Possibly one of the most innovative grants that Clark County Therapeutic
Specialty Courts received was the grant for children affected by methamphetamine
for Family Treatment Court. This grant was applied for in conjunction with the Department
of Community Services. It is a four-year grant totaling 1.48 million dollars.
Funding is being provided for neuro-psychological testing and treatment with children
that have been affected by the methamphetamine use of their parent(s), and
conjointly hands-on parent coaching for the parent(s). Services for the grant are being
provided by The Children‘s Center and Children‘s Home Society with program
evaluation conducted by NPC Research, Dr. Shannon Carey.
