Between 60 80% of substantiated child abuse and neglect cases involve substance use by a custodial parent or guardian (Young, et al, 2007) 61% of infants, 41% of older children who are in out-of-home care (Wulczyn, Ernst and Fisher, 2011) 87% of families in foster care with one parent in need; 67% with two (Smith, Johnson, Pears, Fisher, DeGarmo, 2007)

23 Focus on parent recovery, engagement and completion of treatment Regional Partnership Grant Programs Grantees stressed the importance of key supportive services to help parents achieve sustained recovery and to reunify with their children. RPG adults accessed treatment quickly: Within 13 days of entering the RPG program, on average 36.4% entered treatment within 3 days Remained in treatment a median of 4.8 months 65.2% stayed in treatment more than 90 days 45.0% completed treatment
24 Children kept safe Regional Partnership Grants 92.0% of children who were in the custody of their parent or caregiver at the time of RPG program enrollment remained at home through RPG program case closure. The percentage of children who remained at home significantly increased through program implementation from 85.1% in Year 1 to 96.4% in Year 5. Within the first six months following RPG Program enrollment, 95.8% of children experienced no maltreatment.
25 Children return home and remain at home Safety and Permanency Outcomes (Median Performance) Percentage of Children who had Substantiated Maltreatment within Six Months after RPG Program Enrollment (N=22,558) Discharge to Reunification Median Length of Stay in Foster Care (N=3,340) Percentage of Children Reunified in Less than 12 Months (N=3,627) Percentage of Children Reunified who Re-entered Foster Care in Less than 12 Months (N=3,575) Discharge to Finalized Adoption Median Length of Stay in Foster Care (N=418) Children in RPG Program State Contextual Data 4.2% 5.8% 9.5 months 7.5 months 63.6% 69.4% 5.1% 13.1% 24.2 months 29.3 months

30 Is there anything else you would like to share about your region s training needs? (Optional) Training being more of a priority We have experienced a large increase in child fatalities and near fatalities associated with opioid use. We feel that we need to review and refine our protocols for safety and risk assessment. Adolescent marijuana and other drug use in RI is extremely high given our small population. There are very few Chemical Dependency Professionals and fewer professionals trained in co-occurring disorders. Agencies have very few staff development dollars available to support training. Everything listed is extremely important. This area is vastly underserved in Rhode Island. The effects that final parity rule/law will have on treatment options
