- Notice Type: Intent to Sole Source Intended Awardee: National Association for Children of Alcoholics 11426 Rockville Pike, Suite 100 Rockville, MD 20852 Title: Non-Denominational Family and Individual Recovery and Resources Webinar Solicitation#: 13-233-SOL-00548 Date: September 10, 2013 Notice of Intent: The Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) intends to award a contract to support the goals of CSAT's Community Faith-Based Initiative. Efforts to increase consumer-related outreach, training and educational material targeted to faith leaders can enhance their congregants' awareness about alcohol and drug problems as well as possible co-occurring mental health conditions. In addition, these materials provide clergy with appropriate information and congregation education materials to address these problems. In Accordance with 10 USC 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1)(i) NACoA is the only responsible source because they're the only organization with an extensive network that has the capability to reach faith based organizations nationwide. It is essential for SAMHSA to reach out to faith based organizations on a platform of this magnitude for mission success. NACoA's Boards of Directors, Advisers and Scientific Advisers comprise many of the most knowledgeable national experts in the field that is unmatched by any other organization. NACoA has a history of producing high quality, effective materials designed to help members of the general public as well as those affected adversely by addiction in the family. In addition, NACoA has been the managing agency in the multi-phase Clergy Education and Training Project which has partnered with leading national clergy and pastoral care educational organizations since its inception in 2001. This effort has included the expert panels and related materials development for the establishment of core competencies for clergy and other pastoral ministers that are now being endorsed and followed across many faith denominations and pastoral counseling groups. This effort complements the work started through SAMHSA/CSAT's Faith Initiative with the National Association for Children of Alcoholics (NACoA) - "Clergy Guide" on alcohol and drug problems. This effort will bring the guide to life in each congregation through a webinar on how to implement the suggested steps mentioned in the clergy guide. The effort will also provide collateral materials for individuals and family members to intervene with appropriate treatment and support needed to recover from mental and/or substance use disorders. This initiative supports the SAMHSA's Recovery Support Strategic Initiative and the SAMHSA Public Awareness and Support efforts. NACoA provides faith-based contract support to SAMHSA/CSAT's faith-based initiative and develops and publishes SAMHSA's Core Competencies for Clergy and other Pastoral Ministers in Addressing Alcohol and Drug Dependence and the Impact on Family Members, in a joint effort with the Johnson Institute. Background: Faith-based organizations have historically impacted communities and individual behavior. The local faith community is uniquely positioned to help persons affected by mental and/or substance use disorders or members of their families break down the barriers they feel are impenetrable in seeking help for their problems. Issues of alcohol and drug misuse, dependency and addiction, and mental health conditions affect the counseling work and efforts to provide spiritual direction to hurting congregants. Yet, many congregation-based leaders currently have neither the full knowledge nor the skills to work in resolving these issues with individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders. But, with training and resources, the faith community can be an effective facilitator in finding the help and services needed; especially if they have at hand the necessary tools to help the individual and family begin recovery. Providing the faith community with training, consumer-related education resource tools, and teaching them how to connect needed recovery-oriented resources within their local community, can help to facilitate efforts to reach persons who are suffering from their own or a family member's mental and/or substance use disorders within their congregation. In addition, faith leaders can help to educate others in the congregation to assist in the reduction of prejudice and discrimination and the elimination of barriers associated with mental and/or substance use disorders and the achievement of SAMHSA's mission "to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America's communities." Moreover, the goal of SAMHSA's Recovery Support Strategic Initiative to bring the reality of recovery to the millions of individuals and families further supports the offering of these faith-based trainings. In order to accomplish their goals, SAMHSA creates opportunities to join alliances with all levels of government agencies, the business community, recovery community, professional organizations and affiliates within the substance abuse treatment field. These relationships help to foster support to spread the word about the efficacy of treatment, as well as to eliminate disparities associated with mental and/or substance use disorders. Description: This initiative will teach a cadre of multi-denominational clergy to expand their knowledge and understanding of the impact of alcohol and drug problems, to introduce resources available and useful strategies to intervene positively with affected congregants, including children. The goal remains to disseminate materials already developed and compile lessons learned for the respective faith communities (be it denominational, geographic or allied professionals) in order to directly reach the consumer in need of information and help regarding addiction, mental health conditions, intervention, treatment and recovery. The contractor will organize six (6) clergy webinars and will attempt to secure the participation of no less than 75 members of the clergy and allied faith social services providers for each one of the webinars in collaboration with CSAT's Faith Coalition Partners. The six (6) targeted regions will be determined in collaboration with and approval by SAMHSA/CSAT. The proposed six (6) regions will be selected from among the ten SAMHSA's Regions. Region 1 - Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Region 2 - New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands. Region 3 - Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Region 4 - Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Region 5 - Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Region 6 - Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Region 7 - Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Region 8 - Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Region 9 - Arizona, California, Hawaii, Guam, Nevada, American Samoa, CNMI, FSM, Marshall Islands, and Palau. Region 10 - Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
