2011 Annual Report - Children`s Bereavement Center of South Texas

2011 Annual Report
FROM THE board chair and PRESIDENT / CEO
Perhaps they are not stars,
but openings in the Heavens
where the love of our lost ones
pour through and shines upon us
to let us know they are happy.
Dear Friends,
As leaders of this mission, we believe the spirit of
healing lives here. We have been endowed with the
distinct privilege of helping grieving children find
healthy ways to move forward after being devastated
by the loss of a loved one.
During our 15th year of service, we served 1,137 children and their accompanying caregivers in Peer Support Groups
and Counseling Services. We also helped 65 additional students in a pilot school-based outreach program. In addition we
trained 547 community members through our Professional Training and Continuing Education Workshops. In total, your
support has helped us serve 1,749 clients in 2011.
Our goal is to make certain that the CBCST continues to be a safe haven for children in need of grief support in perpetuity.
Achievement of that goal will require the support of every person who reads these words.
UNKNOWN
With 97% of our revenue coming from individual donors, private foundations and local corporations, we must carefully
steward every dollar to provide the greatest possible level of service with the least possible amount of expense. Our average
cost to deliver one session (one hour) of service was $139 per client in 2011. That number was 44% higher just five years ago.
We believe the spirit of healing lives here at The Children’s
Bereavement Center of South Texas. We hear a calling to
help all children reinforce positive connections with their
memories of lost loved ones. We use our home as a tool for
guiding children through the grief process. It provides us the
room to administer support and provides the children the
freedom they need to heal within a protected environment.
As we grow, we continue to maximize our operating efficiency while maintaining quality in our service delivery. As donors, that
is what you can expect from us. As leaders of this mission, we are determined to continue delivering on that promise so that
we may earn your support year after year.
As we seek to decrease the gap in service for children with unresolved grief, we will also prepare ourselves to
accommodate those who have yet to experience such heartbreak. And, with your help, we will continue to be the primary
resource for children challenged by loss.
Sincerely,
F. Michael Wood, Jr.
Board Chair
Every component of our facility is used to promote healing for grieving children. The star wall at The Children’s Bereavement
Center of South Texas (CBCST) provides children with one of many opportunities to memorialize their loved ones by using our
physical space as a canvas. By writing the initials of their loved one on a star and then placing that star among the many others,
Traci B. Gomez
President / CEO
we are able to diminish isolation and create unity for children from their very first visit to our house. Each star pictured here
symbolizes the light from everyone who has lived, all who are living now and all who will come after us. The wall itself provides a
visual representation of how we are all connected. It reminds us that our personalities, relationships, experiences, and memories
are what, ultimately, link us all together as part of the human experience.

HISTORY
In 2011, the CBCST celebrated 15
years of service to our community.
The vision for this organization was born in the heart of our founder,
Martha Atkins. While taking an Educational Psychology course at UTSA,
led by the late Professor Dr. Larry Golden, Martha was assigned the task
of writing a grant to create a children’s service that didn’t exist in San
Antonio. She made her case for a bereavement center for children. When
her graduate paper was returned, she saw that she had received an “A”
along with a note from Dr. Golden saying, “You really must pursue this worthwhile endeavor.” With her passion ignited, and a
little bit of seed money, Martha made her dream a reality. With a central office based out of the trunk of Martha’s car and some
program space provided by a few local churches, the CBCST offered the first of its services to grieving children back in 1997,
with a total of 15 families participating in peer support groups.
From those humble beginnings, the Center has grown to be a healthy, viable organization that serves more than 1,200
children and their caregivers who are mourning the death of a loved one each year. The organizational model adopted by the
CBCST is considered by youth-centered grief support experts to be among the most progressive in the nation and has been
replicated by over 200 agencies across the country. Over the past 15 years, the children and their families who have come to
the Center in search of healing, have left their marks on us and on the children who will come after them. They hang photos
of their loved ones on our walls. They paint pictures and write messages that are left here so the “new kids” will know they are
not alone. In the words of our Clinical Director, Patricia McNaught, “The trust and freedom to love again after tragedy does
not come easily to those who mourn. Our home-like environment surrounds those lonely in painful grief, with support and
compassion so they can find the courage and strength to move through the grieving process.”
MISSION
The missions of the CBCST is to foster healing for grieving youth, their families and the community through peer support
programs, counseling, training, education and outreach. The CBCST is the only provider of FREE, open-ended grief support
programs for children, teens and young adults in San Antonio and the surrounding communities of South Texas.
PURPOSE
Unresolved grief is often manifested as physical illness, depression, aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity, violence, alcohol and
drug abuse, decreased academic performance and many other maladaptive problems and disorders. Our programs are
dedicated to helping children and families, from every social and economic circumstance, process the profound psychological
and emotional challenges of death and loss in a healing environment.
Our staff and volunteers utilize expressive therapeutic techniques that incorporate art, writing, music and movement,
Just like we do in our own homes, we hang pictures of family
on the walls at the CBCST. Our memory walls give the children
who come here an opportunity to add photos of their loved
ones who they have lost. The photos remain here even after
the families we have helped no longer need the CBCST.

