation of three virtual learning communities for start-up, implementation, and expansion of FDCs responding to their varying capacities and stages. The TTA program will be integrated and leveraged with the on-going TTA infrastructure of CFF.

Since 2001, CCFF has operated the National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare under joint funding by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Children’s Bureau’s Office on Child Abuse and Neglect (OCAN).
