I was staying at the Salvation Army. I was homeless and depressed. Then I found out about Wellspring…and since then they’ve helped me with my mental health problems and helped me get housing. I’m a lot happier now. Choosing Wellspring has changed my life!
In March of 1982 several community leaders saw a need and chose to make a difference. Wellspring was born from that choice. Wellspring Annual Report 2011
Crescent House Residents and Staff
When we started paying closer attention to what we were eating and how it was prepared, we decided to make some healthier choices. So we started buying more fruits, vegetables, and leaner meats and we’re trying to buy foods with less sugar and fats. It is tough to stick with these changes all the time, but we are committed to continuing the effort in the coming year.
Since then, Wellspring has served more than 6,000 people.

After I graduated from Ardery House, I found out that there was a place available at the Concord Apartments and I thought that would be a good choice for me. Now I know it really was the right choice! I have finally found my true home. Here, they have helped me through every phase of my recovery. They’re like my family and I feel loved and supported – I am so glad I chose to move here!
Last year, Wellspring served 453 people through our Crisis Stabilization Services (CSUs) and provided supportive housing to another 140 people. Wellspring Annual Report 2011

When I was chosen to be part of the Community Outreach team, I knew it would bring new challenges and new responsibilities. But as a Peer Support Specialist I am in the fortunate position of having addressed many of the issues our clients are grappling with. It’s very rewarding to use what I’ve learned to help others along their paths to recovery.
Of 453 clients served in our CSUs, 97% were treated without hospitalization.

Change is inevitable, yet we can’t always predict how or when it will find us. When I was offered the opportunity to move into a different role at Wellspring as Clinical Supervisor of the David J. Block Center, I made the choice to leave behind the identity I had carried for 5 years as the agency-wide Art Therapist and step into new waters. It was a daunting but exciting prospect and one I felt necessary to pursue for my continued growth. Choosing to create change can be a much different experience than having change forced upon us. I try to remind the clients I work with to look for the areas of their lives where they have the power to make effective choices for themselves, big or small. With this comes risk, of course, but also the reward of discovering your strengths.
Of 453 clients served in our CSUs, 90% experienced a 20% or greater reduction in depressive symptoms. Wellspring Annual Report 2011

I was on the road to destruction – I had been in 8 halfway houses and nothing was working for me. But when I first saw that name “Journey House,” I knew it would be the right place for me; I just knew that it was supposed to be a part of my journey. They taught me to be available and accountable, and to be willing to make the choices that I had to in order to recover. They loved me until I could love myself, and now I know I never need to look back – there’s so much to look forward to!

With encouragement from Seven Counties Services, I chose to connect with Wellspring. They helped me to see how taking my meds could help me stay stable, and to embrace the positive impact they could have on my life. Now I have a job and I can function normally in my everyday life. I’ve also chosen to stay active in AA and now serve as a sponsor for four others in their recovery. What a difference – and what a great choice Wellspring was for me!
100% of Journey House graduates had more than 12 months of sobriety.

