The Year in Review

Highlights from

2016

Spring 2017

Dear Friend of KidsPeace,

In 1882, as a smallpox epidemic swept through

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a group of civic leaders came

together to address the problem of suddenly orphaned children. They founded the Children’s Home of South Bethlehem, an organization created to assist children in need by helping them overcome the barriers they face in learning, growing, and crafting the best life they could have.

135 years later that organization, now called KidsPeace, still has that purpose at the core of everything we do, and our efforts in 2016 were no exception.

The Orchard Hills Campus (Pennsylvania) provides care to children through the KidsPeace Children’s Hospital and Pennsylvania Residential programs. Each day the Hospital cared for an average of 83 children, while our residential programs at the Orchard Hills Campus helped another 181 kids every day. Our Trauma Informed evidence-based approach to residential treatment – especially in the treatment of adolescents with sexual issues - has marked us as national leaders in the field, leading to our experts presenting to state, national and even international audiences on aspects of our training and treatment programs.

In Maine, our day treatment education efforts expanded to a third site, a public school in Greenbush, as our Graham Lake residential programs continued to serve kids in need of specialized treatment. In Georgia, the staff at our Bowdon campus continues to win accolades from regulators and families for the work they do with the growing number of children in the area needing intensive residential treatment; in 2016 we finalized plans for a 20-bed expansion of the Georgia program.

KidsPeace’s foster care operations saw the number of kids served grow again this past year, due in part to the effects of the national epidemic of opioid abuse. Meanwhile, community and outpatient programs continued to fill an important role in the overall mental health treatment system in our communities; for example, in Pennsylvania nearly 700 people used

our free walk-in assessment service, and three out of four surveyed said the service helped them avoid a potential crisis!

Speaking of reaching new people, our redesigned fostercare.com website saw a 66% increase in visits last year, and we continued to see impressive growth in our social media awareness efforts as well. Healing Magazine celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2016 with more than 20,000 subscribers, along with many more readers online. From our Clinical Café professional education series, to our involvement with vocational training for emerging health professionals, to the revitalization of the TeenCentral and ParentCentral services, our outreach efforts extended our expertise and caring well beyond the formal parameters of treatment programs.

Over our long history, we’ve learned that success depends on constant improvement and assessment of performance. In 2016 we expanded the use of satisfaction surveys of clients, their families and referring agencies to all our programs. We also introduced a new Trauma Informed Agency Assessment tool for our foster care operations. The results show clearly that the efforts of our dedicated associates are recognized as making a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Finally, throughout 2016 we’ve continued to consider the future through the development of a new Strategic Plan to guide the organization over the next three years. One of its most important aspects is a new mission statement for KidsPeace – one that reflects the inspiration we share with all those who shaped this organization over its incredible history:

Our mission: To give hope, help and healing to children, adults and those who love them.

We look forward to working with you to fulfill the promise of that mission for our NEXT 135 years!

Best wishes,

William R. Isemann

President/CEO

DemographicsModel of CareEach year, KidsPeace surveys its clients to gauge how well we met or exceeded their expectations in areas that comprise the foundation of our care-giving philosophy - the KidsPeace Model of Care. The 2016 survey demonstrated that our treatment efforts remain in close alignment with the Model of Care in the opinion of our most important constituency – our clients.

KidsPeace believes in: Safety – Safety is a primary need and a fundamental right of

every child. America’s future depends upon emotionally healthy and physically safe children. All Americans — especially teachers, counselors and children’s group leaders — share responsibility to positively nurture, respect and safeguard children.

Dignity – Every child is unique and has worth and value.

Relationships & Belonging – Children grow in the context of supportive relationships. Kids are helped most by people closest to them. Mothers and fathers are the single most powerful support system for children.

Empowerment – Every child has powerful potential. Help for children facing crisis must be available anytime, anywhere.

Character – Children learn by making decisions and taking action based upon values. Helping children anticipate and overcome crisis is a moral imperative and a wise investment of resources.

Transformation – Children discover strengths through choice, risk, failure, insight and success. Every American has a moral obligation to protect and support children as they discover their strengths and transform into healthy adults.

2016 Model of Care Survey

Aligned: building upon and integrated into the KidsPeace platform statement.

