2011 – and then was the first
Beacon graduate to be placed in the kitchen at the Marriott
Resort in February of this year. He has just received a raise,
due to successful completion of three stellar months on the
job, in a night shift position and, now, on the day shift.
Through the support of his foster care provider since 2009,
LaDonna Jackson, Quintin has overcome the challenges of
being 29 years old with no high school diploma or GED, and
no job experience. He is managing a full life of responsibilities
and has paved the way for other Beacon graduates to seek
employment at the Starr Pass Marriott. Quintin is a hard
worker and a trailblazer. BRAVO, Quintin and La Donna.

Peggy
Peggy and her Adult Foster Care provider, Hepsi Anjuri,
are a team! This spring, Peggy has found two new positive
interests in the Tucson community which Hepsi is sharing
with her. When Peggy transitioned from Vida Nueva to
Hepsi’s foster home nine months ago, Peggy (age 47) was
bored by her daily life and lacked a productive place in the
community. She had difficulty being alone in a room and
required constant monitoring. She could not focus on any
activity for longer than a couple of minutes. Hepsi began
searching for a
volunteer position
where Peggy could
work on her peer

Connie and Yvonne, sisters who shared a residence on the
Navajo Reservation, came to Intermountain’s Adult Residential
Program in September of 2011. They were both in a mental
health crisis, and had joined into a suicide pact. Connie was
placed at Kiva House and Yvonne at Vida Nueva. The sisters
had never been separated and were in need of stabilization,
and some attention to their physical impairments, as well.
volunteers. Every Tuesday, they travel to the Tucson
facility and package emergency food boxes (bags) and
label them for distribution on the following Saturday.
Peggy’s writing skills and confidence have become
much stronger! This duo has also started an exercise
program at a local gym, riding bicycles (side by side)
twice a week, and walking on weekends. Peggy’s leisure
time is now productive, educational and healthy…filled
with purpose. Congratulations to Peggy and Hepsi.
Cory
In early May, ten
years after his first
introduction to
Intermountain, Cory
graduated from Tucson
High School at age
19. He also was one
of a dozen Tucson
adolescents who
received the 2012 Pima
Youth Awareness Award
from the Pima County
Foundation for Youth!

that was not her sister. The young women participated
in program and community activities, along with other
Vida residents, for one month. Finally, impressed by how
successfully Connie and Yvonne had practiced independence
and had built on their individual strengths and interests, the
direct care staff arranged for Connie and Yvonne to share
an apartment. In anticipation of their eventual discharge to
return to their home on the Reservation, the staff at Vida
Nueva helped the sisters maintain their Navajo residence
long distance by paying their bills, assisted Connie in getting
registered for Social Security benefits, and had their electrical
service reinstated at home.
Mayor Rothschild
and the Foundation
recognized Cory for
his perseverance
through his life’s
problems, for
striving to turn his
life around after a
very challenging
childhood.
Nominated by his CPS Case Manager for the award,
Mayor Rothschild and the Foundation recognized Cory
for his perseverance through his life’s problems, for
striving to turn his life around after a very challenging
childhood. Cory’s foster care provider, Jean Siaha, had
worked with him for the past 15 months to assure that
Cory graduated from high school so he could fulfill his
goal of attending Pima Community College to study
graphic design. Previously, Cory lived with a children’s
therapeutic foster family prior to turning 18.
Six months after their arrival at Intermountain, Connie and
Yvonne headed home with healthy new life skills and a lot
of friends and admirers in Tucson. The Kiva staff are always
honored to receive a call from Yvonne, who has checked in
via telephone five or six times since their return to the Navajo
Reservation in April.
He had come to Intermountain after it was discovered
that he and two brothers were living in a car with
his mother, without any exposure to grade school
or proper nutrition.
Intermountain is proud
of Cory and Jean and
the Musquiz Family for
all of the work they did
together to build an
improved life for Cory.

live a more sober life.
Once I started facing the
consequences for how I
was living my life, I began
to develop a general anxiety about where my life was
going. I was overwhelmed by all of the responsibility and
accountability, and began to use more substances and
run away. After spending a more extended period of time
in detention, I changed my perspective to be more open
minded to the concept of change. I did what I had to do
in order to get through it. I was enrolled in Touchstone’s
Multi-Systemic Therapy and Intermountain’s In-Home
Services Mosaic Program.
Morgan arrived at Sunrise Ranch in February of 2011, at age
14, from another group residence for seriously emotionally
disabled children. Having been adopted by an aunt and uncle
in her younger years, she has lived most of her life away from
her biological parents. As she matured, Morgan developed
extremely challenging boundary issues which included being
overly aggressive with people and objects. Oddly, her favorite
interaction with her staff and colleagues at Intermountain
was attempting to get a big hug, whether appropriate or not.
Morgan’s case plan at Sunrise focused primarily on improvement of her academic focus and performance, development
of appropriate expression of emotions (especially anger) and
social skills.

recognized as an Honors Student at her school! It was determined that Morgan was ready to “step down” to a Therapeutic Foster Care home. Her Child Family Team members were
so impressed with Morgan’s new social skills and the Intermountain staff were ecstatic to see her find a family. A big
hug to Morgan for showing the world how talented she is…
and succeeding in meeting her goals in such a brief time!
The Intermountain staff have provided me with skills to
get along better with my mom, given me someone to talk
to about my problems, and taught me ways to live a more
sober life. I’ve had periods of time when I lapse back into
my old way of thinking, but have learned ways to keep
myself in check. I’ve learned that I don’t need drugs to live
and I have more to care about than ever. I am working on
graduating from high school, having a relationship with a
beautiful girl and her son, and just being chill at my house
with my family.

