August 2012 A New Look for Wellspring!
In one glimpse, a logo leaves a lasting impression about its brand and the personality of the organization it represents. Spurred on by Board Member, Ack Willets, Wellspring decided it was time to update our logo to better embody the vibrant, multi-faceted organization that Wellspring is today. The houses of multiple colors signify that there is no single path to recovery, and that Wellspring provides client-centered, individualized housing solutions and multi-disciplinary care. The tagline emphasizes our core mission and goal: mental health recovery. Our long-term plans and our day-to-day operations revolve around Wellspring’s commitment to help those with mental illnesses develop satisfying, hopeful, and contributing lives, despite the presence of a mental illness. Deepest thanks to Ack Willets and to Michael Osborne and his colleagues at Joey’s Corner, who designed the new logo.
Wellspring Remembers Philip P. Ardery, Founding Board Chair (1914 - 2012)
Celebrating Jackie Swigart, Ph.D. Wellspring’s Newest Honorary Lifetime Board Member
Jackie Swigart is the kind of person that makes an impression immediately. She is one of those very bright, strong, compassionate people that you immediately sense is a great leader. In 1979, John Y. Brown was elected Governor and he made good on his promise to appoint a woman to his Cabinet. He appointed Jackie as Secretary of the Department for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, which required her to oversee the regulation of industry in Kentucky, including the traditionally male-dominated strip mining industry and industrial factories around our state. As Secretary she also oversaw Conservation and Water Patrol. One can only imagine the kind of smarts and savvy required of a woman going into that world more than thirty years ago. Board Chair Jeff Yussman presents Jackie Swigart with a gift from Wellspring. Wellspring has been very fortunate to have had Jackie Swigart on our Board for almost our entire history. She was Board Chair from 1992-1996. It was during Jackie’s term as Board Chair that we opened the first Wellspring Crisis Stabilization Unit, which is now called the Frank M. Gaines Center. The opening of the CSU marked a significant step in the growth
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of Philip P. Ardery, but it is with deep gratitude that we remember him for the many ways he worked to make our world a better place. Phil was a World War II pilot who flew many dangerous missions and retired as a Major General. He served on numerous Boards, including serving as Board Chair of the National Heart Association and was a founding partner of the law firm now called Frost Brown Todd. Phil took civic responsibility very seriously and provides us with a vivid example of what a difference one person can make. Phil was a visionary and a man with many friends and strong connections. His vision, keen intelligence, and ability to recruit other powerful and passionate people combined to make great things happen. As one might expect from a Major General, Phil was courageous and undaunted. When he saw a need, he found a way to address it. It’s because of that attitude that Wellspring exists today. Phil’s neighbor, Bos Todd, had a son who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia in a time when supportive services were extremely limited and supportive housing was totally lacking. Phil did not have a family member with a disabling mental illness but he could continued on p. 2

see that there was a crying need in our community for support and housing for individuals with mental illnesses. He invested himself in creating a solution. He was instrumental in founding Wellspring in 1982, and was the first Board Chair of Wellspring. What began as a single staffed residence in Old Louisville is now an organization that has grown to 21 sites, including two Crisis Stabilization Units, two transitional housing programs, eight permanent supportive housing programs, and nine independent housing sites scattered across Jefferson County and surrounding counties. Spurred on by Phil’s visionary leadership, Wellspring has now served more than 7,000 people with severe and persistent mental illness through the provision of housing and supportive services. Shortly after founding Wellspring, Phil, Bos Todd, and Barry Bingham provided the impetus that led to the founding of NARSAD, the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, which is now known as the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. The story goes that Phil enlisted his old friend, Barry Bingham, Sr., first in the establishment of Wellspring and then in the founding of NARSAD. In addition to a lack of appropriate services they wanted to stimulate greater scientific interest in solving the riddles of mental illness. Since 1987, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation has awarded nearly $300 million in over 4,000 NARSAD grants to more than 3,100 scientists around the world. Phil was a member of NAMI Louisville, going all the way back to its very early days, and served on the Board for many years. He also served on the board of the Kentucky Mental Health Association (now known as Mental Health America-Kentucky Chapter). MHA KY awards the Philip P. Ardery Award annually to “honor a program or organization that provides significant service to the local or state-wide community regarding the promotion of mental health, prevention of mental illness, and improvement in diagnosis and treatment for people with mental illness.” His concern for health-related issues reached beyond mental health. Louisville civic leaders had formed the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in the early 1950s to develop and operate Louisville’s first rehabilitation hospital. Phil got involved and early on and through the efforts and support of many others, including important gifts from Amelia Brown Frazier, the rehab hospital was able to expand and achieve excellence as the Frazier Rehab Center. As a Board member, he joined with others to bring Frazier into the fold of Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services (JHHS) and served on the JHHS Board for many years. Phil’s civic and charitable service during his retirement years extended into many areas beyond healthcare. He served actively on the Boards of Directors of the Kentucky Horse Park, the Ballet Español, The Filson Historical Society, the Kentucky Historical Society, and the Thomas D. Clark Foundation. Thousands of us have benefited from the leadership of this courageous man, who stood up for what he believed in, who fought for justice, who refused to be bound by narrow and outmoded ways of thinking. He constantly questioned, moved beyond the boundaries, and refused to draw lines that kept others out. There is much more that could be said about Phil, but suffice it to say he was one of a kind and, while he will be sorely missed, he leaves one heck of a legacy. The Ardery family asks that gifts in Phil’s memory be sent to Wellspring, or another charity of your choice. You can find links to Phil’s obituary and a Courier-Journal article that paid tribute to his life at www.wellspringky.org.

