Annual Report 2011-2012
2011-2012 Annual Report & Healing Hope Board Chair/Executive Director Report Measuring passion, innovation and skill We often measure our year’s successes in increments — how many more; how much faster and farther. What the numbers don’t measure are the personal efforts that drive those successes. In a time of widespread fiscal restraints, there has been no reduction in the devotion of The George Hull Centre’s outstanding staff members to achieve. They hold tight to our core values of innovation, skill and passion. It’s innovation that saw our staff take on a teen with very complex needs who had no where else to turn and provide a rich therapeutic program that ensured his success. It’s skill that gave the 4,500 children and families who turned to us in 2011 a reason for hope. And it’s the same passion that drew our clinicians to the field of children’s mental health in the first place that drives them to look beyond the obvious, see past the symptoms, and recognize the potential of the children and youth in our care. They do all of this with transparency, an eagerness to share and a commitment to accountability. Core values combined with best practice, program evaluation, solid research and clinical expertise does add up. Not always in numbers, but in hope and healing. We can’t help but be inspired.

Mathur Duncan McCallum Jane Waechter Director of Development: Seana Massey Senior Management Jane Bray, Executive Director Rick Arseneau, Director, Finance & Operations Diane Bartlett, Director, Research & Program Evaluation Susan Chamberlain, Director, Residential & Day Treatment Services Kim Curran, Director, Prevention & Early Intervention Services Dr. Gregory Lodenquai, Clinical Director and Psychiatrist-in-Chief The George Hull Centre for Children and Families is an accredited children’s mental health centre serving children from birth to age eighteen and their families. We are here because….. • Over a hundred Ontario children and youth kill themselves every year, two or three every week. • 70-80% of all mental illnesses appear before the age of 18. • The economic cost attributable to untreated mental health disorders in Ontario is $22 billion. • 1 in 5 kids in Ontario struggles with their mental health. • When they don’t get the help they need, kids in distress can turn to drugs, prostitution and gangs. 80% of young offenders have mental health needs. • The mental health of children and youth has a direct impact on the quality of family life, the safety of our schools and streets, our economic prospects as a society and the future costs of health and correctional services. • The children of today will be the leaders and workforce of tomorrow, and in order to succeed in the global market economy they will need to be confident, f lexible and adaptable. Through clinical excellence and a continuum of mental health services, our mission is to reduce suffering, provide hope and enhance the quality of life of children, youth and families. Healthy Children. Strong Families. A Healthy Community. Life has a way of presenting challenges. Sometimes they are too big to handle on our own. That’s where The George Hull Centre comes in. By working together with families and by providing the best possible help, we can make a difference. Whether it is helping children, strengthening families or building a better community. Together we can do it. Help comes in many different ways Our team of social workers, child and youth workers, teachers, early childhood educators, enrichment workers, speech and language pathologists, communication disorder assistants, psychologists and psychiatrists are here to provide: • Assessment of the situation and development of a therapeutic plan • Individual, group and family therapy for children, youth and families • Groups for children, adolescents and parents • Information workshops for parents and the community • Residential and day treatment for adolescents • Substance abuse treatment for adolescents “ I love this place because the warmth and incredible support made a huge difference in our feelings of desperation. Our Programs The Community Clinic serves families with children from birth through age eighteen. Clinical services include a number of inter-related and complementary mental health services, such as assessment, family, individual and group treatment, psychological and psychiatric evaluation. The Clinic also provides clinical service to schools, child welfare and other community agencies. Libby’s Place and the Boys House are specialized residential treatment programs for adolescents between the ages of twelve and eighteen. These programs, staffed by experienced professionals in child and youth work, family therapy and psychiatry, serve adolescents who are experiencing complex and longstanding difficulties. Clear Directions provides treatment to adolescents, age thirteen to eighteen, who struggle with serious substance abuse and mental health issues. A multidisciplinary team integrates harm reduction, systemic and psycho-educational approaches and offers a continuum of services including assessment, family, individual and group therapy, an academic program, residential support, outreach and follow-up. The School Program provides a therapeutic educational program for clients of the residential programs and youth from the community who are unable to manage in their local schools. The purpose of the program is academic achievement and the development of cognitive, social and linguistic skills that are necessary for successful adjustment at home, school and in the community. Toronto Preschool Speech and Language Services provides community-based speech and language services to children and their families, including assessment, group and individual treatment, consultation, support and training for parents and professionals. Special Needs Resourcing provides consultation and support to licensed child care centres to support the inclusion of children with complex needs. Our Programs Specialized Children’s Groups provide extra support to children under the age of six to enable them to develop and practice the necessary skills they require to interact positively with their environment. The Highfield Community Enrichment Project is a Better Beginnings, Better Futures primary prevention project located in a junior school in Rexdale. The key program components are school-based programs, family support and community development. The Ontario Early Years Centre offers early learning and literacy activities, outreach services and parent training to children from birth to age six and their families. The Etobicoke Brighter Futures Coalition is a collaborative group of over 30 community