our Report to the Community

Message from the Chief Executive Officer
Citizens Acting Together Can Help, Inc. (CATCH) is a not-for-profit corporation
providing behavioral health and intellectual disabilities services in an area that
includes portions of Center City and South Philadelphia, west of Broad Street to
the Schuylkill River and south of Chestnut Street to the Naval Base. Services are
accessible to the hearing impaired as well as to those speaking languages other
than English.
Raymond A. Pescatore
Chief Executive Officer
We have spent the past three decades building the organization’s capacity to
provide high-level quality behavioral health and intellectual disabilities services in
an ever-changing environment. We are a hands-on organization where each person
is valued for his/her contribution to the success of the organization. The efforts of
our Board of Directors and staff, as well as the steadfast support of our local,
Commonwealth and Federal representatives have made it possible to continue to
expand our programming and to serve our community.
The Philadelphia Behavioral Health System is transforming to a more recoveryoriented model and there are major changes in our Medicaid System being considered;
political lines are being drawn over the future of America’s safety-net health care
coverage. However CATCH has remained focused on improving the implementation
of such publicly funded programs because we believe that there are a myriad of
opportunities yet available for improving the delivery of services.
Focusing on strengthening our partnership with consumers – improving quality,
decreasing inefficiencies and building system capacity – we continually aspire
to enhance the resiliency in the people we serve while meeting our fiscal
responsibilities.
CATCH, Inc. is passionate about helping people and committed to our core values
of respect, care and passion for innovation and integrity.
What follows is a program by program snapshot of CATCH, Inc. and its
accomplishments over the past thirty five years, as well as an overview of the
many services we provide to the citizens of Philadelphia.
Letter From The Chairman
CATCH was established in 1979 and is celebrating 35 years of service to
the South Philadelphia Community in 2014. As an established provider of
Community Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services,
CATCH recognizes its ongoing responsibility to serve and to enhance the
community at large. CATCH, Inc. reasserts its responsibility to the
Philadelphia region by conducting all of its programs at the highest
level with excellent personnel utilizing the best resources.
The goal of each CATCH program is to develop realistic, specific, and
individualized programs for each person it serves in order to achieve, to live,
and to succeed at home, at work, at play, and in society as a whole.
Newly designed programs continue to strengthen CATCH’s base of offerings.
There are increased efforts toward the employment of the intellectually
disabled; the establishment of new programs for monitoring children;
new programs for students in the School District of Philadelphia; long-term,
interventional, emergency, and geriatric resident programs throughout the City;
ongoing outreach in consultation with partner agencies, work-training programs;
and our outstanding transportation department specializing in the delivery of
residents to healthcare providers throughout the region. Our most recent endeavor,
Patriot House, is dedicated to providing a permanent residence for Veterans who
find themselves homeless. These are just a few of our accomplishments of which
we are extremely proud.
Additionally, we are ever grateful for the ongoing financial support and partnering
that CATCH receives from the City of Philadelphia, Department of Behavioral
Health and Intellectual disAbilities, Community Behavioral Health, Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, and other organizations as well as many named and anonymous
friends and benefactors throughout the region.
I am proud to be a part of the CATCH Community and extremely honored to serve
as Chairman of the Board of Directors. I know that I speak for the entire Board
when I say thank you to CATCH’s outstanding Leadership Team, and excellent
staff for a job well done.
Emilio R. Matticoli,
Chairman
Mission
CATCH, INC. MISSION STATEMENT
Citizens Acting Together Can Help, Inc. (CATCH) has been
providing a comprehensive continuum of treatment, training
and education, residential, consultation, and family support
services to persons with cognitive delays, behavioral health
issues, intellectual disabilities and substance abuse challenges
for over 35 years…and our outreach continues to expand
each and every year.
We believe that all individuals deserve a caring community, a
place to call home although temporary at times – and most
important, a level of personal dignity that comes from functioning
as independently as possible.
In an effort to fulfill our mission, the CATCH staff of
compassionate professionals is dedicated to building bridges
within the community to facilitate programs and services that
enrich the lives of our children, adults and elderly consumers.
History
CATCH, INC. HISTORY
Our beginning can be traced back to the early 1960s when a presidential panel presented a national plan
that established a trend away from over-utilization of large institutions and toward community care.
