FY2012-2013 - Common Ground

Crafting
brighter
futures…
Annual Report 2012-13
Self-determination
The right of individuals to have full power over their own lives,
regardless of the presence of illness or disability. It encompasses
concepts such as free will, civil and human rights, freedom of choice,
independence, self-direction and individual responsibility.
Common Ground is a nonprofit agency dedicated
to helping people move from crisis to hope. For more
than 40 years, the agency has provided the tools –
our 24-hour Resource and Crisis Helpline, youth and family
services, emergency psychiatric services and other programs
throughout Oakland and, most recently, Genesee County –
that empower individuals to craft their own lives and futures
in their own way. Our programs and services are a lifeline for
runaway and homeless youths, families in crisis, victims of crime,
people with mental illness and others in critical situations.
With an annual operating budget of more than $12 million,
Common Ground serves more than 70,000 individuals each year.
The agency is supported in part by state and federal grants, contracts,
individual and corporate contributions, foundation grants,
special events, the Oakland County Community Mental Health
Authority, Genesee Health System and United Way for
Southeastern Michigan. Most of our services are free of
charge and 93% of funds we receive go to direct service.
Dear Friends,
It gives us great pleasure to send you this Annual Report for fiscal year 2012-13.
In the past year we have experienced exciting opportunities as well as challenges.
We moved our crisis related services into a newly refurbished building on the
Oakland County Complex in Pontiac, where people we serve now receive
treatment in a brighter, more welcoming, safe environment.
We became one of four agencies in Southeastern Michigan that came together
to form the Runaway and Homeless Youth Regional Alliance to help young people
Tony Rothschild
in crisis; and due to the success of our Crisis Chat/Text program, we have been
President/ChiefExecutiveOfficer
notified that we have been chosen by Crisis Text Line, Inc., a national organization,
to participate in its texting program, which is expanding services to selected cities
across the country.
Although mental health budgets continue to shrink, we are optimistic about the
future. Since the passage of the Affordable Healthcare Act, we have seen mental
health issues rise to the national forefront and parity between physical
and mental health is now mandated.
Many challenges do remain both locally and across the country, as we see more
young people struggling with mental health issues and more adults and families
struggling to manage the stress in their lives. That’s why Common Ground is
so grateful for your support, because it allows us to continue to be there

Thank you for helping Common Ground help people move from crisis to hope!
Sincerely,

Talented Former GAP Participant
Uses Art, Music for Self-Expression
Martin Jones has a contagious smile, though some may think
he has little to smile about. At age 5, he began losing family
members. Now at age 24, his grandparents, parents and sister
are deceased and he is on his own with no close family.
But Martin is trying not to let his situation get him down. He
is thankful for all the support he has received, feels optimistic
about his future and is serious about his art and music. “Music is
my sanctuary,” he explains, flashing that smile. “And when I create
a painting or sculpture, it makes me feel soulful because every
artist has got to have some soul! I also love to sing and act.”
After losing his mother at age 14, Martin finished high school
in 2008, but living with his father didn’t work out. “I didn’t want
to deal with the abuse and neglect from my father anymore,
so after hearing about it from a friend, I went to live at Covenant
House.” (Covenant House is a non-profit organization that
provides shelter to homeless, runaway and at-risk youth
ages 13-22).
After aging out of Covenant House, Martin came to Common
Ground’s GAP program where he began learning to be
independent. “I learned life skills to live on my own and
got treatment for the trauma that happened to me when
I was 4 years old.”
Common Ground also introduced Martin to Art Therapy, where
art therapists Margaret Sans-Goldstein and Kristen Lambert
recognized his talent for drawing and painting. They encouraged
him to check out The Art Experience in Pontiac, which is a place
to explore creativity in many different forms. He began going
to the Art Experience regularly and as a result, was awarded
the Katie Serewicz Artist’s Scholarship.
One of Martin’s favorite ways to express himself is painting
portraits of entertainers who perform the music he loves. His
works bare striking resemblance to singers Tina Turner, Anita
Baker, Mary J. Blige and others. He created a one-man art
show of his paintings and Oakland County Community
Mental Health Authority (OCCMHA) recently featured the
exhibit at its headquarters in Auburn Hills.
Surrounded by his work, Martin likes to express himself by
painting portraits of the entertainers he loves.
Continuing to face challenges, Martin has aged out of the GAP
Program and is now looking for a permanent place to live and a
job to support himself. His story is evolving and doesn’t fit into
a “lived happily ever after” scenario. Yet, he is hopeful about his
future and determined to reach his full potential.
Martin credits Common Ground with preparing him for the next
phase of his life, which is to live as an independent adult. He
knows there will still be problems, but he’s up for the challenge.
“Because of Common Ground, I have made a good transition
to a mature person. I was blessed to find them.”
“Music is the driving force for him, it reminds him of his family
and is a comfort for him,” Lambert said. “He’s a really talented
young man who hasn’t had an easy life. He just needs a break.”

