ADULT DRUG COURT SITE BASED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

The Treatment Court Institute, a division of the All Rise,  will continue for 12 months  the Adult Treatment Court Site-Based Technical Assistance.

All Rise is the world's leading training and technical assistance organization for justice system responses to substance use disorders. It represents over 35,000 multidisciplinary professionals and community leaders. Over the past 30 years, All Rise has overseen numerous federally funded TTA projects, including BJA’s Adult Drug Court TTA program and Veterans Treatment Court TTA program. These projects help jurisdictions plan and implement evidence-based programs to improve public safety and address the underlying substance use disorders that often lead to crime.

With the partnership and support of BJA, All Rise has provided training, technical assistance, and resources to over 500,000 professionals across the United States, its territories, and 22 foreign countries. This has been achieved through various adult learning theory-based methods, including online training available at the E-Learning Center on the website www.AllRise.org/e-learning-center/. Additionally, All Rise has produced over 75 professional publications, including monographs, journals, and issue-specific fact sheets, and its website (www.AllRise.org) has received over 800,000 visits. All services provided are tailored to the recipient's specific needs and evaluated for their impact and effectiveness. Over the past 30 years, TCI has effectively trained teams to implement adult treatment courts.

The project's overarching goal is to support adult treatment court grantees to ensure their programs operate consistently with the treatment court model and adhere to the All Rise Adult Treatment Court Best Practice Standards and the 10 Key Components of Drug Courts. Project partners will achieve this goal by implementing the following objectives: (1) Deliver TA to newly funded and existing grantees and the treatment court field at large; (2) Develop individualized TA work plans for each new grantee based on the goals outlined in its application; (3) Assign each grantee a TA coach to assess and identify its TA needs, including a summary of the assessment findings for the grantee and recommended next steps to improve program performance; (4) Convene grantee and practitioner learning communities; (5) Triage request from non-grantees; (6) Assist grantees in the collection of performance measures data submission to the Performance Measurement Tool (PMT) and JustGrants; (7) Offer the Equity and Inclusion Assessment Tool training to grantees and assist grantees with developing a TA plan to address equity, inclusion, and access. The training covers ways to increase referral, retention, and graduation rates for the underserved population; (8) Generate an annual report based on the results of the fidelity assessments; (9 Collaborate with BJA and TTA partners); and (10) Modify the fidelity assessment tool. All project activities will be tracked and reported to BJA as required.
