What lies behind and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 Dear Friends of Children, L Life can take some very unpredictable twists and turns – the flight plan is not always clear cut. Since 1969, Robins’ Nest has worked diligently to smooth the path and help children and families steer clear of the obstacles that confront them – abuse, neglect, and distress. Robins’ Nest has tackled each problem head-on, providing guidance and developing creative services that keep children safe, promote healing, ensure healthy child development and teach effective parenting. Through dedicated and compassionate partnering with staff, Board members, contributors and volunteers, Robins’ Nest has served as a life link for 2,634 children in the seven-county Southern Region of New Jersey. Because each child is unique and each life path different, our agency tailors its services to meet the individual needs of each child. Robins’ Nest provides solutions to the complex problems of families. Our agency’s broad array of services include: early intervention programs for first-time parents designed to prevent child abuse; intensive home-based services for troubled children and their families aimed at avoiding out-of-home placement; services for foster children that help them flourish and secure a permanent home of their own; clinical services to help foster and adoptive children adjust to their new homes; and outpatient therapy for children and adults. Robins’ Nest works with children in their own homes, in foster and adoptive homes, and in our agency’s group home. Our treatment staff supplements clinical treatment with services that address the underlying social problems of poverty, domestic violence and mental illness. Partnering with our agency’s many volunteers provides children with the companionship, emotional support and recreational experiences necessary to ensure quality of life and empower each child to fulfill his or her potential. Robins’ Nest is committed to creative, innovative solutions that will end pain and suffering for children. We remain dedicated to providing services that promote healing and enable children to soar. Your support and commitment to our mission is invaluable, and we thank you for your continued efforts on behalf of all children and families served by Robins’ Nest. Sincerely yours, Linda Metzger Board President Angela Estes, M.Ed. Executive Director/CEO 3 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 Highlights of 2004 During 2004, Robins’ Nest experienced a modest seven percent (7%) budget increase due to development and expansion of services. This growth was paralleled by a six percent (6%) increase in agency assets. New Programs and Services Robins’ Nest is committed to creating innovative solutions that will end pain and suffering for children. In 2004, the following new programs and services were added to improve the well-being of children. ■ The Transition to Adoption program helps foster parents who are willing to consider adopting to make an informed and early decision about adopting their foster child. After families commit to adopting, Master’s-level clinicians with specialized training in adoption issues provide individual and family treatment, education and support to facilitate a healthy transition to adoption. ■ Crisis Intervention Services provide crisis intervention and case management for youth and families facing a crisis. After addressing the immediate crisis, the Crisis Intervention Services counselor develops a plan of services and supports that links families with long-term care. ■ In response to the crisis in the public child-welfare system, the agency conducted safety assessment of the State of New Jersey’s foster homes to assess the safety and well-being of children, and ensure foster parents were meeting the children’s physical and emotional needs. Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 4 ROBINS’ NEST SOARING… Service Expansion With the receipt of several one-time grants, we increased the number of foster children who received consistent weekly supervised visitation with their parents and siblings, and also increased the number of families receiving intensive in-home family preservation services. Re-accreditation During the year, agency staff completed the year-long self-study process to prepare for the October site visit by the Council on Accreditation and Healthy Families America, the agency’s two nationally recognized accrediting bodies. Accreditation provides assurance to clients, donors and the community that the agency strives for excellence, that all services comply with the standards of best practice, and that the organization is managed efficiently and is fiscally sound. Leadership as a Child Welfare Service Provider The agency’s expertise in child welfare is recognized on the statewide level. The Executive Director Angela Estes continues to chair the Staffing and Outcomes Review Panel, which is one of three Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) Citizen Review Panels. The CAPTA Panels, which are required by federal law, are charged with examining the policies and procedures of the public child welfare system and determining the extent to which the system effectively meets its responsibility to protect children. In 2004, Angela Estes was appointed by the Commissioner of Human Services to serve on the Department’s Community Provider Task Force charged with addressing the issues of non-profit providers upon which the child welfare system relies for delivery of quality services for children. 