Passionate Supporters Praise Agency’s Work
in the Community; See Need for Expansion
Deborah and Jerome Moceri are longtime Common Ground
supporters. Deborah, a master’s level psychologist and licensed
professional counselor, has been referring people to Common
Ground since 1991. Jerome, who runs a family-owned, affordable
housing business, joined Common Ground’s Advisory Board at
his wife’s suggestion in 2004, shortly after they were married.
The couple strongly believes in Common Ground’s mission
and the work it does in the community. When Jerome toured
the Sanctuary with Board of Trustees member Kay White and
Common Ground CEO Tony Rothschild a few years back, he
was very impressed by the diversity of the young people in the
program and the goal of reunifying families where possible.
“There is a focus to give troubled kids that temporary separation
from parents that they may need to bring the family together
and if it doesn’t work, teach them life skills. So it’s a lesson of
how not to become a burden but how to stand on their own
two feet and give back. That’s what impressed me about the
Sanctuary program and its sister programs.”
Jerome and Deborah Moceri are longtime Common Ground
supporters and are committed to the agency’s mission. They have
a special passion for programs that help our community’s youth.
Deborah has and continues to use Common Ground as a
resource in her profession. She believes the agency’s work is
important for all ages. “Since 1994 I have physically brought
adults in to Common Ground for psychiatric evaluation and if it
weren’t for this developed rapport, the people would not have
gotten the assistance they needed. I have also utilized Common
Ground for after-hours crisis intervention for children of all ages
so I don’t think it’s an agency geared toward only one specific
age group – and that’s why I think it’s great.”
It’s obvious the Moceris have a passion for the work that
Common Ground does, and both would like to see services
and programs reach a larger audience. Jerome is especially
passionate about youth programs. He’d like to see our youth
programs expanded and more homes like The Sanctuary
added. “I was so impressed with the Sanctuary and other youth
programming that I could see where other pockets of Oakland
County could benefit from the same type of approach.”
Deborah would like to see more coordination of services
between community service agencies. “Because the dollars are
becoming thinner and thinner, I think there should be more
6
collaboration between agencies so that there is no duplication
of services and the dollars are well spent,” she explained.
When asked what they would tell someone who is considering
volunteering at Common Ground, the couple had similar
answers. “Common Ground has helped so many people and they
continue to help people every day,” Deborah said. “I would tell
them that there comes a time when all of us need help and to
know that you can pick up the phone and call them anytime –
that’s a gift!”
“I’d say call them yourself, see what they have to offer,” Jerome
said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve given out that phone
number to people!”
According to Common Ground’s director of Advancement and
Donor Relations Cheryl Rossman, the Moceris are not afraid
to put their passion for Common Ground into action. “Jerome
and Deborah’s enthusiasm for our mission and passion for
our services positions them to be natural Common Ground
ambassadors. The two are always looking for ways to open
doors for Common Ground in the community.”
In fact, the Moceri family hosted a special Legacy of Hope
Harvest Celebration event for Common Ground at the Moceri
companies’ Kingsridge model home in Oakland Township
recently, where the Moceri companies arranged to have a
chef prepare gourmet pizza in the home’s outdoor brick oven.
“It was one of our best events,” said Rossman. “Guests felt at
home and conversations flowed well past the event ending
time,” she added.
Jerome has even been telling people to put Common Ground’s
crisis phone number into their cell phones. “Whomever I’m
with – business associates, employees or friends, I tell them
to get their phone handy because I have an important phone
number for them to add to their contacts. I describe the mission
of Common Ground and how one day they may need help and
everyone has had a positive reaction. In fact, the number one
response is: cool!”
Common Ground’s Legal Clinic
A History of Community Support
By John Kuzmich, Legal Services manager
From its early days on Park Street in downtown Birmingham in
1970, Common Ground has maintained a reputation as a place
where anyone in need can find someone to listen or lend a
helping hand. The history of the agency as a provider of crisis
intervention services is well-told, and much of its success can
be directly attributed to the broad array of services it offers.
Common Ground’s legal clinic is one of those services.
Norman Olshansky was Common Ground’s first full-time
administrator. He recalled the need for this service arose due
to high call volumes from people looking for legal assistance.
As a result, local attorneys were recruited to staff the phone
lines at Common Ground on Tuesday evenings. Soon it became
apparent that people should have the opportunity to speak
with an attorney face-to-face.
Early legal clinic volunteer Paul Tessler was one of a small group
of attorneys who were the first to see people on a walk-in basis
in 1971. “People were just amazed that they could talk to a
lawyer,” Tessler said. During that same year Common Ground
relocated to 279 S. Woodward Avenue. On Tuesday nights from
8-10 p.m., an average of two to three volunteer attorneys would
meet with four to eight people at the clinic.
Attorney Larry Pepper, who volunteered at the legal clinic from
the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, recalled those staffing the
help lines were always available to provide crisis counseling for
someone he was assisting. He felt this was particularly helpful to
a clinic attendee because it could provide the support that only
a crisis intervention agency could provide. This remains one of
the hallmarks of the legal clinic.
Over the years, the legal clinic moved right along with the
agency and during the 1980s operated out of Common Ground’s
facility at 1090 S. Adams Rd. During this time, attorney Marcia
Femrite became involved in the legal clinic. Femrite believed it
was important for legal professionals to give back. She remained
a legal clinic volunteer for more than a dozen years.

