FROM THE CEO
Changing lives: Then and now This is a very special year for Rosecrance—the 100th anniversary of our founding. Over the past year, I’ve thought a lot about where we’ve been as an organization, what the 100-year milestone means and where we’re going in the future. Rosecrance is about people and purpose. From the first orphaned child who came to live at the old Rosecrance Memorial Home for Children 100 years ago, we’ve always been about people. The people we serve. The people who inspire and lead our organization. The people who donate time, talent and treasure to support us. The compassionate people who do the work. As for our reason to exist all these years, I link our evolving purpose to the wisdom and intentional decision-making of visionary people who guided Rosecrance through the decades. They consistently responded to changing times with programs and services that offered help and hope and now, recovery.
Philip W. Eaton President/CEO
From an orphanage for a handful of children, Rosecrance transformed itself into an agency that served troubled youth. From there, we led the way for the state in serving teens with substance use disorders. Having acquired that expertise, we logically expanded treatment services to help adults recover from addiction. Adding community mental health services to the mix in 2011 made Rosecrance one of the largest and most comprehensive behavioral health organizations in the Midwest. And here we are. Personally, I have witnessed almost half of that history. Fresh out of college in 1971, I signed on as a social worker at Rosecrance, joining a staff of about a dozen serving fewer than 50 kids. Today, our staff is pushing the 800 mark, and we served more than 22,000 people last year. Through the years, I’ve been privileged to know many of the visionaries whose fingerprints are on the Rosecrance story. Some of them, including several board members, have been involved with Rosecrance almost as long as I have. They will be front and center as we celebrate in numerous ways all year long. All of our of major events this year—our annual Rockford benefit on April 25, a special recovery 5K run on Aug. 7 and our Chicago benefit on Oct. 19—will carry the anniversary theme. The most important aspect of each event during this milestone year is captured in our anniversary theme: 100 Years of Changing Lives. That’s our business. Then and now. Going forward, Rosecrance continues to evolve and grow in a way that is compatible with our mission. In this issue, you can read about Rosecrance New Life, a small treatment practice we have acquired in Davenport, Iowa. We are proceeding with our plans to open a new outpatient counseling center and recovery residence in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. I am grateful to all the people who have helped make Rosecrance what it is today and for the gift of having meaningful work to do. We will go forward into the future, by the grace of God, one day at a time.

“(Rosecrance) has been more of a home for me than any other place.” - resident from the 1940s “Rosecrance has changed my life and continues to change my life and put me down a path of success.” - 2016 recovery home resident Nearly seven decades separate those statements made by young clients, but they offer a glimpse at Rosecrance’s history of changing and saving lives. We’ve come a long way since our incorporation as a children’s home in 1916. That was the seed that grew into the Rosecrance of today—more than 40 locations in three states serving 22,000 children, adolescents, adults and families who turn to us each year for help with substance abuse and mental health treatment. Thousands of clients, employees and community members have contributed to our growth and success through the years, and we’re celebrating our 100th anniversary with special events during the coming months. We’re also telling our story to help retrace the journey from 1916 to 2016 but also to thank all of you for helping us along the way. “There have been so many people who helped in this journey and so many stories of how it all worked together, from generous people in our community to board members to our employees and the clients we work so hard to serve,” Rosecrance President/CEO Philip Eaton said. “Looking back, we have so much to be proud of as an organization; looking ahead, we have so much reason for optimism.”
A storied past
(2010 - present)
Rosecrance isn’t just a unique company name. It’s a family name, the name of our founders, Dr. James and Fanny Rosecrance. James was a doctor in the small town of New Milford, just south of Rockford. He and Fanny never had children of their own, but it’s believed they opened their home and helped care for children who had nowhere else to go during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

