meets with a senior in her
home. As a care manager, she
assesses the needs of seniors
and arranges friendly visits from
volunteers or respite for care
givers. Howey also assesses
the needs of seniors and
makes referrals to help arrange
services that are needed to
address risks and improve the
quality of life for her clients.
Every day the agency’s professional team of social workers, case managers, counselors and
nurses are visiting with hundreds of clients in urban and rural communities throughout
the Miami Valley. They are on the front lines of problem solving, helping those in need
find paths to address life’s most difficult circumstances.
Helping seniors find the services they need to be safe… Allaying the fears of young
women faced with a crisis pregnancy… Assuring couples that adoption is an attainable
option for creating new families…Offering support and assistance to those struggling to
overcome poverty…Counseling those disabled by depression and stress…Reaching out to
assist struggling parents, troubled children and refugees from war-torn countries….This is
the work of Catholic Social Services.
A private non-profit social service agency like ours is in a unique position to provide
caring and support that is personalized to meet the needs of a child, family or a senior
who lives alone. What we do is personal, and the empathy that propels our work is our
sincere response to the gospel call to serve those in need.
In this issue of Good News, we highlight our work on the front lines, ringing door bells
and offering an outstretched hand of hope. 70% of our Catholic Social Services staff
members are directly engaged in community-based services. They are social workers,
life coaches, nurses and counselors who offer professional, confidential service to help
improve the quality of life for their clients in the urban and rural communities throughout
our eight-county service area. They have helped to improve the lives of thousands of
Miami Valley residents.
You may not see a CSSMV building in your neighborhood, but it is very likely that
someone on your block has been touched by the work of our caring team. We hope
you will continue to share in our mission and support our agency as we adjust to social
change and the new and growing challenges that are impacting the Miami Valley. As
we look to the future…we believe our caring team will continue to be in the forefront,
answering God’s call to help those in need. Warm regards,
Laura J. Roesch

Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley
Outreach Services
Listening, Connecting and Encouraging
Every day the agency’s professional team of case managers,
counselors and nurses are assisting clients of urban and rural
communities throughout the Miami Valley. Catholic Social
Services’ professional staff provides eleven community-based
social services, a mission that places them on the front lines
of problem solving, helping those in need address life’s most
difficult circumstances.
Peggy Seboldt, CSSMV Director of Social
Services, who has led the development urban
outreach services in the Dayton area, believes
the person to person services offered by
CSSMV are invaluable.
“The increasing prevalence of single
parent families, incarceration and economic
instability has reduced family resources,”
explained Seboldt. “More families are
fragmented, and, for many families, nurturing,
supportive relationships are more difficult
to maintain under the stress of violence and
the impact of the drug culture. As we look
to the future, I believe it will be increasingly
important for us to listen, connect and

help motivate our neighbors to rise above
these social issues at critical times when
support and professional guidance can make
a difference. We have the ability to reach out
to help fragile families, vulnerable children
and isolated seniors.”
Kathy Sell, the Director of the
CSSMV Northern Office who oversees the
administration of agency’s services that
provides home-based care for over 1,400
seniors in the northern Miami Valley, is
also coordinating services to respond to
community trends.
“While the client needs in the rural areas
and small towns in the Miami Valley may be
different from Dayton, families are still in
need of services,” says Sell.“Throughout the
Miami Valley, at-risk populations, including
seniors and residents with disabilities are
increasingly more isolated from family
support as family members, especially the
children in the millennial and generation
X age groups, are moving from agricultural
areas to obtain employment opportunities.”
Funded by a blend of contractual
partnerships with local and state
governments and with private support
from United Way and donors, Catholic
Social Services has a history of successful
social service innovation and has been
able to attract a highly qualified team of
professionals. Many staff are attracted to the
agency because of CSSMV’s client-focused
service models.
Elizabeth Howey, a Senior Services
Assessor and Care Manager, elected to join
Catholic Social Services soon after college
graduation. She welcomed the opportunity to
help seniors and encourage volunteerism. As
a licensed social worker, Howey meets with
seniors to assess environmental and social
needs. She helps seniors understand the risks
that they face and explains the opportunities

“Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting
with a 94 year old woman who lives alone
with her cats, Lola and Charlie. We bonded
because we are both cat lovers…and it
helped that her cats instantly jumped into my
lap! She had come to a point in her life when
she recognized she needed to have someone
else in her home to help with a few chores.
She was going to put an advertisement in
the paper for a boarder. We discussed how
it might be dangerous to have an unknown
stranger in her home without having a
Stanley Jackson is a proud truck driver from
Alabama, who came to Dayton 2011 when he
married his childhood sweetheart. His first wife
and mother of his adult children
had passed away and his move to
Dayton was to be a new start for
the 53 year-old.
Serious back surgeries and
the slowdown in the economy
have been obstacles in his pursuit
of a new job.
“I had been looking for a job
that does not require heavy lifting,
and wasn’t getting anywhere. I
was really down. Then, I saw a flyer
from Catholic Social Services that
simply asked ‘Do you need help?’
I called the number and made an
appointment at CSSMV.
“Bridgette, (FSS Case Manager)
referred me to the Job Center and
has been helping me put together a
resume. She is showing me how to
apply for jobs on line and keeps telling me to have faith … I know she is
right. I do have a good attitude. It’s
just important not to give up!” says
Jackson.
“The doctors who operated on my
back told me I wouldn’t be able to
walk …but I prayed for God’s help.
Now, I am walking ten miles a day! With prayers
and help from from Catholic Social Services, I
am determined that there is a job out there for
me!”
background check. I explained that I could
introduce her to a trained volunteer who
will visit with her regularly. She listened, and
I am continuing to help meet her need for
companionship and home support.”
As a care manager for the Senior
Volunteer Outreach Program, Howey will
make sure that trained volunteer visitors who
like cats will be matched with the elderly
Catholic Social Services
client. She also will periodically visit to make
sure that the pairing of senior and volunteer
is enriching and satisfying for both parties.
“I am like a friend match maker,” says
Howey. “It is so rewarding to see the power
of friendship and how we can really make life
happier for the elderly.”
“The staff of CSSMV is assisting a record
number of clients at a time when resources
are more limited,” explained Seboldt. “And, at
the same time, we are continuing to maintain
the highest accreditation standards, excellent
consumer satisfaction scores and are
committed to competing as a cost-effective
service provider.”
As CSSMV looks to the future of
caring, the staff is pleased that
progress is being made:

Stabilization and Support (FSS) service
to provide information and offer private
consultation in the pantry. During the last six
months in 2012, they were able to help 233
families by offering information, referral and
assistance needed to help alleviate financial
crisis and emotional stress.
The staff is working to bolster its efforts
to help the urban poor. By working with
other providers in the community, the Pantry
and FSS staff members are increasing care
management and working with community
partners to develop nutrition classes,

the impact of a pregnancy is a life
changing experience for which they
are unprepared. Last year, the CSSMV staff of
case managers offered support to over 300
birthparents as they struggled with their new
responsibilities.
If a pregnant mother called for help
and wished to consider adoption, CSSMV
provided intensive counseling to help her
examine both parenting and adoption
choices. As a licensed adoption agency,
CSSMV offered material assistance, arranged
medical care and offered a full-range
adoption services. Counselors facilitated selfexamination and the exploration of available

43 year-old Schonya Green, a mother of three,
had worked for thirteen years as a nurse aide
when she had a car accident. Prior to her accident, she had plans to move to a safe neighborhood with two friends. Her hospitalization and
medical bills made it impossible to go forward
with the move.
She had already cancelled
her old lease. She found herself
homeless with young children. In
a panic, she called Catholic Social
Services.
She was relieved and really
surprised that a care manager at
the agency took the time to talk
with her and learn about her circumstances, complicated by child
support and health issues. The CSSMV
worker advocated for the family and
helped Green find emergency housing
and beds for her children. She also arranged a pre-school admission for her
4- year old.
“It is so good to know that there are
people who help and cared about my kids
and our wellbeing,” says Green.

