We protect children from abuse, neglect, and family separation, and help children overcome these things when they do happen. Abuse and neglect are significant problems in the communities we serve, and without help, the long-term impact on children can prevent them from living healthy, productive lives. Some of our programs aim to keep children and families together, and others provide a healing home for children who can’t live with their families. We have nearly a century of experience working with children, and we know that the best way to accomplish our mission is to work with families, whenever possible, to strengthen their ability to care for their children. 2012 Board of Directors Melisa Schultz Chair Frank Anderson Karen Barlow Patricia Bostic Fernando Costa Julie Davidson Liz Hatley Jack Huff Barry King Brenda King Jack Larson Fred Moore Lynn Newman Camille Rodriguez Robert Simpson Dub Stocker Lou Street Carolyn Williams ACH accredited by COA. 2012 Foundation Board Larry Autrey Chair Harry Brants Sherrie Cyrier Mark Johnson Susan Rose Robert Simpson ACH is pleased to announce that we are accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). COA recognizes ACH as an outstanding provider that successfully implements high performance standards and, as such, delivers the highest-quality services to all of its stakeholders. 2 reACH. the magazine of ACH Child and Family Services. www.ACHservices.org a place to have fun. by Dr. Wayne Carson, CEO O ur work on the first phase of renovations at the Wichita Street Campus is nearly complete. Four years of planning, budgeting, decision-making, and construction activity have resulted in a campus that is more spectacular than any of us could have dreamt. The hard work and support of many, many people have come together in a way that will surround children, families, and staff with a beautiful and highly functional setting where we can work hard to find solutions to their challenging struggles. And we’ve saved the most fun part for last—the PLAYGROUND! Imagine what a vital role our playground will play in the success of this campus. It will help make an exciting first impression on children who see it and think, “This place will be fun!” It will be a place for children to burn energy and release some of the tension that has resulted from their struggles. It will provide incredible opportunities for parents to spend time with children having fun and deepening their bond, and it will be a place for children to learn important social skills with peers. Think I’m being too dramatic about a simple playground? Check the research on healing childhood trauma. It clearly points to the importance of physical exertion, the incredible healing power of relationships, and the benefits of children “practicing” skills in real-life situations, not just in therapy sessions. Yes, children will just see this playground as a place to have fun. But we know it is actually a place where important healing will happen. through. Success would not have been possible without such broad, strong support. With each new child adopted by an adoring family, each youth who successfully emancipates, each adult who protects his or her children and overcomes homelessness, and each parent who overcomes conflict with his or her teenager, the positive impact of our combined efforts will be felt for decades to come. We have joined hands and our strength has elevated countless children and families needing some help to get life back on track. It’s incredibly humbling and I am sincerely thankful. In this season of giving, I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank the hundreds of people who have played a role in making this Wichita Street Campus Project exceed our best expectations. It has taken countless staff and volunteer hours, hundreds of generous donors, a dedicated and committed board of directors, and the guidance and expertise of professionals to see this project park Wichita Street Campus Chesapeake Energy Park Pictured L to R: Mallick Family Administration Building, Paul E.

The reception was hosted by Val and Dub Stocker, and the party guests included current and former board members, employees, and friends of ACH and Dr. Carson. During the reception, the board was pleased to surprise Dr. Carson by announcing it had raised money to name one of the play areas in the soon-to-be-built playground on the Wichita Street Campus in his honor. The play area will now forever be called the Wayne K. Carson Preschool Play Area! Dr. Wayne Carson and party hosts Dub and Val Stocker.