Common Ground’s Legal Clinic
continued from page 7
The mid-1990s were a little tumultuous for the legal clinic. From
1989 until about 1995, it operated out of Common Ground’s
facility at 751 Hendrie in Royal Oak. During this time, attorney
Daniel Findling was an active volunteer. Findling valued being a
volunteer and felt it sharpened his analytical skills.
Between 1995 and 2000, the clinic moved to an offsite location
at Oakland Family Services in Berkley, where attorneys like Resa
Jannett, Micheal Kilpatrick, and Bob Beardslee helped keep it
going.
Now retired, Paul Tessler
remembers his experience
as a Common Ground
Legal Clinic volunteer:
“The thing that stuck
with me is the personal
satisfaction of the
people we served.”
The Tuesday evening clinic is currently located in Common
Ground’s Administration Building at 1410 S. Telegraph Rd.
It experienced rapid growth under the leadership of Tony
Rothschild, Jim Perlaki and the first full-time Legal Services
manager, Cheryl Rossman.
From 1999 to 2012, the number of consultations attorneys
provided increased from less than 200 to more than 1,500
per year. A Thursday clinic located at the Oakland County
Law Library was added in 2010 under the direction of
Legal Services manager Holli Wallace.
Operating for more than 40 years, Common Ground’s legal
clinic continues to serve the public through the dedication of
its volunteer attorneys. As of fiscal year 2012-2013, the clinic can
count on support from more than two dozen licensed attorneys
and approximately a dozen additional volunteers including
paralegals and other professionals.
In Memoriam
This story is dedicated to the efforts of the
hundreds, perhaps thousands of attorneys
who have lent a sharp mind and open
heart to those who have sought help from
the legal clinic over the past 40 years. One
of those attorneys was Holli Wallace, who
passed away in October 2013. Holli served as
Common Ground’s Legal Services manager
from 2010-2012. A committed advocate for
access to legal services for those who are
unable to afford them, Holli’s compassionate
spirit will continue to serve as an inspiration
to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Third Legacy of Hope Breakfast
Helps to Build Passion
for Common Ground’s Mission
Common Ground’s third Legacy of Hope Breakfast last September
welcomed more than 250 guests who got the opportunity to
experience the impact the agency has made in the community.
The one-hour program was filled with first-hand accounts from
individuals and families who Common Ground has assisted, and
a video was shown that featured real stories about some of the
real people that have been helped.
The breakfast theme, “Seeds of Growth,” explored ways Common
Ground can extend the reach of its message of helping people
move from crisis to hope. One of the ways identified is the agency’s
ongoing efforts to educate the community about mental health by
facilitating Mental Health First Aid sessions. Becoming a Common
Ground volunteer and/or financial supporter were also highlighted
as ways to help extend the agency’s message and reach.

Many guests were motivated by the heartfelt stories and compelling
presentation to make a financial commitment to Common Ground.
Some guests even made pledges that permitted them to become
Common Ground Sustainers (Sustainers commit to support and
safeguard Common Ground’s most vulnerable programs with a gift
at any level per year for a minimum of five years) or Legacy Society
members (Legacy Society members commit to make positive
change in people’s lives and their communities with a minimum
gift of $1,000 per year for a minimum of five years).
In fact, a total of 14 individuals and couples were propelled by
passion for our mission to join the Legacy Society at the breakfast.
But whether it was becoming a volunteer, giving a one-time
donation or making a pledge for continued support, Common
Ground values any and all contributions and is grateful for the
community’s support in helping plant the seeds that move people
from crisis to hope. To find out more about becoming a Legacy
Society member, call 248-451-3732.
