San Diego Center for Children
Message from Leadership Dear Friends, Partners and Supporters, As we complete our 129th year, we have had the opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments as San Diego’s oldest nonprofit dedicated to the care of children and the vital resources we have provided the community. The children, teens and families we serve have much in common. For many, it’s the struggle of coping with a mental health condition or a developmental disability. For others, it’s the aftermath of abuse, trauma or neglect. The youth and families we serve come from all different backgrounds and circumstances. Some families are simply unaware of available resources or when it’s time for them to seek support. Some of the youth we serve come from families where there has been a need to be removed from their parents’ care and be placed in foster care. Most are struggling in school and many are bullied or made fun of. Regardless of the circumstances for the children and families we work with, they unfortunately have not experienced the stable, soothing and caring environment needed to effectively address their struggles. Because we understand that one solution does not fit all and that one treatment approach does not help address all problems, we have worked diligently to develop a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health and educational services to best respond to the varied needs of the families we serve. We offer a true continuum of nationally accredited services and we continuously strive to improve the well-being of the more than 1,000 lives we empower every day.
Moisés Barón, Ph.D., President & CEO
But there is more that we need to do to achieve our vision for the future. We continue to work diligently to chart a new and exciting course as we approach the remarkable milestone of serving the community for 130 years. We encourage you to read this report and visit our website to learn what we have accomplished. We also invite you to come for a tour at the Center to a get a closer look at what we do and learn about our plans for the future. We are striving to make the San Diego Center for Children a household name in our community and to create new pathways for families to access the services that we provide and that they deserve. We are proud of our accomplishments over this past year and grateful to our Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, dedicated and professional staff, and to all of our friends and supporters for their generous, life-changing contributions. We truly believe that the San Diego Center for Children has a bright future to add to its distinguished 129-year history. Together, as partners, there is much more we can accomplish to benefit the lives of children who, by no fault of their own, are in need of the vital services we provide.

San Diego Center for Children
Commitment to the Entire Family’s Well-Being The struggles and unfavorable connotations regarding mental health dates back many centuries, yet they are still alive and prevalent in our society today. Several factors contribute to this perpetuation, causing families to delay or not receive the proper attention and treatment needed to address their child’s struggles. The unfortunate stigma of mental health may cause a family to sweep harmful situations under the rug or label their child’s behavior as “just a phase”. Additionally, a family may be unaware about mental health or developmental disorders in order to recognize symptoms and signs, and further, may not have access to care or know where to seek help. Regardless of the reason, the fact is that of the more than 105,000 children and teens in our County experiencing a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder, 80% may not get the help they need. This lack of care leaves many feeling displaced, others feeling hopeless to dream and imagine a bright future, and too many at risk of developing more serious problems as they become adults. Problems with mental health are not a phase. They are real and can affect us all in one way or another. The San Diego Center for Children is a compass for families, guiding them to access the help they need when they need it. Our integrated therapeutic, educational, foster care and transition services are designed to address a child’s condition and a family’s struggles in an effective, comprehensive and compassionate way. A child’s success means success for their family, and an empowered family means a healthier, more mindful community.
“My child got all the care and attention that he had never received in other places. Now he doesn’t get upset when he goes to school and he feels proud of himself and his achievements. Thank you.” - Center Parent Annual Report 2015-2016

Max continues making strides not only at home and in the community, but also in his school environment.

San Diego Center for Children
FINDING ANSWERS & HOPE THROUGH THERAPEUTIC SERVICES Max, a 9-year-old boy, was displaying severe social and behavioral challenges at home and school. Max’s mother was beyond frustrated due to her numerous contacts with various health care providers who never called back or completed an assessment for Max. This was not due to lack of insurance, as Max’s family had the resources to seek professional help. Although Max was “high functioning” and not struggling academically, his parents feared that a lack of understanding regarding his significant behaviors could lead others to label him as a “bad kid” – or place him at risk of facing school suspension or police involvement. They were committed to seeking help for Max and received a referral to the Family Wellness Center from a family who had received help for their child experiencing similar struggles. Through an initial consultation and diagnostic tests, our clinical staff confirmed that Max’s behaviors were not representative of an unruly child. Rather, Max was displaying behaviors characteristic of children on the autism spectrum. Before receiving treatment and social skills group services at the Family Wellness Center, Max would have triggers and explode without knowing the reasons for his volatile reactions. Max is now more aware of his physiological sensory body responses and stressors, and able to articulate what his triggers are and how to address them. Max started to advocate for himself better in sharing what his needs are,
and through family therapy sessions at the Family Wellness Center, his parents have also learned how to better support him. Additionally, the Family Wellness Center team advocated for Max during his Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting once he was diagnosed to help his school better understand his autism spectrum disorder and identify appropriate supports and services. This collaboration has resulted in a positive partnership to ensure Max continues making strides not only at home and in the community, but also in his school environment. Through the services and support that Max and his family received, there was an opportunity for peers in his social circle to build compassion and understanding of the struggles experienced by those on the autism spectrum. *The child’s name and image has been replaced in order to protect their identity.
Outpatient therapy, autism and school-based mental health services were provided to
2,750 youth and family members this year.

