Georgia Alliance of Drug Endangered Children

STRATEGIC PLAN 2006

Mission

The Georgia Alliance for Drug Endangered Children (GADEC) works collaboratively to:

• Prevent abuse to children caused by the manufacture, distribution, sale and use of drugs, and;
• Rescue, defend, shelter, and support children who suffer physical and psychological harm caused by methamphetamine, alcohol and other
drugs.

Vision

Through the protection, advocacy and support provided by caring professionals and communities, drug endangered children will be
empowered to live lives free of drug or alcohol abuse and filled with happiness and hope.

Definition of Drug Endangered Children

The Georgia Alliance for Drug Endangered Children considers both children who are exposed to potential harm and children who suffer actual
harm from the manufacture, distribution, sale and use of alcohol and drugs to be drug endangered children. This includes both children who
are endangered by the actions of others and children who are endangered through their own actions.

Outcomes

The Georgia Alliance for Drug Endangered Children is working to accomplish these outcomes:

• Drug endangered children live in safe environments

• Drug endangered children and their families are able to access and use resources and services in their local communities
• Drug endangered children live in communities committed to providing a protective environment for them
 Goals and Objectives

OUTCOME ONE
Drug endangered children will live in safe environments

GOAL ONE
Increase the knowledge of professional stakeholders concerning how to identify drug endangered children, their related needs, and how to refer
them to the Department of Family and Children Services or other community resources that assure their safety.
Strategy: Provide an ongoing system of training related to identifying drug endangered children and their needs including regional trainings,
specialized professional training and a yearly state conference.

Objective 1
Develop and deliver a series of regional trainings to be given each year where participants will be able to gain knowledge about how to
identify drug endangered children and their families and learn their related needs and how to refer them to appropriate safety resources.
Strategy: Organize and deliver2 trainings in each of the 12 DFACS regions every year
Action Step 1
Develop and/or support a curriculum library for trainings and education
Strategy: GADEC members who have trained others contribute to the curriculum. The curriculum can be developed in such a
way that there are sections that related to all drugs and alcohol and sections that are specific to certain drugs such as
methamphetamine. A regional training could deliver several curriculum modules (smaller curriculum modules adapt themselves
to a variety of delivery settings such as small workshops and lunch and learn sessions)
Action Step 2
Organize a Speakers Bureau to support the regional trainings and other educational activities
Strategy: Approach members of GADEC who have educated others about drug endangered children and other GADEC members
to join the Speakers Bureau. Share the curriculum modules with the members of the Speakers Bureau in a Train the Trainers
event.
Action Step 3
Work with local partners at each of the regional training sites to organize and deliver the trainings in ways that are respectful of
the local context of service delivery and culturally competent
Strategy: Choose partners from organizations that have the potential to become a partner organization to assure sustainability
Action Step 5
Evaluate the process and outcomes of the regional trainings
 Strategy: Make evaluations consistent with existing evaluation formats being used for training providers in MHDDAD. This
format looks at participant satisfaction, goal attainment and comments that participants think would improve the training
experience in the future.
Objective 2
Provide specialized information and training pertaining to identifying drug endangered children, their needs and referring them to safety
--- to professional partners at conferences and workshops sponsored by these partner organizations

Strategy: Disseminate information at conferences and training events related to the mission and work of GADEC, apply to host
information booths and propose relevant workshops at these events to disseminate.
Action Step 1
Develop a yearly master calendar of conferences and training events where GADEC will provide information and education.
Strategy: GADEC staff will develop the master calendar of targeted conferences and training events with deadlines for
applications and proposal submissions to be adopted by the Training Committee.
Action Step 2
Develop and deliver a package of display items, booth handouts and workshop presentations targeted to the needs of the
conference participants
Strategy: Staff will work with the Training Committee and the Speakers Bureau to assure a presence at targeted conferences.
Action Step 3
Evaluate the effectiveness of the information and training and solicit ideas for future trainings.
Strategy: Provide evaluations similar to those at the regional trainings.
Strategy: Provide information and knowledgeable speakers for the internal training events of partner and other organizations related to
the work of GADEC.
Action Step 1
Develop a list of partner and other organizations that are related to the work of GADEC with contact information and let them
know of the resource center and speakers bureau
Action Step 2
Provide information and speaker referrals on a request for service basis
Objective 3
Deliver a yearly statewide GADEC Conference that provides information and training on identifying and serving drug endangered
children.
 Strategy: Continue the planning and delivery of this conference under the auspices of the Training Committee with joint sponsorship from
DFACS, DEA and other partners.