When I think of Phil... ...I think of a gallant man. A gallant, gallant man. Gallant as in courtly. as in courageous. as in loyal. as in open to adventure and all things new. Gallant as in caring. as in fighting for justice. as in standing up for what he believed in. Gallant as in smart - really, really, really smart. as in funny. as in courteous. Gallant as in generous - giving, brushing off thanks, making you feel as if you had done something for him. Some years ago, at a celebration for Anne and Phil, I quoted Shakespeare and said of him: This was the noblest Roman of them all... His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ‘This was a man!’ And it rings true for me today, but I would add this: Phil’s mind moved quickly and widely. He didn’t suffer fools gladly. He refused to be bound by narrow and outmoded ways of thinking. I’m sure he irritated some. We liked to talk about theology. He would twinkle at me and say, “I’m really a heretic, you know.” Yes, he was, if by heretic we mean someone who constantly questioned. Someone who pushed at the edges - and beyond. Someone who looked for God outside and beyond the officially approved places. Someone who declined to worship the small, comfortable God of the smug. Someone who refused to draw lines that kept others out. But no heretic if we think of the fierce God of the prophets. Phil would be right there with Amos: I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. ... Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Phil, may you come ever closer to the God who made and formed you, who is greater than any of our words or songs or doctrines, whose love is stronger than death. The Rev. Lucinda Laird Rector, St. Matthews Episcopal Church

Implementing Illness Management & Recovery at Ardery House by Emily Hill, Peer Support Specialist As part of our senior year internship at Kent School of Social Work I was required to do a capstone project. My capstone was to be my legacy that I left behind to make my agency a little better than it was before I came. I did my internship at Wellspring’s Ardery House, and after 29 years it was difficult to find anything to improve on. After some thought (and advice from Heather) I decided to run a new wellness group, developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, called the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program. It focused on teaching the residents valuable recovery and independent living skills such as building social support, coping with persistent symptoms, creating a personalized definition of recovery, and much more. When many of the residents come in to the program at Ardery they have never heard of the concept of recovery so it is important to start there and work forward. The program helps them to envision what recovery means to them and then sets goals to reach that personal definition by using the skills learned in the program. The residents took to the program right away and said that they wished more places offered programs like IMR. Ardery is still using the IMR program with great results. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Ardery and will take the experience with me into the future. I am honored to have had a chance to make even a small difference. As a result of her efforts Emily won 3rd place for her capstone project out of a class of 50 other students. Congratulations Emily!!
Wellspring Staff Members Attend Peer Support Training in New Mexico Our peer specialists and other Rx Housing staff participated with other staff from around the nation in a 3-day conference with workshops that focused on “Committing to Authentic Peer Support.” The program will continue with webinar participation for a total 6-month commitment. Our involvement has allowed us to strengthen our peer services, but more importantly has affirmed our role as leaders in the field. Wellspring peer specialists are committed to recovery goals, team participation, and client service. The peer specialist provides a unique and valued aspect of the service array that offers hope to our clients in ways traditional service often cannot.
Wellspring Remembers Mental Health Advocate, Cynthia Coe
A long-time Wellspring staff member, Cynthia passed away on March 1, 2012. She will be dearly missed by all, but especially by the residents of Wellspring’s Concord Apartments, who she considered her extended family. Memories abound of the years she spent with the “Concord ladies” and the fun they shared together. Cynthia was their “Bingo Buddy” and was always ready with a story to make them laugh. She loved to cook, and her Spinach & Artichoke dip remains a house favorite. “She was always kind, and always there for us,” say the ladies. “She was so generous with her love and her time. Even after she retired, she always stayed in touch.” We will carry with us her sense of justice and her irreverent sense of humor, and always cherish her for the love and caring she shared so bountifully.
Special Thanks to Volunteer, Becky Gootee!
We’d like to extend our most heartfelt thanks to our longtime supporter, Becky Gootee, who volunteered in our administrative center every Wednesday this spring. Becky said she volunteered because she wanted to give back to Wellspring – her son was a client for two years and spent time at Ardery House and the CSUs. “My husband and I could never repay Wellspring,” she said. “The care our son received was worth a gajillion dollars! Wellspring provided him a home in a time of crisis and enabled him to transition back to a life worth living.” The admin staff misses seeing Becky’s smiling face every week and hopes she visits often!
