Vulnerable children, parents, and family members require the intensive, collaborative efforts of child welfare,
the dependency court, treatment providers, and other community members to meet their complex
treatment and service needs.
No single agency has the skill or capacity to meet all of their needs.

2C. Participation in FTC Pre-Court Staffing—3
Observational studies suggest that when judges do not attend pre-court staff meetings, they are less likely to be adequately informed about or
prepared for interacting with participants during review hearings.(Source: Portillo et al., 2013)
The judge encourages participants to honestly discuss their successes and challenges with parenting as well as their relationships with their children in their efforts to achieve long-term recovery, reunification, and permanency for children.

3. Ensuring Equity and Inclusion—2
An evaluation of the King County, WA Family Treatment Court (KCFTC) examined differences in outcomes between KCFTC participants and a comparison group of nonparticipants.
Families of color in the KCFTC entered treatment sooner than those in the comparison group and at a rate equivalent to that of white families in the
KCFTC. Further, children of color in the KCFTC were more likely to be returned home (i.e., to have their dependency case dismissed, be reunified, or have a trial home visit) than children of color in the comparison group
and had return rates comparable to those of white children in KCFTC. (Source: Bruns, et al., 2011)

4C. Use of Valid and Reliable Screening and Assessment
Use of subjective criteria has the potential to exclude families from FTCs for reasons that have not proved valid or meaningful in the course of the court experience. Removing subjective eligibility
restrictions and applying evidence-based selection criteria significantly increase the effectiveness and cost-efficiencies of drug
courts by allowing them to serve their target population.

Participants in an FTC that were provided immediate, intensive SUD treatment had significantly more reunifications, their children had fewer placements in longer-term foster care, and their children spent less time in non-kinship care than families not in the FTC.
