GRANT AWARD
ITEM #6
APPROVED
Transmitting a Communication, dated February 27, 2002 from
TIMOTHY C. EVANS, Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County
requesting authorization to accept a grant in the amount of
$300,000.00 from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority
(ICJIA). This grant will fund services
to delinquent minors identified by the court to be in need of clinical
intervention. Multi-Systemic Therapy
(MST) clinicians will provide intensive therapeutic services for minors between
the ages 12 and 17 who have been diagnosed with mental health disorders. The services provided by this program will
help to reduce the number of minors placed in expensive residential treatment
facilities by allowing minors to remain in the community without compromising
public safety.
The MST model was developed approximately fifteen years ago
by at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Through the combined use of well-known therapeutic techniques such as
cognitive behavior therapy, MST addresses complex issues faced by multi-need
families. Also, MST clinical
interventions target the family as the client rather than the individual
minor. Strong evaluation, quality
assurance measures through strict adherence to well-defined protocols, and
follow-up are essential components of MST.
Grant funds will be used to pay for therapeutic services, as well as
travel by staff, computers and telecommunications equipment and office
supplies.
The grant requires cash matching funds from Cook County of
$100,000.00.
Estimated Fiscal Impact:
$100,000.00. Grant Award: $300,000.00.
Funding period: March 1, 2002
through September 30, 2002. (326-237
Account).

safety program. The additional funding
will supplement the court’s current grant of $385,160.00, which expires
