• Through research we identify best practices. • Through intervention we bring those practices to children and families of diverse communities. • Through training we disseminate skills in research and quality care. • Through advocacy we use scientific knowledge to expand public awareness and inform public policy. December 2009 Dear Friends, Welcome to the 2009 Annual Report for Judge Baker Children’s Center! Within these pages you will learn about the Baker, the children and families whom we serve, and the positive impact the Baker has had on all their lives. Every day we are taking lessons learned in the laboratory and using this knowledge to change the future for children coping with emotional and behavioral problems. We offer hope when there is often none and open the world for them in a whole new way. Throughout our history, the Baker has been a leader in developing and disseminating more effective methods to create a promising future for families and their children struggling to overcome mental health problems. Never have the prospects for success been better than today. We know how to help these children build a future filled with possibility. Our challenge is to marshal the resources necessary to do so—to make the very best care available without delay. As Chair of the Board of Trustees, I have the privilege of witnessing first hand all the incredible work being done at the Baker. There are countless individuals whose lives have been forever changed because they came to Judge Baker Children’s Center. The reality is, however, that many more still need and could benefit from our work. Like other nonprofits in the greater Boston area, we, too, faced financial challenges in the fiscal year 2009. Our fundraising efforts were strained by the economic downturn. I am very grateful, however, that our loyal donors and new supporters stepped forward to ensure that even in these difficult times we were able to provide critical programs and services when they were needed most. I remain optimistic that the Baker’s future, too, is filled with promise—and the goal of expanding our reach to help children and their families all across the country will be achieved.

Outcome assessments are carried out at pre-treatment weekly, quarterly, and at immediate post-treatment. Assessments include measures of individual youth problems and disorders, youth and parent perceptions of treatment satisfaction, school achievement and behavior, and quality and ongoing use of additional mental health services. Feedback has been extremely positive, both from client families and from clinicians.

PROGRAMS
NEACWCD Since 1984, Judge Baker Children’s Center has been the home of the New England Association of Child Welfare Commissioners and Directors, a consortium of child welfare agency leaders and staff members from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Agency leaders created the Association to support the development and implementation of effective child welfare policy and practice through cross-systems learning. The Association’s work is grounded in the position that developing competent services for children and families requires sharing information, discussing mutual concerns, and learning from each other’s experience with past and current policy and practice implementation.

CHILD LANGUAGE AND DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOPATHOLOGY
PATHS OVER TIME AND ACROSS GENERATIONS PROJECT
(Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH))
Founding Principal Investigator: Stuart T. Hauser, MD, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator: Claudio O. Toppelberg, MD
Co-Investigators: Eric Dearing, Ph.D., Brian Gibbs, Ph.D. and Christos Mantzoros, MD
The Child Language & Developmental Psychopathology project is studying the relations of language development and mental health in childhood, particularly in Englishlanguage-learning children. Most English language learners are U.S.-born children of immigrant parents, a rapidly growing segment of the U.S. child population. Approximately 20% of American children are children of immigrant parents. We are interested in these children’s emotional and behavioral lives with a focus on how they influence and are influenced by their language development. The studies conducted have been based in clinics in Cambridge, Mass., and in 16 elementary public schools in Boston. Our studies also include cognitive, social and school factors, and the role of psychosocial and biological stress, in the context of other risk and protective factors. Our approach is trying to disentangle the specific impact of normal and abnormal language development on the lives of these new American children.
CHILD SYSTEM AND TREATMENT ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS [CHILD STEPS] (A program of the Network on Youth Mental Health, funded by the John D. And Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation) Network Director: John R. Weisz, Ph.D., ABPP In youth mental health care, the gap between science and practice is wide and long-standing. Innovative treatments that have been shown to work in clinical trials tend to be used only in additional clinical trials, not in clinical practice. This network and its projects are directed toward bridging the science–practice gap and bringing beneficial treatment practices to youth in mental health service settings.