assisted birthmothers as they made the
decision to complete an adoption plan. In
addition, the adoption staff assisted Miami
Valley couples with international adoptions
which brought children into their families
from China, Russia and Korea.
While most pregnant women are
committed to parenting, many recognize that
they are not prepared and seek help from
CSSMV to meet the needs of their baby. In
these cases, a ParentLink case manager is
assigned to provide education and support to
help new parents cope with the challenges
ahead. Last year, staff members regularly met
with young mothers and their babies in their
homes. A staff member also assisted teen
mothers through the Lifestages-Samartan
Center for Women before and after birth. As
parent education specialists, the ParentLink
team offers information, makes needed
referrals and assures that safety and basic
baby care responsibilities are understood.
And, as they establish a positive relationship
with their young clients, they also encourage
new parents to create a plan for advancing
their education and employment prospects
to give future stability to young families. (See

The Early Childhood Program, a service

T
he CSSMV Refugee Resettlement
program in recent years has been
challenged to maintain its lifesaving obligation to the U.S. international
resettlement effort. Funding cuts in the
national program and the unprecedented
hardships endured by the refugees who were
seeking asylum challenged the agency staff
as many refugees required intensive case
management as they struggled to overcome
years of trauma and life in refugee camps.
Meeting the challenge, the refugee staff, with
the help volunteers and church communities,
has successfully found partnerships to help
continue its service. Last year, the refugee
resettlement team was able to assist 140

hen 23 year-old Natasha Peters began
to recall her most vivid childhood memories,
her eyes welled with tears. Her three year-old
daughter, Dominique, instinctively reached
for a tissue and placed it in her mother’s hand
saying,“Don’t cry. It’s okay.”
Her child’s encouragement put a smile
on Natasha face as she gave her daughter a
long hug. “You know I always said that to my
mom. I can remember how I wanted to help
her be happy. Even when we were in foster
care, I always knew she loved us,” explained
Natasha.
The young mother recounted the
journey through foster homes that she and
her siblings shared, a journey that began
when she was her daughter’s age. She vividly
remembers the loneliness, the fear of physical
abuse and the constant sadness – not feeling
whole without her mother and father.
When she was united with her mom
in first grade, happier childhood times
were mixed with times of instability that
she attributes to her mother’s battle with
addiction. Her mother eventually overcame
drugs, and Natasha grew to trust and gain
strength from her love and support.
As she became a mother, Natasha vowed
that she would always provide a stable life for
her children. Her resolve was challenged just

months after Dominique was born. Her mom
died, leaving her to recoil into the loneliness
that nearly overcame her as a child. At this
very low point in her life, she was able to
reach out for help from CSSMV’s ParentLink
program.
When she called Catholic Social
Services’ ParentLink, she was invited to
participate with other young mothers in a
parenting support group. She found that
that there are many mothers like herself who
want to make a better future for their families
— but they, like her, realize that they need
help to achieve their goals.
Rita Howard, Natasha’s ParentLink
Life Coach, explains,“Young mothers who
have not experienced being part of a
nurturing, stable family need to develop a
new understanding. The goal of ParentLink
is to build a new perception of family life by
offering young mothers personalized support
and education.”
Rita routinely visits with Natasha in her
home. They talk often on the phone, and
Rita encourages her to call whenever she has
questions. Recently, they have spent several
visits talking about appropriate discipline
techniques to correct her three year-old.
Natasha also relies on Rita’s help
when the day to day problems can seem
insurmountable.“Last month, my 6 month-old
daughter, Jayla, decided to chew on the last
coupon for her very expensive infant formula.
I called Rita in a panic, and she rescued us
and delivered a can of formula… I really did
not have the money to buy it, and my baby
was hungry. I know it was not a big thing,
but for us, it was everything!”

