Enhanced bridge to success project - the enhanced bridge to success project is the continuation of clark county circuit court #4 family recovery court's dedicated efforts to more effectively reach and help heal families traumatized by drug addiction by assisting parents to become productive citizens as they strengthen their families. Our goal is a reality-based vision: parents will engage in quality parenting skills to reunite with their children, while becoming clean and sober by addressing addictions, healing from CO-morbid mental health diseases, and effectively managing the traumatic influences that have ravaged their lives. We will reach a minimum of 35 additional participants annually (total 175 parents), their children, and extended family members in order to significantly increase the number of children that will be reunified with their clean and sober parents. Measurable objectives focus on this mostly rural, southern indiana county where outside-of-home placements of children reached 35.2% in 2022. More than 60 service providers collaborate with the court on our objectives to restore families through respect and keen awareness of needed services, e.g., job training, affordable housing, life skills, educational attainment, healthy alternatives to illegal and misused drugs, and wraparound services that lead this vulnerable population to become responsible, caring citizens of their community.