agencies that work together to plan, develop and deliver services and programs that will improve the health and well-being of young children within the context of their families and their communities. The Family Group Conferencing Project of Toronto is a collaborative partnership between children’s mental health and child welfare. Families involved with child welfare and their extended family participate together in developing a plan that addresses risks identified by service providers and meets the child’s needs for safety and well-being. The Family Group Conferencing Ontario Provincial Resource maintains a provincial roster of qualified coordinators, trainers and mentors and provides training and consultation across the province, assuring model fidelity. The Research and Program Evaluation Department supports the Centre in maintaining excellence in our services through program evaluation, quality assurance activities, the provision of training, consultation in the community, ongoing empirical research and collaboration with other researchers. From Our Clients Sophia When Sophia, a 15 year old Libby’s Place resident, came to the program, she was depressed, skipping school and suffering from serious family difficulties. “I came to the program because me and my mother weren’t getting along. I wasn’t listening to her and this was a place I could come and fix all that. They really try to help you in whatever way is good for you. They see what works for you and they continue with that. This program has changed my life. I thought I was going to go back home and keep staying out all night doing drugs and bad things. I don’t want to do that anymore. I want to go home and be with my family and go to university.” “ ” I love this place because I truly felt heard, not just listened to... I felt a genuine understanding of my situation. From Our Clients Amanda “From age 13 to 16, I was always on drugs. I didn’t really have much time that I wasn’t. I was doing a lot of things that you shouldn’t be doing when you’re 13, 14, 15 and 16 years old. If I had a daughter who was doing the things I was doing at that age, I think I would lock her up and never let her out of the house. I was doing a lot of different drugs and experimenting at the time. A friend of mine mixed a whole bunch of things that we shouldn’t have one time – I think I was 14. My mom found me on the floor of my bedroom and I guess called an ambulance. I remember waking up in the hospital and they had me drinking charcoal to get the toxins out of my blood. My mom was sitting at the side of my bed crying. That was kind of my rock bottom. It made me realize I needed to get some help. I look back at that little girl who was so scared and lost and I had no idea which way was up and it’s a complete turnaround. I’m 21 now and I have 3 jobs. I’m a lot closer with my family.” From her mother “Coming to the Centre and getting the help that she needed gave her the safety and structure she needed. It also gave our whole family the support we needed to work with her towards recovery. She really opened up through that whole process of counseling and we did become a lot closer. That ability to talk openly and honestly started something – it was great.” From Our Clients Robert “My father left before I was born. I was born to a developmentally disabled parent and my grandmother raised me with the support of my mother. When I was five years old, my grandmother took sick and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. I went through several homes – foster homes, group homes, even hospital psychiatric wards. I was one hundred pounds heavier. I was struggling with my sexuality, trying to find my place in this world. I was suicidal. I was making suicidal threats. I was violent, smashing windows, doing property damage. I was lashing out at anybody. I did not like the word no. I think what was happening in my life was not necessarily my fault. I felt like I had to take it out on somebody and have people feel the pain I was feeling. After many caregivers gave up on me, The George Hull Centre ended up bringing me in and promised to never give up on me. They stood true to their word. When I was living at The George Hull Centre when I was 13, I had said that I wanted to go to college to be a journalism student. To me it was such a far fetched dream and something that would help me fall asleep at night. I never thought it was realistic, but The George Hull Centre kept reiterating that as long as I was able to get my life on track with their support, it would happen one way or another and they gave me the skills I needed. As of today, I just completed my first year of journalism school at college. I know just exactly what The George Hull Centre is capable of achieving. They helped me when I was at my worst and now they’ve helped me achieve my best and find out just exactly what I’m capable of doing.” From Our Clients Parents “Saying thank you is not enough of an expression of the emotion that I feel when I reflect on the patience, understanding, kindness and professionalism that the house staff generously showed my son during his year long journey. I know living at The George Hull Centre did him a lot of good because of the staff.” Father “The George Hull Centre provides an essential front line service to families in crisis, a helping hand to adolescents in turmoil and a place where parents can learn coping strategies. These counseling services are unequalled anywhere else.” Mother “On behalf of my family, I wish to thank you for your time during our sessions and for your most valuable effect in helping improve our family communications. Our three sessions were thought provoking and insightful; you were instrumental in making all of us think ‘outside the box’ and pave the path to better understanding. Our son initially was very apprehensive, skeptical and resentful about our first appointment. Within the first hour with you, his apprehensions dissipated and he felt positive about continuing the family sessions with us. You were approachable, compassionate, professional and caring throughout.” Mother Client change in functioning based on Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) ratings startinand end ofbased treatment.

Our students enrich the Centre and ensure that we maintain a culture of continuous learning and improvement. 77 students completed placements at the Centre in 2011-12. The Family Therapy Training Program trains both students and professionals in family therapy as an integral component of the treatment of children and adolescents. “ I love this place because it has many meaningful ” clinical education/learning opportunities and very strong clinical support.
