As a component of the NCSACW, CFF provides a Consultant Liaison to facilitate the development of a strategic plan to improve outcomes for families affected by substance abuse who are involved in the child welfare and/or family courts systems. This plan is tailored to the needs of each State or Tribe and IDTA is provided to assist the site in the implementation of the plan. NCSACW studies the progress and barriers learned in each site with the aim of broadly disseminating the lessons learned so as to further the collaborative efforts and linkages among alcohol and other drug services, child welfare, family courts and tribes.