O n September 20, ACH celebrated the completion of renovations to the Rees-Jones Family Residential Building. The building was dedicated in honor of the Rees-Jones Family and Foundation and their generous contribution to the Wichita Street Project. The highlight of the event was Sara Cuske, a former client of Families Together, who shared with everyone how the program helped her and her daughter Bella stay together and get back on their feet. The Families Together clients moved in a few short weeks later, with tears of joy in their eyes. In January, the Rees-Jones Building will welcome its other occupants from the LIFE Project (Learning Independence from Experience). Mr. and Mrs. Trevor Rees-Jones, T. Hardie, Julie and Glenn Davidson, and Dr. Wayne Carson. the trials and tribulations of a girl trying to make it on her own. After losing her job and months of struggling to pay her rent, Sara received an eviction notice from her apartment manager. She knew she needed help, not just for her but for her infant daughter Bella. Sara and Bella, a family together. During her assessment interview for the Families Together program, we asked Sara one of our favorite questions: “If you were to write a book about your life, what would it be called?” After thinking about it for a minute, Sara came up with “The trials and tribulations of a girl trying to make it on her own”. A few days later Sara moved into the Families Together program. Now she didn’t have to worry about where they would sleep tonight, now she could focus on creating a new life for her and her daughter. Sara worked on her goals of achieving self-sufficiency and residential stability. While in the program, Sara found a full-time job with better hours and better pay. She was able to save up money, and just 10 months after entering the program, Sara had met her goals, found an apartment she could afford, and graduated from the program. She shared her story at the Rees-Jones dedication, thanking everyone for helping her figure out how to do it on her own! Sara receives support from Trevor Rees-Jones during her emotional remarks. /ACHchildandfamily ACH. protecting children. preserving families. since 1915. 5 Home Improvements rebuilding futures for children and families Wichita Street Campus Project update “can you come out and play?” J Goal: $9,500,000 ust $200,000 is now needed to complete this phase of renovations and build the playground in Chesapeake Energy Park!

It’s a place to play and laugh! For the children served by ACH Child and Family Services, a playground is even more. It’s a refuge from abuse or neglect, a worry-free zone, a rare opportunity to just be a kid, or a place to bond with their families.

Nearly 3,000 children and families are served by this nonprofit organization each year. Recent renovations to ACH’s donated Wichita Street Campus have allowed for significant program expansion and new program development. Completion of this phase of renovations calls for a playground in the center of the campus to provide recreational support for the children and families living on campus and those just visiting.

I n April, Victor Mashburn joined the staff of ACH as Chief Development Officer. Victor’s 23+ year fundraising and development career has taken him to Texas Tech University, The University of Iowa, and the University of Texas at Austin before he arrived in Fort Worth, where he directed the development staffs at Texas Ballet Theater and Casa Mañana. Many of his most rewarding fundraising accomplishments were those directly benefiting children, and he is excited to join the staff at ACH Child and Family Services. Victor and his wife Debra are the parents of two grown children and the proud grandparents of five wonderful grandchildren. Victor Mashburn volunteer spotlight J ulie Davidson is a familiar face at ACH. In addition to her service as a board member, she also serves on the Hoot ‘n Holler event committee, and as co-chair of the Home Improvements Campaign for the Wichita Street Campus with her husband Glenn. She also volunteers regularly in the Behavioral Care Program through the Tuesday Night Supper Club. What led you to ACH? I was introduced to ACH by Wayne Carson four years ago. I saw that Behavioral Care needed 16 dinners, one meal a week for 16 weeks. I thought, “I can take on 16 dinners.” So I made the commitment. I got to know the kids and the staff. I saw the relief to the staff when I brought a meal. I saw how committed the staff was; their careers are caring for the kids. And I saw the kids’ faces when I came each week. I’ve been coming every week ever since. Can you describe a moment that stands out to you in your volunteer experience? Hearing “Miss Julie’s here!” when I walk in the door. One little boy even once told me, “Bringing me this hamburger made my day!” What do you find rewarding about volunteering for ACH? The kids, they are so appreciative of EVERY day. They pray for each other…if they’ve had a bad day, for each of them to have a forever home. They have even made me gifts. One child even wrapped up a library book to give to me! What is the most exciting thing you see going on at ACH? The transitional living program for youth, ages 18-21.. So many of those kids become homeless. This program helps them get a job, keep a job, live independently and become productive adults. This program needs to grow and needs support. Why is it important to you to give your time in addition to your resources? There is a hands-on benefit to volunteering. If I am involved, then I can see where the money is going and where the need is. What advice can you give to another volunteer to help him or her have a more enriching experience at ACH? Take initiative to be around the kids and not to be afraid. It is not a sad experience; it is uplifting!
