Summary & Background
The Juvenile Court recommends the contract with Evidence-Based Associates, LLC for implementing FFT, ART, and MST evidence-based services to court-involved children and families.
Scope of Work: The Fulton County Juvenile Court (FCJC) seeks to advance its mission of rehabilitating youth and restoring families through the continued provision of evidence-based therapeutic treatment and intensive, home-based family services. These services are designed for children who meet established eligibility criteria and who may otherwise be at risk of placement outside of the home. FCJC’s service continuum includes community-based family and group reintegration services, prevention programming, mentorship, behavioral health assessments, and other supportive interventions aimed at reducing recidivism and strengthening family stability. Based on program performance and ongoing service needs, FCJC recommends the renewal of its contract with Evidence-Based Associates to continue delivering the following evidence-based interventions to court-involved youth and their families: Aggression Replacement Training (ART): A cognitive-behavioral intervention focused on reducing aggressive behavior and improving social skills. Functional Family Therapy (FFT): A family-based intervention designed to improve family dynamics and reduce youth behavioral issues. Multisystemic Therapy (MST): An intensive, family- and community-based treatment model that addresses the multiple environmental systems influencing chronic and violent juvenile offenders, including the home, school, and peer networks. These programs are critical to FCJC’s strategy of providing effective, research-based alternatives to out-of-home placement while promoting long-term positive outcomes for youth and families.
Community Impact: Court involved youth, their families and Fulton County at-large are positively affected when Court involved youth and where applicable, their families, receive evidence-based services. The services provided result in a reduction in juvenile delinquency re-offense rates and empowers Court involved youth and their families to use newly acquired pro-social skills in their communities.
Department Recommendation: The Juvenile Court recommends the contract with Evidence-Based Associates for implementing FFT, ART, and MST evidence-based services to court-involved children and families is renewed.
Project Implications: No future implications exist.
Community Issues/Concerns: No issues have raised.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department does not have concerns.
