Dear Friend of ACS, 2013 was a year of tremendous growth and change for ACS. Thanks to your sustained and generous support, we continued to serve children, teens, and young adults in our residential programs, but we also added community-based programs that work to prevent abuse before it begins. And we are already serving more people through our community-based programs than through our residential programs. With Strong Start, Foster in Austin, and Care Academy (which opened its doors in February 2014), ACS is working to strengthen families and keep kids safe in their homes. And the launch of LIFT: An Alliance to End Abuse in collaboration with SafePlace has expanded the services available to the people we serve in both agencies, and enables us to begin to address the problem of abuse in families on a much larger scale. Why is this so important? Because the truth is that we’ll never stop violence by responding after it’s already happened. And as essential as it is to provide day-to-day support and healing to children, teens, and young adults in our residential programs, it’s just as important to work today to prevent thousands more from needing those services in the future. In fact, we’re so committed to working to end child abuse before it begins that we’ve made the decision to change something fundamental about our organization in the coming year: our name. This will be the last report you’ll ever receive from the Austin Children’s Shelter; in the future, we’ll be known as Austin Children’s Services (check out the back cover to see our full line-up of programs and services!). The name Austin Children’s Services reflects our commitment both to the residential services we’re already known for providing, but also to these new approaches and community-based programs that do much more than simply provide shelter. We’ll never waver from our commitment to giving kids a safe place to heal and recover. But now we’re also working to prevent them from ever getting hurt in the first place. Your partnership in our work enabled ACS to serve more people in 2013 than ever before. For that, and for your commitment to the safety and well-being of children in our community, I thank you. Sincerely,
Kelly White Chief Executive Officer
EMERGENCY SHELTER Emergency shelter is available for children from birth to age 18 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. The program is built around the idea that kids who have experienced trauma deserve to feel safe, listened to, and protected. Individual and group therapy, medical and dental care, and other services critical to healing and success are provided to every child who walks through our doors.
Cold. Terrified. On the run. It was a cold winter morning when the ACS receptionist arrived, still early enough to be dark outside. So at first she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her when she saw a large bundle resting in the front doorway. But when she got closer, she realized it was a young woman, maybe 18 or 19, wrapped in a blanket. She was shivering uncontrollably. Once she got warm, bits and pieces of her story began to emerge. She remembered being in Florida, and in Tennessee before that. She didn’t want to talk about what they had made her do, or how they had punished her when she refused. She wouldn’t say how she got away. She came to ACS because she’d been there once before, as a young girl, and she remembered it as a place where she felt safe. For a long time, she couldn’t stop crying. The first step was a shower, a hot meal, and a warm bed. She rested, and she healed, and she began to find her strength again. Now she has a chance to build a new life, thanks to your support of Emergency Shelter at ACS.
ACS’ Emergency Shelter program served
children and teens in 2013, with the longest stay of 123 days and shortest of 1 day.
TRANSITIONAL LIVING Teens and young adults, ages 17-21, build a pathway to a successful independent life at ACS’s Transitional Living Program. Living in a group setting with a full kitchen that allows them to learn essential life skills, residents also get help with education or employment planning. Individual and group therapy, medical and dental care, and other supports are also available.
She had everything going for her, except parents who cared. At 17, Caroline was on track to graduate from high school, and had been accepted into the college of her choice. She was even being considered for a spot on the school’s basketball team. Nearly singlehandedly, she had avoided the pitfalls that had tripped up her parents, including teen pregnancy and addiction. But soon after her 18th birthday, her parents threw her out of the house. She was sleeping in shelters and on friends’ couches when her school called ACS. Caroline came to live in the Transitional Living Program, where she got the support she needed to finish strong and prepare for college. She amazed everyone with her resilience and her drive. Now she’s in the dorms, making a new life for herself. She checks in often, looking for help in selecting her courses, managing her money, or planning for summers and school holidays. She knows she’s got people looking out for her, thanks to your support of the Transitional Living Program at ACS.
The Transitional Living Program served
teens and young adults in 2013, with the longest stay of 4 yrs, 70 days and shortest of 11 days.
TEEN PARENT Young parents with a history of abuse or neglect often don’t have good examples of positive or effective parenting skills to use with their own children. At ACS’ Teen Parent Program, young parents learn effective skills and strategies, while receiving the support they need to work toward their educational or vocational goals. The ultimate goal? Breaking the cycle of violence, and building a strong and successful family.