After they died, Fanny’s will detailed provisions that their country home become the Rosecrance Memorial Home for Children. The home was incorporated in 1916, and newspaper accounts said it opened in 1920. The quote that introduced this story is from a boy who lived at the home for six years during the 1940s. He was one of more than 1,000 children who lived at the New Milford home. In 1953, Rosecrance relocated to Rockford; the facility transitioned into more of a group home for (continued on page 6)

boys, bringing on staff trained in helping children with behavioral problems. One of Rosecrance’s biggest shifts came in 1982, when it started providing substance abuse—known back then as chemical dependency—treatment for adolescents. We started treating adults for addiction in 1992 and opened our 97-bed Harrison Campus in 1995. Services for teens relocated in 2004 to the scenic, 78-bed Rosecrance Griffin Williamson Campus on University Drive in Rockford. This campus is one of the premiere inpatient facilities in the country for adolescents and teens needing treatment for substance abuse. The second statement at the top of this story came from a letter written by a young client who was at Hillman House in February. Some of our biggest and most exciting changes have happened within the past five years. Rosecrance in 2011 officially

merged with Janet Wattles Center, our area’s largest provider of community mental health services, as we recognized the importance of integrating substance abuse and mental health treatment for our clients. Rosecrance has opened outpatient offices in Chicago and its suburbs and Wisconsin, and has linked up with a substance abuse services provider in Iowa (read more on that in this issue). We’re broadening our Chicago services with the opening of Rosecrance Lakeview this year as we try to help more young adults struggling with addiction.

Rosecrance’s annual benefits—April 25 in Rockford and Oct. 19 in Chicago—will carry the 100th anniversary theme. An anniversary exhibit featuring Rosecrance photos, historic documents and other items from our archives opened in April at Midway Village Museum in Rockford. The biggest community event is the Rosecrance Recovery 5K Walk/Run: “Every Step Counts,” scheduled for Aug. 7. The event will start and finish at the Rosecrance Berry Campus in Rockford. It’s open to all ages, and every participant will receive a medal, T-shirt, goodie bag and refreshments. Rosecrance employees are also doing things internally to celebrate, such as participating in blood drives with the goal of donating 100 pints of blood throughout the year and collecting 100 cans of food at different points in the year for local food pantries. Bown said the anniversary planning team is enthusiastic “We’re really seeking every opportunity to give our events the 100th anniversary touch,” Bown said. “A lot of our Rosecrance friends who’ve supported us for a long time are involved because they recognize the good work that we do.”

Rosecrance Lakeview opening soon in Chicago Excitement is building as Rosecrance Lakeview, a new outpatient center and recovery home for young adults, prepares to open in the coming weeks. The new facility is located at 3701 N. Ashland Ave. in Chicago and primarily will serve clients ranging in age from 18 to 29. The first floor will house the outpatient counseling center, while floors two through four will have short- and long-term housing for young adults seeking a safe, sober environment to help further their recovery. Lakeview is slated to open this spring; an official opening date is dependent on several factors, including the construction schedule, and state and federal licensing and credentialing processes. Chris Yadron, Rosecrance’s director of Chicago recovery services, said Lakeview stands apart because it’s tailored to young adults and it’s accessible to many educational, career and transportation options for that population. “It’s a unique opportunity for young adults to fully engage in their program of recovery and not only sustain a period of abstinence but also achieve the help and support and the skills necessary to make recovery a lifelong commitment and process,” Yadron said. Lakeview programming will be highly structured and clients will have individualized treatment plans to fit their needs. Some residents may have already completed primary treatment episodes and are ready to take the next steps with education or finding jobs. So, they may be involved in individual tutoring with recovery specialists, job training or part-time employment; attend 12-step meetings; and participate in individual, group and family counseling.
These exterior and interior photos were taken on March 17, 2016, and show the progress of Lakeview construction.
Other clients may be in earlier stages of recovery and have more experiential therapies (fitness, art therapy, etc.), 12-step meetings and community meetings with their peers on site. All residents will do volunteer and service work within the community. Lakeview aims to fill the growing need for recovery housing for young adults with substance use disorders who’ve been labeled as “failing to launch.” For many of these clients, addiction and mental illness have prevented them achieving certain developmental milestones as they make the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Rosecrance plans national fire service event Broadening the conversation about behavioral health in the fire service is the goal of a new three-day event taking place in September. The 2016 Rosecrance Florian Symposium will bring together some of the best minds and professionals in the industry to discuss important topics such as substance use and mental health treatment, trauma, peer support, the chaplaincy and more. Rosecrance for many years has worked alongside firefighters and paramedics but stepped up in 2014 to start the Florian Program, which is geared specifically to that population. Florian has its own eight-bed inpatient substance abuse treatment unit for firefighters and paramedics struggling with job-related addiction and mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. Florian is led by Dan DeGryse, a 26-year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department and a current battalion chief. DeGryse will speak at the Florian Symposium, as will the Rev. Jim Swarthout, Rosecrance’s clergy community relations coordinator. The Florian Symposium takes place Sept. 28-30 at the Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont. The first day features pre-conference training sessions in Mental Health First Aid, taught by Rosecrance’s Sarra Reichwald and Matt Olson from Illinois Fire Fighter Peer Support.

