PROGRAM BACKGROUND. Improving the health of women, mothers and children is critical to the future of Texas. HHSC WHP provides a continuum of care through an array of women’s health and family planning related services, including Healthy Texas Women (HTW). These services consist of providing low-income Texas women access to safe and reliable services at no cost including screening, diagnostic, follow-up services, appropriate referrals, along with, public information and education programs. Services also consist of access to health and family planning services to avert unintended pregnancies, positively affecting the outcome of future pregnancies and the health and well-being of women and their families.
PROGRAM BACKGROUND. The development of this grant for primary Substance Use and Misuse Prevention Services is based on federal regulation (45 CFR §96.125) requiring states to use at least 20 percent of their Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) allotment towards primary prevention. Federal regulation requires states to develop a comprehensive primary substance use and misuse prevention program that includes activities and services provided in a variety of settings directed at individuals who have not been determined to require treatment for a substance use disorder within the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) Continuum of Care. The substance use and misuse prevention programs outlined in this RFA, align with the Texas Statewide Behavioral Health Strategic Plan (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/sites/default/files/050216-statewide-behavioral-health-strategic- plan.pdf) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) guidance on substance use and misuse and information found in the Focus on Prevention literature (xxxxx://xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/product/Focus-on-Prevention/sma10- 4120). Grantees providing substance use and misuse prevention services follow the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) planning process of SAMHSA (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/capt/applying-strategic-prevention-framework) as a guide to assist communities in planning and implementing prevention strategies, programs, and activities. The SPF is a five-step process used to help communities reduce risk-taking behaviors, promote resilience, and prevent problem behaviors in individuals and families across the life span. This framework is based on several critical principles: prevention as a continuum; the methods of prevention are the same for many diseases, behaviors, and disorders; successful prevention decreases risk factors while enhancing protective factors; prevention strategies should use proven practices within systems that work; systems of prevention services work better than isolated efforts; information and tools should be shared across service systems; and substance use should be addressed comprehensively. Grantees must strengthen prevention efforts and strategies for coordination across multiple levels of impact following the Social Ecological Model (SEM). The SEM is a conceptual framework developed to better understand the multidimensional factors that influence health behavior and to categorize health intervention strategies (XxXxxxx et al., 1988). Intrapersonal factors a...
PROGRAM BACKGROUND. The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program (SALC), a component of the Strategic Growth Council’s (Council) Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, supports the California’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals by making strategic investments to protect agricultural lands from conversion to more GHG intensive uses. Protecting critical agricultural lands from conversion to urban or rural residential development promotes smart growth within existing jurisdictions, ensures open space remains available, and supports a healthy agricultural economy and resulting food security. A healthy and resilient agricultural sector is becoming increasingly important in meeting the challenges occurring and anticipated as a result of climate change. Auction revenues from the Cap-and-Trade Program are deposited into the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), which the Legislature and Governor appropriate to a variety of programs such as the SALC and which operate under the umbrella of California Climate Investments. All projects funded by GGRF monies must reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions. Agricultural Land Conservation Planning grants provide funds to cities and counties in collaboration with local stakeholders to develop and implement plans for the protection of agricultural land at risk of conversion to non- agricultural uses. This component of the program incentivizes local governments to work closely with local stakeholders to develop local and regional land use policies and implementation activities that integrate agricultural land conservation in a way that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, supports job creation, and benefits priority populations. The Council identified the California Department of Conservation (Department) in conjunction with the Natural Resources Agency (Agency) to administer SALC. The Strategic Growth Council approved the roles of the Department and the Agency at its July 10, 2014 meeting. In addition, SALC has been developed in consultation with the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
PROGRAM BACKGROUND. The Safe Driving Program began in Mecklenburg County on July 1, 1989. The Safety and Health Council of North Carolina, a 501(c)(3) non-profit association and State Chapter of the National Safety Council (NSC), initiated the Program as a cooperative traffic safety effort with the district attorney’s office, court system and law enforcement agencies. At the discretion of the district attorney, drivers charged with traffic infractions h earn reductions on their offenses by completing four hours of classroom driver training. Since the program’s early days, we have added training to meet the special needs of inexperienced drivers as well as behavior modification classes for chronic offenders. From 1989 through 2020, 1,322,900 drivers completed the Safe Driving Program for traffic offenses in North Carolina through the SHCNC and accredited North Carolina community colleges. Defensive Driving Course Requirements The Safe Driving Program uses the curriculum developed by the National Safety Council known as the “Defensive Driving Courses (DDC)”. The National Safety Council launched the first DDC in 1964 and has since taught more than 75 million drivers in the United States, Canada, and abroad. The Safe Driving Program courses in North Carolina are:
