Foreword
Most of us, from time to time, take pause to reflect upon those events,
relationships, associations, and experiences that have positively impacted
us as individuals, strengthened or enriched us in some capacity, or somehow
otherwise changed us forevermore. This exercise in reflection is humbling
in that we are keenly reminded of our inter-connectivity to one another, in
every venue of life.
We are pleased to present this Annual Report to our Board of Directors,
staff, business associates, and colleagues as a Special Tribute to the
29,876 individuals we were fortunate to have served and who have,
without question, made lasting impressions upon us all. They have been
our source of inspiration in difficult times, they keep us mission-driven, and
they will always represent the motivation and determination exhibited by
this organization to build and sustain a Community Mental Health-Mental
Retardation System in Kentucky that is second to none.
We are honored to be entrusted with their care.

The Artist | Clay Gerrien
Clay is 27 years old and loves going to the movies, the mall, and out to eat. He is known as
someone who loves to make others laugh.
Clay primarily paints and draws in a post-impressionistic style, with images of serene
landscapes, including rolling hills and crisp lakes. Clay has participated in many group shows
and festivals and even had his own show last fall at Alfalfa’s Restaurant, Lexington.
Chairman’s Message
The great seventeenth-century English poet John Milton, reflecting on his
disability in the poem “On His Blindness,” ended the poem with the famous
line, “They also serve who only stand and wait.” I think that most, if not all of
us on the Bluegrass Board, feel as though we are only standing and waiting
as we watch the seemingly unending process of procuring a new Eastern
State Hospital. The celebratory feeling we had after the hospital proposal
made it through the Legislature has been tempered by the waiting since.
We are aware that Mr. Toy’s efforts in that endeavor have been tireless. We
also know that he can expect to be called on for a status report at every
meeting!
We don’t see things as they are...
...we see them as we are.
- Anais Nin

David Webb
However, there have been many other things going on in the past year. The
Board Retreat in January was again successful in bringing the Board and
staff together for an informative and educational event. NAMI’s enthusiastic
presentation was particularly memorable, and that enthusiasm evidently has
continued. The NAMI Walk was a huge success, resulting in it being one of
the biggest first-time fund raisers by any group nationally.
The NAMI group spoke highly of the new Recovery Mall at Eastern State
Hospital. The Board recently had the opportunity to tour the Mall, and
it is truly an impressive facility. The physical surroundings alone should
contribute to the new focus on the recovery model.
Numerous other activities have taken place in the past year. Staff salary
increases have placed them in more competitive pay ranges. There has been
a continued exchange focus with the International Mental Health Leadership
Forum. Our partnerships with our sister centers continue via Bluegrass
New Directions, work and implementation design on the Electronic Medical
Record project is ongoing, and the unique Jail Triage Program continues to
expand and receive much justified national attention.
In conclusion, I want to personally express my sincere thanks to every
person serving in any capacity throughout our seventeen counties. It is your
professionalism and dedication to those you serve that continue to make this
organization successful.

We Appreciate Our Board of Directors
2006 Jack B. Stith Community Service Award
2006 Dorothy A. Miller Award
This year’s recipient of the Jack B. Stith Community Service Award is the Kroger of Harrodsburg.
Scott Gould has been selected as the recipient of the 2006 Dorothy A. Miller Award for Outstanding Board
Member. Scott is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and holds a Degree in Business
and Finance, and a Master’s degree from the University of Kentucky in Rehabilitation Counseling.
The Harrodsburg Kroger has a long history of partnership with the Board in an effort to serve the people of
Mercer County. For many years they have made significant contributions to the Board’s programs in the area.
These contributions include supplying all the turkeys for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner, which serves a
crowd of over 300 people, and providing bread and bakery products for the Board’s treatment programs in the
county.
He is currently a Case Manager with Eckman-Freeman and Associates. Prior to his current position he worked
as a house parent and farm manager at Quest Farm.
Scott has a strong interest and talent in helping and advocating for people with disabilities, and he strives to
make a difference in the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of clients and families.
The Kroger management in Harrodsburg has a practice of making special efforts to appropriately employ
people who are disabled. They also participate in charitable efforts to feed low-income families, especially
around the holidays, and they assist the Mercer County Humane Society.
Scott met his wife, Sharon, while they were both volunteering at the Rainbow Respite Program (a program that
serves adults and children with mental and physical disabilities). His favorite pastime is spending time with his
daughter Gretchen; however, he also likes to garden, golf, fish, and hunt. He is an active member of his church
and is the President of the Quest Farm Board of Directors.
It is especially impressive that these efforts are carried out quietly and without any attempt to gain recognition
from their actions. These generous and thoughtful responses have clearly identified Kroger as an excellent
corporate citizen in the Mercer County community and a solid friend to community mental health services.
Their generosity and thoughtfulness are greatly appreciated.
Scott Gould
Scott is always willing and eager to help in any endeavor to better the lives of individuals with mental retardation
and developmental disabilities. He is active on the Bluegrass Guardianship Committee and serves as guardian
for two clients. He visits with them regularly, takes them to doctors appointments and special outings, and
assists these individuals in planning for and making purchases for their homes.
Scott has been a member of the Bluegrass Board for three years and serves on the Finance and Mental
Retardation Advisory Committees. He is an excellent community leader, a wonderful person, and a fine
representative of our volunteer Board.

