Title: Working With Drug-Dependent Parents and Children at Risk for HIV Infection: A Community-Based Model of Service Delivery (From Courage to Care: Responding to the Crisis of Children with AIDS, P 191-210, 1990, Gary Anderson, ed. -- See NCJ-127599)
Author(s): G Woodruff; E D Sterzin
Date Published: 1990
Annotation: Project WIN is a model demonstration program operating in Boston that provides a variety of services to families with a history of intravenous drug use and children at high risk of developing HIV infection and AIDS. Service providers from various community agencies coordinate services with the families, assign roles and responsibilities for service delivery, and monitor program implementation.
Abstract: WIN, which serves children from birth to six years of age, aims to provide and mobilize community-based services so that families can stay together and avoid using hospitalization for custodial purposes. Direct services support the parents' addiction recovery programs and provide early intervention for the children's developmental needs. Transdisciplinary teams, consisting of a director, coordinator, clinical supervisor, three case managers, and consulting speech and physical therapists, assess the children and plan daily-focused interventions. The transdisciplinary and transagency models have proven effective in working with multi-problem families and in reducing duplication among various community service providers. Two case studies are described and illustrate the skills necessary for successful intervention. Some of these include recognizing drug-related behaviors, building trusting relationships with the clients, setting realistic goals for the family, arranging indirect services for HIV-infected and symptomatic family members, and being culturally sensitive with families whose lives are continually in crisis. 2 figures and 9 references