A subsequent Act of Congress provided funds to build community facilities, and a network of community-based
programs was established in the Commonwealth by the Pennsylvania Mental Health/Mental Retardation
Act of 1966.
Initially, these programs were offered through institution-based grantees that were given responsibility for
designated areas called “Catchments.” In 1979, the program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital was
transferred to a community-based non-profit organization, Citizens Acting Together Can Help, Inc.
The organization’s mission is to care for the vulnerable, honor the life and dignity of all, and engage
community in compassionate service and advocacy.
At CATCH we promote the concept of recovery and self-determination. The notion of recovery from mental
illness refers to a process by which persons create a meaningful, productive life despite the challenges
the illness poses (Anthony, Cohen, Farkas & Gagne, 2002; Deegan, 1988). Self-determination refers to the
right of individuals to have full power over their own lives, encompassing concepts that are central to existence
in a democratic society, including freedom of choice, civil rights, independence and self-direction (Cook &
Jonikas, 2000).
Our consumers range from those making the transition from restricted institutional environments, to young
children making the sometimes difficult adjustment to school and to the elderly with their unique needs.
Our programs are woven into the fabric of the community and work in conjunction with community businesses,
social organizations, community centers and schools. It is our belief that the services and supports we provide
to people with mental illnesses will lead to a full, productive life with meaning and purpose.While the need for
CATCH services grows, the means by which we provide services is constantly changing. National headlines
speak of a “crisis in healthcare” and we have been on the leading edge of adapting to this changing environment.
Through careful management, CATCH, Inc. has been able to administer our funding and payer resources to
maximize the quality of care. In many cases, our efforts have resulted in reduced and contained costs.
Our administration continues to develop and refine its systems to be accountable and competitive in the
cost-conscious healthcare delivery environment of the 21st Century.

SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN, ADULT AND THE ELDERLY
The Mental Health Division (MH) provides comprehensive psychological, psychiatric and social work services.
Through this base service unit function, treatment and other needed services can be coordinated to maximize
quality care.
OUTPATIENT SERVICES: ASSISTANCE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY
CATCH’s Adult and Children’s Outpatient Programs offer comprehensive treatment and counseling services
to any individual within the community. Following an evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed
offering services such as individual therapy, family therapy, psychiatric evaluation, psychological testing,
medication and case management. Drug and alcohol counseling is provided on a consultation basis through
agreements with a variety of citywide drug and alcohol treatment programs.
ADULT CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Case Management Services facilitate the progress of the consumer’s service from the point of intake and
continue throughout their course of service in one of the clinical programs.
The Adult Blended Case Management Program is primarily direct care services provided to the chronically
mentally ill individuals with a history of multiple hospitalizations and non-compliance with existing community
resources. Adult Blended Case Managers provide the following types of services: linking, monitoring,
assessment and service planning, accessing services, utilization, assistance in the utilization of community
resources, problem resolution and crisis intervention.
CHILD AND ADOLESCENT CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
CATCH, Inc’s Child and Adolescent Case Management Program was designed to provide a wide range of
social work services to children/adolescents and their families throughout the City of Philadelphia.
For the last few years, CATCH’s child/adolescent case management department has been working on a special
project with The Department of Behavioral health and Community Behavioral Health (The non-profit medical
assistance managed care entity) to collaborate in the development and procurement of specialized services that
are needed by children and families who have been identified as having multiple and severely complicated
psychiatric, psychological and social services needs.
Collaborative efforts have proven to be quite successful in developing comprehensive treatment strategies
for an extremely high risk and difficult to manage population.

Mental Health Services
SCHOOL THERAPEUTIC SERVICES (STS)
CATCH, Inc.’s School Therapeutic Services strives to provide age appropriate behavioral health interventions
to reduce the barriers to learning due to the child’s mental health diagnosis. Services and interventions occur
within the context of the regular school day to ensure academics remain the primary focus and reduce the
stigma associated with having an individual Therapeutic Support Staff (TSS) with the child throughout the
school day. School Therapeutic treatment services include individual and group therapies as well as offer individual
interventions and behavioral consultations as needed during the school day. Treatment will be specific to the
strengths and needs of the child while also building resources to develop resiliency. The School Therapeutic
Services Behavioral Health Worker (BHW) will have the ability to work with multiple children within the
school with support from a Master’s level Lead Clinician and Group Therapist. The School Therapeutic Master’s
level Lead Clinician, as well as the Group Therapist, provides more specialized therapies such as social skills,
anger management, problem solving, conflict resolution and other treatment services, which are delivered at
least once a week.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH REHABILITATION SERVICES
Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services, formally known as Wraparound Services, is a comprehensive
Clinical Program that strives to develop a multi-level treatment approach for children and adolescents with
complicated and serious emotional problems.
