NKY hates heroin is a site and organization that helps people affected by heroin addiction and the families of addicts. They offer a digital resource guide that they update regularly. You can also request a paper copy of the guide or print it. The guide covers a brief overview of heroin and heroin addiction, ways to help a loved one, a breakdown of the different types of treatment available, information about casey's law as well as a list of medical and nonmedical detox centers, and residential options for men, women and adolescents. The guide covers the majority of Kentucky and the Cincinnati area. The website also offers links to information about Casey's law, addiction, education to help prevent addiction and  overdoses, and a hotline number.

I could not find any direct information about how NKY Hates Heroin is  funded but there is a place on the website for donations. I believe they also host a 5K run in the NKY area to raise awareness and get donations.

The Sobriety and Recovery Team is a program in Kentucky that is known as START. The START program pairs a child protective services (CPS) worker trained in family engagement with family mentors using a system of care and team decision-making approach with family, treatment providers and the courts. Quick entry into the START services allows START to safely maintain child placement within the home when possible and provides rapid access to intensive addiction/mental health assessment and treatment. A benefit of the START CPS worker-mentor team is that it has a capped caseload allowing the START team member to focus on a family. 
The goals of this program are to:
1.     Ensure child safety
2.     Reduce entry into out-of-home care, keeping children in the home with the parent when safe and possible
3.     Achieve child permanency in Adoptions and Safe Families Act (ASFA) timeframes, preferably with one or both parents or, if not possible, a relative
4.     Achieve parental sobriety in time to meet ASFS permanency timeframes
5.     Improve parental capacity to care for children and to engage in essential life tasks
6.     Reduce repeat maltreatment and reentry to out-of-home care
7.     Expand behavioral health system quality of care and service capacity as needed to effectively serve families with parental substance use and child maltreatment issues
8.     Improve collaboration and the system of service delivery between child welfare and mental health treatment providers
 
The target population for this program is families with at least one child younger than 6 in the child welfare system with a parent whose substance us is determined to be a primary child safety risk factor. 
 
I was not able to identify their source of funding, but I did find that for every $1 spent on START, $2.22 is saved on out-of-home placements costs.

 The Kentucky Department of Education offers multiple programs for meals through school for children who may be coming from poverty or low-income households. 
The National school lunch program is federally funded for these children to get free or reduced school lunches. 

The state of Kentucky has additional programs that help continue that nourishment.The Seamless Summer Option is to continue feeding these children over summer break when they are not at school – as many rely on the school lunches as their main meal during the school year. 

This type of program not only is funded by approved state agencies, but anyone can become a sponsor of this program – donating the funds or supplies or their time to pack these meals and help with distribution. 

This program along with a few others (breakfast program, after school snack, fresh fruit & vegetable) ensure that children are not hungry as hunger plays a large role in their development physically and mentally.

This article discusses the opioid addiction problem within our society and how it can effect reimbursement to the facilities providing it as well as the success of these programs. It was found that a barrier existed in the actual programs availability to these patients. The required staff to help facilitate would be addition specialists, counseling services, medication assisted treatment (MAT) etc. If these institutions provided these the reimbursement from Medicaid is provided by the government. I am not sure of the surrounding locations in my specific area but I'm certain there is a large lack there of as evidence of the high opioid addiction in my community as well as many of my classmates. With this incentive I would certainly hope that healthcare organizations increase the amounts of community resources for this population. If more is available to this patient population we could see a decrease in the amount of opioid addiction. ]]> 2022-04-25 15:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tacyr/cvmfuj2mtm2j/wish/2156816537 Danielle Fisk https://padlet.com/tacyr/cvmfuj2mtm2j/wish/2157251515 https://freestorefoodbank.org/how-food-insecurity-impacts-children/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqYOT-Pqv9wIVtNSzCh0Xegp6EAAYASAAEgIyZ_D_BwE

It is funded by local community members, donations, local businesses, the local government, and the state housing authority. I personally was touched by this home after donating clothing and home goods at the entrance there in the picture on the left near the playground. When I drove up there were women chatting, men standing, children playing, and babies sitting in the grass.  The children were riding their bikes and the men were helping me unload. Initially, I felt nervous because I wasn't sure how they felt about me dropping off so much stuff, but then one of the women that had her baby in the grass yelled, "Hey lady thank you, God bless you, we really appreciate it." Others chimed in. It touched my heart so much I started crying. I imagined how hard it would be to be a young mom without support and with a baby and other children trying to work. How the sense of community and having a safe place for food, clothing, shelter, and support would mean to me. This place is such an asset to the community and a place of hope. I wasn't expecting it to pull on my heart the way it did and I plan to continue donating my gently used items to this shelter.  -Angel Brewer]]> 2022-07-27 14:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tacyr/cvmfuj2mtm2j/wish/2250629889
