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).