A Message from the
President and CEO
I suppose we all have had moments in our lives when a particular signal
event or circumstance created a lasting impression. Some of these likely
involve sensory perceptions. The incredible expanse and beauty of the
Grand Canyon, one’s first glimpse of the ocean and the freshness of the sea
air, the Jefferson Memorial and the images that are conjured of wisdom and
statesmanship, are perhaps a few of the things you share with me as having
created a lasting impression.
Joseph A. Toy
By far, however, the most vivid and exquisite impressions are those created
by the people we meet and interact with. I find myself often mentioning
individuals such as Walter Gattis, Fay Friedman, Jack Stith, and Irene
Nooe, all former Board Members. I think of them and quote them often. The
impressions they made upon me will last a lifetime. I suggest that the best
any of us can ever hope for is that we conduct ourselves in a fashion that
creates lasting, positive impressions on those with whom we associate.
I can think of no greater tribute to any one of us than to have those we serve
have a lasting and positive impression of our efforts. This is never something
that we can orchestrate, and we know it is never easy. Our challenge is to
keep trying in spite of the difficulty of the task.
Bluegrass is blessed with many fine associates. I am constantly encouraged
and impressed by the quality of our staff, and the dedication of our Board. I
know we make differences in peoples’ lives every day. I also know that we
can never be satisfied, and we are constantly looking for ways to have an
even greater positive impact on peoples’ lives.
20
Best wishes and heartfelt thanks to each of you who define Bluegrass as an
excellent organization. For many reasons and through many experiences,
I can proudly say that Bluegrass has made a lasting and very positive
impression on me. I trust this sentiment is shared by many who read this
Annual Report. Our charge is to continue this tradition, and I have every
confidence that the future will hold many opportunities for our continued fine
efforts.

A Visitor from the United Kingdom
A Visitor from the United Kingdom
“comprehensive care” centres, the diverse and holistic approach of the
clinicians, particularly in the treatment of co-occurring disorders, and I
particularly enjoyed the Therapeutic Rehab Programmes (TRPs) for severe
and persistent mentally ill clients, which is the group of clients I work with
back home.
My name is Dean Burgess, and I am a senior nurse
working in mental health services in England. It
was at the end of a meeting in April 2005 when
our American visitor, Kelley Gannon, asked me
if I was interested in coming over to Kentucky
for a three month secondment to experience
mental health services there. I therefore set off
on July 29th, 2005, flying from Manchester Airport
to Newark and then on to Lexington. Being an
infrequent traveler, I approached the trip with a combination of excitement
and apprehension and was very pleased to see the smiling face of Kelley
waiting for me at Bluegrass Airport.
22
That evening I met Joe Toy, Art Shechet, and Shannon Ware before being
taken on to my accommodation on Maple Leaf Drive. This was the start of
ten weeks of faultless hospitality, and I really must begin by thanking the
staff of Bluegrass Mental Health-Mental Retardation Board, Inc., for their
friendship, support, and openness, which allowed me a real insight not just
into the way mental health services work in the Bluegrass area, but also how
you folks live over there!
My first two weeks involved spending time with each of the “HUB” managers
and having a look at the range of community programs provided in the
different counties. I was impressed by the multiple use of buildings in the
I met so many people and was exposed to so many different services in
those first two weeks that one employee jokingly said that I had probably
seen more of the Bluegrass services in two weeks than most people get
to see ever! The six “HUB” leaders, Kelley Gannon, Stephen Applegate,
George Keifer, Delmer Odell, David Hanna, and Cay Shawler, were all keen
to give me a real insight into their services, and although character-wise they
were all very different, I enjoyed my time immensely with each of them.
I was then fortunate enough to spend a large period of time based at
Eastern State Hospital and am indebted to Tricia Salyer and Mike Daniluk
for looking after me and being open and honest enough to give me a real
insight into the running of a large state psychiatric hospital. The hospital itself
is obviously very old and in dire need of replacement with a modern facility
more conducive with modern psychiatry.
(continued)
In spite of this I found the vast majority of hospital staff to be approachable,
friendly, and motivated to provide the best level of care for their clients.
I was impressed with the level of services provided in what were often
“dreary” looking wards. I was particularly impressed in the plans to develop
a “treatment mall” and was able to sit in some of the meetings about this
and offer some insights into our system. I was able to spend time in some of
the wards, acute admissions, and rehabilitation and sit in with some of the
group sessions provided. I was impressed by the range of group activities,
particularly those provided in the acute wards. I particularly enjoyed the
time I spent with staff and clients in the Kennedy Center, where again I
encountered a group of energetic and enthusiastic staff. I also spent time
with an ARNP, and it was pleasing to see how autonomous their role is with
regard to admitting and discharging clients and prescribing medication.
Towards the end of my stay in Kentucky I was able to go back and spend
some more time in a few of the community services I had visited earlier,
and particularly enjoyed going back to two of the TRPs, where I learned
more about “recovery” and was entertained by a client drama group who
specialize in mental health issues. I even got to appear in the Mayor of
Richmond’s TV show! I also got to spend some time with the local NAMI
group and felt privileged to spend time with such an energetic and committed
group of individuals. I also enjoyed some time with Steve Dye and the staff
of the Therapeutic Foster Care Program. We went out to meet some foster
parents. Before I left I also managed to spend half a day with Randy Hignite
and the Substance Abuse Team, which I again enjoyed.
23
Painting by: Blake
In summary, wherever I visited I was welcomed by staff and clients alike.
I have learned a lot about the services in Kentucky. Socially I have been
treated like royalty, the highlights being a trip to New York, watching my very
first college football game, and learning all about “tailgating.” Thanks all of
you for making my experience such a memorable one. I will never forget
you.