same time, helping young parents focus
on their big life goals is the purpose of the
ParentLink program. Rita and Natasha work
on achieving parenting education goals.
Natasha is completing 22 units of lessons
in the Nurturing Parent Curriculum. She
takes pre and post tests to measure her
parenting knowledge and her retention of
the information that is discussed when Rita
reviews child development topics.
Natasha has also created a future plan
for herself and her family. Her goal is to be
self-sufficient and to afford her own home for
her family. Rita and Natasha have spent many
hours reviewing the paths that are available
to reach her goals.To aide in the journey,
Rita helps her client by making referrals to
community resources and advocates for
Natasha to help her overcome obstacles.
As Natasha reflects on the progress she
is making, she is grateful for the support

that she has been given. “My ParentLink
Life Coaches have encouraged me to
have confidence in myself and helped me
understand that there are good people in
our lives that can help us through the rough
times, explains Natasha.“I have come to rely
on my friend Georgia, Jayla’s godmother. She
is someone who has given us a home and is
making it possible for me to care for my girls,
hold a full-time job and go to school.”
Rita is also helping to guide Natasha
through the process of gaining paternal
support and establishing visitation. She has
also helped her connect with her daughter’s
paternal grandmother who lives in Cincinnati
and is able and willing to help the young
family.
By encouraging Natasha to reach out
to establish positive relationships with
friends and family members who support her
aspirations and dreams for the future, Rita is
working to help build a foundation for future
stability and self-sufficiency.
Natasha greatest joys in life are her two children,
Jayla and Dominique. “I work and I study because
they are my world,” says Natasha.

According to Rita, the young mother’s
progress is inspiring to others:“Natasha has
become a star student in so many aspects of
her life. During the past two years, she has
successfully completed parenting classes,
obtained an Associate’s Degree and taken on
a full-time job as a member of the janitorial

Natasha has also inspired other young

program. “I have been very down. I have
been so low that I could not leave my house.
I don’t want to be there again, and I want
others to know that someone will care and

W
hen Rukia stepped
off the plane at Dayton
International Airport, she took
a deep breath and clutched
the white plastic bag with her
immigration papers and a few
possessions. Her thoughts
raced as she followed other
passengers. She did not know
what would be around the next
turn as she walked through the
long terminal hallways. Her
optimism and hopeful enthusiasm kept her
moving forward to the unknown.
She and her family had fled from Somalia
and Ethiopia to the safety of a Kenyan refugee
camp run by the United Nations. Rukia can
not remember life in her homeland. When
she arrived in Dayton, she left behind the
memories of years spent within the refugee
camp where she waited with thousands of
her countrymen for food, medical care—and
a chance for a life beyond the wire fences. To
be selected and approved for resettlement by
the U.N., the U.S. State Department and the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is not
unlike winning the lottery—millions seek
asylum from war-torn countries and less than
one percent of those who apply are given
authorization to come to the United States.
Often fleeing persecution, refugees are
without the luxury of bringing personal
possessions or opportunities that would
prepare them for life in a new culture.
“When refugees arrive, many come with
the notion that the prosperous American
life will immediately be available,“ explains
Dorothy Balser, Manager of the CSSMV
Refugee Resettlement Program. “From the
time the refugee is picked up from the
airport, our case managers begin to provide
acculturation and support. This includes
dispelling the myth that everyone in America
is rich…and helping the refugee understand
the reality that they must become selfsufficient as soon as possible.”
The U.S. government allots each refugee
a small per capita grant intended to meet
their basic needs in their first 30-90 days in
the United States. Beyond that, refugees must
“Many in Dayton have worked so hard to
make this transition easy for me, I cannot
thank them enough.” — Rukia
Good News, Winter 2012
Rukia’s
Story
After fleeing Ethiopia
and living in a Kenyan
refugee camp for nearly
20 years, Rukia was given an opportunity to
begin a new life in the United States in 2012.
The Kenyan camp where she grew up was
crowded and at times challenging, but it
was among the most organized in Africa.
As a young child, she was able to take
advantage of educational opportunities. She
became fluent in English and several African
languages. She also was chosen to receive
training as a camp social worker and assisted
within the camp to help others who had
medical and mental health needs.
In Kenya, Rukia worked with children who
were impaired due to mental and physical
handicaps. Her commitment to help those
with disabilities has continued in America.
“Mental and physical disabilities are not well
understood in my culture, many people think
it is contagious or that it is bad luck wished
on them,” explains Rukia. “I still encourage
others to learn and help our refugees
understand mental/physical illness and the
importance of pre-natal care.”
Since her arrival in the US, Rukia has
obtained employment at the University of
Dayton with Alpha and Omega cleaning
agency. She is grateful for the support she
has received from Catholic Social Services
and is supporting the Refugee Resettlement
as a volunteer interpreter, helping those who
are beginning their acclimation to America.
“Life has gotten easier with the help
of my friends and co-workers,” Rukia said.
“My friends have given me good advice and
the people at Catholic Social Services have
helped in many ways. They play a large role
in my life by helping find my house and giving
advice when I need it. Many in Dayton have
worked so hard to make this transition easy
for me, I cannot thank them enough.”

