GENERAL INFORMATION. 1. Purpose. This request for proposals (RFP) is to contract for consulting services to be provided to the Penobscot Nation, a federally recognized Indian tribe, located at Indian Island, Maine to assist in developing policies and procedures, guidelines, and a data collection system for its Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court. 1. Description of Penobscot Nation. The Penobscot Nation has existed since time immemorial in the State of Maine, particularly in the central and coastal areas. The Nation was federally recognized in 1979, it has approximately 2,400 enrolled members, and the seat of its government is located on Indian Island on the Penobscot Nation Reservation. In 1980, the Nation entered into a settlement with U.S. government and the State of Maine to compensate for sales and transfers of land conducted in violation of the federal Non-Intercourse Act of 1780. The resultant Maine Indian Settlement Act (?Act?) ratified the illegal transfers, established the terms of the relationship of the Nation to the United States, and authorized the enactment of the State of Maine?s Act to Implement the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act, 30 M.R.S.A. ? 6201 et seq. (hereinafter ?MIA?). The MIA governs, in part, the Nation?s regulatory and adjudicatory jurisdiction and relationship to the State of Maine. The Penobscot Nation Judicial System, comprised of the Tribal Court (trial court) and the Court of Appeals, was established by a vote of the Nation?s legislature, the General Meeting, on September 27, 1979. For the last four decades, the Tribal Court has functioned as a court of general jurisdiction within the parameters of the Act and the MIA. Planning for the Adult Healing to Wellness Court Program (?HTWC?), a division of the Tribal Court, began in 1999. The HTWC became fully operational in 2011 with the support of a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Programs grant. In 2014, an unfunded pilot program, the Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court (JHTWC) was undertaken. A U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Delinquency and Prevention Programs grant in 2015 funded the establishment of a formal JHTWC. 1. Project Period: The project period for which consulting services are needed is May 18, 2018 to September 30, 2018. By written agreement of the Nation and the consultant, the period may be extended. II. SCOPE OF SERVICES. The Offeror shall be readily available to perform the following services, as requested by the Judicial System Director, the JHTWC multidisciplinary team, and/or the Penobscot Nation Chief and Tribal Council: * Assess the current operations, policies, and procedures of the existing JHTWC utilizing the ?Tribal Ten Key Components? developed by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) and draft a report of findings and recommendations; * Assist the HTWC team to make the recommended improvements, including revising its policies and procedures to conform with the ?Tribal Ten Key Components,? in order to improve juvenile participant outcomes; * Develop a community and school outreach plan in order to create awareness of the JHTWC?s services and benefits; and * Design and implement a data collection system to support improved court processes and participant benefits.

Join us for our next FREE webinar on Drugs and the Adolescent Brain to understand some of the reasons kids use drugs and how to effectively intervene. Adolescents are infamous attention seekers and risk takers. Many adolescents engage in activities and behaviors that garner attention from others and could be potentially harmful or destructive (whether to the body or mind). These risky behaviors provide a rush or an experience of extreme emotion, which adolescents tend to crave because of their developing emotion center of the brain. One of the last parts of the brain to develop is the judgment and decision-making center, leading adolescents to engage in more impulsive behavior without thinking of future consequences. Substance use is both a typical and a dangerous adolescent activity. It provides the adolescent brain with the stimulation it craves, but can have dire long-term outcomes. This session will explore adolescent development and the impact that substance abuse can have on a young person?s life. Moderators: * Ansley Sherman Muscogee (Creek), Program Attorney, National American Indian Court Judges Association Faculty Presenter: * Jessica Pearce, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges * Judge Kami D.