Clinical Leadership Committee |
New Name, New Focus
Partnerships
Bluegrass | 4 Rivers |Communicare
The Professional Staff Organization (PSO) was first established in 1993 as
a required element for accreditation with JCAHO. The participants represent
some of the most experienced clinicians across the organization, who set
and maintain clinical standards and clinical practice guidelines. In the past
year this body has transformed itself to further address clinical excellence
and to further promote a higher standard of care.
Our Board continues to expand its partnerships with our sister Centers around the state. We are proud to
be associated with Communicare, Inc., and Four Rivers Behavioral Healthcare, Inc., in a support capacity
for information systems, customer service, and general business applications. We enjoy a synergistic
relationship wherein all the Centers benefit from collaboration and combined talents as we all work toward
improving our capacity to serve clients.
Among the work completed to date are:
• Development of a more quality-focused tool for evaluating
documentation, also known as Service Review.
• Development and writing of a manual for clinical policies and
procedures.
• Development of an annual membership meeting, which served as a
place for region-wide networking, updates on clinical developments,
and training. The first meeting at the Marriott had an attendance of
about 60 in 1995, and most recently the 2005 meeting at Embassy
Suites had an attendance of 150 clinicians.
The Committee’s new name, Clinical Leadership Committee (CLC), reflects
the mission and charge for members to demonstrate a commitment to
ongoing clinical development for the whole of Bluegrass. The professional
life of the clinician is enriched through valuable training, effective policy
development, and implementation of evidence-based protocols.
24
The future of the CLC will be a viable and exciting journey. The current fiscal
year will see the implementation of two more evidence-based practices,
adding to the lineup of Evidence-Based Protocols already installed. The
annual training will continue to offer more clinically relevant material on
an annual basis such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and treatment
planning.

We look forward to the growing impact that CLC can and will have on clinical

Facilities Update
Bluegrass Regional MH-MR Board is proud to showcase its newest facility
in Lincoln County. The office has 7500 square feet, which incorporates
Outpatient Services, Children Services, Impact, and combined Therapeutic
Rehabilitation Programs from both Lincoln and Garrard Counties. Each
program is housed within its own suite, making up the entire building. The
facility is located on Frontier Boulevard in the newest business development
in Lincoln County.
26
Board Programs took occupancy in February 2006. The new modern space
affords opportunities to offer more services on site and utilize our team of
outstanding clinicians and support staff in ways that benefit our clients the
most.
Connections | ARC Transition Staff
Painting by: Clay
In mid-September 2005, the Board was asked to assume responsibility
for the care of clients receiving services from ARC of the Bluegrass.
This program provided residential, community habilitation, and case
management services to adults with mental retardation/developmental
disabilities (MR/DD) in the Lexington area. The request encompassed
the provision of residential support to 38 individuals, day programming for
nearly 40, and case management for 42. As the ARC program was closing
and services would no longer exist, those supported would immediately be
without homes, day programs, or case management. Further, staff would
immediately be unemployed. The Board agreed to take responsibility for the
provision of ongoing supports, and the Connections program took the lead
in this venture. Due to the immediate closure, a slow transition plan was not
an option. All of the responsibilities for care were assumed by the Board on
September 16, 2005 – an emergency effort implemented within a few days
of notification.
Through the joint efforts and diligent, hard work of staff in many departments
of the Board – Finance, Administration, Environment of Care/Facilities
Management, Purchasing, Human Resources, Information Systems, and
Eastern State Hospital – the expansion was a success. Four staffed
residences, two group homes, and a 15-unit apartment program were
added to the Connections residential program. Two community habilitation
programs, “Minds Wide Open” and “The Written Word,” with focuses on
artistic expression and literacy, were transitioned. Responsibility for the
entire case management caseload was also assumed.
The Connections program now provides supports to more than 140 clients,
primarily within the Supports for Community Living waiver program. The
residential department includes 22 staffed residences, three group homes,
and an apartment program. The community habilitation department now has
three programs, serving 83 individuals, focusing on community integration,
job readiness, artistic expression, and literacy. The case management
department now supports 119 individuals.
The overall organization of the Board’s MR/DD program has since been
restructured, in an effort to further integrate all aspects of services
throughout the region and manage the continued growth of the programs.
This restructuring will assist in the ongoing efforts to ensure the highest
quality of supports in all areas of MR/DD services.
NAMI 2006 | Lasting Impressions “Quest to Be the Best”
NAMI Walks for the Mind of America - 2005
On October 8th, 2005, NAMI Lexington made the NAMI walk a statewide
event, inviting participants from across the Commonwealth.
Bluegrass Regional MH-MR Board was extremely instrumental in the overall
success of the WALK, providing presenting sponsorship, developing support
through KARP, and region-wide participation. This participation garnered
phenomenal results, with $91,957.00 total raised. Bluegrass won the
awards in fundraising and participation, bringing 261 walkers and, including
sponsorship, raising $20,158.05! The WALK went from 149 participants to
1050 in one year! The sight of all those people walking and coming together
for Mental Health, indeed, left a Lasting Impression.

