Impact Report 2015 “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are a leader.” JOHN QUINCY ADAMS Our "Three Rs" Approach 6th President of the United States Dear Friends, For nearly 110 years, Children’s Institute, Inc. has been a recognized leader in the field of children’s services. This past year, we provided critical services to more than 28,000 children and family members across Los Angeles County, helping them heal from trauma, break through the barriers of poverty and grow up to lead healthy, productive lives. Our guiding vision has always been to help the city’s most vulnerable children dream more — to help them envision a future in which the possibilities are endless. Our services are designed around the whole child and the entire family, empowering caregivers to learn more and acquire the skills necessary to be the best parents they can be. Our model program, Project FatherhoodSM, has been recognized nationally for its impact and success in helping men do more to become better fathers. We are raising the bar on our success, pushing forward with bold, new plans to expand into one of Los Angeles’s most challenged neighborhoods — the historically underserved community of Watts. Frank Gehry, the world’s greatest living architect, has put his creative energy into designing a beautiful facility, pro bono, that will enable CII to serve 5,000 children and families in the Watts area with our unique blend of clinical, youth development, family support and early childhood programs. We have launched a comprehensive fundraising campaign called Building on Success to help us reach our goal. This is no small feat, but we are prepared to tackle the challenge. We know we could not do this important work without the incredible generosity and support of our donors, support groups, volunteers and community partners. With you by our side, CII can become more than we ever imagined — a safe space for healing, a resource for parents, a community hub for families, and a leader in helping our most vulnerable children excel — no matter where they live. As we move forward together, we thank you for your continued support and belief in our mission. Mary M. Emmons President & CEO E verything we do at CII is aimed at three organizationwide outcomes, the Three Rs: Recovery, Resiliency and Readiness. We want to help children recover from trauma, build resiliency to cope with adversity and become ready for success in school, work and life. W Our approach is designed to address the whole child and the entire family. As you read the profiles in this year’s impact report, you will meet a dedicated group of CII families who have made important strides toward recovery, resiliency and readiness. We hope you will be inspired by their individual journeys and encouraged by the knowledge that CII continues to be a leader in helping children heal from the trauma of family and community violence, build READINESS the confidence and skills to for success in school, break through the barriers work, and life of poverty, and grow up to lead healthy, productive lives.

Charles P. Diamond Chairman, Board of Trustees CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 11 Early Childhood Services "They motivate me to be a better parent. And I can come here for whatever I need. Services. Volunteering. They are here for us." GETTING A HEAD START ANTHONYQUE GREENWOOD T he world was moving fast for Anthonyque Greenwood and Tyree Anderson. The young couple had assumed new responsibilities — Anthonyque attending college and Tyree working full-time — that took them away from their four-year-old son, Tyree Jr., several days a week. When they enrolled him at CII’s Head Start Center in the Imperial Courts housing development, they got more than a solid early childhood education program. CII has expanded its Head Start/Early Head Start programs to serve more than 2,000 children birth to 5 in Los Angeles County. Recently, a Head Start teacher quietly pulled Anthonyque aside and inquired about her son’s irregular speech patterns. “He would try to say things, but it was gibberish,” his father remembers, “like when you try to sing a song and don’t know the words.” Tyree Jr. was trying to mimic the rhythms he heard but not the sounds. The supportive Head Start teachers recommended ways the parents could work with their son on his speech patterns during their daily activities. “Now we tell him to slow down and pronounce each syllable,” says Tyree Sr. “Or we’ll say, ‘Tell us again so we can get each word.’” Already, they are noting shifts in their son’s speaking ability and in his self-confidence. Says Anthonyque, “Now he knows his ABCs. He can count. My baby knows how to say his name.” Anthonyque Greenwood with husband Tyree Anderson and son Tyree Jr. 2 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 3 Family Support "When people ask me what Project FatherhoodSM is all about, I tell them it’s a place where men get the support they need. And there is hardly any other place like it." STRENGTHENING FAMILY THROUGH PROJECT FATHERHOODSM Saul Guzman with Alexis and Damien SAUL GUZMAN W hen Saul Guzman temporarily lost custody of his two children, it was the end of the world as he knew it. He had been on a difficult road, struggling with addiction and anger, unsure how to forge a new path. When Saul was ready to begin the journey to reclaim his life, Children’s Institute and Project FatherhoodSM were just steps away from his house. It was 2011 and Saul found himself stuck in an old cycle. “I was still with