Lighting the Way
Since 1891
Message from the
President/CEO
As a Village donor, you have joined forces with a group
of the most dedicated, committed, and talented individuals
you will find anywhere in the service of children and
families. Decade after decade, since 1891,Village staff
have been truly making a difference in the lives of kids and
families.
2014 was a significant year for us in many ways. Our
Minnesota locations continued to excel in every dimension.
Gary J. Wolsky Our St. Cloud office, for example, provided an almost equal
volume of counseling services as that of the Fargo-Moorhead counseling staff.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services has recognized The Village
as one of a handful of “go-to” agencies when dealing with cutting-edge
approaches and early intervention of mental health issues with kids as young
as 0-3.
On the North Dakota side, The Village has been vitally involved (Joy Ryan,
our Executive Vice President, specifically) in both prompting and guiding
how the state views and provides behavioral health services. A number of
key legislative pieces are being reviewed by the North Dakota Legislature
as this is written. The Village Business Institute, in addition to a wide range
of consulting and business diagnostic work, continues to provide employee
assistance services for over 350 businesses and 66,000 households across 34
states. These are but a few examples of our continued dedication in providing
exceptional services to our neighbors. Although we are in our 124th year, we
are certainly not sitting in a rocking chair.
We are very proud of our long history of using holistic approaches to
solve the problems of kids and families, and the creativity we’re noted for in
designing cost-effective solutions. Additionally, our business orientation to our
work and non-dependence on government income continues to set us apart in
so many ways from other nonprofits. This could not have happened over 124
years without your continued partnership. We remain grateful for both your
moral and financial support.
Best wishes to each of you.

Village Annual Report 2014
Message from the
Chair of the Board
As I begin to compose this letter, I realize how quickly my six
years as a member of the Board of Directors for The Village Family
Service Center have gone. My time with The Village has had many rewarding moments, as
well as some challenges. With that being said, I am confident The
Village will continue to make huge strides in building a stronger
and healthier future for the individuals, families, and communities it
serves.
Matthew
Hallaway
I am honored to have served such a tremendous organization that
touches so many people with all of the great programs it provides across North Dakota
and Minnesota. Again, more than 80,000 people this year reached out to The Village
for one of the many services the agency provides. The Village has consistently adapted
to meet the needs and challenges of everyday life and worked to make it just a little
easier for all of us.
During my time on the Board, I have seen the growth of some amazing programs
including Nokomis Child Care Centers, the early childhood mental health services
The Village provides in Minnesota, as well as so many others. I have also seen the
successful integration of First Step Recovery into The Village’s family of programs. In
each instance, I am so proud of the consistent focus of the mission and vision of The
Village, and how that lives in every program The Village provides.
Our economic times have continued to present challenges to The Village’s
operations, but the need for Village services by communities and individuals remains
high. What I am most proud of as I see these challenges is the legacy of caring
that exists at The Village. The professionalism and positive attitude shown by all
employees, each and every day, is commendable. Village staff are committed to
serving others, and we are so blessed to have employees who light the way in an everchanging landscape to a healthier and happier world.
I wish to express my gratitude to all the employees of The Village. I am so humbled
to have been able to work with you. I wish a special thank you to the Executive
Leadership Team who sets the tone for this amazing institution. To my fellow Board
members, thank you for the memorable and humbling experience. Your time and
efforts are greatly appreciated.
I know that The Village Family Service Center will continue to work to inspire
others for years to come. So many of us are touched in some way by The Village, and
we are all better off for it.
On behalf of the Board of Directors at The Village, I would like to thank the many
donors and supporters who make all that The Village does possible. Your continued
support will allow us to light the way into the future to help so many more people.

People come to The Village for a multitude of reasons. Some come because they are dealing with a mental health diagnosis,
some because they are looking to adopt, some because they are experiencing financial stress, or because their children are at
risk of being placed outside of the home. For Britany, it was because she needed the additional support of another caring adult.
Through The Village’s Big Brothers Big Sisters Program, Britany was matched with a Big Sister. Here is her story.
Britany’s
Story
Little Sister Britany was awarded a full ride college
scholarship through the Annexstad Foundation. She is now
attending Concordia College in Moorhead with a goal of
becoming an obstetrician.
It was close to Mother’s Day when Ruth Weber and
Britany Williams headed out for their first get-together as
Big Sister and Little Sister. They decided to drop by the
Humane Society garage sale and let 6-year-old Britany
choose a gift for her mom.
After passing over a variety of Mother’s Day gift
possibilities, something caught Britany’s eye.
“I found this statue. It was of, like, a sewer rat with red
glowing eyes, and it was really ugly,” Britany said. “And
I was like, ‘I want to get this for my mom!’”
“And it lit up,” Ruth said. “Not only did it have red
eyes and it was grey and awful, but it lit up!”
“I thought I’d never hear from you ever again after your
mom opened that,” Ruth said to Britany.
Far from it. Ruth would be Britany’s Big Sister for
more than a decade. Now 18 years old, Britany has
graduated out of Big Brothers Big Sisters, but she and
Ruth continue a close relationship.
“I couldn’t imagine my life without Ruth,” Britany said.
6
The relationship would be eye-opening and lifechanging for both of them.
Britany’s home life was very different from the family
life that Ruth had known. For one thing, Britany’s father
was out of the picture.
“I’ve seen him probably six times throughout my whole
life,” Britany said.
She saw drug abuse in her home and often lacked
adequate parental supervision. At one point during high
school, Britany’s mother served time in prison.
Sometimes Ruth would be shocked by the happenings
that Britany would describe to her.
“And so we kind of had to do a rule that she couldn’t
tell me things…until we got to where we were going
because I just about crashed my car several times,” Ruth
said.
Ruth says she wouldn’t have made it as a Big Sister to
Britany if not for the BBBS staff.
“I didn't understand what I was dealing with,” she said.
Once, BBBS participants were
invited to a Boy Scout camp. There
were a number of outdoor activities
offered, including the opportunity to
shoot a .22 rifle. Britany took to it
like a natural.
“And there was a bunch of old
men; they were like all 85, with
.22s,” Ruth said. “And Britany gets
up there and she gets her little gun
and she hits the target and they’re
like, ‘Have you done this before?’”
“You’re only supposed to get five
bullets,” Britany said. “I think they
gave me like 15. They just kept
giving them to me.”
That night Britany and Ruth
gathered with others around the
campfire.
“It was a beautiful night,” said
Ruth, a nature lover. “The sun was
starting to set…And I look over and
there’s a deer and a fawn off in the
distance.”
And Ruth said, “‘Britany, look,
there’s a deer and a fawn.”
Britany leaned in and said, “‘If I
had my .22, I could get ‘em.’”
“And I…thought, ‘What have I
done?’” Ruth said.
Through all the fun and silliness,
Ruth was impacting her Little Sister’s
life. Britany said Ruth “opened my
eyes to a whole new world.”
“I think she gave me dignity,”
Britany said. “She just always
showed me that life
can be better than what
it was…She just gave
me hope, just showed
me that…you can
forge your own path.
You can become your
own person…You have
the ability to do things,
and you have the
ability to make your
future.”

