Dear Friends,
This past year has been an important period of accomplishment
for FCA, and this is reflected in this year’s annual report. It has
also been a time to plan for our future. Beginning in February,
we started an ambitious strategic planning process to set a
framework for agency programming and operations over the
next three years. It was our intention to make this planning
as inclusive as possible with the participation of all of FCA’s
stakeholders including staff, Board, funders, service partners and
clients. Thirteen focus groups and almost one hundred and fifty
client surveys were utilized to gather feedback regarding what
key areas the agency needed to focus on in the next three years. The areas that were identified were:
increasing Agency visibility in the community, increasing funding for programs; increasing opportunities
for volunteer involvement, clarifying our direction regarding future programs and services, increasing
resources directed toward staff recruitment, retention and training; and improving our infrastructure
and clarifying our space needs. This strategic plan, which will be reviewed annually, will enable FCA to
continue to provide the highest level of professional human services to the clients we serve.
Some other important highlights from this past year include:
•Reaccreditation of our Russian adoption services, with FCA now one of only twelve American
agencies approved to work in Russia. Effective new leadership for the Adoption Program and
Adoption Foundation with continued positive integration of Adoption Program and Adoption
Foundation efforts.
•Reorganization of the Family Support and Intensive In-home Child and Adolescent Psychiatric
Services programs, now under new leadership, which has led to greater clarity in the delivery
of these important services and an expansion in the number of at-risk children served.
•New community partners, including Norwalk Community College, which is now home to FCA’s
afterschool program for middle school aged children from Norwalk.
Robert F. Cashel,
FCA President & CEO
•Expansion of our Board of Directors with the addition of seven new Board members that has
added expertise in the areas of fundraising, business and law.
Advisory Board
•Establishment of new leadership positions in the Finance and Development departments to
strengthen our ability to meet FCA’s fiscal management and volunteer involvement objectives.

volunteers, about why you give your time and financial support to FCA. Through your involvement, you are
true partners in our efforts to improve the lives of the individuals, children and families who need our help.

Adoption
...creating
permanency
for children
Joining with a family in their journey to adopt is a rich and rewarding
experience. Social workers partner with prospective families as they go
through their adoption process, preparing them to be parents, helping
them cope with the wait for their child by connecting them with other
adoptive families, and rejoicing with them on the day of their child’s arrival.
The placement of a child with a permanent and loving family is a source
of joy for all.
“We count ourselves lucky to be part of the FCA family.
From the application process to traveling to China and
returning with our daughter, FCA staff has been exceptional.
Our experience was a truly pleasurable and rewarding one.”
– Sharon and Steve Rowley
FCA Adoptive Parents
Over 500 families served
“Our experience with FCA has been priceless. We owe our
family to their hard working staff.”
– Vae Champagne and Jim Mecca
FCA Adoptive Parents
“Once you have seen the potential in a child realized, who
might not otherwise be given a chance, you have no choice
but to help and give of yourself.”

Services
for Seniors
...safety,
security and
independence
at home
The senior years can be especially
challenging for the elderly as well
as their families as they wrestle with
health care issues, a senior’s desire to
remain independent, and the concerns
of loved ones for their safety and
security. FCA’s home-care services
offer a continuum of professional,
compassionate care, giving seniors
and their families peace of mind.
1,800 individuals
connected to Lifeline,
Connecticut’s
emergency response system
“FCA is an organization that people can depend on –
now and in the future. I support FCA because of its

“We have been pleased to support FCA’s programs
because FCA is always striving to improve its
performance and incorporate best practices – whether
for a youth development program for girls or home
repair program for seniors. FCA is a learning organization,
and this is part of their organizational culture.”

Counseling
...skilled support services
for life’s challenges
32 children with mental illness
served through IICAPS
(Intensive In-home Child &
Adolescent Psychiatric Services)
Understanding the history, cultural background, and family
dynamics helps the therapists connect with those in need
on an individual, family or group basis. FCA’s clinical staff
is comprised of trained professionals with a diverse
set of clinical expertise in areas such as marriage and
family counseling, substance abuse, art therapy, anger
management and play therapy. One program, Project
REWARD, is a holistic substance abuse program for women
that addresses issues of sobriety, parenting, and self-care.
63 women and 30 of their
children supported in
Project REWARD’s

“The Tudor Foundation supports FCA, a critical resource in
our community, because of the many programs it offers
to individuals from infancy through their senior years.”
– The Tudor Foundation
“My involvement with FCA spans over 15 years, and during that time the
needs of our community have greatly increased. FCA has always been at
the forefront of providing supportive programs to those in need and has
made significant differences in improving the lives of children and families.
I can’t think of a more deserving organization to generously support.”
– Kathy Murphy

Homeless
Services
...a safe haven
Homelessness is caused by a variety of reasons often beginning with untreated
mental illness which can lead to unemployment, isolation, and eventually losing
one’s home. With its non-structured atmosphere, Community Connections is the
first step toward engaging clients in needed treatment and rehabilitation. We
support individuals in strengthening themselves to make the changes necessary
to better their lives.
“We can all make a difference,
even in a small way. FCA makes
a difference on a daily basis in
our community; its broad range
of programs helps people of all
ages with a myriad of problems.
There are so many needs right in
our own backyard and yet each
of us can help, even in a small
way, to make someone’s life a
little better. It’s hard to make a
difference in the world today but
with FCA so close to home, you
can see the results right away.”
– Sharon Sullivan
FCA Board Member
782 people served through our
drop-in center and outreach
programs that support and

“As a donor, an important criterion for me in supporting an
organization is to know how that organization spends its
money. With FCA, I know with certainty that my gifts go
where they are needed – to people and programs.”

...safe, stable, loving homes
FCA provides specialized foster care placement for children who have
therapeutic and medically complex issues and are referred by the
Department of Children and Families. Foster parents receive support,
guidance, and on-going training by FCA staff to help children adjust to
their new home environments. Our foster parents have special gifts in
understanding, loving, and supporting the children placed in their care.

toward a mutual goal is truly rewarding.”
– Michaela Snyder

“The Department of Children and Families and Family &
Children’s Agency have always worked to maintain a close
and collaborative relationship for the children and families
that we jointly serve. In today’s society, it is becoming
increasingly clear how complex and intergenerational
problems have evolved and are sustained within families.
It is even more clear that we must continue to strive toward
open communication and supporting each other together
as partners for today and the future. We look forward to
our continued efforts with FCA.”

“The question is not why I
volunteer; the question is, as a
mother, how can I not? FCA is
one of the few places where
you KNOW you are making a
difference from day one. You can
see it in the eyes of the clients.”
– Ana Goizueta
FCA Board Member
Family
Support
…learning
to become
better parents
Helping parents helps children.
FCA’s prevention and intervention
programs give guidance and support
to parents and their children. The staff
at FCA works closely with families
to identify needs and encourage them
in their efforts. Through home visits,
parent education, and community
referrals, we work with parents to find
solutions and develop new skills. These
skills break the negative cycle and
help parents to provide brighter
futures for their children.
