Success Whatever it takes. 2012-2013 Community Impact Report “Intellectual ability will take you only so far in life… a positive attitude, the ability to persevere without exception and a commitment to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals; that will take you to the places of your dreams.” 1 ~ Doug Fortenberry, educator What is success worth? What does it take to help children and adults with developmental, intellectual and severe behavioral challenges achieve success — not just individually through clever interventions and occasional miracles, but in significant numbers, and in ways that could be replicated statewide? Or even nationally? whatever it takes to ensure every challenge is followed by triumph — from providing emergency treatment and care for a child to working with community school educators to helping a family keep the lights on. Whatever it takes. Just as we would do for ourselves and our own families in times of great need. Successful people create successful communities. At Damar, we’d like to think we are doing our part to ensure the success of the 1,450 clients we proudly serve each day. Whatever it takes is not a program or an initaitive. It is a bold and profoundly hopeful dispatch to employees at every level of our organization — a message of unyielding expectation that our work enhances the ambitions of our clients, strengthens their families and improves entire communities. It is inspired by children and families destined to be better — and to live better — often against great odds. To us, their success is priceless. And it takes positive change in every aspect of their lives to help them achieve it. It takes changing how they feel about themselves. Changing how they learn. How they cope with challenges. How they interact with others. And how they experience everyday life. At its root, our mission is both clinical and moral, based on the spirit of charity, solidarity and hope. When a client or family we serve is facing unimaginable challenges, we’ll do On the following pages, we’d like to share some the many ways we strive to achieve excellence in our mission and inspire success for our clients, their families and the communities we serve. 2 Programs & Services Child & Youth Services Outpatient Behavioral Health Services Who We Serve: Damar’s Outpatient clinic service provides counseling, behavior management, consultation, evaluation, crisis response and medication management services to hundreds of children, youth and adults.

As part of our annual planning in 2010, Damar convened a group of employees representing every aspect of our mission to explore the importance of continuous quality improvement standards as seen through the eyes of our stakeholders and regulatory agencies. The results were clear: The best and most effective providers will achieve and maintain national accrediation standards. In 2011, we pursued and achieved accreditation fron the Council on Accreditation of Residential Facilities for day services programs. And in May 2012, after a rigorous yearlong application process that involved a detailed review and analysis of both our administrative operations and our service delivery practices measured against national standards of best practice, Damar received full accreditation from the prestigious Council on Accreditation (COA). The Council’s press release states, “COA’s commitment to maintaining the highest level of standards and quality improvement is designed to identify providers that have set high standards for themselves and have made a commitment to their constituents to deliver the highest quality services. COA is proud to recognize Damar Services, Inc. as one of these outstanding providers.” This benchmark accomplishment was led by our training director Simone Brewer and a number of dedicated and hard working key staff members for whom we are so grateful. However this was truly a team effort involving hundreds of people and every part of our organization. 9 Executives Providing agency, local and national leadership for system reform and partnering with others to develop innovative communitybased solutions Greg Johnson* Damar Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Jim Dalton, Psy.D, HSPP* President & Chief of Operations There is strength in numbers, and Damar is more than 900 strong. Drawing on our diverse skills and human services legacy, we’re finding innovative ways to make the most of our employees and assets while remaining flexible and transforming exisiting programs and services to more effective and efficient models. For our leadership and staff, this requires contant readiness for change. However, leading change toward more effective business operations systems in Indiana and on a national level opens numerous growth doors. In 2012, Damar doubled the capacity of our community-based programs through expansion of Integrated Services, development of Cross-systems of Care Services and the launch of our Applied Behavior Analysis Program. We explored various corporate structures and models that could better support our core mission and services. The result is a newly reorganized Management Team Model with changes in job titles and responsibilities to better position Damar for growth and business opportunities. Rich Harcourt* Sr. Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Liz Snyder Vice President of Human Resources Empowering People to Excel Damar Services is committed to engaging the absolute best talent to fulfill our mission, and that means tapping the skills, expertise, and potential of every employee. The demand for talented and dedicated entrylevel human services workers is on the rise, and college students represent a large share of the talent pool. These factors make attracting and developing qualified talent imperative — and a strategic driver that fuels our organization’s growth. Jason McManus Vice President of Programs & Services Dave DeWitt Director of Advancement *Management Team Member 11 In 2012, Damar partnered with local colleges and universities — an organization-wide strategy for targeted recruitment — to enhance our support of student professional development in human services, social work, nursing and education; and to foster a work experience that enables both full- and part-time employees to reach great heights. “This initative is creating new opportunities to increase our access to diverse job candidates with interests in highly specialized careers,” says Liz Snyder, vice president of human resources. “These relationships also support the schools as they serve the broader community.” Strategic mentoring initiatives to boost employee satisfaction and retention ensure that employees