Family Drug Court Planning Initiative
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
The National Drug Court Institute (NDCI) will provide training and implementation assistance events to assist jurisdictions around the country in the design and implementation of a family dependency treatment court (FDTC). Through practitioner-focused training programs, the NDCI will provide 20 jurisdictions from across the country with the core knowledge, skills, and operational focus necessary to properly plan and implement a family dependency treatment court within the parameters of established best practices in the implementation of the drug court model and child abuse and neglect case processing. Although participating planning sites may not have fully operational family dependency treatment courts at the conclusion of the project period, it is expected that these sites will become operational in the first quarter of the following calendar year. At the conclusion of the training series the teams will be able to implement and apply new knowledge and skills to their planning process.