Services expanding this spring in Iowa Rosecrance has purchased a well-known substance abuse treatment provider in Iowa to expand services to teens, adults and families. This spring, Rosecrance started managing operations of New Life Outpatient Center in Davenport, which now takes on the Rosecrance name. New Life was founded in 1991 by Mike Shovlain as the state’s first for-profit outpatient center for substance abuse treatment.
Mike Shovlain founded New Life Outpatient Center. He is seen here with wife, Cheryl. Mike passed away in 2014.
Mike’s wife, Cheryl, who’s worked at New Life for more than a decade, took over the business after he passed away in 2014. Mike was a visionary in the behavioral health field, spending more than 30 years helping people overcome addiction through hospitalbased, nonprofit and employee assistance programs. He started in the medical field as a nurse working in a Cook County hospital emergency room. “He knew everybody in the field, both on the Illinois and Iowa side of the river,” Cheryl said. “I wish he could be here for this. I wish he could see how well we have done, even this past year. He had a great ability to read people, to find good staff, and he was very, very loved by anyone who would come in contact with him.” Rosecrance New Life provides an array of substance abuse treatment services for adults, including OWI (operating while intoxicated) evaluations, extended and intensive outpatient treatment, continuing care, and an OWI/DUI (driving under influence) Victim Impact Panel Program. For adolescents, New Life offers individualized treatment plans, family support groups, extended outpatient and adolescent intensive outpatient services.
Rosecrance New Life Outpatient Center is housed in the Paul Revere Square in Davenport, Iowa.
Services and staffing at New Life will remain the same once the business transaction is finalized this spring. Cheryl is retiring, and Austin Gross, a certified alcohol and drug counselor and New Life’s clinical manager, will lead operations. Cheryl said “everybody is happy with the choice” of Rosecrance leading New Life from this point forward. Lisa Primm, Rosecrance’s community relations coordinator, drew parallels between Mike’s work in Iowa and the Quad Cities with Rosecrance founders James and Fanny Rosecrance. “This started as one person’s dream,” Primm said of New Life. “Mike was one of the pioneers in that community, and he really molded the clinical services there during the past 30 years. That’s why it’s so special for us to be able to come in and join forces with an organization that already has such a great reputation and legacy in the community. Rosecrance’s goal is to complement what the Quad Cities has and grow services even more.”

Rosecrance and SwedishAmerican: Behavioral health care in a hospital setting Inside two rooms on the fourth floor of SwedishAmerican Hospital, patients can express their feelings by writing words and pictures on chalkboards. They can snuggle with a toy dog or calmly sift through plastic sandboxes that sit on tables during counseling sessions.
These “soothing” rooms are a unique feature of the Center for Behavioral Health, which provides inpatient psychiatric care and treatment for adolescents and adults. Rosecrance partnered with SwedishAmerican, a division of UW Health, in 2013 to manage behavioral health services. The hospital has a bed capacity for 20 adults and 12 adolescents, and services are provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The center also has a partial program where patients stay at the hospital for about six hours during the weekdays and then return home during the evenings; it’s designed as a stepdown from the hospital. For inpatient care, patients stay at the center an average of six to nine days, though there’s no maximum limit on how long they can stay—treatment plans are individualized to fit their needs, said Amy Kirsch, MSN, RN, the center’s director of psychiatric services. Daily schedules are highly structured, with group meetings about depression and anxiety, anger, wellness and goals. The center has recreation and fitness rooms, which are part of the therapeutic recreation program that includes