Value-driven: describing the goals of our service as the outcome of our beliefs.

Kid-centered: placing children as central to all programs and participation in organizational life and responsibility.

Strength-based: recognizing the strengths and potential of youth rather than their deficits and empowering competent development by children.

Peer-related: developing relationships of the individual to the peer group, which is crucial to growth toward independent and successful living.

PA EducationStudents in youth residential treatment attend on-campus classes with emphasis on the curriculum for their particular grade level and home school district requirements. Communications with home school districts enable us to maintain coursework and meet Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals. Many of the students that come to KidsPeace are three to four years behind their peer group academically.

Upon admissions, each student is tested in both math and reading. The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (K-TEA) provides a base for students’ functioning math level. Reading ability is measured with the Woodcock-Johnson III Diagnostic Reading Battery. After six months of programming, a student is retested.

In 2016, 71% experienced gains in their academic performance in math and 85% showed academic improvement in their reading scores during their residential placement with KidsPeace. Our students’ progress and success is due largely to smaller class sizes and curricula adapted to their specific needs.

Resources and ExpendituresOver its 135-year history, KidsPeace has built a reputation for providing a level of care noted for its exceptional quality and effectiveness. For a nonprofit like KidsPeace, providing such care requires substantial financial resources. The bulk of our funding comes from fees paid by governmental agencies and private insurers; we are fortunate also to have a base of generous donors - individuals, foundations and granting organizations - who provide additional funding for our variety of services.

Four out of every five dollars spent by KidsPeace in 2016 went toward program expenses to provide care and treatment to our clients, with the remainder funding administration, marketing and advancement activities. Salaries and related benefits for our highly trained associates who provide direct and indirect care for our clients accounted for 71 percent of all expenses in 2016.

It’s through the generosity of our donors that we are able to go beyond offering our clients loving care, and provide true hope and healing to those in need. Thank you!

"Having the opportunity to represent the employees of KidsPeace is one of my greatest privileges. These are human beings that day in and day out, for little pay, and even less recognition, take care of some of the most vulnerable children in our society. These children come to KidsPeace damaged and sometimes broken, and the compassion and commitment to give them a chance at a happy life is beyond measure.

KidsPeace is the best in all of us. KidsPeace makes me believe. KidsPeace shows me how fortunate I am. KidsPeace makes me want to be the best human being I can be." Tony DaRe CEO & Agency Principal, BSI Corporate Benefits

"I never used to think much about foster kids or the foster system. Then in 2013 two of my friends asked me to help with a new fundraising project for the organization they work for - KidsPeace. I started learning about the services they offer beyond just finding the kids a roof and a caretaker. That first event was very small and the program manager shared the story of how a young boy had come into their office with money from his piggy bank that he wanted to donate to help other kids. 80-something odd dollars. She told us that up until this night that was the largest single donation they'd ever received at their local KidsPeace office. Everyone attending was very touched hearing this story, and about the need for individualized care for the kids in the program. They wanted to know how they could help more. All of us on the Board were eager to start planning a bigger and better event for the next year - we wanted to make sure more of the community knew about the specialized services KidsPeace offers.

As I heard and learned more and more personal (yet anonymous) stories about the KidsPeace kids and even met some of them at family events, I knew I had to continue to help raise awareness and support for the unique services KidsPeace pro-vides. The staff for this program is remarkable and I'm grateful I was given the opportunity to learn about and be a part of it."

“In a world where we look at all that is going on across the globe sometimes we don’t look at what is going on here in our own backyard and in our backyard we have children that are suffering because they have emotional and behavioral problems that can affect them going into adulthood and I believe my support can help to change this.”Gary A.

"As a born and raised citizen and local business owner at The Dent Grappler here in Fayetteville, NC, I always wanted to make a difference in our community. It only took a few moments hearing the stories about the difference that KidsPeace is making in the lives of so many children, that I immediately felt drawn to their mission. I proudly display a chair I personally own in each of my children's bedrooms from the Chair-ity Auctions so my children know the importance of what KidsPeace does for foster children. Not only in placement of homes, but continuing in aiding in development well after. I'm so very proud to be a small part of the large contribution this organization makes in the needs of children and families looking to adopt."
