2010 Abbott House Annual Report

ABBOTT HOUSE
Annual Report 2010
OUTREACH
Dear Friends,
Just as it always has, Abbott House embraces change. We are
constantly evaluating our services and adjusting them to better meet the needs of those in our care. We work closely with
foster parents, biological families and sister agencies to ensure
safe transitions. We do our best to keep up with the newest
technology so that our records are accurate and easily accessible. We listen to the families and children who receive our
services and improve upon existing programs. But at the core
of all of these changes is our commitment to changing lives.

One example of how Abbott House adapts to current needs
is through our Bridges to Health Lower Hudson Program—
a new and comprehensive program for families designed to
help with the challenges they are facing and with the objective
of seeking to reduce the amount of time their children spend
in foster care. This program gives families tools to succeed by
offering extra support and access to resources in their communities. We have also opened an intimate home setting in
New York City to care for and help rehabilitate juvenile delinquents. Our trained staff works closely with these young men
each day to help reintegrate them into the community.
In addition, those with developmental disabilities who call
Abbott House their home continue to flourish. Our programs
center on building independence and life-skills, and have
given so many adults with disabilities a chance to grow.

Some of the changes we are implementing may appear small
in the context of all that needs to be done to serve children in
need. At the same time, it is precisely that concern for detail that
has made Abbott House a respected organization in service to
families and children. Every Abbott House program is carefully
designed and managed with the support and safety of our children and people with developmental disabilities in mind.
Helping families is the cornerstone of our work. Thank you for
helping make our work possible.
Warmly,
Claude B. Meyers

CHILDREN & YOUTH
For Children & Teens in Foster Care
Growing up isn’t easy. And growing up in
foster care can be especially difficult. We recognize
the overwhelming challenges facing our foster
care youth today. In response to what may seem
like “the impossible”, we work with them to create
plans and services, tackling each issue as it comes.
Our Campus and Group Home programs
give youth a chance to live in a family setting
with other youth their age while focusing on
what they choose. So often in foster care, youth
do not feel they have control. But these group
settings give residents structure under the careful
supervision of staff while they focus on school,
sports, job training and more.
Services to Expedite Permanency is a program
that works to remove barriers that prevent children
in foster care from reuniting with their families.
Our Preparing Youth for Adulthood program
teaches teens life skills like how to find housing,
apply to college, start a job search, and more.
The Mentoring program gives children in
foster care the unique opportunity to connect
with an adult in a meaningful way. This program
links an adult volunteer with a child in a oneto-one relationship, which can help to improve
school grades, cultivate interest in positive activities and increase self-esteem.
Our work is extensive and relies on a team
approach. Our staff combines their professional
leadership with the readiness of families who
want to heal. Together we create a tapestry of support, guidance and opportunity.

FAMILIES
For Families in Foster Care
Serving hundreds of children in foster care
every day, it is important that we extend our
services into the corners of each community
we serve. Whether that means finding foster
parents for children and teens in New York City
or Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan, Ulster,
Rockland, or Westchester counties; teaching
biological parents skills that will help them reunite with their children throughout lower New
York; holding “family team conferences” in the
city so parents and staff can talk about issues
and progress; providing medical, mental health
and dental care in the Bronx; offering preventive
services to help at-risk families avoid foster care
in Dutchess County; giving newly adoptive parents support to ensure a permanent adoption in
Orange, Ulster, Putnam, Rockland, Dutchess and
Westchester counties; or giving families a second
chance through the Bridges to Health programs
in the New York metropolitan area and Lower
Hudson Valley region.
Our Foster Boarding Home program helps
match children with a caring foster parent. If a
child has special needs, he or she can find a foster
family through our Therapeutic Foster Boarding
Home programs. All foster parents are given 24hour access to support systems so that emergencies can be diffused, questions can be answered,
and families can grow successfully.
Bridges to Health continues to provide support services to children and families in foster
care. Whether it is health care integration, skill
building, planned respite, in-home support or
any of the other family-oriented services, Bridges
to Health remains an important tool in helping
children achieve permanency.
2010 Family Services Highlights
57 children and teens forged meaningful relationships with a mentor
Services to Expedite Permanency helped remove barriers to
reunification for 165 youth – a 20% increase from the previous year

DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED INDIVIDUALS
Dispelling Disabilities
For 19 years, hundreds of
people with developmental
disabilities have called Abbott
House their home. But more
than just shelter, we have welcomed and fostered the talents
and many unique abilities of so
many adults.
Our Self-Advocacy program
gives people with developmental disabilities, or consumers, a
voice. Participants are encouraged to lobby Albany to speak
about issues that are important to them and their peers.
Self-Advocates also learn and fine-tune leadership
skills, team-building skills and participate in job
trainings. Day Habilitation programs offer activities to consumers that embrace their creativity
and recreational skills while building community
awareness.
The Abbott House Special Olympics gives athletes a platform to practice their sport of choice;
to reinforce friendships with current housemates;
and to forge new relationships with peers from
other homes. As an agency, we have many responsibilities for those in our care and feel very
strongly that one of those is to empower persons
with developmental disabilities. The Special
Olympics allows us to do that.
We conscientiously provide around-the-clock
care for each individual in our Services for People
with Developmental Disabilities program. By
treating each individual with dignity and respect,
we help them achieve independence.
105
consumers received direct care
from Abbott House in 2010
2010 SPDD Program Highlights
A total of 16 SPDD residences operated by Abbott House
40 consumers participated in Day Habilitation programs
25 consumers were Self-Advocates
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
More than 100 golfers put on their game face and teed
off at the Elmwood Country Club in White Plains.
The event raised over $70,000; an accomplishment
that would not have been possible without veteran
supporter USI Northeast and the many contributions
of sponsors, vendors and friends.
Naming Abbott House as their 2011
philanthropy, the Business Council of
Westchester’s Rising Stars Alumni group has
taken a serious interest in exposing our youth
to career opportunities in Westchester. Touring
local businesses, youth are learning about ‘what’s
out there’ and how they can become part of it.
Juggling? Check! Synchronized acrobatics? Check!
Barnum & Bailey—think again! It was the Abbott
House ‘Circus of the Kids’ performance. More than 40
youngsters mastered the art of the flying trapeze, highjump rope and other big top stunts. Teaming up with the
performers from Circus of the Kids, Abbott House suited
up for a roaring good time.

Our annual fall fundraiser invited friends and supporters
to discover the innocence and fun of being a “kid at heart”.
Long-time friend and author DeLauné Michel was honored
with the Theodore A. Wilson Award for Outstanding
Community Service for her “Spoken Interludes: Next”
program, which inspires young people (including youth in
foster care at Abbott House) to awaken their imaginations
with the power of creative writing. The Rivertown Heroes
were presented with the Caring Hearts Award for their
ongoing support and advocacy of Abbott House.
For more than 10 years, the Rivertown Heroes
have broken down the wall between children
in foster care and those who are not. And like
the partnership that has blossomed between
us, so will the tree we planted in their honor
at the Hudson Scenic Park at the Irvington
waterfront.
There is no need to remind the
consumers in our SPDD program of
the importance of community service.
With bake sales constantly underway,
our resident bakers sell their goods
for a profit which is then donated to
area charities like the local Humane
Society and Yonkers Animal Shelter.