We are all too familiar with the impressions of mental illness in our society,
just as we are all too familiar with the impressions of starving children in
this and other countries. Many times we are overwhelmed with the negative
images and outcomes of system failure...like in the case of Hurricane
Katrina’s aftermath. We get the occasional story of outstanding heroics or
humanitarian effort in these instances, but we rarely get the story of the
everyday, small victories or the effort it takes for there to be slow, steady,
one-foot-in-front-of-the-other progress. Those are the stories that NAMI
Lexington and Bluegrass are striving to tell as we work in a collective and
committed way toward a better future for the individuals in our region with
serious and persistent mental illness.
This past year, for us, has been memorable in many ways, not all of them
headline-grabbing or show-stopping, yet–make no mistake–this has been a
year of slow and steady progress toward many of our goals to help create,
with Bluegrass, the best system of care in Kentucky. NAMI Lexington believes
we are closer than ever to being able to replace Eastern State Hospital with
a new recovery and rehabilitation inspired treatment campus. We are certain
the day we put the shovels in the ground and the dream becomes a reality
will leave a lasting impression, not only on the present but on the future. We
will never forget the day we opened the Faye Morton Consumer and Family
Center, Sunday, February 12, 2006...a lasting impression. We will never
forget the bright eyes, confusion, and hope we experienced on the first day
the Recovery Mall was opened, Monday, May 1, 2006...a lasting impression.
We will never forget looking out over the 1050 walkers who came together
from across our Commonwealth for the common goal of raising awareness
of mental health issues in our state, on Saturday, October 8, 2006...a lasting
impression.
We are experiencing all of this steady, forward-motion progress with dayto-day hard work, oftentimes interspersed with setbacks, compromise, and
negotiation: an experience much like that of negotiating the terrain of having
a serious persistent illness. Our achievements and memorable moments,
our “quest to be the best,” will be dedicated to the people who so bravely
soldier on despite many hardships and sometimes unimaginable obstacles,
to these individuals, who have left a lasting impression on the heart and soul
of our organizations and who propel us toward a better way.

The Faye Morton Consumer and Family Center
The Recovery Mall
The Recovery Mall at Eastern State Hospital opened on May 1, 2006, after
over one year in development. Staff and consumer work groups spent
countless hours developing new treatment strategies and creating a pleasing
environment. The Recovery Mall employs a recovery and rehabilitation
model designed to help people change, grow, and recover from the
effects of mental illness. All programming in the mall assures that persons
have the opportunity to acquire skills and maintain supports necessary for
them to live successfully in the community after their hospitalization. The
mall offers an environment that is as “normal” as possible in a hospital
setting. It is open each weekday from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and from 1:00
to 4:00 p.m. The facility is located on the ground floor of the Wendell
Building, and encompasses over 35,000 square feet. Consumer artwork is
featured throughout the mall.
On February 12, 2006, at Eastern State Hospital, marked the opening and
dedication of the Faye Morton Consumer and Family Center took place.
This Center is part of the new Recovery Mall at the hospital. The Center
offers a variety of The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) groups
such as the “Family to Family” program, which offers support and education
to family members of individuals living with a mental illness. In addition, the
Center provides inpatient services during Recovery Mall hours. Other groups
include “NAMI-Care” and “In Our Own Voice” (consumer support groups).
NAMI-Lexington has a beautifully decorated office in the Center, where they
provide support and literature to consumers and family members.
Ms. Faye Morton is the current President of NAMI-Lexington and has
dedicated much of her life to supporting family members and consumers of
mental health services. Her hard work and dedication is an inspiration to all.
Faye, along with Kelley Gunning and Valerie Mudd, were instrumental in the
planning of the Recovery Mall and have embraced a collaborative approach
to developing “state of the art” mental health services in the Region. Faye
has a trademark saying that epitomizes this belief: “I just want us all to be
our best!”
30
Recovery Mall Programs:
All Mall programs are evidence-based and consistent with the psychiatric
rehabilitation philosophy. Over 60 multidisciplinary staff participate in
providing services, and about 75 different groups and activities are offered,
totaling well over 300 hours of programming each week. Each patient
develops their personalized mall schedule with the assistance of a staff
member assigned as their Recovery Coach.
The opening of the Faye Morton Consumer and Family Center was
commemorated with an open house, which was well attended by consumers,
family members, state officials, and employees. Joseph A. Toy, President/
CEO, presented Faye with a plaque dedicating the Center. After the
ceremony, visitors were allowed to tour the new Recovery Mall and receive
information about the recovery-based approach to care.
Mall program areas include:
• The Welcome Center is the public entrance into the Mall area. Four
interview rooms are available to provide private space for staff members to
meet with persons and/or families. Mall administrative offices are located in
this area.
• The Resource Center (Library) offers print and media resources
and work readiness programming. GED preparation, literacy coaching
and pre-employment skills training are provided. Also available are books,
magazines, newspapers, and music, as well as professional resources for
staff.
Painting by: Clay
• The Leisure Center has activities designed to enhance social
functioning and productive use of leisure time. There is a craft area, pool
tables, TV/movie area, and large table games. An adjacent courtyard offers
daily outside breaks. Sports-oriented activities are available in the nearby
gymnasium.
31
• The Faye Morton Consumer and Family Center contains the NAMI
(National Alliance on Mental Illness) office and peer support program. The
Consumer Leadership Council meets here. Mall orientation and music
therapy groups are also provided.
• The Learning Center is the location for most of the educational
programming. Drug and alcohol education, illness management, recovery
planning, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-based survival skills, community
resources, managing emotions, and medication education are just a few of
the topics. A “Chill Out” room is available as a place to relax.

