Evolution of our Vision

Dear Friends of Starr,

There is no time quite like Autumn on the historic campus of Starr Commonwealth. Watching the sunrise over foggy Montcalm Lake, I can’t help but be brought back to when Uncle Floyd, and countless boys, did the very same from Gladsome Cottage and the first homes. I find this scene to be the perfect analogy for the time I write–a season of change anchored in our roots and the vision of Floyd Starr.

Our mission remains true–leading with courage to create positive experiences so that all children, families and communities flourish. What has evolved, over the century and the decades, is our approach. In this issue of Starr News, you will learn of the updates to all of our impactful programming for children and the adults that serve them. In addition, you will be introduced to the evolution of our vision, including key partnerships and the next chapter for the beautiful safe haven Uncle Floyd made possible in 1913.

I encourage all to join us as we venture into these exciting new opportunities. As has been said many times over the last few months, it takes a village. We are so grateful for you to be a supporter of the children who need you most. When you support our work, you have the incredible opportunity to be welcomed to walk alongside children–no matter their journey–to witness the power of our work as it builds resilience in kids who never knew what they were capable of. Even in the midst of crisis, there is hope. There is healing. When you give, you will know that a child begins to heal.

Yours

in Healing, Elizabeth Carey, President & CEO

EMERGENCY INTAKE

In response to an urgent request from the U.S. federal government, Starr Commonwealth has opened its Albion campus to help alleviate humanitarian challenges–first at the southern border, and now Afghanistan.

A leader in healing trauma and building resilience in children, Starr has signed a facilities agreement to allow the Administration for Children and Families to utilize its 350-acre campus as a safe haven. ACF is providing temporary shelter for unaccompanied children as it works to unite them with their family or sponsors.

To protect the safety of the children, Starr has been asked not to share certain details about their arrival and care.

“For more than a century, our campus has served as a safe haven for children in need,” said Starr President and CEO Elizabeth Carey. “We have again been called to open our hearts and our campus as a refuge–this time to children arriving without parents or guardians.

When asked to help, we said yes–immediately and enthusiastically, just as our founder, Floyd Starr, would want us to do. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the Albion community and beyond, with so many kind and generous organizations and people reaching out with offers of help and messages of encouragement.”

ACF is providing bilingual caregivers who have a background in child welfare or development to care for the children while on the Starr campus. The organization expects each child will stay 30 days or less.

“Our expertise in healing trauma and building resilience can truly benefit the children who will be coming to our campus,” Carey said. “Many of us have all watched the heartbreaking pictures on the nightly news of children who have been abandoned—either in the desert, far away from home and without their families, or in the heartbreaking instability war causes—and wondered how we can help. Starr has safe beds, secure cottages and a campus of caring people–this is how we can, and must, help.”

WHITEPAPER: Resilient Schools Project

Starr Commonwealth’s flagship Resilient Schools Project is an evidence-informed and comprehensive systems approach to establishing a culture of resilience and trauma-informed practices in K-12 school buildings and districts nationwide. The goal is to equip school professionals with knowledge, training, and support to foster resilience in children.

Starr’s theory of change is that when trauma-informed and resilience-focused adults work within trauma-informed and resilience-focused systems, the wellbeing and success of children will increase. This theory is the foundation of the Resilient Schools Project that includes not only training, but also practical tools, coaching, and evaluation measures to implement and sustain trauma-informed, resilience-focused care in education settings.

Since 2018, these efforts have been amassing data and proof points for the efficacy of the model. Starr now stands in a position to celebrate these projects in the form of a newly-published whitepaper. Through Starr’s Resilient Schools Project efforts with partnering schools, the Resilient Schools Project whitepaper documents the many gains that meet the immediate needs of children.

“Starr has always kept a keen eye on data as part of the Resilient Schools Project process,” explains Dr. Stacey Levin, Starr’s director of research and evaluation. “While this data is something we’re sure to capture for each individual school engaging in the Resilient Schools Project, we are now able to report on the emerging data trends across various schools. This whitepaper highlights just that, and we are thrilled to share the powerful impact participating schools are having on the lives of the students they serve.”

In a year-to-year comparison of this elementary school, the *number of referrals and suspensions decreased since implementing the Resilient Schools Project.

Since RSP implementation, staff self-efficacy has improved.

I feel able to do my best each day to help my students.

“Many of the students who are living with trauma have started to become more aware of [their] academic needs and are able to talk when [having] difficulty with their academics.”

– Elementary School Staff

“Students are growing in their resilience academically and have improved in their frustration tolerance in regards to their academics.”

– Elementary School Staff

“It brings practical applications of how we can come into the classroom setting and have this curiosity – this focus on relationships [and] help build resiliency while still teaching students our content.”

