Anu Family Services Report

Taking a closer look at 2014

Every year we look forward to putting together our annual

report because it provides us an opportunity to share with

our partners our innovations, impact and advancements. I

hope you will enjoy taking a closer look at Anu to see how

your support is helping us to have an impact on youth and

families in our community.

Anu’s mission is to “create permanent connections to

loving and stable families," and we believe every child has

the right to grow up in a permanent family, without

wondering when they will have to pack up everything they

have and move to a new home again without warning.

The challenge is that too many children are living in out-

of-home care without connection to permanent and

stable families. Unfortunately, the number of children

entering the child welfare system is not declining. Finding

enough generous people to open their hearts and their

homes to children in need of healing is at the center of

this challenge. We are incredibly grateful for all of our long-

term and new foster families, and we hope to continue to

grow our network of dedicated foster families.

Jack Tesmer - Board Chair

Amelia Franck Meyer - CEO

Our Parent Coaching services and our Intensive Permanence Services continue to show

incredible results in preventing and healing children's trauma. These services have been growing

and we are now serving over 60 counties in Wisconsin and 35 counties in Minnesota.

Traditional foster care reimbursements only cover the basic necessities for youth, and many of

the innovative healing services we have developed are not available for many youth who could

benefit from them.

We have learned a great deal over the years about what youth need to heal the trauma they

have suffered and remain dedicated to finding and securing the resources necessary for youth

to form healthy connections with loving and stable families.

Thanks for taking a closer look with us,

Jack and Amelia

Mission Statement

The mission of Anu Family Services is to create permanent connections to loving and stable families.

We believe every child has the right to grow up in a permanent family, and all of our programs and services are geared toward making that basic human right possible.

Our Impact

The Anu Framework for Wellbeing is an innovative

approach to serving youth and their caregivers and

is having a dramatic impact.

Our unique approach of offering prevention,

stabilization, permanency and consulting/training

services through the Anu framework for healing

childhood trauma and building networks of support

is resulting in a significant increase in youth who are

connected to loving, stable families and improved

individual and organizational resilience for those we

serve.

Treatment Foster Care Treatment Foster Care continues to be one of our largest

programs with over 100 foster parents in Wisconsin and

Minnesota. Our amazing foster parents have opened

their hearts and their homes to some of the most at-risk

children in our community. Through the Anu Healing

Home model we are achieiving

industry-leading outcomes for

stabilization. Our foster parents receive additional support and training to ensure

they have the tools they need to manage the most challenging behaviors as our

youth begin to heal the grief, loss, and trauma they have experienced as a result

of being removed from their family home.

Parent Coaching

Parent Coaching is our fastest growing program and provides

face-to-face, virtual via Skype, or telephone coaching to any

parent seeking to better understand how their child is

feeling and offers practical tips for how to handle their

child's disruptive and challenging behaviors.

Our Parent Coaching program has nearly tripled the number of families

served since 2013. We have been asked to expand our program

throughout Wisconsin and in Minnesota. For more information about

Parent Coaching please visit: http://www.anufs.org.

Intensive Permanence Services (IPS)

Intensive Trauma Services (ITS)

Our Intensive Permanence/Trauma Services provide critical

healing for youth at risk of aging out of care with no one.

Through our exhaustive search to find

people youth have known and loved, and to whom they are related, and through our intensive healing work we are able to help youth find permanence when others have given up hope.

Advancing the Field Anu Family Services is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field through

on-going outreach, consultation, tool development and written materials.

Anu led the development of the Youth Connections Scale (YCS), Wellbeing

Indicator Tool for Youth (WIT-Y) and the guidebook "Creating a Permanence

Driven Organization: A Guidebook for Change in Child Welfare." Anu leaders

are nationally-recognized experts and provide training and consultation on

Permanency-Driven Outcomes, Wellbeing-Focused Organizations, Building

Individual and Organizational Resilience, and Navigating the Backlash of

Disruptive Innovation.