BHRS is comprised of a team of professionals who provide a variety of services in a number of community
settings including the child’s home and school. These professionals provide individual assessment and clinical
services along with social support to the child, his/her parents, his/her siblings and extended family members.
COMMUNITY INTEGRATED RECOVERY CENTERS (CIRC)
The philosophy of CATCH, Inc.’s Community Integrated Recovery Centers (CIRC) is to create an
environment that empowers people in recovery to redefine themselves and succeed in attaining personal
goals and dreams. The CIRC Programs believe that the concept of “recovery” is not only an application and
philosophical entity but is a necessary evolutionary part of our organization’s growth as well as the growth of
the behavioral health system as a whole.
The CATCH CIRC Programs provide the structure and support necessary for each person to achieve his or
her own personal goals. We believe that each individual should have the opportunity to reach his/her fullest
potential, and that it is our responsibility to ensure that everything is done to assist them in this process.
Our philosophy is to assist individuals in making personal choices regarding their goals and aspirations in life,
with the ultimate goal of attaining independence, autonomy and self-esteem.
2
Mental Health Services
Our service consists of highly trained professionals, skilled therapists and counselors, and most importantly,
emphasizes the inclusion of Peer Support Specialists as an integral aspect of the support we provide. Education,
employment training and linkages, health and wellness information and resources, and crisis intervention
services are all highly integrated into our services. Of particular importance is our commitment to establishing
meaningful and productive linkages to community organizations and supports for members, as well as a strong
emphasis on family involvement and/or re-unification, as chosen by the individual member. The CATCH
Community Integrated Recovery Centers (CIRC) programs will honor mutuality with Persons In Recovery (PIR),
highlight cultural competency, and ensure that dignity and respect for the rights of every individual are always
part of the daily operating philosophy. The CIRC Programs are also committed to establishing a minimum
number of positions within the organization specifically for recovering persons.
The ultimate goal of all of CATCH’s CIRC Program services is to foster a renewed sense of hope within the
person in recovery. To cultivate and nurture a belief that each member is a valued and necessary part of society,
and like all citizens, is entitled and fully capable of attaining personal dreams and aspirations.
CATCH, Inc. has three specific sites that are designated as Community
Integrated Recovery Centers (CIRC): Penrose Community Integrated
Recovery Center, Carlisle Community Integrated Recovery Center and a
specialized CIRC program for the elderly known as the Packer Community
Integrated Recovery Center.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Since 1983, the Quality Assurance Department (QA) here at CATCH
has been utilized to augment the delivery of behavioral health services for
consumers within this Catchment Area. Its primary role is to assist the
Mental Health Director, along with Divisional Directors, in maintaining
compliance with regards to city, state and federal regulations.
To achieve the aforementioned outcomes, QA has expanded its scope, with increased responsibilities
towards program monitoring, policy reviews, chart auditing, staff training and much more.
RESPITE I
This 25-bed program, located on the same grounds as the Crisis Residence, serves as the second stop for many
consumers in the continuum of care. Here, consumers are provided with psychiatric, medical and social work
services while they begin their journey toward stabilization and reorganizing their lives. Many individuals stay
as long as a year or two before moving on to the more community based program, Anna’ s House.

Mental Health Services
ANNA’S HOUSE – RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM
In early May, 2006 CATCH proudly opened its newest state of the art residential facility at 1208-12 South 15th
Street – Anna’s House – named in Honor of Philadelphia City Council President, Anna C. Verna who has been
an advocate for CATCH throughout her political career.
Anna’s House serves as home to sixteen residents who will receive psychiatric, case management and life skills
training while in residence. This new location has been designed to provide residents with the comfort and
feeling of a “real” home with a dining area that looks onto the TV room, with lots of natural light from the
adjacent backyard court.