– Middle School Teacher

Since RSP implementation, staff have an increased understanding of how to be trauma responsive.

“I encourage my students to self-regulate after co-regulation. I try to teach them about the brain and different brain-aligned strategies that will help them in their other classes.”

– High School Staff

“It doesn’t matter what you teach, it doesn’t matter what students you teach, it doesn’t matter what grade level you teach – everybody can come away…with some strategies that they can use with students that they see every day in their classrooms.”

– School Administrator

“I feel supported and feel empowered to help children and families change for the better.”

– Elementary School Staff

Focusing on developing healthy, healing relationships is the best approach when working with people with trauma histories.

BehavioralHealth

UPDATE

Research&Development

Over the last two years, Starr Commonwealth has celebrated the growth of our direct service behavioral health clinics. While new, larger offices are certainly exciting, our pride comes from our ability to serve even more children as a result. Throughout 2021, the theme of growth continues, and is now accompanied by themes of impact and influence.

In September of 2020, Starr Behavioral Health moved from its original space opened in 2019 to a larger space still located in Harper Woods. “In order to expand our practice, both to fulfill the need for behavioral health services as well as to evolve and expand in our offerings, this move is both critical and inspiring for our clinicians,” explains Starr Director of Behavioral Health Becca Gerlach. “The space is better equipped to see clients and expand our services.” This expansion has resulted in the hiring of 4 new staff members, each of which had previously been interns in Starr’s office.

In addition to Starr’s new office, services are also now available in dedicated space in the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Presence at Children’s Hospital allows Starr to not only serve more clients, but provides more effective wraparound services not previously offered at one of the premiere locations for children’s health in metro Detroit. In addition to Starr Behavioral Health’s expanded impact, its influence has been recognized on the national stage through publication in the Journal of Infant, Child, and Adolescent Psychotherapy. This article regarding sensory-based, trauma assessment and intervention is available at starr.org/journal

“What began as a small team dedicated to putting Starr’s theories into practice has grown into an industry-leader in the state of Michigan,” says Gerlach. “I am incredibly proud of what this team has been capable of, as well as our partners who recognize the growing need for services such as ours. The result is better experiences for the kids who need it most—critical support to ensure this generation is our most resilient yet. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for each child reached, as well as for our staff always rising to the next opportunity for healing.”

A LEADER IN CHILDHOOD TRAUMA ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION

LEARN. PLAY. WIN TOGETHER.

virtual conference

In the summer of 2020, in response to the global pandemic, Starr Commonwealth made the decision to shift our annual trauma and resilience conference to a virtual experience. After a resounding success last summer, Starr held its second virtual conference this past July. We are proud to announce that these two conferences were our most attended to date!

Our 2021 conference featured 20 sessions focusing on working with families, the experiences of children of the military, courageous conversations between co-workers, self-care, foster care, grief and loss, and more. These sessions were met with inspiring feedback from our attendees.

“This has been an incredible conference. I am looking forward to taking more classes in the upcoming year. Thank you for all that you do for our children.”

“This conference is inspiring in part because of the obvious passion each presenter has for the content. Thank you so very much.”

“The presenters were very knowledgeable and delivered information enthusiastically; with ease. I love the trauma resiliency courses offered through Starr. Experts at work!”

“Year after year, our trauma and resilience conference has served as a celebration of child-caring professionals and our collective spirit—driven to heal children and break down barriers to learning and development,” says Dr. Caelan Soma, Starr’s chief clinical officer. “Seeing the resilience of our attendees, whose response to our content has been overwhelmingly positive despite the virtual setting, is incredibly inspiring and bolsters our dedication to delivering fresh, relevant content regardless of setting.”

Night of Starrs

A familiar sense of hope swept through our communities for the 5th Annual Night of Starrs, sponsored by Oaklawn. It had been 895 days since friends and supporters of Starr were able to meet in person to celebrate the resiliency of all children and honor Stand Tall Award honorees. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Starr pivoted to a virtual event in 2020. In September of 2021, we finally were able to be together. While the intimate affair was limited in attendees, it was no less special of a night than those past.

Scores of supporters arrived at the Franke Center for the Arts in Marshall to hear the latest updates from Starr Commonwealth, honor Stand Tall Award recipients, and most importantly impact the lives of countless children. In total, Starr Commonwealth raised close to $80,000 that will be directly spent on breaking down barriers to healing in children.

Presented by

“The 5th Annual Night of Starrs was a celebration of evidence and promise,” recalls Elizabeth Carey, president & CEO. “Despite all of the hurdles of the past 18 months, our supporters have shown they believe in our mission, and will stand tall with us as we adapt and evolve to heal trauma and build resiliency in children. Knowing our donors, I expected nothing less. Each is a shining example of what it means to be Driven to Heal. Their support, generosity, and encouragement provide us the opportunity to serve, and we could not be more grateful.”