5 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 READY FOR TAKE OFF! Robins’ Nest’s Transitional Programs for Young Adults “It was scary knowing I could no longer stay in my foster home. But thanks to my Life Link counselor, someone was there. She helped me set goals, secure scholarships so I could attend community college, and find a job. She has faith in me and never let me give up.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 6 I In 2004, Life Link and On My Own provided independent living programs for 77 young people aging out of foster care. These programs provide the following services: life-skills training, crisis intervention; individual and group counseling; independent living supervision; assistance with completion of their education; help in securing meaningful employment, medical care and safe housing; and most importantly, planning for the future. By the time these young people complete the program, they possess the skills and self-confidence that are critical for successful transition to adulthood. 7 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 CLEARING THE CLOUDS... Robins’ Nest Foster Children’s Services “Tommy already had been in three foster homes, and I didn’t want him to have to go to a fourth. But he was so out of control, and I didn’t know how I could keep him. Thanks to our Robins’ Nest therapist, Tommy and I both got the help we needed.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 8 I In 2004, 627 foster children experienced healing and stability through three services that are dedicated to ensuring that foster children do not languish in the foster-care system or get shuffled from one foster home to another. ■ Family Ties and Creative Visitation maintain the familial bond through weekly therapeutic visitation services. During the visit, professional staff address the issues that caused the child’s removal from the home, teach appropriate parenting skills, and promote healthy child-parent interaction. Creative Visitation also provides sibling visits in those situations where parents are no longer involved in their children’s lives. ■ Parent Support Services helps families resolve problems that caused their child’s removal so they can be reunited with their children. After the child is returned, staff support the child and parents to ensure successful family reunification. ■ Family Group Conferencing is a planning process by which agency staff work with the family to identify everyone who cares about the child (such as extended family members, neighbors, friends, teachers, professionals involved with the family, and clergy) and then bring them all together to develop a plan so that the children can be returned safety to their family of origin. ■ Behavioral Supports for Foster Children provides intensive home-based treatment which incorporates the foster parents into their foster child’s treatment. These innovative programs address the problems of children in foster care by achieving timely permanency and preventing the trauma of multiple placements. As a result, children have a family to call their own – either by being reunified with their families or being placed in a loving, adoptive family. 9 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 STICKING TO THE FLIGHT PLAN… Robins’ Nest Outreach – Direct to You “I didn’t know where to turn. Our son had already been hospitalized once, and we were afraid he was falling apart again. Then my husband lost his job, and I felt all was hopeless.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 10 I In 2004, Robins’ Nest services helped 562 children and their families who were struggling with economic hardship, mental illness, substance abuse and domestic violence. By combining clinical services with appropriate supports, the agency empowers parents so they can care for their children in their own homes. Services are individualized to meet the individual needs of the child and family, including individual and family therapy, around-the-clock crisis intervention, training in parenting skills and positive discipline, communication and problem-solving, skills-building, play therapy, and connecting families with other services. ■ Family Outreach utilizes licensed clinicians to provide weekly in-home psycho-therapy for children and their families to address issues of abuse and neglect or emotional, mental health and behavioral problems. ■ Family Connections provides intensive in-home services utilizing a team approach. A Master’s-level clinician provides individual and family therapy while a bachelor’s-level counselor provides parenting skills, links to address issues related to poverty, and other concrete services. ■ Family Preservation Services is an intensive, short-term crisis intervention program for children at imminent risk of removal. The four-week model infuses a high level of services to address the immediate crisis, stabilize the family, develop a plan for long-term services, as appropriate, and prevent out-of-home placement. ■ Child Family Team provides on-going case management services and brings together on an on-going basis everyone who cares about the child and family to develop plans which ensure children with serious emotional problems can remain in their own communities. 11 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 TAKING THE LEAP... Transitions from Foster Care to Adoption “John and I wanted to adopt our foster child, but we weren’t sure we had what it takes to care for a child with so many problems. Our therapist from Robins’ Nest helped us to understand Kevin’s pain and helped us learn the skills we needed to handle him. Now that we know we can do it, we have decided to make Kevin a permanent member of our family.