NCSACW's In-Depth Technical Assistance (IDTA) program enables states, Tribes, and their community partner agencies to better improve the safety, health, permanency, well-being, and recovery outcomes for families affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The program also helps states develop policies and protocols related to: 1) infants born and identified as being affected by prenatal substance exposure, and 2) the development of Plans of Safe Care (POSC).
The 18- to 24-month 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. NCSACW has provided IDTA to 31 sites since 2003.
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. A dedicated change liaison provides tailored services throughout the engagement.