GOAL TWO
Increase the ability of GADEC professional partners to work in teams and alliances across organizations to identify drug endangered children,
assess their immediate needs, and refer them to safety
Objective 1
Increase the use of existing protocols, such as the GADEC Medical Protocol, to identify drug endangered children, assess their immediate
needs, and refer them to safety
Strategy: Use the existing GADEC Protocol Committee to organize and guide this work
Action Step One
Focus on dissemination, education, and implementation of the GADEC Medical Protocol
• Identify where the protocol needs to be disseminated and how it can be most effectively disseminated (focus on the
medical and hospital community)
• Develop a training module on the GADEC Medical Protocol that can be used in regional and professional trainings
• Develop a short “how to implement the protocol” for inclusion in the GADEC tool kit for communities
• Develop a targeted training strategy
• Study how the GADEC Medical Protocol might be expanded to act as a generic protocol to serve children identified in
situations other than clandestine meth labs
Action Step Two
Support the development of a protocol for the identification, needs assessment and referral to safety of drug endangered children
moving from custody in the juvenile justice system back into the local community
• Finish the development of the protocol receive the support of the agencies developing it to release the protocol
• Publish and disseminate the protocol
• Develop a training module related to the protocol
• Target audiences for training on the protocol
• Develop a short “how to implement the protocol” for inclusion in the GADEC tool kit for communities
• Study how this protocol might be expanded to act as a generic protocol to serve drug endangered children moving out of
state custody and back into the community
Action Step Three
Study existing mandated protocols that relate to drug endangered children and report on their implications for identifying drug
endangered children and their needs and referring them to safety.
• Begin with the Child Abuse Protocol and the Truancy Protocol
 • Note how these protocols address professional teaming and cross agency work
Objective 2
Develop administrative tools that will support the use of teaming, collaboration and service integration in the identification, needs
assessment and safety referral process for drug endangered children
Strategy: In collaboration with the Protocols Committee, use the Data Collection and Evaluation Committee to develop, solicit approval
from agencies and disseminate these tools
Action Step One
Form an ongoing Social Indicators and Research sub-committee to review, create and disseminate data for state and local use
• Review existing indicators and recommend dissemination strategies
• Review Needs Assessment data and disseminate to state and local partners for use in planning and implementation of
targeted and universal programs
• Study and recommend teaming and collaboration reporting mechanisms
• Study existing reporting mechanisms within agencies and how this data can best be shared
• Create indicators for a community report card for local agencies on the identification, needs, and referral of children to
safety resources
Action Step Two
Develop a Release of Information form that can be used to share “need to know” information in the best interest of the child
between collaborating agencies
• Review legal constraints and opportunities
• Collect information on models of such a release of information (one county in Georgia is already doing this)
• Develop a pilot form
• Pilot and revise the form
Action Step Three
Develop a prototype of a common record that can follow drug endangered children as they are served by multiple agencies and
that contains information pertinent to their well-being
• Develop critical content that should be in the record
• Develop guidelines for the use of the record
• Explore how the record could interface with individual agency data bases of information (ie SACWIS and medical
records)
Action Step Four
Develop a support system of resources and training on collaboration, teaming, and service integration for state and local alliance partners
as they identify, assess needs and refer drug endangered children to safety
 • Develop a curriculum module on collaboration and teaming including the national DEC model of teaming around children
endangered by methamphetamine
• Include information on collaboration, alliance formation and service integration in regional trainings and conferences
• Develop information on collaboration, teaming and service integration in the toolkit
• Make the GADEC staff and speakers bureau available for support and technical assistance in these areas