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 12 I In 2004, Robins’ Nest adoption services helped 96 foster children successfully transition into a loving, adoptive home. ■ Behavioral Supports for Adoptive Families provides intensive home-based treatment for children in adoptive families whose behavioral and emotional problems may lead to a failed adoption. Therapists, who have completed specialized training in dealing with adoption issues, help adoptive parents to understand bonding issues as well as their child’s grief from loss and separation. ■ Transition to Adoption helps foster parents who are willing to consider adopting their foster children to make a timely and informed decision. After a decision is made, the therapist helps the family address the myriad of issues relating to adoption to ensure the child bonds with his or her new family. ■ Fost-Adopt works with families who have applied to become foster parents with the intent to adopt their child, after parental rights are terminated. While they await the placement of their child, the program helps them deal with their anxieties and guides them through the pre-placement process. After they receive the child, the program provides on-going support to ensure the child adjusts to his or her new home. In addition, home studies and safety assessments were conducted on 266 prospective and active foster homes to ensure the well-being of children in the State of New Jersey’s foster care system. 13 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 GUARDING THE NEST… Robins’ Nest Parenting Initiatives “I was alone, had no family support, and worried that my minimum-wage job would not enable me to meet my baby’s needs. But then the hospital told me about Healthy Families. My home visitor helped me get into a program so I could qualify for a better job, helped me get a driver’s license, taught me how to meet all of my baby’s needs. Now I have a decent paying job and know Jennie and I are off to a good start.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 14 I In 2004, Healthy Families home-visiting services helped 389 high-risk first-time parents and their babies. By providing support and education which emphasizes positive relations between the parents and child and promotes the family’s well-being, home visitors establish a trusting relationship with families, making certain that parents can meet their baby’s basic needs, attain vocational skills needed for viable employment, and acquire safe housing. Not only do home visitors ensure that the baby’s medical needs are met, but they teach parents how to foster their baby’s emotional and intellectual development. 15 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 SAFE LANDING… A place to call home – Robins’ Nest “ I was taken from my home when I was six because my parents abused me and my brother. My first foster home was pretty good, but when my foster dad died, my brother and I had to leave. My brother and I went to separate foster homes, and I was angry because I didn’t get to see Billy. I guess I gave them a pretty hard time. When they kicked me out, I kept bombing out of one foster home after another. That’s when I finally came to Robins’ Nest group home, and for the first time, I found a real home where I felt I really belonged.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 16 F For children growing up without parents, life can be traumatic and painful. As a result, many of these children develop self-destructive behaviors making it difficult to function at home, in school and in the community. For such children, the group home for girls and the specialized foster care program provide a community-based environment in a family-type setting which blends psycho-therapeutic clinical services with the nurturing and structure to help them turn their lives around and become contributing members of the community. Staff in the agency’s two residential programs, which cared for 22 children in 2004, recognize that each child is unique; thus, the treatment team develops an individualized service plan based upon each child’s history, strengths, emotional and behavioral problems, cultural background, and personal hopes and dreams. Individual, group and family therapy helps resolve family conflict and promote healing. Counselors supplement clinical treatment through daily counseling and goal-setting, skills-building, and modeling to ensure that each resident’s physical, emotional, social, intellectual, vocational and spiritual needs are met. The program helps each resident develop a sense of self-esteem, which is important for children whose past experience was not affirming. Staff utilize each resident’s creative or athletic interests to build a sense of self, and guide each resident to give back to the community by becoming a volunteer for another organization that helps children, the elderly, and other vulnerable members of the community. 17 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 NAVIGATING ROUGH TERRAIN… Danellie Counseling Center of Robins’ Nest “Our marriage was in real trouble, and I know our constant bickering was really hurting the children. Fortunately, a neighbor told me how Danellie had helped them when their daughter was suicidal, so we decided to call. Our therapist taught us new ways to communicate without being hurtful, and things are so much better now.