FTC Strategy Brief Series: Strong Families
Children and Family Futures, in partnership with Casey Family Programs, developed a series of three briefs on Family Treatment Courts (FTCs). These briefs provide information to child welfare and other key stakeholders about the FTC model and best practices evidence and strategies to improve outcomes for all families affected by a parent’s substance use disorder. The first brief provides an overview of the FTC model including necessary components, outcomes, and model types. Brief 2 examines practice-level strategies and evidence to ensure comprehensive service delivery and improved outcomes for child welfare affected by a parent’s substance use disorder. The third brief highlights FTCs as a catalyst for systems change by outlining strategies to integrate FTC best practices into larger systems of care.
Brief 1: What are Family Treatment Courts and how do they improve outcomes for families?
Brief 3: What can we learn from Family Treatment Courts to support systems change?