We use climbing to metaphorically place kids at the
base of their journey through the pain of grief. We
use the concept of climbing upward or across as part
of the natural path toward healing. It represents their
“last look” backward before they move forward.
We help kids move forward with their memories, rather than without

In Narrative Therapy, we use journals, storyboards
and collages as tools to provide grieving children a
voice — they can express themselves without having
to verbalize how they feel.
When a young person is grieving, nonverbal communication can
provide a less invasive opportunity to reach deep inside and discover
an innate, internal ability to cope with stress, anxiety and pain. Recovery
is aided when inner coping mechanisms are recognized — as such,
writing and storytelling are used to bring about inner strength.
Self-efficacy...found in the crash of a wave.
Once you find your strength within, you are better equipped
to allow in feelings of pain. It gives you the freedom necessary to
allow the wave of grief to crash all over you. Pictured in the background is
a symbol of that wave of grief...when it hits, you fall to the bottom. You find
that, under the surface, it is peaceful; but you rise back up with resistance
to the force that gives you struggle. You learn that the journey back to the
surface does not drown or overwhelm you...you realize that once you stop
your resistance, you can float within it...and survive it.

During Sand Play Therapy each tray provides a safe,
protected boundary, which helps keep children selfdirected, focused, and in control of what objects they
choose and where they place them in the sand.
By using miniatures as symbolic representations of people, places and
things, children are given an opportunity to connect the symbolic world
Sand Play Therapy is used at
the CBCST to help children
express their powerful
feelings of grief. The sand trays provide
a tactile experience for kids along
to the physical world through the use of concrete materials. There is no
fear of verbal reprisal or of making anyone sad or angry when using the
sand tray. By way of touching, pouring, hitting, manipulating, burying,
smoothing, and relinquishing, children can represent their feelings that
may otherwise be too painful to describe through the use of language.
This technique allows the individuality of each child and their
unique interpretation of the death experience to unfold in a nonthreatening and non-judgmental way.
with the ability to explore and
communicate non-verbally.

Music and Dance Therapies are
designed to cultivate sensory motor
capacities that have been disrupted
by a traumatic experience.
Music, as a therapeutic healing
tool, promotes the restoration of
expressive language after a traumatic
experience. It stimulates areas deep within
the brain where emotions are processed.
Music not only elicits memories,
but it also allows protected
and concealed emotions the
freedom to be released in a
manner that feels safe and
comforting to children.
10 A The Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas
A great deal can be learned about how a child is processing trauma
and grief by observing body movement. Music and dance therapies
are founded on the basis that movement and emotion are directly
related. In grief, people are often comforted by music. Songs and
sounds elicit memories of lost loved ones. Music provides a medium
by which feelings are freed without the use of words. As with music,
Dance Therapy is also a form of expressive therapy. Dance allows the
individual to express new ways of being. The use of movement and
dance can be very therapeutic for many emotional,
cognitive and social conditions. Dance Therapy follows
the principle that movement reflects personality and
ultimately the unity of mind, body and spirit that can
be achieved through dance. Both therapies can help
provide wholeness and healing.

RIGHT MAGE
Volunteer recruitment and development is imperative to the success of our agency. The CBCST does not charge a fee for peer
support programs; and as a result, we rely heavily on the tireless efforts of our interns, practicum students and community
volunteers who commit more than 10,000 hours annually and make it possible for us to serve more children and families. Our
valued volunteers serve in the following capacities: support group facilitators, greeters, dinner sponsors, event coordinators,
and special project volunteers.

2011 Annual Report A 17
At the end of each support group, our families, volunteers and staff all circle
together to sing our CBCST song. Through the joining of hands, we symbolize
the support we offer each other despite the pain of loss. We find hope with each
lyric and leave the house feeling fortified in our grief journey toward healing.
We stand together
Lean on each other
We stand together
Hand in hand
Cry in the sad times
Laugh in the glad times
We stand together through it all