THRIVING IN THE CLASSROOM & BEYOND THROUGH EDUCATIONAL SERVICES As a young child, David was exposed to extraordinary neglect, living in an unsafe and unsanitary garage with no one to properly care for him. At the age of 9, David was removed from his home by child welfare and went through 6 placements over the next several years, including time in a juvenile detention facility. As a foster youth, David was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 10-years-old and developed social anxiety due to being bullied by his peers. Through our LifeSchool Program, a partnership with the Sweetwater Union High School District, David developed coping skills through our therapeutic and educational services and started to excel in his academics. David additionally continued to work in his therapy sessions to address the overwhelming trauma he experienced as a young child to become more resilient and serve as a role-model to his fellow classmates. David met his treatment goals the last semester of his senior year and successfully mainstreamed into a traditional high school setting where he received his high school diploma. Big goals are on David’s horizon, including plans to possibly major in criminal justice or pursue studies related to forestry. We could not be prouder of David’s success and goal to continue his education. *The student’s name and image has been replaced in order to protect their identity. 10

CREATING STRONGER FAMILIES THROUGH FOSTER CARE SERVICES Missy always had a passion for children with a specific goal to adopt a child. In 2011, Missy began her journey with our Special Families Foster Care Program to become a certified foster parent. Two years later, fate brought a sweet 6-year-old girl, Aricelli, to be placed in her nurturing and safe home. “Ari” was missing school 60% of the time prior to being placed in Missy’s home and performing under grade level in kindergarten. Missy received invaluable support and services through weekly meetings and 24/7 guidance provided over the next 3 ½ years by our Special Families Foster Care team members. Resources included understanding how to navigate the foster care system, building a reunification plan with Ari’s biological family, and managing complex issues that may arise with biological family members. Additionally, Missy and Ari received family therapy over 15 months through our Foster Family Agency Stabilization and Treatment (FFAST) Program to equip them both with coping and life skills in order to build permanency, attachment, discipline, safety, joy and resilience in their relationship throughout the fostering and adoption phases. Missy’s goal to adopt became reality when Ari’s adoption was finalized in 2015. Today, Ari is 10-years-old and is excelling and engaged in her academics and afterschool activities. She also ran her first 5K, landed her second lead role in a school musical, has developed significant attachment bonds with both her biological and foster extended families, and speaks about “when she goes to college”.
“It’s been a privilege to witness the transformation of Ari – this beautiful, bright, joyful, inquisitive, resilient girl who aspires to big, bold, beautiful dreams. This is largely in thanks to the Center’s programs and the intensive attention the staff gave to me and Ari.” -Missy

“The competition was really fun because I got to bond with a lot of staff. I think the Center was a good place for me and I’m glad I ended up here even due to all the misfortunate experiences I went through. I feel I’ve learned a lot of coping skills. I don’t feel trapped anymore. I have more options and the future doesn’t bother me anymore as I’ve learned a lot, such as how to apply for colleges, find apartments, how to cook, what to do in an emergency and more. Now, I’m not so worried about the future because I will know how to survive in the real world.” - Center Youth 14

