Kathryn Icenhower, SHIELDS for Families, Los Angeles

As a social worker in South L.A. during the 1980s' crack epidemic, Icenhower saw too many babies born addicted to drugs. Icenhower discovered that many women refused treatment at rehabilitation centers because they knew their children would go into foster care. She created a new model that keeps families together by letting children stay with their mothers at the treatment center, while also helping families address issues connected with substance abuse through family therapy, parenting classes, and housing, education and job training services. More than 80 percent of SHIELDS' clients complete their treatment programs (triple the national average), and the decrease in drug-exposed newborns saved one hospital $60 million per year. Icenhower also designed an initial assessment protocol that, during a child-welfare crisis, offers immediate assistance and treatment options. This new practice, recently adopted countywide, is expected to dramatically reduce new foster care cases in L.A. and save the county $92 million over five years.