Efforts to bring tested and proven treatments for child mental health problems into everyday clinical practice are hampered by: (a) a lack of information on what treatments have been tested and shown to work, and (b) the cumbersome nature of some practices that grow out of research. To address these problems, this project will include a metaanalysis of the outcome research findings on interventions for children, and testing of assessment and intervention procedures designed to be streamlined, efficient and thus well-suited for use in everyday clinical care of children.
Principal Investigator: Judith A. Crowell, MD
Project Director: Dorothy E. Warner, Ph.D. This longitudinal study begun in 1978 examines paths to midlife adaptation, based on self-report, interviews and observations of participants and their families, beginning when they were adolescents. Half of our participants have been intensively studied with their families for the past 31 years; the other half of our sample is a new cohort of demographically-matched participants from African-American and Caribbean-American communities in Boston, which we are recruiting through community-based participatory research methods. In our current phase, we are collaborating with the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to study the ways in which aspects of mental health, relationships and experiences with adversity—including racial discrimination—influence physical health in midlife. We have also studied our participants’ children from infancy through adolescence.
PREVENTION OF DEPRESSION PROJECT Principal Investigators: William R. Beardslee, MD and Tracy R. G. Gladstone, Ph.D. Project Director: Phyllis Rothberg, LICSW Part of a national multi-state study, this research examines the effectiveness of a group cognitive–behavioral prevention program that provides strategies to deal with stress and avoid depression to adolescents (ages 13-17) with a family history of depression. As part of the project, small groups of teens attended eight weekly sessions and six monthly follow-up sessions run by a clinician, where they learned classic cognitive–behavioral skills to cope with typical adolescent pressures and tensions unique to growing up with a depressed parent. Additional funding has just been secured to follow these same adolescents across the transition to young adulthood, to determine the long-term effects of participating in this prevention program.
Director: William R. Beardslee, MD The Preventive Intervention Project was originally designed to examine the efficacy of two forms of cognitive, psychoeducational, preventive intervention: clinician-facilitated and lecture discussion group interventions. The project targeted families in which one or both parents had experienced serious affective disorder, and in which there were children in the nine- to-14-year age range who were not acutely ill. Overall, both interventions were found to have long-term positive effects, but the clinicianfacilitated intervention was associated with more positive change in parents and in children. Recently, the original clinician-facilitated intervention program has been adapted for new settings and populations locally, nationally and internationally. Current efforts are underway to adapt the revised clinician-facilitated intervention (i.e., Family Talk) for use on the Internet.
TEACHING MIDDLE-SCHOOL YOUTH COPING SKILLS FOR DEPRESSION: A SCHOOL-BASED INTERVENTION STUDY (Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)) Principal Investigator: John R. Weisz, Ph.D., ABPP Project Directors: Dikla Eckshtain, Ph.D. and Sarah Kate Bearman, Ph.D. Youth depression is a serious condition that causes genuine impairment and is an archenemy of school performance. It undermines concentration on classwork, zaps the energy and motivation needed to do homework, causes significant school absenteeism, and threatens the social connections boys and girls need for emotional well-being. Rates of depression increase sharply following puberty, highlighting the public health significance of treatment in early adolescence. Thus, the middle school years may be an ideal time to help boys and girls build coping skills to ward off depression. Our long-term goal is to develop and refine treatment for youth depression that is effective and deployable in a variety of youth settings. Here we focus on the setting in which evidence suggests that depression may be most likely to be detected and in which a great deal of everyday youth mental health care occurs: the school. In this clinical trial, 6th and 7th graders who show significant levels of depressive symptoms and those who meet criteria for a depressive disorder are randomly assigned to the two conditions (PASCET or Counselor Intervention), matched for group format and treatment dose. All treatment takes place in the middle schools. We assess levels of depression and other outcomes immediately after the end of treatment, and again at a one-year follow-up, to assess the long-term holding power of the effects.

Research/Training Overview
PREVENTIVE INTERVENTION PROJECT
Principal Investigator: Janina R. Galler, MD Co-PIs: Cyralene Bryce, MD, and Deborah Waber, Ph.D. (Human Studies) Co-PIs: David Mokler, Ph.D., Peter Morgane, Ph.D., Douglas Rosene, Ph.D. and Jill McGaughy, Ph.D. (Animal Studies) Research Coordinator: Sehar Mahmood Malnutrition afflicts nearly half of all children under five years of age who live in developing countries around the world and one in eight children living in the impoverished inner cities and rural areas of the United States. Childhood malnutrition harms the development of a child’s body and mind, threatening the ability to grow into an adult who can learn and earn enough to break the cycle of poverty that perpetuates this condition. Despite its prevalence, we do not yet know enough about which children are likely to suffer most, what contributes to resilience and the best ways of intervening to reverse the long-term effects of childhood malnutrition on growth and development. This research can help to formulate effective public policy recommendations. Dr. Galler conducts a 40-year life-span study of the effects of childhood malnutrition in Barbados on adult survivors and their offspring. She has parallel studies of prenatal malnutrition using animal models in which she studies behavioral and brain development.

