Description

The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe Judicial Branch Family Treatment Court will enhance service delivery to families that have had or are at risk of removal of their children due to a substance use disorder. The expected outcomes of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe Judicial Branch Family Treatment Court are increased participation and graduation rates. This will be accomplished by hiring a peer group facilitator, screening all Tribal members in Franklin County Family Court, using an evidence-based monthly recovery capital survey, and continuing its Traditional Teachings workshops. The Family Treatment Court Case Manager and Peer Group Facilitator will provide earlier, person-centered interventions that increase participant engagement and graduation rates.