JCAHO Visit 2006
In August 2005, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations (JCAHO) sent four surveyors for five days to evaluate our
services. The Joint Commission is an accrediting body whose purpose
is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the
public through the provision of health care accreditation. Receiving JCAHO
accreditation and its gold seal says that our organization is meeting over 300
behavioral healthcare standards designed to address the quality and safety
of our clients.
For this survey, JCAHO took a different direction in their survey. In addition
to reviewing policies and procedures and meeting with management and
staff, they also identified clinical service groups and systems, and “traced”
them throughout the organization. That meant they took randomly selected
cases and looked at all the different services we provided to each client
and the environment in which those services were delivered. The surveyors
talked with staff and consumers about care and treatment. Consumers
shared their stories and opinions of the services we provide and expressed
overwhelming satisfaction with the treatment and treatment providers.
Bluegrass staff spoke about their day-to-day activities and how they fit into
the organization.

...it is a success to be one.
- Charles Horton Cooley
The surveyors continuously stated that Bluegrass staff are some of the most
qualified, committed, and dedicated they had seen throughout the country.
At the end of the week, they said that Bluegrass was a, “cutting edge”
organization – “a leader in the field.”
Congratulations to everyone who
made this survey a success!

Consumers Respond
At Bluegrass, our consumers are the heart of our business, and their opinions
are extremely important to us. Throughout the year, we survey consumers
and their families to find out how they rate our services.
The surveys are valid and reliable tools which are used nationwide. They
were developed in participation with consumers to focus on things that
are important to them. Using these survey tools, we gather information in
areas such as access to services, participation in treatment, the quality and
appropriateness of treatment, and outcome. This information helps us in our
continuous quest to improve the services we offer to consumers.

Each respondent is given an opportunity to
give us a narrative and overview regarding
their experiences with our services.
Consumers Report:
“In the past few years I have turned my life around. I have
a stable life with a husband and my own apartment. I have
been out of the crisis unit and out of the hospital. I have
helped with Capital Players. I have come to life. If not for
Capital House staff and Dr. Moran I would not be where I
am today.”

“The staff here at Comp Care have taken me from depression
and wanting to kill myself, not caring about my kids or
family and feeling very alone. They have given me a reason
to get out of bed and try every day. I would not be alive today
if it was not for the staff who never left my side. They have
always been there for me.”
(continued)
“Due to the guidance of my counselor and our determination,
my work on myself as (a person with challenges to overcome)
has been more successful than I knew or even dreamed. I
had bad experiences with therapists and doctors and was
skeptical at first, but I now find myself seeking out those
things that I ran from all my life. I am continuing to grow
instead of slowly dying.”
“The way the therapist and doctor worked together to
achieve maximum results and help my child attain a better
view of herself and life.”
“The doctor and therapist were very concerned about
my child’s behavior and willing to work with family to
understand. The doctor was also helpful in giving samples
for my child. With his father being unemployed at this time
and the mother the only one working this was very helpful.”
“The staff was always there with helpful information with all
aspects of my stay. They also took out time to talk with me
when I asked regardless of what I needed to talk about.”
35
“I really do feel better and am doing much better! I feel like
my life is going to do a lot better especially with my family.
I am truly grateful for the doctor, staff, and counselors.
Everyone understood and made me feel comfortable. May
God bless you all.”
“The staff here at ESH are exceptional in assisting patients.
The environment is conducive to healing and for feeling
secure while overcoming issues in the outside world. Thank
you for all the help.”
“I have learned how I have a whole lifetime ahead of me and
I don’t need to mess my life up.”
“The most helpful thing is that the counselor helped my stepdad and I get along a whole lot better.”