For many years, it has been the aim of CATCH, Inc. to provide quality housing in a safe environment where an
individual consumer can work on the goal of recovery. Anna’s House provides just that environment and more.
The new facility enables CATCH, Inc. to extend its reach and enhance the services it provides.

PENROSE PLACE LONG TERM STRUCTURED RESIDENCE
Penrose Place is a 16-bed residential facility located on the second floor of the CATCH Therapeutic complex at
2401 Penrose Avenue in Philadelphia County. The consumers who reside at Penrose Place have mental health
diagnoses of a chronic, pronounced nature. Most of the sixteen residents of Penrose Place have serious forms of
schizophrenia which have been pervasive throughout their lives since young adulthood.
Penrose Place receives referrals primarily from the County Office of Mental Health. Our consumers are sent to
us from Norristown State Hospital extended acute care units and various other acute care hospitals throughout
Philadelphia County.
The Penrose Place residence provides a home-like setting which motivates all residents to become as
self-reliant as possible and to function independently within the framework of a therapeutic milieu. The
ultimate goal of the program is to reduce psychiatric symptomatology and to increase the total process of
psychiatric rehabilitation through a structured program with a strong emphasis on community interaction.
5
Residential and Emergency Services
The CATCH Residential and Emergency Services encompasses a total of 153 beds. Eight are dedicated to our
Crisis Residence and the other 145 to our many Residential Programs. All of our treatment services are
predicated on the Recovery Model; that is we strive to have each consumer reach his/her full potential and
help them reach their goals by working with them, individually and in small groups.
We at CATCH are determined to exhaust every possible avenue to achieve our desired goal which is to help
our consumers live in dignified residential settings while they continue their journey to Recovery.
COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION
These fifty-eight beds located at three different sites in South Philadelphia embody the concept of Recovery. It is
in these residential programs where consumers are taught the necessary skills which enable them to meet their
individually specified goals and move on to a more productive life while still dealing with a major mental illness.
While living at these sites, consumers work on issues such as money management, budgeting, social/conflict
resolution, vocational and educational needs along with any other area the consumer needs in an effort to
achieve their goals and become a productive member of the community.
SANDY’S HOUSE – RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM
A fifteen-bed residential program designed to meet the ongoing psychiatric needs of our consumers. Sandy’s
House is dedicated to the principal of recovery; that is we strive to have every resident reach his/her peak
potential. This is accomplished by our dedicated staff working with the residents on areas of the need for
medication, budgeting, vocational needs, spirituality, conflict resolution and a whole host of areas which will
enable the consumer to be successful and live life to the fullest.
Sandy’s House is a long-term program where residents may stay several years, thus it gives both clients
and staff time to work on the many areas which will help them reach their goals.
CRISIS RESIDENCE
For most of our consumers, the Crisis Residence is the entry point to our Residential Treatment continuum.
This eight-bed program is designed to meet the psychiatric emergency needs of our consumers and facilitate
transfers to longer term programs such as Respite I, Anna’s House and our CRR Programs.
While at the Crisis Residence, each consumer receives a psychiatric and physical evaluation along with prescribed
medication from our physicians. These evaluations enable our competent staff of nurses and counselors to make
the appropriate referral to the next level of care. It is at the Crisis Residence where the road to recovery begins.
6
PATRIOT HOUSE
Patriot House provides permanent supportive housing to chronically
homeless men and women who are veterans with mental health
(MH) and/or co-occurring substance abuse (SA) disorders in
Philadelphia County.
Patriot Hose consists of fifteen affordable one-bedroom
supportive housing apartments with two apartments that
are fully handicap accessible.
The residents of Patriot House are provided with comprehensive
services that are specifically designed for them to attain the goals
of greater self-sufficiency and economic independence.
Special Needs Support Services:

environment; assists with self-support and responsibility and,
as appropriate, assists with finding and securing employment.
CATCH provides residents with access to a continuum of care
and services from the time of engagement allowing for a successful
progression to self-sufficiency and economic stability. Services
provided by CATCH are designed to motivate the resident, provide
an individualized approach to each resident, and achieve the goals
and objectives developed for each resident.