the mother of my children. She kept using. Hiding it.” That dynamic fueled tension at home — arguments played out in front of the children. “I got frustrated. Then I relapsed. Then I couldn’t take any more.” He got clean again and was determined to reclaim his children. He just didn’t know how to start. PROGRAM PARTICIPATION MORE THAN 12,000 FATHERS NEARLY 17,500 CHILDREN 4 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT Project FatherhoodSM provides comprehensive parenting skills to men in caregiving roles, including fathers, stepfathers, foster parents and relative caregivers. “I tried three different places,” he says. “Finally, a Family Preservation worker said there’s a program called Project FatherhoodSM at a place called CII. And I said, ‘Wait. I know that place!’” Early on, Saul was fearful about sharing his struggles and fears with the men in the Fatherhood group, but there was value in hearing other fathers testifying. “What I needed, and what they gave me, was someone who was going to tell me, ‘OK, this is what you’re going to face, and we can help you through it.’ “A lot of other fathers tell me that they notice how well I’m doing now. And I tell them it’s because I’m in a program that keeps me focused and strong, that teaches me parenting skills and how to communicate with my kids. And they’ll ask, ‘There’s a place like that?’” “Yes. Right down the street.” CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 5 Clinical Services "I’ve gained confidence because I know I’m not on this journey alone." FINDING HER VOICE: ONE TEEN'S JOURNEY JENNIFER* A fter a long separation, Jennifer* and her mother, Karen*, were living under the same roof. Karen sensed there was something different about her daughter, something that kept them out of touch with one another. The distance was difficult to name, but it was very real. Karen worried she had lost the child she’d nurtured. Mother and daughter came to Children’s Institute for help, and to close a widening gap. At CII, our evidence-based services help families with critical needs. Our clinical and community mental health programs address some of the most challenging cases of abuse and neglect. Yet with the proper support, vulnerable children and families can find healing, acceptance and growth. Sometimes the most difficult wall to tear down is the one you can’t see. Karen did not know that severe sexual and emotional abuse as a child had left Jennifer terrified and incapable of feeling safe. Trust shattered, Jennifer coped by stowing her feelings deep inside, telling no one. Over time, that load got heavier, leaving little room to think about the next moment, let alone plan a future. When she arrived at Children’s Institute for specialized teen group therapy, she still wasn’t sure she was ready. While other girls shared their stories, Jennifer held back. Weeks passed before she finally spoke up. “When I spoke, they told me I was strong,” she says. The turning point, she explains, was “finding the words to tell my story.” With CII’s guidance, Jennifer evolved from wallflower to a leader. Excelling in math, she plans to take advanced-placement courses to prepare for college so she can realize her new dream of becoming an engineer. The help both Jennifer and her mother found at CII has given them hope for the future. “I thought my daughter would never have a chance to move forward,” Karen says. “Now I know she can do anything she wants to do because of what she’s learned at CII.” *Names have been changed to protect client confidentiality. 6 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 7 Youth Development "CII has been such a great benefit to our community. It’s become a hub for people in this area. There was simply nothing like this before." CREATING A NEIGHBORHOOD OF HOPE SOFIA MANZO L ike many residents in her Rampart/Westlake neighborhood, Sofia Manzo saw a need for outlets to keep teens like her on a positive path and focused on the future. Community is built from the ground up, supported and strengthened through daily interaction. For communities like Sofia’s, that foundation is sometimes as simple as having a door to walk through, a safe haven where someone can point you to the help you need — whatever that might be. ll 86% of children show strong resiliency after participating in CII’s community service90% programs. of parents report strong social strong skills in their ll 90% of parents report children after in social skills in theirparticipating children CII’s youth after participating in development CII’s youth programs. development programs. 86% of children show strong resiliency after participating in CII’s youth development programs. Sofia thought it odd that her neighborhood provided no afterschool centers for kids, no state-of-the-art gyms, no formal community gathering places. So when a former industrial building nearby showed signs of transformation, she paid attention. And when CII’s Otis Booth Campus opened, her family was one of the first through the door. While Sofia focused on accruing community service hours for high school, her siblings eagerly signed up for classes in ceramics, media arts and sports. Sofia plugged into teen-focused programs and began working with CII’s Youth Council to develop new opportunities for youth: “Cooking, music classes and staged events,” she says, activities that would help supplement the dearth of opportunities locally. An unexpected benefit was the community CII created for Sofia’s mother. CII’s Women’s Circle provides her with an outlet for supportive friendships and gets her out more for yoga, jogging and gardening. Now in college, Sofia balances her studies with a part-time job as a CII receptionist, and she is a mentor for CII’s Youth Council, developing programs for first-generation college students. “Before CII opened, we would stay home a lot,” Sofia says. “Now we have access to so many activities. CII made a big difference for my family.” 