Comprehensive Health and Wellness Program A Huge Success.
Employees who participated in the BFIT 2005 Point Sheet Program were
rewarded for their efforts at a healthy vegetarian and organic breakfast
buffet. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to try new and different foods and
share success stories on their new healthy living style. Eligible employees
received a Bluegrass travel bag and a catalog of prize options depending on
their points. Prize options included fantastic items such as stereo systems,
bicycles, hotel stays, etc.
BFIT
“Eat Smart, Don’t Quit, Play Hard, Be Fit.”
The Board continued to demonstrate its commitment to helping employees
achieve good health by once again supporting the BFIT Wellness Program.
Programming continues to provide initiatives for achieving healthy
lifestyles, setting realistic goals, and rewarding employee participation and
accomplishments.
36
The employee health fair was attended by 320 employees during Employee
Appreciation Month. Employees had the opportunity to get glucose and
cholesterol checks, cardiovascular risk assessments, hearing screenings,
and body mass index assessments. The bloodmobile was available for
donations, and a variety of booths provided information on health-related
topics. Although it was somewhat of a cold October morning, 114 attendees
participated in the BFIT Mile Fun Walk/Run. Each employee walking a mile
received a BFIT t-shirt.
BFIT 2006 kicked off with a slogan competition that produced creative slogan
entries from over 25 units. The ESH Nursing Office provided the winning
slogan of “Eat Smart, Don’t Quit, Play Hard, Be Fit.” The slogan became the
guiding principle of the 2006 BFIT Program.
All Board employees participating in the Board’s health insurance programs
were given an opportunity to earn a one-time premium discount for
completing an online health assessment. Over 300 employees completed the
health assessment in March of 2006 and received information about overall
health risk, body mass index, exercise, smoking, nutrition, and stress. Each
employee received an overall wellness score upon completing the health
assessment and specific tips for improving nutrition and exercise. Eighty
percent (80%) of the Board’s employees were rated as having fair, good, or
excellent health. However, only 15% of employees have proper nutrition, and
45% receive the recommended amount of exercise. These results reinforced
the programming decisions to focus on nutrition and exercise in 2006.
The BFIT spring programming for 2006 included a “Walking for Health”
Contest and a “Biggest Loser” Contest. The response across the Region
was amazing. The programs ran concurrently for six weeks through April and
May with 309 participants. Individual and team participation was encouraged
with 50 walking teams and 33 biggest loser teams. All participants were given

a BFIT water bottle; walkers were also given a pedometer, and biggest loser
participants were also given body tape measures. Prizes were awarded for
top finishers in individual and group categories for both contests. Several
employees commented on the camaraderie established through local team
formation and the advantage of having support in trying to live a healthier
lifestyle.
Spring programming also included access to lipid/glucose profiles provided
locally at several regional sites. Employees were given the opportunity to
get results on total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, blood fats, blood
sugar, and blood pressure at local offices.

Additional programming in 2006 included nutritional informational mailings
and emails. Funds were made available again for units to participate in local
team sporting events or create their own BFIT program challenges. This
year’s Employee Health Fair will include educational seminars, and Medical
Consumerism Seminars will be provided throughout the Region.

One of the more anticipated events is the Bluegrass Iron Chef contest.
Bluegrass employees are known for their cooking abilities and will be
challenged to put their skills to use to create healthy dishes. The event
will conclude during Employee Appreciation Month with one winner being
crowned the Bluegrass Iron Chef.
BFIT participation continues to grow, and many employees have voiced their
appreciation. This program will continue in reinforcing good habits, promoting
better health decisions, and providing educational opportunities for employees.

On February 16th, 2006, the United 874K Coalition, which is named for the
874,000 Kentuckians with a disability, brought together hundreds of people
in the Capitol Rotunda for its annual rally. Together the participants, voices
cheered out to lawmakers, urging them to support adequate funding for
programs that help people with disabilities work and live in the community.
Several legislators were in attendance along with Cabinet for Health and
Family Services Secretary Mark Birdwhistell. Birdwhitstell kicked off the rally
by stating that the state is committed to improving services for persons with
disabilities.
Representative Derrick Graham, Debra Watts and Emily Unthank
38
This year, Bluegrass turned out for the rally in record numbers. Our agency
had over 250 people, representing 23 of our programs, to support the
Coalition’s efforts. Consumers from as far as Powell and Estill Counties
were in attendance to help raise awareness of the needs of people with
disabilities.
Several consumers from the Bluegrass Region volunteered to serve as
Ambassadors to meet one-on-one with legislators from their district. One of
the volunteers, Ms. Debbie Watts from Capital House in Frankfort, met with
State Representative Derrick Graham to share her experiences as a person
living with a disability. She spoke passionately on the benefits of Therapeutic
Rehabilitation Programs and advocated for their continued support.
Bluegrass is very proud of the advocacy work done at this rally by both staff
and consumers. We will continue to tirelessly support the needs and rights
of persons with disabilities.

