It involves completing a set number of hours (e.g., at food banks, parks, shelters, senior centers) and requires diligent record-keeping and court approval for the work done. Crisis response is a comprehensive, multi-component approach to behavioral health emergencies that provides alternatives to law enforcement response and jail. It involves the seamless integration of various services to ensure individuals receive appropriate, timely care, rather than being caught in the criminal justice system. Cross-system coordination is a collaborative approach that brings together different agencies—such as law enforcement, behavioral health, housing, education, and social services—to address the root causes of criminal behavior rather than relying solely on detention. It aims to reduce the use of jails and improve outcomes for individuals, particularly those with mental health needs, by providing a "no-wrong-door" approach to services. Drug abuse counseling is a behavioral treatment approach that aims to assist individuals with substance use disorders by providing support and strategies to manage their addiction, often in conjunction with other therapeutic methods. Education services provide academic and vocational training to prepare individuals for a successful return to the community, aiming to reduce recidivism by fostering practical skills and facilitating access to post-program opportunities. Electronic monitoring is a technology-based incarceration alternative that uses devices like GPS ankle bracelets or smartphone apps to track and constrain individuals in the community, enforcing curfews, restricted zones, or sobriety, instead of traditional jail or prison time. Employment services provide essential job-related support to individuals to help them find stable employment. Services might include skills training in areas like career readiness, specific trades, job search assistance such as resume building, interview coaching, and job placement services to connect youth with employers. Programs also might offer vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and career planning. Family counseling as an incarceration alternative uses therapy to address underlying family issues, improving communication and behaviors to reduce recidivism by treating the family unit, not just the individual offender. Counseling often focuses on dysfunctional patterns, mental health, or substance abuse to build healthier dynamics and prevent future crimes. Financial aid refers to funding designed to help individuals who have come in contact with the justice system to pay for higher education or vocational training. House arrest is a court-ordered form of detention that allows a parent to serve their time at an approved residence with their children, rather than in prison. It functions as an intermediate sanction designed to keep families together while maintaining supervision of the offender and safety in the community. House arrest is usually reserved for low-risk, nonviolent, or first-time offenders. Legal advocacy refers to the specialized support, representation, and guidance provided to individuals to help them navigate non-adversarial processes, uphold their rights, and achieve outcomes focused on rehabilitation and reparation rather than solely punishment. Mental health treatment refers to a range of therapeutic strategies used to address mental illnesses, mental health conditions, and behavioral health issues, including psychotherapy, medication, support groups, and lifestyle changes, often in conjunction for a more effective recovery plan. Parenting education offers structured programs for parents, teaching crucial skills like communication, child development, and non-violent discipline, while also addressing trauma, substance abuse, and other challenges, aiming to strengthen family bonds, improve child outcomes, and break cycles of negative behavior by preparing parents for positive family change and community engagement. Probation is a court-ordered alternative to jail or prison, allowing a convicted person to serve their sentence in the community under the supervision of a probation officer, adhering to strict rules like regular check-ins, treatment programs, community service, and maintaining employment, with the goal of rehabilitation and public safety. Referrals to community-based services are intended to assist parents or caregivers in obtaining community resources, such as health care, mental health care, employability development and job training, and other social services. Restorative justice is an approach focused on repairing harm, acting as an incarceration alternative by bringing victims, offenders, and community members together in facilitated dialogues to address a crime's impact, foster accountability, facilitate healing, and build community. It emphasizes victims' needs and offender responsibility. Specialty courts, or problem-solving courts, divert offenders with specific needs (like substance abuse, mental health, or trauma) into treatment and rehabilitation programs, rather than traditional punishment, using a collaborative team (judge, treatment providers, etc.) to address root causes and reduce recidivism through monitoring, incentives, and sanctions. Common types of specialty courts include Drug Courts, Mental Health Courts, Veterans Courts, and Domestic Violence Courts. Substance use disorder treatment usually offers individual, group, or family therapy sessions and typically focuses on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free, and preventing relapse. - Target rule: No target rule stated - Source: DOJ Office of Justice Programs, solicitation performance measures, https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/funding/performance-measures/pmqd/performance-measures-family-based-alternative-justice.pdf #### What is the target population of the program?

