J. BACKGROUND

The Court/Department seeks proposals from qualified non-profit, for profit, and governmental Management

Entities to develop, manage and ensure fidelity of delivery of an evidence-based continuum of care within

Macon-Bibb County specific to Functional Family Therapy (FFT). This continuum of care will reduce

recidivism by addressing the criminogenic needs of youth under the custody and/or supervision of the

Juvenile Court and by strengthening family support. FFT is a culturally sensitive clinical prevention and

intervention program that encompasses the family unit in addressing multi-layered issues of the high-risk

youth. FFT is flexible in structure and concentrates on increasing protective factors in order to decrease risk

factors of the adolescent. Therapeutic work concentrates on intrafamily and extra family capabilities (i.e.,

values, resources, communication, sources of resistance) in order to reduce problem behaviors found

among family relational patters. FFT focuses on a change of behavior within the individual through skill

training among family members, parenting, problem-solving and conflict management. FFT has proven to

be effective in reducing antisocial behavior among diverse populations of serious and chronic juvenile

offenders. The usual duration of FFT treatment is up to thirty (30) sessions (for high-needs family units)

over the course of three (3) months to six (6) months.