Wellspring has helped me in stabilizing my medication, which makes such a difference. And they’ve helped me develop the skills that I need in order to remain stable – plus reminding me that recovery from my illness, schizophrenia, really is possible. And now that I’m living in the new apartments, I am happier than ever that I chose to be a part of Wellspring.
With new innovations in medications and increased availability of supportive services, Wellspring witnesses the power of recovery every day as adults with mental illness rebuild their lives and participate in meaningful ways in our community. housing ... hope ... recovery: living solutions for mental health recovery
Willy – Certified Peer Specialist
I’ve learned the skills it takes to live with stability in spite of having a mental illness. I’m really pleased to now be helping some of our community’s most vulnerable members have a chance at recovery. Helping them see possibilities and make choices that can work for them helps me, too. I can look back at what I chose to do and how that helped me at the time, and see how all the choices together got me to where I am today.
At Wellspring, we believe that recovery from psychiatric illness does not mean a cure; rather, it means developing a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life despite the presence of mental illness. Wellspring Annual Report 2011
“They stuck with me, and I stuck with them
– and that’s what pulled me through.”
Living Solutions for Mental Health Recovery Housing...hope...recovery: Wellspring’s Guide to Services
Our Mission
To promote the recovery of persons with mental illness through leadership in the development of quality housing and rehabilitation services.
History and Growth
Founded in 1982, Wellspring works to improve the lives of individuals with mental illness in our community. From Ardery House, our flagship site where Wellspring first began providing Transitional Housing, Wellspring moved on to developing permanent Supportive Housing and Independent Housing. In 1995, Wellspring opened Kentucky’s first Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU), the Frank M. Gaines Center. A second CSU, the David J. Block Center, opened in 2007. In addition to our Jefferson County programs, Wellspring operates one site in Shelby County. Wellspring has been recognized as Kentucky’s pioneer in providing such services; indeed, Wellspring is the only such provider in this seven-county region.
Philosophy
At Wellspring, we believe that recovery from psychiatric illness does not mean a cure; rather, it means developing a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life despite the presence of mental illness. Recovery is a unique process for each person. To most effectively promote recovery from mental illness, the community must respond with an array of options to meet individual clients’ needs and preferences.
Staffing
All programs are overseen by Wellspring’s Director of Programs, Patrick Rhodes, MSSW, LCSW. Wellspring operates with a staff of over 100 professionals and paraprofessionals, and annually serves over 600 clients from Jefferson, Shelby, and surrounding counties. Wellspring’s staff is continuously trained in the best practices in the field of mental illness.
Service Fees
Costs for Wellspring’s programs and housing rentals vary according to site. However, all charges are based on a sliding fee scale.
Services and Housing
Wellspring offers a variety of programs that provide a best-practices approach for our clients’ recovery. These include crisis stabilization services at two locations, two transitional housing programs, three highly supported permanent housing programs, and over 100 units of deeply subsidized rental housing, including supported apartments, independent apartments, and single-family homes.
Crisis Stabilization Services
The goal of Crisis Stabilization Unit programming is to help clients in an acute psychiatric episode achieve stabilization and avoid hospitalization. Wellspring’s 2 CSU sites, the Frank M. Gaines Center and the David J. Block Center, provide a total of 16 crisis stabilization beds. This program serves clients who are experiencing acute symptoms of mental illness, such as severe depression, mania, or symptoms of psychosis. This is the only Wellspring program that does not require a severe and persistent mental illness diagnosis to be eligible for services. While at a CSU, clients receive intensive treatment, close monitoring with high levels of staff support, and medications prescribed by a psychiatrist. Multi-disciplinary Staff includes: • Full-time Psychiatrist • 7 Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counselors • Expressive Therapists • 24-hour staff double coverage • Peer Support staff

The David J. Block Center provides eight crisis stabilization beds. When it opened in 2007, this site doubled Wellspring’s previous capacity. The David J. Block Center, situated in downtown Louisville, serves both men and women. Admissions are accepted seven days a week.
The Gaines Center Crisis Stabilization Unit, which opened in 1995, was Kentucky’s first residential, communitybased crisis unit. Until Wellspring opened the David J. Block Center, it remained as this region’s only such program. In 2005, the Gaines Center CSU received the Mental Health Association of Kentucky’s prestigious Philip P. Ardery Award, honoring ten years of urgent, ongoing psychiatric care and treatment in a community setting. The Gaines Center CSU houses eight men and women, in a homelike setting at the edge of downtown Louisville. Admissions are accepted seven days a week.
Ardery House opened in 1982. As our first site, it was named in honor of Philip P. Ardery, Wellspring’s founding board chair. This program helps individuals who are leaving the hospital and/or experiencing homelessness achieve independent living. All participants have a diagnosis of mental illness; nearly half also have a cooccurring substance abuse disorder.
Wellspring opened Journey House in 1998 to address the needs of Louisville’s homeless women with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse issues who were falling through the cracks of a service system ill-prepared to simultaneously treat these illnesses. Most of these women are also victims of violence, and have experienced multiple failures in treatment and independent living prior to entering. Journey House is the first residential program in Kentucky specifically designed to serve this population; it accommodates 8 women. Staff is extensively trained in both mental illness and substance abuse treatment. The program provides intensive support to the women as they struggle with the issues of recovery from both illnesses.

Ardery House provides room and board, life-skills coaching, social opportunities, case management, and individual and group therapy for 13 men and women.