Community service is unpaid work for a community organization, or a structured work experience designed to benefit the community. Treatment interventions have broad goals of preventing crime and reducing recidivism for youth who have committed crimes. Most effective treatment interventions typically provide larger amounts of meaningful contact (treatment integrity), are longer in duration (more dosage), and offer a comprehensive approach that combines various treatments to address a person's multifaceted problems. Types of interventions vary, ranging from a focus on behaviors to skills-oriented interventions, such as therapy, counseling, or groups. Support services are typically community-based resources that support violence prevention and assist children, youth, and families who are involved in the juvenile justice system. The goals are broad but often promote the well-being and stability of program participants. Examples include mentoring or navigation of social services. - Target rule: No target rule stated - Source: DOJ Office of Justice Programs, solicitation performance measures, https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/funding/performance-measures/pmqd/performance-measures-strategies-support-children-exposed-to-violence.pdf #### What trauma-informed services for children are funded, in whole or in part, by this OJJDP grant?

This model involves understanding that trauma can affect a child's physical, emotional, and developmental health, and it emphasizes creating safety, trust, and empowerment through collaboration. Children refers to children exposed to violence. The exposure can be a direct or indirect exposure to violence in the home, school, or community—including being victims of abuse or neglect. Indirect exposure to violence means witnessing or hearing about violence directed toward others. Cognitive behavioral therapies are therapeutic approaches used to reduce recidivism by changing the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to delinquent activity. Psychotherapy is a form of mental health treatment that uses talk therapy to help children and adolescents understand and resolve problems, modify behavior, and develop coping strategies. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy are tailored to young people’s developmental needs, with goals ranging from managing anxiety and improving social skills to resolving family conflicts and boosting self-esteem. The process involves a trained professional helping the young person develop a better understanding of their emotions and actions, often working with the family as well. Crisis intervention services are short-term, intensive supports designed to stabilize a child experiencing a mental health or behavioral crisis and to prevent more severe consequences, such as hospitalization or out-of-home placement. These services involve immediate assessment, de-escalation techniques, and creating safety and coping plans with the child, family, and other support systems. They are often provided through mobile teams, crisis centers, or school-based services to help restore a child's functioning and provide connections to ongoing care. Family support services are community-based resources that assist families in promoting their members' well-being and stability. Examples include counseling, peer mentoring, navigation of social services, respite care, and support for families in caring for a child with a developmental or behavioral challenge. - Target rule: No target rule stated - Source: DOJ Office of Justice Programs, solicitation performance measures, https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/funding/performance-measures/pmqd/performance-measures-strategies-support-children-exposed-to-violence.pdf #### What form of violence exposure is addressed by this program? Select all that apply. - Code: Q3 - Requirement: required - Definition: Answer options: o Physical o Emotional o Sexual o Bullying o Community o Domestic o Other, specify: \_\_\_\_ Physical violence involves using an object or body part to physically harm or control a child. This can include hitting, shaking, pushing, punching, kicking, choking, burning, and the inappropriate use of physical punishment or restraint. In severe forms, it can lead to head trauma, disability, or death. Emotional violence involves persistent emotional maltreatment that causes severe and adverse effects on a child's emotional development. Examples include threatening, insulting, rejecting, ignoring, ridiculing, scaring, or constantly criticizing a child. Sexual violence involves forcing or enticing a child to take part in sexual activities that they cannot consent to or do not fully comprehend. This ranges from non-contact activities (such as exposure to pornography or grooming) to physical contact (fondling, non-penetrative acts, and rape). Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior by another child or group of children (who are neither siblings nor in a romantic relationship) that involves repeated physical, psychological, or social harm. It can occur in schools or online (cyberbullying). Community violence refers to exposure to interpersonal violence outside of the home, which can be experienced directly, indirectly, or by witnessing it. This can include events like assaults, shootings, or fights, and the exposure is considered an environmental stressor that can have detrimental impacts on a child's mental health, behavior, and cognitive development. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, psychological, or technological actions or threats of actions, or other patterns of coercive behavior that influence another person within an intimate partner relationship. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone. - Target rule: No target rule stated - Source: DOJ Office of Justice Programs, solicitation performance measures, https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/funding/performance-measures/pmqd/performance-measures-strategies-support-children-exposed-to-violence.pdf #### Where does your program provide services for program participants?
