BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County, through its Contra Costa County Employment & Human Services Department (County), Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI), was awarded a three year Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) in order to implement the Youth Justice Initiative (YJI) in Contra Costa County. County is engaging Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial, Inc., to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application. The YJI applies innovative evidence-based practices to improve outcomes and to create a model for improved school engagement, successful prevention of juvenile justice involvement by youth, and recidivism reduction.

Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial, Inc. provides technical assistance, on-going training, and other tools in order to implement a trauma-informed violence prevention model pilot in the Antioch Unified School District as well as provide trauma-informed practices and tools overall to YJI partners. YJI partners include Contra Costa County Probation, Contra Costa County District Attorney, Contra Costa County Public Defender, EHSD bureaus, and community-based agencies.

This amendment provides funding for additional trauma awareness training services to EHSD California Work Opportunity and Responsibility t Kids (CalWORKs) and Welfare-to-Work (WTW) staff. (19-985-1)

EHSD California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) and Welfare-to-Work (WTW) staff will not be able to provide improved service delivery resulting from trauma awareness training.