8 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT Sofia Manzo (left) CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 9 Building on Success "CII is an incredible organization with a vitally important mission. I am very honored to be a part of this project, which will allow them to expand their reach to even more children and families." A NEW, FULL-SERVICE CII CAMPUS IN WATTS Architect Frank Gehry The new Watts Campus will consist of 50,000 square feet of program, community and office space, including: FRANK GEHRY F or nearly 110 years, Children’s Institute has been at the forefront of efforts to provide services and support for children and families in Los Angeles’s most challenged communities. Now we are prepared to take the next step in our evolution. World-renowned architect Frank Gehry has completed the pro-bono design for our future Watts Campus, and plans are underway to bring his vision to life for the children and families of Watts. • Early Childhood classrooms • Individual, family and group therapy • Art room • Large multi-purpose room • Computer room • Café and nutrition center • Library • Family resource center • Teen center • Office space 10 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT When completed, CII’s new Watts Campus will allow us to serve 5,000 children, youth and caregivers each year with our high-quality, culturally sensitive, evidenced-based programming that will help transform the lives of children and families and make a positive impact on the entire community. CII will construct a child- and family-friendly, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Watts, expanding our existing programs to provide a full spectrum of services to more children and families in this underserved community. At CII's new Watts Campus, children will not only receive the clinical treatment they need to cope with trauma; they'll also get the support they need to harness their potential, so they can connect with what they love to do and become the people they are meant to be. CII has embarked on a historic $75-million comprehensive fundraising campaign to bring our vision for the future to life in Watts and across Los Angeles. Learn more at childrensinstitute.org.

CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 11 Programs/Services PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT EXPANDING SERVICES ACROSS LOS ANGELES COUNTY C II’s integrated service model offers readily accessible, well-coordinated prevention, intervention and treatment services for children and families who reside in high-need, low-resource communities. “Whatever it takes” is our guiding principle in stabilizing and strengthening the families we serve. Clinical Services counteract trauma through culturally competent mental health assessment and treatment, child welfare/foster care and sexual abuse treatment with a focus on evidence-based practices. Child & Youth Development Services support resiliency and provide alternatives to gangs by offering youth opportunities to experience success and selfexpression through visual and performing arts, leadership development, educational improvement and athletics. Family Support Services empower families to stabilize their home lives and develop social networks through parenting education, fatherhood support groups, nutrition education, financial literacy and job preparation. Early Childhood Services provide critical early childhood education and prevention strategies for children from birth to 5 years and their families to ensure that children enter kindergarten ready to learn. 12 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT Project ABC is a model program of the CII Leadership Center, which influences the field of children's services through training, research and advocacy. Project ABC is a collaborative partnership among professionals and organizations in the child welfare, mental health and early childhood fields. The goal is to create a system of care for children from birth through age 5, to ensure they have access to mental health services that are familycentered, strength-based, and culturally competent. Community-based early childhood mental health programs provide families with much-needed services and support to help them manage challenging family experiences and work through atypical behaviors in very young children. 94% of caregivers in the program reported increased access to supportive services. Children in Project ABC experienced a significant decrease in problem behaviors. As full partners, family members participate on teams to identify services and make decisions about how best to work with their own children, as well as helping to improve services for other families in their community. Mothers participating in Project ABC’s comprehensive mental health services showed dramatic improvement at 6 and 12 months: Clinically Depressed... 