complete the process to qualify for public
assistance or government programs. The
public assistance available to refugees is no
different from the assistance received by
Americans who live in poverty.
According to Balser,“Newly arrived
refugees are assisted in their search for
sustainable employment. Still, once the
financial support cap is reached, refugees
must rely on their own employment income
to manage their expenses. Charitable
benefactors and church communities have
often stepped up to provide additional
assistance and support to those who are
experiencing unique hardships. Cash and
in-kind donations are a significant help
for supplementing the small amount the
government provides.”
“For decades, the agency has
successfully acclimated refugees from
almost every continent,” says Balser. “The
Dayton community has embraced our
refugees. Community volunteers enjoy
their experience as mentors and tutors and
have expressed that this new relationship
has enriched their lives and the lives of
their families. We have also cultivated local
employers who are willing to offer entrylevel positions to our refugees. Employers
observe that our refugees welcome
the opportunity to obtain work and
the chance for a job upgrade. They are
excellent employees!”
In recent years, the challenge
to quickly propel refugees into the
mainstream of American life has gained
a new level of difficulty as the impact of
the inhumane treatment and extended
living experiences in refugee camps
have resulted in health problems, and
the impact of traumatic experiences
has created obstacles to overcome. In
some countries of origin, refugees have
experienced torture and had to endure
life-threatening hardships as they were
forced to continually run from insurgent
forces determined to kill. Many arriving
refugees come from countries where they
have endured years of sectarian violence
without opportunities for education or
work.
Last year, the refugee resettlement
team welcomed 140 new refugees who
arrived from Africa, South Asia, Latin
America and the Middle East. The arrival
pattern is expected to continue through
2013.

A refugee is a person who has fled or who
has been forced to leave the security of their
home country due to a well-founded fear
of persecution on account of race, religion,
nationality, membership in a particular social
group, or political opinion.
Millions have spent decades in refugee camps,
unable to return home. Oftentimes they leave
suddenly and with few possessions.
Individuals who are granted refugee status
overseas by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security are admitted to the U.S. for
resettlement. National voluntary resettlement
agencies, such as the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and their affiliates,
are guided by the U.S. Department of State
to provide resettlement services that will help
refugees gain self-sufficiency as quickly as
possible after arrival in the United States.
CSSMV is an affiliate of USCCB for providing
refugee resettlement services in Dayton. It is a
ministry that began in the 1920’s as the agency
was formed to assist European refugees who
were arriving from Ireland, Germany and Italy.
Newly arrived refugees in Dayton receive
supportive services from CSSMV’s Refugee
Resettlement Program for placement in initial
furnished housing, a cultural orientation
overview, employment assistance and linkage
to community resources such as referral to ESL
services and medical services.
During 2012, the Refugee Resettlement
Program of CSSMV received 140 refugees.
The largest number of arriving refugees
welcomed into the Dayton community came
from the countries of Bhutan, Eritrea and
Ethiopia. Other represented countries were
Zaire, Rwanda, Burundi, Columbia and Iraq.
This arrival pattern is expected to continue
through 2013.

Children Experience Summertime
The Miami Valley Family Care Center, a highly ranked academic
center, has rigorous expectations for the preschool and
kindergarten students at the center. But, during the summer
session, in addition to reading and math enrichment, the
emphasis is on seeing the community and enjoying the physical
activities of summer.
Students have been enjoying field days, zoo trips, water
park visits, zumba lessons, ice cream at Young’s Jersey Dairy…
and even a Columbus Clippers Baseball game.
“We work to achieve a balance between learning and giving
opportunities for our students to enjoy the simple fun that every
child deserves,” explains MVFCC Director Susannah Johnson.
“Our children also learn as they see their community and gain
experiences outside their neighborhoods.”