activities such as expressive art. Patients also explore spirituality and participate in family groups, as well as meet individually for counseling and medication assistance with their physicians. Telepsychiatry, which allows patients to communicate with doctors in real time through a TV and video camera, is also used to facilitate patient appointments. The soothing rooms have reduced the use of restraints and help patients calm and soothe themselves in a safe environment. Their use is voluntary, and Kirsch said patients use them daily. Kirsch spoke about the successful results of using the rooms at the 2014 American Psychiatric Nurses Association Conference, and the organization included research in its respective journal. “The rooms are good for many of our clients because they’re seen as non-threatening environments,” Kirsch said. “The sensory items are welcoming, and the patients really like the chalkboards

because they can write whatever they want without being penalized.” The center received a small makeover that included new flooring and paint in summer 2015. Nature scenes now decorate patient rooms, and the space has a more modern feel.
Grants help students with behavioral health crises Rosecrance has received positive feedback and is seeing early success with a preventative behavioral health program in local schools funded graciously by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois through funds established by Dr. Louis and Violet Rubin. The $45,000 grant helped pay for Rosecrance’s Open Access and Child and Family Counseling program, which integrates short-term counseling services for children and a skills training program for parents. Services are available to students served by the schoolbased health center at Auburn High School in Rockford and regardless of their ability to pay. The goal is to help students manage their behavioral health in a proactive way and prevent mental health crises. Group work in schools started in early September, and Rosecrance has already documented a decrease in emergency service inquiries. In the 61101 ZIP code—the northwest part of Rockford served by the health center— crisis interventions dropped by 37 percent. Students ask for help directly or are often referred for services by school nurses, teachers and counselors. They might be stressed or having a bad day, or someone noticed a change in their behavior. Katie Heisler, Rosecrance’s team leader at the schoolbased health center, runs seven groups at Ellis Elementary School for students in kindergarten through fifth grades. Girls’ groups work on relational aggression, positive peer relationships and self-awareness; boys’ groups focus on positive peer relationships, impulse control and anger management.
(Top photo) Toys, a sandbox and a stuffed animal are some of the items that adolescent and adult clients can use in the soothing rooms. (Bottom photo) Fitness and game rooms are part of the amenities on the psychiatric unit at SwedishAmerican Hospital.
Each group runs for an hour once per week within the school environment, Heisler said. Martina Smith, principal at Ellis Elementary School, said the program has provided consistency for students and families with Heisler being available to them. “Students are able to get help and feedback to fix behaviors and return to class to have a successful day,” Smith said. “(They’re) using language and strategies to solve problems. We are able to keep students in school and get them what they need rather than using an out-of-school intervention.”

Hospital partnerships expand access Rosecrance has strengthened its partnership with Rockford hospitals to improve access to behavioral health services in the community Two Rosecrance staff are now embedded at Rockford Memorial Hospital: Ann Petty works with children in the pediatric department, and Lindsay Pozzi counsels patients at the pain center. Petty provides mental health outreach to help link children to appropriate services and provides counseling for clients within the clinic setting. Hospital leaders have made a concerted effort to screen youth for depression and identify those who need follow-up care. One of Petty’s goals is to help children and families partner with their care providers in meeting overall health care goals. “The families really like to come to the clinic setting. It’s a very non-threatening, familiar territory,” Petty said. Requests run the gamut, from where to find resources about a new autism diagnosis to parenting strategies to deal with different behaviors. Petty said she sees a lot of children with depression and anxiety, those dealing with family issues such as divorce and grief/loss, as well as suicide and self-harming.

