illness. We are a source of help and hope to these

individuals and to their families by providing safe,

affordable housing, practical supports, and clinical

housing ... hope ... recovery

Wellsprings an awesome place to live, and a beacon of

hope for those who are troubled. The Wellspring staff

are kind and courteous to members, and knowledgeable

on the issues about mental illness. ~ Dylan



We have provided supportive housing, rehabilitation services, and crisis stabilization services in our community for more than 28 years. Since opening in 1982, we have served nearly 6,000 adults whose lives have been affected by mental illness. Through safe, affordable housing, practical supports, and clinical expertise, we have been a source of help and hope to these individuals and to their families. We know that while cures are elusive, the recovery of a life from mental illness is not only possible, but to be expected. Wellspring provides the safe-havens and supportive community where recovery can first be imagined, and then made real.

Today, a staff of 119, full and part time, provides supportive housing and services to nearly 600 people a year, across nineteen sites. And today, thanks to the efforts of many people, we are larger and stronger than ever before. Our gratitude for that progress extends to people throughout the community: legislators, board members, community partners, state and local funders, donors, family members, consumers and Wellsprings extraordinary staff. We offer a special thanks to Wellsprings former Executive Director, Steve Perkins, who retired in October 2009 after twenty-seven years of service to this organization. We remain indebted to his enduring vision and tireless faith in this agency.

Wellspring was founded by a small group of community leaders and family members who recognized the importance of having a stable place to live, along with

living solutions for mental health recovery

We Are Wellspring!

Wellspring has been an important part of my life for

many years. I cant imagine a better place to work,

contributing to Wellsprings mission to help folks with

mental illness be their whole selves, live fully, and

recover with dignity and personal meaning. What an

honor and a blessing to be part of all this! ~ Katie



the support of knowledgeable staff. Phil Ardery, our founding board chair, wrote and filed the articles of incorporation, establishing our agency as the Schizophrenia Foundation, Kentucky, Inc. The first program to open, in March 1982, was Wellspring House, now called Ardery House in honor of Phil.

Twenty-eight years and eighteen additional sites later, the Schizophrenia Foundation, Kentucky, Inc., has officially become Wellspring, Inc. The decision to make the name change official was both philosophical and practical: The Wellspring name has become well-known and well-

respected across the community by individuals familiar with mental illness and with mental health services.

The original name inaccurately implied services to persons with only one type of mental illness.

The use of the word foundation in the original name suggested that our purpose was to fund other service providers, rather than to be a provider of services ourselves.Another milestone this past year is that, despite the

challenging economic climate, we have achieved 95% of our first-ever capital campaign goal of $2.1 million. These funds enabled us to pay off the loans on the David J. Block Crisis Center and complete a number of critical maintenance and renovation projects on existing properties. Capital campaign contributions will help us sustain our housing and other capital assets into the future. Other works in progress include: laying the groundwork to establish the agencys first

headquarters, which we hope to achieve in the spring of 2011;

receiving a $1.3 million HUD grant to develop the Wellspring-Tonini Apartments, a joint project between Wellspring and New Directions Housing;

partnering with Seven Counties Services, Inc., to provide community-based living opportunities to eight individuals with long histories of residing in institutions. While Wellspring continues to grow and change, we

remain true to our mission to promote the recovery of persons with mental illness through leadership in the development of quality housing and rehabilitation services. Like everyone, we are worried about the future and how the economic recession will impact us. But we are also excited about our work and hopeful about the many ways that Wellspring can continue to have a positive impact on the lives of the many courageous men and women who enter our doors, as an active choice to further their own recovery.

Executive Director Board Chair




We Are Wellspring!

Being a part of the Wellspring family allows me to be true to

my personal desire to help those often overlooked by society,

and enriches my life in many ways. I feel a real sense of

pride in the work that Wellsprings skillful, caring clinical

and support professionals accomplish, and Im glad to be a

part of the team. ~ Patrick Rhodes, Director of Programs



Our MissionTo promote the recovery of persons with mental illness

through leadership in the development of quality housing and rehabilitation services.

History and GrowthFounded in 1982, Wellspring works to improve the lives of

individuals with mental illness in our community. From Ardery House, our flagship site where Wellspring first began providing Transitional Housing, Wellspring moved on to developing Supported Housing and Independent Housing. In 1995, Wellspring opened Kentuckys first Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) the Frank M. Gaines Center. A second CSU, the David J. Block Center, opened in 2007. In addition to our Jefferson County programs, Wellspring operates one site in Shelby County. Wellspring has been recognized as Kentuckys pioneer in providing such services; indeed, Wellspring is the only such provider in this seven-county region.

PhilosophyAt Wellspring, we believe that recovery from psychiatric

illness does not mean a cure; rather, it means developing a satisfying, hopeful and contributing life despite the presence of mental illness. Recovery is a unique process for each person. To most effectively promote recovery from mental illness, the community must respond with an array of options to meet individual clients needs and preferences.

StaffingAll client services are overseen by Wellsprings Director of

Programs, Patrick Rhodes, MSSW, LCSW. Wellspring oper-ates with a staff of over 100 professionals and paraprofession-als, and annually serves nearly 600 clients from Jefferson, Shelby and surrounding counties. Wellsprings staff is continu-ously trained in the best practices in the field of mental illness.