2006 Bluegrass Consumer Conference
2006 Client Stories | Steve: A Journey of Recovery
In 1987, a small group of Bluegrass staff and consumers from the Frankfort area had an exciting and
interesting idea – to bring together consumers from other parts of the Bluegrass Region for an all-day
educational meeting. With the overwhelming success of this first gathering, it was evident that something
wonderful had begun.
Steve was a resident of Franklin Place Apartments, a complex owned and operated by Bluegrass. He was
having difficulty passing housing inspections, taking his medications as directed, and managing his mood
swings due to bipolar disorder. He was faced with the possibility of being moved into a more restrictive
environment, such as a personal care home.
On May 4th and 5th, the Bluegrass Consumer Conference celebrated its 20th anniversary, hosting over
400 consumers at the Holiday Inn North in Lexington. Mr. Stephen Colley, a consumer from Frankfort, was
elected to serve as this year’s Chair for the event that started in his home county. Mr. Colley remembers
attending the first conference two decades ago and is amazed at how much the conference has grown.
Steve knew that he did not want to move into a more restrictive environment and decided to make some
changes in his life. With the assistance of Housing Support Services and Capital House, Steve began to clean
his apartment, followed a schedule for taking his medications, and learned how to recognize the warning signs
of his bipolar disorder. He started passing housing inspections and his mood began to stabilize. In 2000 he
celebrated the fact that he had not been hospitalized for an entire year.
For eight months, thirty consumers from across the region took part in monthly planning sessions. Mr.
Colley led the meetings at Regional Office with his Co-Chair, Leigh Ann Turner, and Secretary, Marilyn K.
Van Cleave. The Planning Committee’s efforts were supported by Christy Bland, Staff Chair, and Eleisha
Kiefer, Staff Co-Chair.
The theme this year was “Empowerment through Education, Recovery, and Hope;” Ms. Renee Kopache
served as the keynote speaker. Ms. Kopache is currently the Recovery Coordinator for the Hamilton
County Community Mental Health Board in Cincinnati, Ohio. After being diagnosed with a severe mental
illness in 1989, Renee’s path to recovery has led her to becoming an advocate and leader for others with
mental illness. She has participated in numerous recovery projects in Ohio and has done presentations on
recovery throughout the United States. Ms. Kopache is also the Chair of the US Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Association (USPRA) People in Recovery Committee.
42
Ms. Kopache’s keynote address at the conference, “Mental Health Recovery: Overcoming the Disability
and Getting on with Our Lives” was very heartwarming and inspirational. Her willingness to share her own
life experiences was encouraging and empowering to us all. The presentation left us with a sense of hope
that recovery not only can happen – it does happen.
During the opening luncheon, the Executive Committee was pleased to welcome Commissioner John
M. Burt from the Department for Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services. Dr. Burt addressed the
audience regarding the state’s plans to continue its efforts to support and improve mental health services
in Kentucky.
The Conference Committee was also pleased to have the history of the conference presented by Ms.
Connie Price. Over Ms. Price’s career at Bluegrass, she has always been involved in the improvement
of services for the Severely and Persistently Mentally Ill population and was one of the staff who was
responsible for the inception of the conference. With the success of each year, the Consumer Conference
continues to aspire to providing consumers with an educational opportunity where they can learn, grow,
and have a wonderful time together.
In 2001, Steve decided he was ready to live somewhere else and to be more independent. He moved out
of Franklin Place to an apartment closer to restaurants, shops, and a bus stop. He looked in the classifieds,
made phone calls, and visited potential rental properties until he found an apartment. He wanted to prove that
he could do this on his own, by using the skills he learned from case managers, housing specialists, and TRP
staff. Steve flourished in this new setting. He could walk to do his shopping or to see a movie and would have
friends over to watch television.
Steve
He also started going to a psycho-educational group at Capital House which focused on healthy lifestyles. He
was one of several members of the TRP who had diabetes as well as a mental illness. When a staff nurse from
Capital House took him for a routine medical exam, he was informed that unless he lost weight and started
eating properly his health would be in serious danger. Ready to take on another challenge, Steve began to
make drastic changes in his eating habits, and attended the YMCA. Today, Steve is 70 pounds lighter and no
longer requires insulin injections. He continues to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet.
Steve began volunteering at a local animal shelter three days a week and has adopted a cat of his own. He is
a primary performer of the Capital Players, a drama group comprised of individuals who attend Capital House.
He was also the chairperson of the Bluegrass Consumer Conference this year. Steve has certainly shown great
strength and ambition by attaining so many of his goals.

2006 Client Stories | Loretta: Strength and Power
2006 Client Stories | Anita: Never Give Up
Loretta began receiving services from Lincolnview TRP and Fort Logan Comprehensive Care in June of 1995,
where she was diagnosed with Major Depression.
Anita started receiving services from Lincolnview TRP and Fort Logan Comprehensive Care in 1991. She
has faced many struggles over the years but has realized that recovery is something she can attain. She
presented her story to a class at Asbury Theological Seminary in May 2006, stating, “My diagnoses were
bipolar, borderline personality disorder, and I am a recovering drug addict. I was depressed, in a relationship
with domestic violence, and dependent on others to make me feel better and make my life better. I was very
unhappy and blaming others for my problems. I wanted to do better, but I didn’t know how.”
She experienced verbal and occasional physical abuse as a child and domestic violence in a marriage for
thirty-nine years until her husband passed away. She had been battling with mental health issues since 1963,
including several hospitalizations.
Loretta has often referred back to earlier times in her life, describing deep depression and feeling like she was
not a person, just an appendage of someone else. She did not feel free to share her own thoughts and feelings.
After years of being careful about what she said, she became very anxious when talking to others and had lost
most of her self-confidence.
44
Loretta
Loretta’s recovery process took place as a result of her own determination as well as professional support,
including case management, psychiatric care, an outpatient group, which focused on surviving verbal abuse,
and psychiatric rehabilitation through Lincolnview, Windgate, and Frontier TRPs. When staff first started
challenging Loretta to develop a rehabilitation goal outside of TRP, she would become nervous, stating that
“things are O.K. the way they are.” However, her desire to help other people with mental health issues soon
became more powerful than her fear. After sharing many times, “I would like to be there for someone who
feels like I have felt in the past,” staff helped her identify that she wanted to be an advocate. Loretta’s first
step was going to Frankfort to rally in the Rotunda with other staff and consumers from our agency. She then
participated in the Consumer Leadership Academy. She investigated advocacy groups on the Internet. Finally,
she and her daughter started the local NAMI chapter for Lincoln and Garrard Counties. She recently went with
NAMI Lexington to Washington, D.C., to advocate for issues, including better transportation, housing, and legal
services, as well as to fight against the stigma of mental illness.
Anita received psychiatric care and attended many groups at Lincolnview, Windgate, and Frontier TRPs, and
outpatient services, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Domestic Violence. She worked individually
with several therapists and a psychiatric nurse, who helped her keep track of all of her specialists and
appointments when she was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, a very complex, debilitating lung disease. When staff
challenged her to choose a psychiatric rehabilitation goal, she mentioned going back to school, but did not
think it would happen. She said, “I didn’t want to leave TRP, and I didn’t think I was smart enough, I was afraid
to fail.” However, she did attend the National Business College, and her perspective has changed: “If we give
up every time we fail, we would never try. We have to face the fact that failure is part of life. If we quit living
because of failure, we quit living totally.” Today, Anita has nearly completed a two year degree at the National
Business College and has a GPA of 3.76.
Anita
For Loretta, recovery means having a voice and speaking up for others instead of feeling powerless. In her
words, it is “being in control of what I say and think, instead of depending on others. I feel more self-confident.
Before I didn’t want to be around people; now I love being around people.”

