Family-Centered Systems Innovation Team
In-Depth Technical Assistance
The Family-Centered Systems Innovation Team (FCSIT) under the National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare (NCSACW) In-Depth Technical Assistance (IDTA) program enables states, Tribes, and their community partner agencies to improve the safety, health, permanency, well-being, and recovery outcomes for families affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. This specialized team helps states develop policies and protocols related to: 1) infants and their families identified as being affected by prenatal substance exposure, 2) the development of Plans of Safe Care (POSC), 3) family-centered practice, 4) pregnant and post-partum women’s programs. The program achieves this objective by facilitating collaboration across agencies serving children and families. Agencies include substance use and mental health disorder treatment centers; child welfare and court systems; as well as public health, health care, and early intervention providers.
The IDTA model and its strategic, phased approach operates on the premise that communities are more likely to implement meaningful and sustainable policy and practice change when they receive targeted training, technical assistance, and coaching in sufficient depth and duration. The technical assistance is tailored to meet the needs individual states and agencies A dedicated senior staff provides tailored services throughout the engagement.