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 18 I In 2004, 606 children and adults received out-patient services at the Danellie Counseling Center. The Center’s therapists are experienced, fully licensed clinicians who share the agency’s commitment to compassionate and competent services. The Center accepts third-party payment and is credentialed by the major health insurance carriers serving the South Jersey region. The Center offers individual, group and family therapy for children and adults as well as marital counseling. In addition, the Center’s Lean on Me program provides specialized services for children who are suicidal, suffer from eating disorders, or have been sexually abused. Any member of the community can benefit from Robins’ Nest’s expertise in providing services to children and families by contacting the Danellie Counseling Center. 19 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 SAFETY NET… We’ll Catch You When You Fall – Robins’ Nest “Danny has always been a handful, but when he got into that bad crowd, he got himself in trouble with the law. He might have ended up getting locked up in detention, which would have made things worse. But instead, the Judge put him in the Grounded program. The staff helped us set limits, made sure Danny abided by his home detention contract, and spent time talking to him about turning his life around. For the first time in years, my husband and I are hopeful that our son will turn his life around.” Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 20 I In 2004, the agency’s programs, which serve court-involved youth, helped to redirect the lives of 174 adolescents. Unlike most programs working with this population, Robins’ Nest services incorporate a counseling component to help youth set realistic goals and develop a plan to meet them. ■ Grounded is a home-detention program which provides an alternative to locking up non-violent juvenile offenders in detention facilities. Youth are required to follow a strict home-detention contract which requires they remain at home except during those hours when they are to attend school. Grounded counselors monitor at all hours of the day to ensure the youth are in full compliance with the home-detention contract. In addition, they spend time in counseling sessions to help the youth make better choices which will lead to a more productive life. ■ Connect Two and Crisis Intervention Services provide in-home counseling services to youth identified by the court system as “at-risk.” In-home counselors work with parents to improve parenting skills, set age-appropriate limits, and create a structure which meet their child’s needs. During individual counseling sessions, youth are encouraged to talk about their hopes and dreams and set realistic goals to achieve them. ■ The Educational Advocate program helps youth who are struggling in school either academically or behaviorally by working with the family and school to develop an academic program which meets the youth’s individual needs. Robins’ Nest programs for court-involved youth are designed to keep at-risk youth from entering the court system and youth with minor charges from becoming repeat offenders. By receiving early intervention with a strong counseling component, youth are making the changes necessary to redirect their lives, become accountable for their behavior, and make positive and productive choices for their future. 21 Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 Fundraising board members Officers Linda Metzger, President Susan Piersol, Vice-President Daniel Boychuck, Treasurer Joel Wiedermann, Secretary Directors Kenneth Clay Michael DiPaolo Steven Emerson Susan Henry Richard Hoffman Joan Lyons Kathie McCaffrey Margaret McCausland Brian McGlade Floyd McLean Elizabeth Rhodes James Smith, M.D. Linda Tipton John Ververelli Maryann Winters Phyllis Wood 2004 auction committee Susan Piersol, Chair Susan Henry, Co-Chair Nichole Barnhardt Kevin Becica Cyndi Bonner Anne Boychuck Cheral Canna Steven Emerson Nina Ferraro June Giumarello Joan Lyons Kathie McCaffrey Joseph Mendolia Joe Orlando Donald Steward Robins’ Nest Annual Report 2004 22 2004 gala committee Joan Lyons, Event Co-Chair Phyllis Wood, Event Co-Chair Bonnie Caprice, Administrative Assistant to Committee Nichole Barnhardt Tony Caprice Denise Christinzio Toni Christinzio Michael Fagan Mary Gatto Rob LaScala Steffany Lepore Kathie McCaffrey Margaret McCausland Sandi Merryfield Susan Piersol Elizabeth Rhodes Margaret Robinson Linda Russo Kathleen Sandone Judy Valianti Maryann Winters 2004 golf committee Mike DiPaolo, Event Chair J.C.

Looking to the Future Although the agency’s On My Own and Life Link programs are valuable resources for young people who turn 18 and have to leave foster care, the lack of a housing component has been a barrier for many of these young adults. It is evident that without a safe environment where they can live until they are ready to become fully independent, many of them will experience the plight of so many foster children who have become part of the homeless population. It is our vision to develop supportive housing to enable children leaving foster care to live in a safe home where they receive life-skills training, an appropriate level of supervision, and the emotional and clinical supports they need to fulfill their potential and become productive and contributing members of the community. The goal is to complete the first building for ten young people by fall 2005, with the remaining two buildings to house an additional twenty youth in subsequent years as funding becomes available.
