I was appointed to manage a small youth residential facility east of Memphis named Dogwood Village. I was Marietta Davis Judith Edge young, right out of school, and wasn’t sure what to expect. I Nicholas R. Ehlen had worked and volunteered for years at child welfare and Jack A. Eiferman treatment organizations and in the juvenile justice system. So I knew what the children would be like. But the business of running the center was new to me, and the responsibilities sometimes seemed overwhelming. It seemed as if Joanna Jacobson Rev. Robert Earl Jones Karole Lloyd Mark Medford every day brought a new crisis or some new twist in rules, and it would take a Johnny Pitts lot of time to make sure things were taken care of properly. Ray Pohlman I remember that, but I also remember how much help I had. I had staff who supported me and did what was needed – many of them are Ronnie Randall Pat Ritz still with Youth Villages today. But I also had people in the community such as Michael Rose business leaders, court employees, judges, carpenters and other civic-minded Richard W. Talkov people who saw to me and made sure I was getting the most out of the small reimbursement stream we were getting at the time. It was a great time, and without those who helped me, Youth Villages surely wouldn’t be what it is today. In the Mid-South, our support from individuals, Matthew Tarkenton Scotland Thede David Tyler Patrick Lawler, CEO community and corporate partners is critical. Only with your help can we reach more children. Many years ago, I didn’t know Youth Villages would be what it is today. When I began, I just wanted to help children, and with like-minded folks on my side, we were able to help more every year. Now we have clear evidence that our Evidentiary Family RestorationTM approach is the most effective for our country’s troubled children. With your continued help, I know Youth Villages’ future path will be to help more children and families who need our life-changing care.

Spring 2013 n New Heights n Mid-South 3 Getting Rodney the right things I ntercept family intervention specialists provide services to the family, rather than just to the youth, meeting with families an average of three times weekly and remaining on call 24/7. We tailor services to meet each family’s needs, while measuring treatment progress through ongoing assessment and review. Specialists collaborate with other providers, case workers and courts to formulate a collaborative treatment plan. Small caseloads – four to six families – allow our family intervention specialists to focus on the individual needs of each child and family we serve. The difference was staggering. Even people outside the home noticed the change for the better. Here’s Rodney playing football, sitting in class without disrupting, being respectful to his teachers and his mother. But mom remembers the near decade before this change. “He could go from zero to 10 superquick,” his mother, Kimbella, said. “People told us it was him just being a teenager, or it was just him acting out. But I know Rodney, and it wasn’t him.” Youth Villages Family Intervention Specialist Zaneta Barnett’s first priority was to get Rodney set up with a physician. The family found out Rodney’s bipo- Rodney, left, with his mother, Kimbella.

At 15, he still has issues from time to time, but it’s different – now he’s just being a teenager. “Youth Villages was the best thing that ever happened to him,” Kimbella said. “And I don’t know where I’d be without Youth Villages.” “They are a great family,” Zaneta said. “Once Rodney saw the amount of support for him, he began to hold himself accountable and he’s accomplished a lot in a small amount of time.” M Soup Sunday biggest ever! ore than 50 restaurants and caterers participated in this year’s Soup Sunday event, raising more than $73,000 to benefit Youth Villages’ programs.

Their previous apartment became infested with bed bugs, and they had to dispose of all their bedding. Ashley Furniture provided three twin beds, frames, box springs and mattresses for the family. The Beds for Kids Program provides beds to children of single-parent families who are without. Since 2006, Beds for Kids reports they have provided more than 950 beds to children. A ‘new’ car! Thanks to a generous donation, Bianca, above, through the help of Youth Villages, was able to purchase a much-needed car. Bianca is participating in the YV Scholars program. need information about planning a gift to Youth Villages? Here’s one source!