and their supervisors have more regular and meaningful conversations about job performance and career development opportunities. And to promote career advancement within Damar, we also introduced new programs to support leadership skill-building among our top direct care staff and increase exposure of internal career advancement opportunities. Together, these initiatives are expanding the climate of promotion across our organization — and are boosting our reputation as an employer of choice in central Indiana. Beyond their professional service, Damar is especially proud of our employees’ personal committment to our mission their individual charitable giving. “The engagement and dedication of our staff brings to life Damar’s core values and clearly demonstrates how our collective energy and skills can make a lasting difference for those we serve,” said Greg Johnson, Damar chairman and chief executive officer. “Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” 13 Many stories you hear at Damar are touching tales of people born with unimaginable challenges — developmental disorders like autism, intellectual disabilities, and the most severe behavioral and mental health issues. Some of these are people who were subjected to abuse or neglect as children. Some are people who lost their families to violence, mental illness or addiction. Some are people who became aggressive — sometimes even engaging in dangerous behavior — as they strive to cope with everyday life. They come to Damar vulnerable, often rejected and underappreciated, and living in situations that seem impossible. But that changes at Damar. Here, they encounter something unexpected: Hope. Purpose. Success. The chance to say, “I’m possible.” In the coming pages, you’ll meet three of the many deserving people served by Damar — on our campus, in our community and across the state — and discover what our mission means to them. ~ Muhammad Ali, Boxing legend 14 Tommy, Chase & Dilana Born with severe autism, Chase was the middle child in a family of three children lingering from foster home to foster home in Osceola County, Florida’s child welfare system. A family history of drug abuse and neglect prevented him, older brother Tommy and younger sister Dilana from living with their biological parents. Martina Heid — who was familiar with the children’s plight — and her husband Doug wanted to give the children the love, support and family they deserve. But they wanted to do it here — in Indiana. “These children are important to us, so we just did what we felt we were called to do to help them. And we’d do it again.” ~ Martina In April 2011, the Heid’s became the first family licensed through Damar Foster Care Services. Four months later, an inter-state agreement between Florida and Indiana enabled Tommy, Chase and Dilana to transition more than 1,000 miles to the Heid’s residence in Indianapolis. Immediately, Chase began receiving much-needed autism treatment through Damar’s Outpatient & Mental Health Clinic. And, Damar Foster Care Services director Guene Kalal began supporting the Heid’s plans to adopt the three children. In January 2012, the adoptions were finalized. In September 2012, the Heid’s also adopted a fourth sibling, baby Isaiah, born two months prematurely less than a month earlier. “Doug and Martina represent the kind The family has overcome many challenges. Today, the children are doing remarkably well. Tommy, 16, is a sophomore in high school and is earning his lifeguard certification. Chase, 9, now uses a specialized computer that enables him to communicate with others. Dilana, 2, gets smarter and sassier each day. Baby Isaiah is healthy and growing. Finally, the four of them are exactly where they should be. Home. Together. of family that every foster child needs — the kind that will do anything to give children what they need.” Tommy, Chase and Dilana ~ Guene, Director of Damar Foster Care Services Damar Foster Care Services 15 16 “I feel really good about myself. For someone like me that has trouble reading, keeping a job for as long as I have and getting my driver’s license is a big deal.” “Saquan has become a very independent young man with a strong work ethic. He has the potential to be highly successful in whatever life brings his way.” ~Shelly, Saquan’s Residential Manager 17 ~ Saquan Saquan Saquan’s difficult relationship with his mom and step-father left him left living with friends by age 13 and homeless less than four years later. He slept wherever he could find safe shelter. He missed a few meals. But he never missed school. Never missed a shift at his part-time job. In 2007, after a brief stay at an Indianapolis youth emergency shelter, Saquan, came to Damar’s Transitional Living Program. A well-behaved young man with excellent survival skills, he also faces a mild intellectual development disorder. He struggled with impulse control. Had difficulty making good decisions. Could barely read. Damar made sure that Saquan received all the support he needed. He was able to continue working, and taking culinary and academic classes at Indianapolis Public Schools. He graduated in 2008 and transitioned to Damar’s less-than 24 hour Community Living and Support Services Program. Today, Saquan, 23, enjoys living in an apartment with a roommate and has maintained the same two full-time jobs for the past three years. Damar’s staff continues to help him with personal development and living skills like money management. In August 2012, after two years of preparation to develop his reading skills, Saquan earned his driver’s license and purchased his first car. Now he has a new goal in sight: culinary school. Saquan Damar’s less-than 24 hour Community Living and Support Services Program LaQuinta “I used to be a follower. Now, I am proud of myself because I make better choices and get to enjoy being an adult. I am more independent. ” ~ LaQuinta LaQuinta’s rough start in life included abuse and neglect that lasted more than a decade and placement at several other treatment facilities before she came to Damar in 2008. Understandably, she was quite a handful — facing not only mild intellectual challenges, but also ADHD, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Disruptive Behavior Disorder. LaQuinta was angry. Agressive. Loud. Disruptive. Distructive. Uncooperative. Unpreditable. Untrustworthy. And nearly impossible to control. LaQuinta is strong-willed with a great sense of humor — strengths that go a long way toward helping her achieve success at Damar. And she is a success. Damar provides LaQuinta with the care, support, counseling and education she needs to set her own goals and achieve her potential. Four months after her