freshman at Concordia
She didn't understand why Britany
sometimes didn’t have the proper
clothing or why she was hungry
when she came over to Ruth’s home.
She just didn’t understand why things
were as they were for Britany. But
what Ruth did understand was that
Britany needed a stable influence in
her tumultuous young life. And Ruth,
a finance professional who thrives on
organization and consistency, could
do that.
“I felt like I could just be that
constant,” Ruth said. “You know,
I wasn’t rollerblading with her. I
wasn’t the one doing all that crazy
stuff that college kids did; I was
repetitive. From two to four on
Saturday I keep showing up, and
you’re like, ‘You always keep
showing up,’ and I’d be like, ‘Yeah,
I’m here. I’m here.’”
That time meant a great deal to
Britany.
“I just loved being with her,”
Britany said. “We could just go on
the couch, sit down, and not even
talk, and I would just love being in
her presence. It was just nice to have
an adult who would sit there and
listen to me—unconditionally listen
to me, like, look me in the eye and
have nothing else going on but me.”
There would be lots of those
conversations and lots of shared
experiences.

majoring in biology and chemistry
with a minor in psychology.
“I want to become an obstetrician
...I know that for sure,” Britany said.
“I’m kind of thinking about doing
neo-natal surgery.”
Ruth says she’s so proud of the
young woman that Britany has
become. And reflecting on what
Ruth has done for her over the years
brought Britany to tears.
“You don’t know how much of
an impact you’ve had on my life,”
Britany said to Ruth.
Britany said she thinks of Ruth as a
mother and told her, “When my mom
left, I contemplated asking to move
in with you and, like, be my mother.”
“(Ruth has) always been here for
me no matter what,” Britany said.
“She’s never put me down. She’s
never told me I couldn’t do anything.
She’s never not supported me. She’s
never not pushed me to be my best.”
Britany told Ruth, “You’re
probably one of the best things that’s
ever happened to me.”

In St. Cloud, The Village revamped its weekly Anger
Management and Domestic Violence groups with a stronger
focus on addressing the underlying trauma in the attendees’ lives.
Village therapists are well-trained and experienced in trauma
and its impact on people throughout their lives. We have found
that early childhood traumatic experiences can impact a person’s
current level and expression of anger. Helping group attendees
identify and address this trauma can assist them in their recovery.

Thank you to our Village donors who
wish to remain anonymous.
First Step Recovery added additional Registered Nurses and
addiction counselors to its staff to identify and manage the underlying
psychological and medical issues that often accompany addiction. This
allows us to meet the needs of even the most medically complicated
patients—helping them navigate medical issues that can impact
addiction treatment.

Through a federal Family Connections grant, The Village provided Family Team Decision Making and
Family Group Decision Making services to Native American families in six participating North Dakota
counties. The Family Engagement for Native American Youth project seeks to reduce the number of foster
care placements of Native American children (ages 0-18) in North Dakota. From Sept. 2011 to Sept. 2014,
127 families (313 children) were served through the program—safety issues and family needs were addressed
at every meeting. In spite of the extreme poverty and other social issues surrounding our Native American
children and families, they are incredibly resilient and determined to help their families in any way they can.

*The Children’s Village Family Service Foundation was created solely to
support the ongoing work and legacy of The Village Family Service Center.
Equal Opportunity
Employer
The Village Family Service Center will not discriminate against or harass any
employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, creed, religion,
national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, or status with
regard to public assistance. The Village Family Service Center will take Affirmative
Action to ensure that all employment practices are free of such discrimination. Such
employment practices include, but are not limited to, the following: hiring, upgrading,
demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, selection, layoff,
disciplinary action, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and
selection for training, including apprenticeship.
2014 was a year of major trainings for our Moorhead outpatient staff. Katie Dahlstrom
completed her University of Minnesota Infant and Child Development Certificate
program. Joni Medenwald, Kelly Olson, and Katie Dahlstrom were trained in Child Parent
Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidence-based practice used to address trauma in children ages
birth to 6. Mandy Bernardy and Amanda Lindstrom started their training in EMDR and will
be fully trained in this therapeutic model in Spring 2015. All of these trainings are intended to
expand The Village’s ability to properly serve people with trauma-related issues. 36