Pozzi’s position has evolved to help patients who are struggling with depression, anxiety and anger associated with their chronic pain. She teaches patients coping skills, which can be used to decrease depression, anxiety and anger or help distract patients from their pain. Pozzi completes a psychosocial assessment, which includes screening for depression, potential risk for abusing substances and potential risk of a patient developing problems when placed on long-term opioid therapy. “When patients come to realize they have chronic pain, they go through a grieving process,” Pozzi said. “At first they are in denial and then shocked. They then become angry and begin bargaining and often start to feel depressed. My goal is to help my patients get to the acceptance stage, and I do this by teaching them different ways of thinking. Many of my patients have a limited support system, so just being there for them and listening to what they are going through is very therapeutic for them.” Traumas such as car accidents or work injuries are often the source of patients’ chronic pain. Pozzi also leads a chronic pain support group that meets on the fourth Thursday each month. Meetings feature speakers such as chiropractors, nutritionists, acupuncturists, licensed massage therapists, certified yoga instructors and more.

Annual benefit goes vintage The 2016 Rosecrance Foundation Benefit combined modern and vintage elements with special performers Redux Jazz Orchestra helping celebrate the agency’s 100th anniversary. The benefit took place at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 25, at Giovanni’s Restaurant & Convention Center in Rockford. Proceeds from the benefit support The Kinley Charity Care Fund, which helps youth, adults and families who seek treatment for substance abuse and mental illness. The fund has provided more than $7 million in charity care since it was established in 1984. Redux Jazz Orchestra features performers from Postmodern Jukebox, a dynamic touring ensemble that gained fame and notoriety with its viral videos featuring vintage remakes of modern songs such as “All About That Bass” and “Thrift Shop.” Redux is a nine-person combo with three singers, five instrumentalists and a tap dancer. Some benefit attendees dressed in vintage attire as Rosecrance celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2016. The benefit featured a timeline exhibit highlighting Rosecrance’s history and a special presentation to open the event. “We just continue to be grateful for the faithful support of people in the community: We have so many people who have been dedicated benefactors for many years,” said Anne Boccignone, Rosecrance’s vice president of development. “It’s because of them that we have been able to provide more than $7 million in charity care since the inception of the Kinley fund.” Watch for the full benefit recap in the next issue.

The Becknells’ service to Rosecrance goes back several decades. Roger is a 20-year member of Try-Beta Club, a service organization comprised of local businessmen. Try-Beta has supported Rosecrance through volunteer work, fundraising and donations since the 1970s. Roger also served on Rosecrance’s board of directors.
Lyn and Roger Becknell, longtime supporters of Rosecrance, are members of the 1916 Society.
Rockford couple prioritizes planned giving Talk to Lyn and Roger Becknell for just a few minutes, and you’ll feel their passion for Rockford. Roger grew up on the west side of town and graduated from Rock Valley College. Although Lyn has lived in Rockford since the 1970s, she’s a native of Charleston, South Carolina. They started Abbott Plastics, a small plastics fabricating and machining company, in 1980. Lyn said the company grew to be successful “beyond their wildest imagination,” and they make it a priority to share their success with the community, including Rosecrance. “If it’s not us, who’s going to do it?” Lyn said. “It’s so important for us to give back. This is our community.” The Becknells are members of The 1916 Society, which honors people who have remembered Rosecrance in their wills and trusts. The name reflects the year Rosecrance was founded and gives a nod to our founders, Dr. James and Fanny Rosecrance.
Lyn has been a member of the Rockford Woman’s Club for more than 30 years. One of the club’s philanthropic projects involves Rosecrance Greendale House, a recovery home for adults and women with children. The club donates time and gifts for families. The Becknells understand Rosecrance’s work as they have seen relatives and friends struggle with substance abuse. That’s why they prioritized making a planned gift that will help Rosecrance continue to help people in the future. “Addiction is a growing problem in our society, and it’s really important that we address it and the treatment work continues,” Lyn said. “The more the government doesn’t hold up its end of the bargain, the more places like Rosecrance depend on people like us. That’s why we feel so strongly about it.”

1916 Society