On-Site Case Management:
CATCH provides each Patriot House resident with a Case Manager
to assist in the rehabilitation process and to oversee all aspects of
the resident’s treatment and progress. The role of the case manager
allows the residents to obtain vital treatments needed while
empowering them to focus on their rehabilitation and development
of skills to live independently, obtain employment and access all
benefits/programs available.
We at CATCH are determined to exhaust every possible avenue
to achieve our desired goal which is to help our consumers live
in dignified residential settings while they continue their journey
to Recovery.

Intellectual disAbilities Division
The service delivery system for persons with Intellectual disAbilities (ID) provides a wide array of options
for consumers to meet their individual interests and needs.
Adult Day Training (ADT)
CATCH’s ADT program offers training in a protected and sheltered facility, in the areas of hygiene, safety,
computer skills, communication, interpersonal skills, physical fitness and basic academics. Even though this
is a facility based program, community integration is a priority. Consumers are encouraged to participate in
activities in the local community with the assistance and support of trained and experienced staff.
Nearly a decade ago at a Board of Director’s retreat, CATCH’s ID Division proposed re-prioritizing our
Adult Day Program to meet the needs of consumers with co-occurring serious medical or physical challenges.
The goal is to provide socialization, sensory stimulation and fine and gross motor development.
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987
Since 1998 CATCH has been providing support and advocacy services to persons with ID who were placed
in nursing homes due to their medical needs. This population was often misunderstood and isolated due to
their disability. CATCH staff has worked to educate the nursing home staff and administration about
Intellectual disAbility. They support their consumers to become integrated into the social life of the nursing
home community. When medically possible, consumers are given opportunities to participate in activities in
the local community such as eating in restaurants, shopping at malls, taking a boat ride on the Spirit of
Philadelphia and going to the movie theater.
12
Intellectual disAbilities Division
Community Integrated Employment (CIE)
CIE services are provided in a combination of classroom setting
and in the community. The services are provided to a worker
with ID by integrating him/her with non-disabled workers in a
truly integrated environment.
CIE services are valued as they are the best opportunity for
consumers to become integrated into a normal everyday life.
CATCH developed an environmental work crew to help
consumers and families gradually transition to and accept
the concept of a real job. Some consumers earn a stipend by
providing janitorial and cleaning services to businesses in the
local community. This experience is designed to assist families
to recognize the potential of a real job for family members
with ID.
CATCH has assisted persons with ID to obtain jobs in movie
theaters, banks, supermarkets, children’s day care centers and
retail stores. After assisting people to obtain jobs, CATCH
provides retention services that include a monthly follow up
phone call and/or visit. If needed, staff assists with mediation,
conflict resolution and retraining. CATCH currently provides
retention services for people who are approaching their
one year anniversary on the job to someone who has been
employed for 22 years.
13
School District Services
CATCH, Inc. has had a long-term relationship with the School District of Philadelphia. This partnership
between CATCH and The Philadelphia School District began in 1980. School District Services is based
on that Partnership. This program is designed for students in kindergarten through twelfth grade, who
have been identified as emotionally disturbed and who require an emotional support-learning
environment within the schools. CATCH, Inc. is providing this service in 11 Philadelphia Public
School Classrooms, supplying multiple professionals experienced in providing coordinated educational
and other support services to children who have been diagnosed with severe emotional disabilities. The
classroom team consists of a Certified Special Education Teacher and Behavioral Support Staff. CATCH
staff recognizes and practice that children come first, parents are our partners, victory is in the classroom,
leadership and accountability are keys to success and it takes the entire community to ensure the
success of our Program.
The goals of CATCH, Inc. School Services:
1. To facilitate learning in an environment where the quest to learn is nourished and expanded.
2. To instill in students the ability to master academic competence and discourage
underachievement.
3. To focus on emotional and social development as well as academic progress.
4. To become part of the school of the school fabric.
Human Resources
The role of the Human Resources Department is to partner with the Executive Management Team to
create and maintain systems designed to meet CATCH’s mission and goals. These systems include but are
not limited to recruitment & retention, credentialing, performance management, training & development,
compensation & benefits, employee relations & recognition, administrative and operational duties.
The mission of the Human Resources Department is to create, promote and maintain a culture of long
standing commitment and dedication from the staff who serve the most vulnerable population.