UPDATES: Higher Education

As Starr Commonwealth continues its vanguard approach to healing trauma and building resiliency in children, unique and dynamic efforts must be made to ensure its reach continues to grow. While Starr has found tremendous success empowering clinicians and educators already in the field, it has now strategically partnered with institutions of higher education to help mold the next generation of professionals with trauma-informed and resilience-focused practices.

“What a promising opportunity we have on our hands,” celebrates Derek Allen, Starr’s executive vice president and chief operating officer. “Not only can these partnerships fundamentally change how young professionals are prepared to make an impact, but they are focused on key industries–education, criminal justice, and more–that are critical to whole health of communities. This is what it means to enact systems-level change, and I applaud all our partners who share our vision.”

Starr Commonwealth Partners with Spring Arbor University to Launch M.Ed. in Trauma and Resiliency

Starr Commonwealth has partnered with Spring Arbor University (SAU) to launch an online Master of Education in Trauma and Resiliency program at a critical point in

history. The M.Ed. Trauma and Resiliency program will help teachers understand the impact of trauma on students and the educational environment and develop essential socialemotional instructional strategies for the classroom and beyond.

“Educators stand ready to help our children achieve greatness, yet the challenge has never been so immense. Professionals need new tools and skills to allow their mastery to improve emotional and academic success for their students,” says Elizabeth Carey, Starr Commonwealth president and CEO. “For over 30 years, Starr Commonwealth has been a leader in providing support to educators seeking to best serve all students. We are proud of the transformation in school culture and student performance we have witnessed with the help of our curriculum. To partner with SAU and their innovative education faculty is an honor.”

More than ever, teachers are finding that their students have been exposed to trauma. The National Survey of Children’s Health found that 35 million children in the United States have faced at least one type of trauma in their childhood. Students of SAU’s M.Ed. Trauma and Resiliency program will discover how to help K-12 learners build resiliency and work through personal trauma that affects classroom behavior and performance.

“It is imperative that K-12 school personnel have specific training on how best to support students who have been exposed to trauma. The M.Ed. in Trauma and Resiliency is aimed at equipping educators, schools and districts with the necessary skills to ensure the success of all students. Our partnership with Starr Commonwealth has yielded a dynamic program that is current, relevant, innovative and grounded in research-based best practices,” says John Williams IV, Dean of SAU’s School of Education.

Founded in 1873, Spring Arbor University is a Christian liberal arts university located in Spring Arbor, Michigan. SAU offers more than 70 majors and programs to traditional undergraduate students, as well as associate, bachelor’s and master’s programs at sites throughout Michigan and online.

Simpson College Launches New Online Certificate Program in Trauma and Resiliency

Simpson College will offer a new online graduate certificate program in trauma and resiliency beginning fall 2021. The certificate is the first of its kind in the state of Iowa and is designed to help professionals develop self-care, social justice and crisis response skills.

Simpson has partnered with industry leader Starr Commonwealth to provide the fully online certificate program, building on the College’s strong online reputation while addressing a growing societal need.

“We’re proud to offer this new online program to help professionals serve individuals who have experienced trauma at a time when there’s been so much discussion regarding non-violent interventions and mental health,” said John Woell, senior vice president and academic dean at Simpson. “The program fits with Simpson’s mission to provide high-quality online programs and to create better citizens in a complex world.”

“Many professionals – including teachers, social workers and criminal justice practitioners – work with people who have faced traumatic experiences on a regular basis,” said Denise Leifker, associate professor and director of the master of arts in criminal justice program at Simpson. “Unfortunately, these same professionals don’t always have the skills needed to understand and assist the individuals they serve. This program was created to help improve that rising need.”

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, more than two thirds of children reported at least one traumatic event by age 16. Those who experience trauma are more likely to experience learning and behavioral disorders, as well as become incarcerated.

“At Starr Commonwealth, we are Driven to Heal trauma and build resilience in children and families,” said Elizabeth Carey, Starr Commonwealth president and CEO. “To do so, we must empower communities for whole health support. Criminal justice systems play a vital role in accomplishing this goal, and the positive ripple effect to such efforts creates a tremendous impact on the community’s future. We are honored to partner with Simpson College, and take pride in knowing that their students will help countless families flourish.”

Simpson College is a private, liberal arts college located in Iowa with campuses in Indianola, West Des Moines and online. Founded in 1860, the college has 1,268 undergraduate and graduate students. Simpson offers 74 majors, minors and programs in addition to three graduate programs. Outside of the classroom, Simpson is a member of the NCAA Division III American Rivers Conference, hosts eight Greek houses on campus and sponsors many extracurricular options for student involvement.