arrival, she transitioned from Damar’s residential campus to a nearby group home. She is a 2010 graduate of Damar Academy and a client in Damar’s Community Living and Support Services Program since 2011. “The structure and consistency LaQuinta receives from Damar are instrumental to her success. She knows that we genuinely care Today, LaQuinta, 21 is making positive choices. She enjoys living in her own apartment with a rommate, working several days a week and participating in Damar’s Aktion Club, a social group for adult clients. Most importantly, she is happy. Her smile says it all. about her, and she feels loved and supported.” ~Brittney, LaQuinta’s Behavior Clinician LaQuinta 18 Damar’s 24 hour Community Living and Support Services Program 19 Executive Letter Board of Directors This past year has once again been a year of change, challenge and opportunity for the Damar mission. As you will read in these pages, we have met the challenge of severe reductions in state revenue and are returning to a position of greater financial sustainability. Such a feat cannot occur without wise board stewardship, visionary staff, strategic planning and the support of our giving community. Damar has adapted to this new austerity and an environment of increased regulatory burden in a manner that held true to our principles of best practice and outcomes for the wonderful children, adults and families we serve. Chair Gail Shiel IUPUI Though we have adjusted by reluctantly contracting in some coveted program areas, we have also grown in new and exciting areas of opportunity for our clientele and community. This past year we pursued and received national accreditation through the prestigious Council on Accreditation (CoA) which has both validated our measurement of internal quality and set new standards for future excellence in service. We also doubled our capacity in community based services and launched our new Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy services for children with Autism which will serve families in our community as well as those who are directly in our care. Damar Services has grown through the years to become a diverse and comprehensive service provider in fulfillment of our mission. Our growth has not been for growths sake but, rather, to better meet the needs of our clients, families and communities. This past year our board of directors approved and implemented a new management team structure in order to more efficiently and strategically administer the wide variety of services under the Damar umbrella. The organization’s Chairman and CEO, president and COO, and senior vice-president and CFO serve in this function with a dedicated and talented array of program, clinical and educational leaders directing the many Damar service lines. Through this report, we invite you learn more about Damar Services and our tremendous positive impact on children and adults facing life’s greatest developmental and behavioral challenges. See for yourself how we live the phrase “Whatever it Takes” that you will see throughout this report. Our children, our adult clients and our families deserve nothing less. Gregory A.

You can help. There’s nothing like the feel of nice threads to boost a guy’s confidence. You can help ensure the young men at Damar look and feel great at next year’s prom by donating new or gently used suits, sports coats, dress slacks and shirts, neckties, dress belts and dress shoes. Men’s clothing (sizes small to 3XL) and shoes (sizes 6 to 13) are needed. Items must be in good, presentable condition without needing repairs or mending. Prom dresses for young ladies are not needed at this time. Collecting donations is an easy way for individuals, groups, churches and businesses to have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives deserving youth in need. Please deliver items no later than March 15, 2014 to Damar Services at 6067 Decatur Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46241. Questions? Contact Mike Kraft at [email protected] or 317-856-5201.

The following summary represents Damar’s financial revenue and expenditures from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012. The financial statements of Damar Services, Inc. are audited annually by an independent firm and receive unqualified opinions on a regular basis. Audited financial statements are available upon request. Expenses are shown as a percent of the agency’s functional expense allocation. 36 Last fiscal year, Damar Services was greatly challenged as the State’s economic issues had found their way into the per diem rates that Damar receives on its fee-for-services programs. Since that time, financial conditions have improved as the State provided rates more closely aligned with historical levels and we continued to develop methods to provide innovative treatments with new efficiencies. Restoring financial integrity to Damar is most important as it protects client services and successes while allowing Damar to continue its long-term strategy of innovation and development of best practices to our programs. In the last fiscal year, Damar made significant progress in actualizing its strategic plan. The Damar Services sponsored charter school (a separate corporation known as the Damar Charter Academy) successfully completed its first full year of operations. Damar Services has made a significant financial contribution to enable and support this school. Equally important is the continued work around the nationally recognized Integrated Services Program (ISP). Client success remains the hallmark of this program, but the underlying philosophies are driving change in all of Damar’s treatments and those positive impacts are being seen, noticed, measured, and emulated across many cities and states. On a less positive note, staffing in our industry remains a challenge as per diem rates just don’t allow for a living wage for direct care staff that offer real provision and sacrifice to those we serve. Damar continuously looks for ways to improve staffing reimbursement with the realization that high quality staff lead to client success which in turn reduces recidivism. However, as long as short term budget issues from our payors dominate discussions in lieu of payment for performance outcomes, the frustrations will continue. Much progress was made this year in terms of achieving Damar’s strategic plan. And we are excited about many new cost efficient ideas which will benefit those we serve. Your continued and loyal support help transform these ideas into client successes. Thank you! 37 091204 Damar Services, Inc. 6067 Decatur Blvd. Indianapolis, IN 46241 P: 317 856 5201 E: [email protected] damar.org