LEARNING LIFE SKILLS FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS THROUGH TRANSITION SERVICES Planning and thinking about one’s future can be daunting for some, especially when you are in foster care or when you are trying to cope with a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder. However, for the 43 teens served through our newly developed Successful Transitions Program, things look brighter now that they have an individualized plan for their future and are equipped with critical independent life skills to help successfully transition from our programs and eventually into adulthood. Transition services were provided to youth in our Clark Adolescent Residential Treatment, WrapWorks, North County Academy, LifeSchool, Foster Family Agency Stabilization and Treatment (FFAST) and San Diego Center for Children Academy programs. Our Life Skills curriculum includes 14 skill building categories and additionally offers teens certification in CPR & First Aid, Therapy Dog Handler and Food Handlers. A teen living in our Clark Adolescent Residential Treatment Program applied the culinary skills learned through our transition program at the San Diego County Young Master Chef Competition. We were proud of her accomplishment to place 2nd out of 30 competitors with her delicious “Spinach Fettucine with Ratatouille” recipe, which was inspired by her grandma. The teen shared, “I love my grandma! She makes ratatouille and it’s the best. I felt I should honor her through this competition as she’s supportive of me and such a good person. She had my mom, so I love her and I love my mom too!” Annual Report 2015-2016
In Loving Memory: Jack Clark The Clark Adolescent Residential Treatment cottage, named after long-time friends and donors, Jack & Carol Clark, is home for up to 30 teens needing intensive therapeutic support. As we reflect on this past year, we wish to acknowledge the passing of one of the Center’s dearest friends and most loyal supporters, Jack Clark. He, along with his wife, Carol, devoted extraordinary resources to ensure the best facilities and treatment were available to the children and teens at the Center. Our most sincere appreciation for his legacy of generosity and passion for our mission. His name is now part of the DNA of our institution and we are fortunate to have Carol continue their legacy of transformational giving. San Diego Center for Children

Community Support & Collaborations Our success would not be possible without the many donors and volunteers who provide their valuable resources of time, treasure and talent to ensure our mission and vision are accomplished. Thank you to the companies who have generously supported our efforts through sponsorship, underwriting, employee giving, volunteerism and more throughout the year. We are thrilled to continue vital partnerships with such outstanding organizations.
It has been a joy to partner with caring organizations, community and civic groups, school clubs, and local businesses. Their generous contributions have provided vital underwriting and volunteer resources for the children and families we serve.
The Iris Auxiliary to the San Diego Center for Children has supported children in our care for over 35 years. Their mission is to provide the “extras” that help the children have the same experiences that other children enjoy. This amazing group of ladies presented us with a $28,000 check at their Annual Meeting in June 2016 from all fundraising activities they coordinated to continue benefiting the youth we serve. “I get a lot more out of volunteering than what I give to the kids. I can see in their faces that they appreciate the consistency of me being there week after week. They have suffered a lot of loss and broken promises. I just love working with children.” - Pat, Volunteer of the Center & Iris Auxiliary Member
Countless hours were provided this fiscal year by over 500 volunteers. Iris Auxiliary members alone totaled 439 volunteer hours in helping youth learn how to sew various items, including quilts. “I saw the positive turnaround my stepson made from going to the Academy, and I can’t speak enough of what the Center has done to help him. I’ve gotten to know people at the Center, which is why I also continue volunteering. I’m loyal to the Center.” - Maribeth, Center Volunteer of the Year 2015
Employee Collaboration & Wellness We are thankful for our caring, multidisciplinary team of over 365 culturally-and trauma-informed team members who support the health care needs of thousands of families. The safety and well-being of the families we serve are as important as the needs of our employees. Through our employee-run Live for Live Committee, we offered 502 wellness classes and activities this fiscal year, with 2,019 instances of staff participation from approximately 361 individual team members.

Fundraising Events Wacky Wonky Walk & Kids Festival - October 25, 2015 A scrumdiddlyumptious day it was at the gorgeous Waterfront Park that included a 4.89K Wacky Walk reminiscent of the spirit and décor of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Over 1,000 attendees were led to a kid friendly festival, which included food vendors and wacky activity extravaganza enjoyed by all ages. “I slept in the same style of bed. None of these children are here by choice or did they ask for this. I know exactly what they’re going through. Even if I help one kid through what I do for the Center, it’s worth it.” - Joe, Volunteer of the Center and Wacky Willy Wonka
Holiday FUNDrive - December 13, 2015 Holiday cheer was celebrated on our main 9-acre campus in Linda Vista which was turned into a Winter Wonderland. 300 community members helped trim the trees, hang stockings and decorate for the holiday season. Additionally, toys and gift cards were donated to help families we serve. Vespa Motorsport’s Annual Scooter Toy Run was also a big highlight of this fun-filled event.
129th Anniversary Celebration - June 2, 2016 Our “Blues Thursday” gala was celebrated by 300 attendees at the U.S. Grant Hotel. Guests were amazed by the musical and artistic talents from our youth through an open-mic performance, and the success story of a former Academy student. It was an honor for us to also present Susie Sides and Jim Avery with our PATH Award – “Partner in Achieving Transformation and Hope”. On behalf of the San Diego City Council, Councilmember Lorie Zapf presented a distinguishable City Council Proclamation proclaiming June 2, 2016 as Susie Sides and Jim Avery Day.