Wellspring operates 3 supportive housing programs that enable tenants with extensive psychiatric hospitalization histories to participate fully in the community. In 2011, the 9-man Broadway House program, which opened in 1986, moved to new apartments south of Broadway. Concord Apartments, in the Hikes Point area, opened in 1987; it provides housing for 8 women in four two-bedroom apartments. Crescent House, a single-family home for 3 men, opened in 2003.
Wellspring provides over 100 units of deeply subsidized rental housing for adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses. Our tenants have very limited incomes; many would be homeless or live in substandard housing without this resource. This housing is coupled with appropriate support services from Wellspring and Seven Counties Services, providing tenants a permanent home base for their journey of recovery. Openended leases and a variety of housing types and locations allow participants to choose the best fit for their needs. While most of Wellspring’s housing is spread geographically throughout Jefferson County, the agency also has one fourunit residence located in Shelby County, in the Shelbyville area. Wellspring also provides scattered site, leased apartments, with supportive services, for 22 residents with mental illness who have been identified as chronically homeless.
Staff complement includes: • Master’s level clinical social workers • Consulting psychiatrist • Residential staff coverage (variable, according to clients’ needs) • 24-hour on-call clinical staff

A Message from Wellspring’s Leaders
T
here is a natural tendency as one approaches thirty to look back over your first twenty-nine years and ask soul-searching questions like: “How have I changed?, What have I learned?, Where am I going?, Do I like what I have become?” Wellspring turns thirty this year and it is time to reflect upon and celebrate our rich history, and to think about and plan for our future. We have done both. Wellspring opened its doors in March of 1982 because several strong community leaders saw a need and sought to make a difference. Phil Ardery, our founding Board Chair, was fond of reciting the proverb “it is better to light a candle, than to curse the darkness” as a way to describe those early efforts. Founding Wellspring was both visionary and practical. There was a significant need in our community that wasn’t being addressed, so our founders decided to create an agency dedicated to providing housing for persons with severe and persistent mental illness. Wellspring has served more than 6,000 people since that day in 1982 when the first resident moved into the first residence in Old Louisville. Now Wellspring has nineteen sites and several more in the pipeline. We now have a broad array of housing and supportive services. For the most part, we own the housing, but in recent years we have expanded our reach by providing supportive services to persons in leased apartments as well. Last year we served over 450 people through our crisis stabilization services and provided supportive housing to over 160 others. We employ over 120 people in full and parttime positions and have a budget of over $3 million.

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
Highlights from Wellspring’s 3-Year Strategic Plan Programming & Housing • Gain accreditation through CARF (Commission on the Accreditation of Rehab Facilities) • Grow supportive services, programs, housing by 15%–20%
Finance & Infrastructure • Increase days of cash reserves • Strengthen finances • Become an increasingly competitive employer • Open Wellspring’s first centralized headquarters
Resource Development • Increase fundraising revenue • Heighten Wellspring’s visibility in the community
Facilities Management • Augment staffing to adequately maintain our housing • Increase volunteer involvement to help beautify and maintain properties
We have certainly grown over these past three decades! As we have grown, though, so has the need, and the original mission of the agency is as relevant today as it was in 1982. Our founders could never have imagined the growth that we have experienced, but they knew that there was a great need for community-based housing for our fellow citizens with mental illness. In the middle of the 20th century, our regional mental hospital housed more than 2,000 people. Thankfully that census has dramatically decreased. Today being diagnosed with a mental illness doesn’t consign one to live out one’s days in an institution, segregated from society. For the most part, persons with mental illness live in homes and apartments just like the rest of us, and hopefully they have the supports they need to live full and productive lives. However, when those supports are missing or absent, too many fall through the cracks and end up homeless or incarcerated. Wellspring is committed to doing its part to bolster the integration and success of those among us living with these treatable brain disorders. In many ways, this is a time for great optimism. Wellspring is firmly committed to a belief in recovery from mental illness. Science has yet to discover a cure for severe mental illness, but with new innovations in medications and increased availability of supportive services, we witness the power of recovery every day as persons with mental illness rebuild their lives and participate in meaningful ways in our communities. To address the continuing needs, our Board and key staff worked together this past year to develop a new strategic plan that identifies our challenges and growth opportunities, and which serves as a guide for sustaining the agency over the next three years.
Wellspring’s updated strategic plan focuses on all of the key dimensions of our operations from programming, housing development, resource development, strengthening our infrastructure and financial position, and caring for our assets, from staff to facilities. This plan is helping to guide us in our continuing work; we are well on our way to achieving many of our strategic goals, and striving to achieve the rest. The economy, however, is taking a real toll on those with the least, thus having a serious impact on many persons with mental illness who were just getting by even when the economy was strong. Consequently, the demand for our services and housing has grown over the past year. We are doing our best to keep pace with the need but we have an increasing number of people waiting for housing and supportive services. Wellspring has many dedicated and talented staff members, board members, and volunteers, yet we still cannot meet all the needs without your continuing help (for which we have been so grateful over these past thirty years). Without you, Wellspring would never have been able to help and house 6,000 people, nor could we envision a future where all people with mental illness are able to join with us as fully contributing members of society. With your committed help, we can continue to change lives, and in so doing have an increasingly positive impact on our little corner of the world because when our neighbors with mental illness recover, the entire community benefits! As such, we look forward to partnering with you over the next 30 years as we together work to improve the lives of those among us with severe and persistent mental illness!