From chaos, a new beginning. “Chaos” had been the best word to describe Tara’s home life, ever since she was born to a teen mom with a drug habit. A childhood spent on other people’s couches while her mom chased her addiction was just the beginning. By the time Tara was 15, she and her mother had been arrested together on drug charges. By the time she was 16, she was pregnant and living with a boyfriend. But the birth of her son, Braden, changed everything. Tara left her boyfriend, quit using drugs, and moved into ACS’ Teen Parent Program. There she learned for the first time how to nurture a child and provide a stable, loving environment that fosters healthy growth. She also received the support she needed to get her GED and begin working toward a Certified Nursing Assistant’s license. Tara says she knows what she wants: nothing she’s already had. No couch-surfing, no drugs, no chaos. Thanks to your support of the Teen Parent Program at ACS, she’s on her way.
ACS’ Teen Parent Program served
23 parents and 24 children in 2013, with the longest stay of 565 days and shortest of 8 days.
RESPITE CARE Temporary, non-routine respite care of children helps parents cope with the stress of caring for children with emotional or developmental disabilities, or provides foster parents a short reprieve when needed.
A little boy given a chance to heal and recover. Ronnie was staying with his mom at SafePlace, and it was clear from the beginning that the 10-year-old boy had been severely traumatized by what had happened at home. The SafePlace children’s staff recommended a time-out, to allow him to get the help and specific care he needed, away from the overwhelming needs of his mom. So Ronnie came for a respite stay at ACS, a short-term commitment that would give this traumatized family some breathing room. In his time at ACS, Ronnie felt safe enough to communicate his needs with staff. This little boy needed serious therapeutic help, and thanks to the careful attention of the ACS staff, he got it. Instead of returning to SafePlace, he moved to a residential treatment center to receive the intensive support he needed to recover from the trauma he had experienced. Ronnie’s mom is preparing for a life of peace and independence, and Ronnie will be ready when she is, thanks to your support of ACS emergency and respite services.
ACS provided Respite Care to
children in 2013, with the longest stay of 24 days and shortest of 1 day.
As a new program launched in July 2013, Foster in Austin has built the training, screening, monitoring and home visitation protocols and infrastructure that will support our foster parents. By the end of 2013, we had begun placing children in fully trained Foster in Austin homes. We look forward to reporting full service data in 2014.
FOSTER IN AUSTIN Extensive training, 24-hour on-call support assistance, regular home visits and scheduled respite care are just a few of the attributes that set Foster in Austin apart from other child placing agencies. The added ability to transition children from emergency shelter to a foster family maintains continuity and connections for the children. By providing meaningful support and ongoing training and opportunities for interaction, we intend to build foster placements that endure and help promote healing and recovery from trauma.
Helping two generations of ACS kids. Corrina was 15 and in foster care when she had her first baby. By the time she was 17, she was a mother of three, and on the run from an abusive boyfriend. She was on track to lose her own children to foster care. But at ACS’ Teen Parent Program, she learned how to be a mother: how to set appropriate limits and communicate clear expectations, how to establish routines and plan meals, and how to have fun with children and let them know she loves them. But once she left us, things got harder. Another boyfriend became abusive, and eventually CPS got involved and recommended removing the kids from Corrina’s care. But thanks to Corrina’s relationship with ACS, her kids were placed in one of ACS’ foster homes. They’re getting the care, love, and attention they need, in an environment that Corrina knows and trusts. Corrina visits them regularly, and their goal is reunification as a family. The seeds of a happy family that were planted at ACS have taken root, thanks to your support of foster family services at ACS.

STRONG START By empowering and educating vulnerable and at-risk families through comprehensive support services, Strong Start works to prevent child abuse before it begins. The free and voluntary program provides a therapeutic early childhood program, in-home parent coaching, ongoing parent education, scheduled respite services, and other essential supports. Strong Start prevents child abuse by strengthening at-risk families and keeping children safe at home. Services are provided at the Strong Start classroom building in North Austin, in the homes of families, to clients of SafePlace and Care Academy. *Strong Start merged with ACS in August 2013.
Family stress affects preschooler. At just three years old, Lucas was already getting into trouble. His older brother had a reputation at preschool for aggression and misbehavior, and unfortunately, Lucas showed every sign of following his path. To make matters worse, Lucas had a pronounced speech delay which made communication difficult. His speech therapist noticed the trouble his mother Celina was having trying to manage her three boys, and she referred the family to Strong Start. At Strong Start, Celina got help learning how to set appropriate limits, how to stick to a predictable schedule, and how to play with her boys and enjoy time with them. In the therapeutic classroom, Lucas learned appropriate ways to interact with peers. The more predictable routines at home also helped relieve his stress, and his behavior quickly improved. In fact, the school reports that Lucas’ brother’s behavior improved, too. Celina was on a path that very well could have led to abuse, as her level of frustration and inability to manage her boys’ behavior grew. But thanks to your support of Strong Start, the family is now stronger, calmer, and happier.
