The Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) received a $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under the STOP School Violence Program (CFDA 16.839). The award, titled "Project STRIVE", aims to implement the evidence-based Communities in Schools framework in Ashley, Drew, and Prairie Counties, Arkansas. The project will enhance these schools' ability to address violence through comprehensive training, improved home-to-school communication, and sustainable partnerships with community-based organizations. Key activities include providing academic assistance, behavioral health and wellness interventions, attendance monitoring, basic needs support, life-skills development, and preparation for post-high school life. The project is expected to result in improved academic performance, increased attendance, enhanced behavioral and socioeconomic development, reduced dropout rates, and improved access to community resources that address health, wellness, and life skills. AFMC will partner with local educational agencies, behavioral healthcare providers, and the Arkansas Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health to deliver these services and achieve the project's goals.