2006 Client Stories | Sonya: Gaining Independence
2006 Client Stories | Harold: An Asset to the Community
When Sonya was eight years old, her mother died unexpectedly. Sonya was placed with relatives, but began
to have behavioral problems within the year. Mental health treatment was sought, but Sonya’s behaviors were
so severe that she experienced her first psychiatric hospitalization at eight years of age. Sonya continued to
receive mental health treatment throughout her childhood, with various placements in facilities and hospitals.
She was also diagnosed with mental retardation. Her behavior issues continued to be so severe that she could
not attend school full-time, due to disruptiveness. By age 13, she had become self-injurious.
Harold had his first manic episode at the age of 19 and has been managing his bipolar illness for the past 23
years. At age 19 he was jailed and then taken to St. Joseph Hospital and then to Eastern State Hospital. Over
the course of his life he has had nine hospitalizations. He was stabilized with medications and returned home.
He did well for two years; however, he then experienced several relapses and was readmitted to Eastern State
Hospital on numerous occasions. Harold states that he is grateful that they have places like Eastern State
Hospital, where people who have mental illness can get the help that they need..
Sonya was admitted to Eastern State Hospital in 1982, at age 18, where she remained for nearly 20 years.
The staff of the Gragg 2 unit began a focused effort to work closely with Sonya on the skills she would need
to be successful in a community placement.
When Harold experiences a manic episode, he cannot sleep, his thoughts race, and he thinks he is invincible.
During these phases he proclaims that he is very dangerous, hyperactive, and an out-of-control person. In
1986, he was discharged to one of two boarding homes that he lived in for about one and a half years. During
this time, he attended Day Treatment in Lexington, while working part-time at the Vocational Rehab Nail
Factory. After graduating from Day Treatment in 1986, he was referred to Comp Care on Mechanic Street.
In early 2001, the Connections program and Eastern State Hospital began an intensive transition plan to assist
Sonya in moving to a staffed residence in the community. With intensive support from both programs, the
transition was complete within three months. After her first night in her new home, Sonya expressed her sheer
joy at all of the freedoms afforded there, freedoms most people take for granted.
Harold lived at the Supervised Apartment Program for three years. He describes it as “a wonderful program,
you get so much support there. It also gives you the tools to stay out of the hospital.” He began working at
Kroger’s and moved into his own apartment. Harold had attended outpatient treatment at the Continuing Care
Clinic since 1986, where he received treatment from a variety of physicians and therapists. His current therapist
began working with him at Eastern State Hospital and recently at the Lexington Comp Care Center in October
2004. She states that she considers it a privilege working with Harold throughout the years.
Sonya has now lived successfully in a community-staffed residence through the Connections program for more
than five years. She receives ongoing psychiatric support at the Continuing Care program of the Board, and
all other supports from Connections.
Sonya
46
When recently asked how she feels about her new life, Sonya continues to say she loves the “freedom” and
the ability to go places that she chooses. Sonya works hard every day at continuing the success she has
experienced. The cooperative efforts of these Bluegrass programs assisted her, and continue to assist her on
this life journey.
Harold
Harold considers himself a success story in the Continuing Care Clinic. He is overcoming severe anxiety and
tries to always think positively. He has worked hard to make his life better. He has worked at Kroger for 16
years and been married for 7 years. Harold attributes his wife to making his life so wonderful and is always
thankful for her continuing support. Harold saved his money and now lives in a two-bedroom apartment and
just recently purchased a car.
In Harold’s own words, he states, “I am now a social butterfly and love being around people. I have come a
million miles. I love life; I enjoy doing things for other people. Your life is in your hands and you have to work to
overcome the illness. Never give up.”
“My manic phases and hospitalizations have been rough, but I have learned you have to take responsibility for
your own life. I am responsible at my job—always on time, I’m neat and clean, and I get my work done. I am
an asset to the community and want to be an inspiration to others. Comp Care has given me a lot of support. I
always thought that everyone was better than me and I felt uncomfortable being around them, but since I have
done the recovery work I have learned that I am a wonderful person.”