VERSAILLES - The Early Childhood Program,
a community service funded by private
donors for the past three years, is successfully
assisting hundreds of children in daycare
centers in the northern Miami Valley area.
The first study of the outcome indicators
from the Early Childhood Program has been
completed. Initial data compiled from surveys
of parents and teachers and the observations
accumulated by CSSMV child behavior
specialists have indicated the program is
having a significant positive impact on the
behavior and school readiness of young
children in the participating schools.
Since the introduction of the program
daycare centers in Miami, Darke, Shelby and
Auglaize counties, twenty daycare centers
have utilized the support and guidance of
CSSMV counselors. Services have included
professional family counseling, child
assessment and education programs for
daycare staff members.The initiative’s main
objectives included the promotion of healthy
social and emotional development in young
children and the offer of effective early
detection and intervention strategies. Since
its inception, the CSSMV program staff has
assisted teachers in addressing everything
from speech and behavioral issues to
classroom structure and routines.
“Children reviewed in the outcome
study collectively showed a 30% increase in
positive protective factors, a key indicator in
our behavior measurement tools,” explained
Rick Williams, CSSMV Lead Therapist. In
addition, feedback from parents and teachers
has been excellent.
With continued support from the
community, Williams hopes to extend the
program in the northern Miami Valley during
the 2013-14 school year.
For more information about the CSSMV
Early Childhood Program, area residents may
call 800-521-6419.
CSSMV staff members work with parents
and teachers to provide support and
recommendations to help assure that children are
prepared for academic success.

Good Shepherd Legacy Society Reunion
Slated August 21
T
he Good Shepherd Legacy Society is a
unique group of friends who have found that
they share a hope for the future. They would
like their life and work to have a lasting
and meaningful impact…and they trust
that Catholic Social Services will be a good
steward of their goodwill.
This special society of agency friends
will gather in Dayton for the group’s annual
celebration on Wednesday, August 21 at
Coco’s Bistro on Warren Street.
Bernie Fullenkamp, the current President
of the CSSMV Board of Trustees, and his
wife Durelle, a CSSMV Emeritus Trustee, will
help host the event. As society members and
volunteers who have helped to guide the
mission of the agency, they are encouraging
others to consider membership in the Good
Shepherd Legacy Society.
“We hope that our volunteer efforts
have helped those in need in our community
and we are pleased to know that our
CSSMV’s Executive Director Laura Roesch
shared an update with Emeritus Executive
Directors Ronald Eckerle and Elaine Jelly at
the 2012 reunion. As members of the Good
Shepherd Legacy Society, the agency leaders
are supporting the mission of service for future
generations.
22
contributions will continue to help in the
future with our planned gift to the agency,”
explained Fullenkamp.
Robert and Anita Rankin, parents who
adopted two children from CSSMV, are among
the charter members who formed the society
eight years ago. Anita, a past board member
and volunteer with the agency’s development
department, has encouraged others to
consider the planned giving process to gain
the financial and philanthropic benefits of
legacy giving.
“The agency has certainly enriched
our lives,” contends Rankin.“We are pleased
to express our gratitude by supporting the
Legacy Society as an opportunity to share the
blessings we have been given.”
Volunteers, former clients, agency staff
members and retirees have become members
of the Good Shepherd Legacy Society.
Employees and retirees make up about a third
of the membership.
The only requirement to join the
Good Shepherd Legacy Society is a verbal
confirmation that a planned charitable gift
has been arranged to support the mission of
Catholic Social Services.The size of the legacy
gift, the type of charitable vehicle to be used
and the CSSMV program area that will benefit
are details that are unique to each member
and known only to the member.
“Legacy giving is commonly provided
through a bequest in a Will. Some society
members may make charitable trust
or gift annuity arrangements,” explains
Development Director Regina Estep.“Others
have qualified for membership by listing
CSSMV as a beneficiary of a portion of a life
insurance policy. We do not ask for a specific
donation amount or require official legal
documentation... only a verbal confirmation.”
Potential Legacy Society members have

access to free professional advice. The staff
of the Dayton Foundation Legacy Partnership

can help Catholic Social donors maximize
their giving, assure retirement income and/or