Service FeesCosts for Wellsprings programs and housing rentals vary

according to site. However, all charges are based on a sliding fee scale.

Services and HousingWellspring offers a variety of programs that provide a best-

practices approach for our clients recovery. These include crisis stabilization services at two locations, two transitional housing programs, three highly supported permanent housing programs, and 90 units of deeply subsidized rental housing, including supported apartments, independent apartments, and single-family homes.

Crisis Stabilization ServicesThe goal of Crisis Stabilization Unit programming is to

assist patients in an acute psychiatric episode achieve stabilization and avoid hospitalization. Wellsprings 2 CSU sites, the Frank M. Gaines Center and the David J. Block Center, provide a total of 16 crisis stabilization beds. This program serves patients who are experiencing acute symptoms of mental illness, such as severe depression, mania, or symptoms of psychosis. This is the only Wellspring program that does not require a severe and persistent mental illness diagnosis to be eligible for services. While at a CSU, patients receive intensive treatment, close monitoring with high levels of staff support, and medications prescribed by a psychiatrist.

Multi-disciplinary Staff includes: Full-time Psychiatrist 7 Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counselors Expressive Therapists 24-hour staff double coverage Peer Support staff

The Gaines Center Crisis Stabilization Unit, which opened in 1995, was Ken-tuckys first residential, community-based crisis unit. Until Wellspring opened the David J. Block Center, it remained as this regions only such program. In 2005, the Gaines Center CSU received the Mental Health As-sociation of Kentuckys prestigious Philip P. Ardery Award, honoring ten years of urgent, ongoing psychiatric care and treatment in a community setting. The Gaines Center CSU houses eight men and women, in a home-like setting at the edge of downtown Louisville. Admissions are accepted seven days a week.

Ardery House(502) 637-4361 x19(502) 637-4490 fax

Ardery House opened in 1982. As our first site, it was named in honor of Philip P. Ardery Wellsprings founding board chair. This program assists in-dividuals who are leaving the hospital and/or experiencing homelessness achieve independent living. All par-ticipants have a diagnosis of mental illness; nearly half also have a co-occurring substance abuse disorder.

Ardery House provides room and board, life-skills coaching, social op-portunities, case management, and individual and group therapy for 13 men and women.

Journey House(502) 561-0003(502) 561-9086 fax

Wellspring opened Journey House in 1998 to address the needs of Louisvilles homeless women with co-occurring mental illness and sub-stance abuse issues who were falling through the cracks of a service system ill-prepared to simultaneously treat these illnesses. Most of these women are also victims of violence, and have experienced multiple failures in treat-ment and independent living prior to entering. Journey House is the first residential program in Kentucky specifically designed to serve this population; it accommodates 8 women. Staff is extensively trained in both mental illness and substance abuse treatment. The program provides in-tensive support to the women as they struggle with the issues of recovery from both illnesses.

Wellspring provides 90 units of deeply subsidized rental housing for adults with severe and persistent mental ill-nesses. Our tenants have very limited incomes; many would be homeless or live in substandard housing without this resource. This housing is coupled with appropriate support services from Wellspring and Seven Counties Services, providing tenants a permanent home base for their journey of recovery. Open-ended leases and a variety of housing types and locations allow participants to choose the best fit for their needs. While most of Wellsprings housing is spread geographically throughout Jefferson County, the agency also has one four-unit residence located in Shelby County, in the Shelbyville area. Wellspring also provides scattered site, leased apart-ments, with supportive services, for 15 residents with mental illness who have been identified as chronically homeless.

Wellspring operates 3 supported housing programs which enable par-ticipants with extensive psychiatric hospitalization histories to live suc-cessfully in the community. There is no limit on the length of time a resident may live in these houses. Broadway House, which opened in 1986, is located in the Phoenix Hill neighbor-hood. It is home to 8 men who live in a congregate environment. Concord Apartments, in the Hikes Point area, opened in 1987; it provides housing for 8 women in four two-bedroom apart-ments. Crescent House, a single-family home for 3 men, opened in 2003. Staff complement includes: Masters level clinical social workers Consulting psychiatrist Residential staff coverage (variable,

according to clients needs) 24-hour on-call clinical staff

Wellspring helped me get my own apartment, after nearly

two years of homelessness. I love everything Wellspring is

doing for me. It has helped me with reducing my stress so

that now I can envision a future with a stable life in the

community. ~ Charles

Additional thanks to the many Wellspring board members, staff members and clients who contributed time and talent to this project.

About the ArtArt Therapy program is part of Wellsprings supportive services programming. Expressive Therapists Carol A. Miles, LPCA, LPAT, MEd, Katie McCarthy, MA, ATR-BC, LPAT and Ashlee Grate, MEd provide instruction and encouragement to the program participants. The artwork featured on the cover and throughout this report was created by Wellsprings program participants.

Carol MilesI believe that art creates change. It allows us another form of communication when words are not enough and opens up new opportunities for understanding. It is rewarding as an art therapist to guide clients of Wellspring through the process of self-expression, witnessing and honoring who they are in that moment.