40 30 20 10 0 45% On entry 25% After 6 months 15% 90% of caregivers reported greater social connectedness among family and friends. After 12 months CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE, INC. | 13 CII's Amazing Volunteers Last year, nearly 2,000 volunteers contributed more than 35,000 hours of service to CII. GIVING BACK, PAYING IT FORWARD C hildren’s Institute is extremely grateful for thousands of exceptional volunteers who donate their time and creativity for the benefit of our children and families. Our volunteers do everything from assisting in youth development programs, such as art and sports, to reading to children and beautifying our facilities. Among them is a dedicated group of young adults who have found a way to give back and inspire other youth at the same time. Tyler and Pam Konkal and the original members of Kids for CII. Kids for CII | A Legacy of Service In Tyler Konkal’s family, service and philanthropy are time-honored traditions. As an eighth grader, Tyler started the youth volunteer group Kids for CII with help from his mother, Pamela Konkal, a CII supporter and member of CII’s support group The Colleagues. His grandmother, Ann Petroni, is also a Colleague and former CII Board member. Tyler rallied his school friends who volunteered by organizing fun learning activities for CII's 4-to-8-year-old clients. Seven years later, the group is still going strong, now led by The Colleagues' Maty Monfort Novia and her children, 17-year-old Christopher and 13-year-old Caroline. 14 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT Charlie’s group gets to work. The volunteerism bug hit Charlie Thompson, 16, as he was about to distribute Easter baskets at CII with his mother, Gia Thompson, a member of CII’s support group The C.H.I.P.S. “I suddenly thought, why don’t I try to do something on my own, like tutoring,” he says. Charlie started Tutoring Partners with several classmates, working with CII clients aged 5 to 7. Two years later, the volunteer tutors now number 15 and meet weekly with an expanded age group of children. Charlie’s next goal is to bring the program to CII’s Watts Center in South Los Angeles, where there are few resources and a need for tutors. “My parents have always encouraged me to give back,” Charlie says. “They instilled in me the importance of persistence and staying on track with an idea. That’s something we pass on to our CII kids.” “My mother and grandmother have done a lot of charitable work, often anonymously,” says Tyler, now 18. “To them, giving back is a given.” "If people reach out of their comfort zone, they'll see it's possible to connect with those who are different from themselves," says Caroline. "At CII, each of us finds our match." Tutoring Partners Building Skills, Connecting Youth The Colleagues’ Maty Monfort Novia supports her children’s volunteerism by assisting with their Saturday activities. Thank you to the many volunteers — individuals, groups and corporations — that came together to support CII this past year. Your generosity helps us make a difference in the lives of children every day.

Thanks to their passion, CII is able to continue to expand services and bring attention to our critically important work. Gehry Partners Tours In the months leading up to the unveiling of Frank Gehry’s design for CII’s new Watts Campus, Trustees took a number of trips to Gehry Partners to get a firsthand look at plans and models. The tours helped to inform board members and a number of community leaders, such as Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, about the design of the new campus. 16 | 2015 IMPACT REPORT CII Trustee and PSLA Support Group founder Rochelle Gores Fredston celebrated the group’s fourth year of helping children in Watts and South Los Angeles prepare for a new school year. The Back-to-School Giveaway in Watts provided backpacks, school supplies, shoes and more to thousands of children. Gehry Reveal Event CII kicked off the autumn season by unveiling the model for our new Watts Campus, designed pro bono by worldrenowned architect Frank Gehry. Board support was strong at the festive Gehry Reveal event, which included speeches from CII Board Chair Charles Diamond and Trustee Sgt. Emada Tingirides. The event received widespread media coverage and generated significant interest in the project. Board Retreat CII hosts a dynamic annual Trustee Retreat that provides an in-depth look at agency programs and opportunities to hear directly from clients about their journey toward healing. This past year’s retreat took place at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica and included engaging panels with CII clinical staff and their clients.

Glenn Ziegenfuss Patricia Zohn Pardis Zomorodi A Vision for the Future The success and sustainability of CII’s work in Watts depends upon creating a safe and effective campus to house our programs and activities, as well as obtaining funding for the continued growth and development of services at the new campus and across Los Angeles County. That’s why CII has embarked on a historic $75-million comprehensive campaign called Building on Success — the largest and most extensive fundraising effort in our 110-year history. The $35-million CII Watts Campus capital project is the cornerstone of this campaign. An investment in our Building on Success campaign will provide funding for clinical treatment, family support, early childhood and youth development programs for thousands of children and families in Watts. Support will also help maintain CII’s current programs and services across Los Angeles. To find out more about how you can support our Building on Success campaign, please contact Dr. Jeffrey Catania, Senior Vice President of Development, at 213.260.7650.