Science Changes
Omar’s Life
The Sunrise staff discovered that
Omar liked to know how things
work, and he was enrolled in Physics
Camp in the summer of 2011, thanks
to the Foothills Service Club.
Sunrise Ranch is home to eight to ten children and adolescents who require a Level II placement in a nurturing,
homelike environment while stabilizing their behavior and
acquiring new self management skills. At about the same
time that Morgan arrived at Sunrise, so did 13 year old
Omar and his great big smile. Omar’s poor school performance highlighted a problem that he had in getting along
with his mother. The third of five children, Omar has a 16
year old brother with Cerebral Palsy and several younger
siblings with challenging behavioral issues, too.
Omar’s parents sought help from Pantano Behavioral
Health Services, and Pantano referred Omar to Intermountain for assistance with anger management, peer
interaction and social skill development. Omar’s residence
at Sunrise was inaugurated with ups and downs at school
and fits of rage that precipitated destructive pranks at the
group home and five school expulsions. The Sunrise staff
discovered that Omar liked to know how things work, and
he was enrolled in Physics Camp in the summer of 2011,
thanks to the Foothills Service Club.
He thrived there and built several simple machines of
which he was terribly proud. Omar’s next reinforcer was a
telescope, thanks to the generosity of an individual donor
who learned of his science prowess. Omar was off and
running…his school successes were paramount and his
housemates at Sunrise loved him, too! He had become an
excellent candidate for Therapeutic Foster Care and he and
his telescope were placed with a family in Tucson. Omar is
a true star!
Why are these people smiling?
It’s 7:00 a.m.!
Did You Know...
Did you know that Intermountain’s residential
programs for children and adults includes 32 homes
and apartments where clients reside while they receive
support services? We have a constant need for furniture
and home furnishings that you are recycling but still have
lots of life!
Eight Intermountain staff members recently completed the “Be
Well Program” offered by the Pima County Health Department’s
Program Coordinator, Brian Eller. For six Tuesday mornings
this spring, the staff arrived at the Harrison office at 7:30 a.m.
for a 30 minute brisk hike around the neighborhood and an
open discussion about a variety of health topics: physical
activity, nutrition, sun safety, diabetes and hypertension. All of
the participants really enjoyed the program and feel that the
benefits of exercise with their peers were tremendous! Health
and Wellness at Intermountain continues to be a priority
through the Walk and Talk program which will continue every
Tuesday morning! We welcome you to join the group!

When you redecorate a room in your home or change
your décor, did you know that:
• Intermountain needs your lightly worn sofas,
armchairs, and tables?
• Intermountain clients would appreciate your gently
used dressers and night stands?
• Intermountain kitchens would be warmer with your
outdated dinette set?
• Intermountain staff are always looking for dishes,
silverware, glassware, pots and pans?
Give Karen a call at 721-1887, extension 5239, if you have
items that are no longer needed at your house…and that
includes small appliances! She will schedule a pick up
that is convenient for you and send you a receipt that
will allow you to declare your donation on your 2012
Income Tax Return!
Congratulations to Our
Talented Staff and Clients
Jesse Wing Reese has assumed the position of
Clinical Director for all of the Intermountain programs!
She also has a key role in the Behavior Assessment
Services program that Intermountain contracted with
Pantano Behavioral Health to supply, which is comprised
of three service areas: Applied Behavior Analysis,
Functional Behavior Analysis, and Behavior Analysis
Training of paraprofessionals. A licensed Behavioral
Health Professional (BHP), she brings a great deal of
excitement to the expanding scope of Behavior Analysis
and Positive Behavior Support Services in Arizona and at
Intermountain every day!
Steve Adams, an adult Therapeutic Foster Care client
who resides with Victor Lopez, was featured in the Winter
2008 Intermountain View newsletter as he had been
named Vocational Rehabilitations’ 2008 Employee of the
Year. Steve continues to excel in his program, having shed
325 pounds, and has maintained his weight and exercise
program for four years now! He recently attended his
cousin’s wedding and his family was thrilled to see that
that his mental and physical fitness continues to improve.
Three of Intermountain’s finest, In-Home Program staff
who are assigned to the Sells Office and work with Tohono
O’odham children and adults, contributed services
recently to the Extended After-School Program at the
Indian Oasis Baboquivari Elementary School. Charles
Chear, Abel Ferreira and Maria Francisco
received certificates of gratitude for presenting a six
week ANTI-BULLYING WORKSHOP for young Tohono
O’odham children attending the after-school program.
They are proud to have been included in this communitybased educational effort organized by the school
administrators.
Lynn Lackner Hale, who came to Intermountain
in January 2000 as the Program Coordinator for Isleta
House, a Children’s Group Home, became Residential
Director for both Intermountain’s Children’s and Adult
Residential Programs in December. She served as the
Director for the Children’s Residential Program for the
past seven years, overseeing the operation of the four
children’s group homes in Tucson and serving 32 seriously
emotionally disabled children at one time. A Licensed
Independent Substance Abuse Counselor, Lynn was a
natural to assume the direction of Intermountain’s Adult
Residential Program, as well. All of the residences are
experiencing new growth under her tutellage! Thanks to
Lynn from all of the staff and clients who work together to
build positive, strength-based lifestyles in Intermountain’s
residential programs!