Wellspring Volunteer Opportunities
here are so many ways to get involved with Wellspring – whether your passion and skills involve projects around the home and yard, cooking, grilling and throwing parties, or “collecting for a cause,” we have plenty of opportunities for you! • With all of our houses, there are always minor repair and painting jobs awaiting, and plenty of gardening to do, too. A fresh coat of paint always freshens up a home, and weeds never take a holiday! • For those who love to cook, delivering a meal, a dessert, a pizza, or a brunch to one of our programs would be a real treat – our house cooks would love a break. • Organizing a collection of items that are always in demand. Donated household cleaning supplies, personal care items, and paper goods can make a huge difference for both our programs and residents. Or, on a bigger scale, we often need help to furnish apartments for program graduates or homeless tenants moving into their own apartments. • Be a Gift Card Genie – our residents and houses would love gift cards in small denominations from stores like Walgreen’s, Kroger, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, and any of the pizza delivery places! Form a team. Pick a month. Pool everyone’s change – you’d be amazed at how many gift cards you could get! • Provide a Party – a birthday cake, a holiday celebration, a “picnic sack” full of hotdogs, chips, coleslaw, and brownies,” a “Movie Night” bag with popcorn, candy, and caffeine-free soft drinks. You get the idea – anything to make a day special. • Adopt a “house” for the holidays! We’ll get residents’ “Wish Lists” and you get a group of friends to play “Secret Santa” and make their wishes come true. • We always need gifts for our Celebration of Recovery and other special times throughout the year. Small treats like nice new personal care items, small electronics, computer games, hats/gloves/scarves/umbrellas, light-hearted DVDs and CDs, board games, arts & crafts supplies and kits, journals, drawing paper, drawing pencils & pens, etc. • And then there are committees! If you’d like to serve on the Wellspring Derby Preview Party committee, our Annual Golfing Event committee, or another board committee as an adhoc member, we’d love to talk with you about our specific needs and see where your interests and talents would best be utilized. • If you are interested in helping Wellspring help adults in our community who have a severe and persistent mental illness, please contact us – we’d be glad to help you with any of the projects that most interest you! Let us know of your interest via our website: www.wellspringky.org or call 637-4361.

About the Art Art Therapy is part of Wellspring’s supportive services programming. Expressive Therapist Megan Zoeller provides instruction and encouragement to the program participants. The artwork featured throughout this report was created by Wellspring’s program participants.
Megan Zoeller, ATR.-BC “ I believe art, and other creative mediums, provide an alternative means of expression when words fail us. I feel art as a healing therapy offers our clients a safe place in which they can express themselves and their emotions in a concrete format. It is wonderful as an expressive therapist to witness and encourage Wellspring clients through the creative process towards improved physical, mental, and emotional health.” Credits Cover Art – created by Scott Gilbertson Inside Back Cover Art – created by Kelly Back Cover Art – created by Geraine
