Description

The Kentucky Administrative Office of the Court will utilize funding to eliminate the duplication, interruption, and fragmentation of the system of care services for youth with mental illness and/or co-occurring disorders. It will serve a minimum of thirty (30) youth the first year and then up to forty-five (45) youth in each subsequent year. It will also include the development of a ‘one front door’ entry system for youth to access mental health and substance abuse treatment services, through the Louisville Adolescent Network for Substance Abuse & Co-Occurring Treatment (LANAcAT) network. The project will also adopt a framework similar to a mental health court or a juvenile drug court to facilitate the coordination of treatment services across the agencies, and to promote the needed accountability for both the youth being served and the agencies providing the services.
