The Prevention and Family Recovery Initiative

Funded By:  The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Duke Endowment

Prevention and Family Recovery (PFR), funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Duke Endowment, strived to advance the capacity of family treatment courts (FTCs) and their partner agencies to provide and sustain a comprehensive family-centered approach for children, parents and families affected by parental substance use disorders and child abuse and neglect.  PFR helped eight established FTCs integrate and institutionalize evidence-based parenting services and developmental and therapeutic services for children into their larger systems of care.

Children and Family Futures (CFF) awarded a first round of four PFR grants in April 2014 and expanded to four additional sites in January 2017 (see below). The FTC teams received a 3-year grant and intensive technical assistance, training and coaching to help them achieve their goals. Grantees also had access to a National Advisory Council (NAC) comprised of a prestigious group of national experts, practitioners and community leaders. PFR drew on the NAC’s collective and individual expertise and knowledge to ensure the initiative’s and the grantees’ success.