It is distinguished by its commitment to multi-disciplinary training, including that of outstanding students drawn from a spectrum of sciences relevant to clinical psychiatry research. Student fields range from basic biological brain research, to family studies, to longitudinal developmental studies of psychopathology and resilience.
CHILD MENTAL HEALTH FORUM Director: Claudio O. Toppelberg, MD The Baker’s Child Mental Health Forum (CMHF) is a unique offering of academic lectures that focus on child mental health from many different perspectives. This is a monthly series of lectures featuring experts in the field of children’s mental health who present on a variety of subjects including psychiatry, psychology, social services, and pediatrics.

Depressive illness is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world today and places a profound economic burden on society. Youth depression is quite common and is associated with negative long-term consequences including impairment in school, work, and interpersonal relationships; substance abuse and suicide attempts. Most cases of recurrent adult depression have their roots in adolescence, and early onset depression is associated with a chronic, episodic course of illness. Risk factors for youth depression include adverse family environments, stressful life events, traumatic experiences, being female, living in poverty, low social support, ineffective coping, negative body Tracy Gladstone, Ph.D. image, and a negative cognitive style. However, the strongest risk factor for the development of depression is having a parent with depressive illness. Children of depressed parents are at increased risk for depression and for a range of internalizing and externalizing disorders, including depression. William R. Beardslee, MD
Preventive treatments may be the key to decreasing the burden of adolescent and adult depression on society and may be both more cost-effective and less distressing than waiting for the condition to appear and then trying to treat a full depressive episode.

Results through the eight-month follow-up indicated a significant prevention effect of the Cognitive–Behavioral Program. That is, 32.7% of the teens in the control group experienced a probable episode of depression during the follow-up interval, versus only 21.4% of the teens in the CBP. Results also indicated the presence of a significant moderator: current parental depression. Investigators found that teens who were assigned to the CBP and whose parents were not currently depressed had a much lower risk for depression in the interval than did teens in any other group. Data suggests that participating in a cognitive–behavioral intervention program may significantly reduce the incidence of depressive episodes in teens, but that current parental depression may well hamper the effects of prevention programs. This year, Beardslee and Gladstone have received additional funding from NIMH to conduct a follow-up of their original POD sample during the transition to early adulthood. The aims of this new study are to: (1) study the longer-term impact of CBP on preventing depression during the critical developmental transition to early adulthood, a period of multiple new life challenges and stressors; (2) examine biological and psychosocial moderators of intervention response; (3) examine the broader impact of the CBP program on sequelae of depression, including other mental and medical health problems and health risk behaviors; and (4) examine the long-term cost-efficacy of CBP, and the longer-term economic benefits of preventing or delaying the onset of mood disorders in adolescence. This new study will involve re-contacting the original POD sample for one final assessment during emerging adulthood, and also gathering interview, biological and self-report data from relatives. Data collection is currently underway.

The Prevention of Depression Study
The Prevention of Depression (POD) research project, also known as Teen Achieving Mastery over Stress (TEAMS), was developed to prevent the onset of Major Depressive Disorder in adolescents who are at risk for illness because they have a depressed parent, and because they themselves have struggled with depressive symptoms and/or disorder. This is a four-site effectiveness study, funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH). The Boston research site is housed here at Judge Baker Children’s Center, led by Principal Investigators William Beardslee and Tracy Gladstone. In the original study, across sites, investigators enrolled 316 at-risk adolescents (mean age 14.8, 58.5% female, 24.7% members of an ethnic or racial minority group), randomized them into either a cognitive– behavioral group prevention program (CBP) or usual care (TAU), and assessed them for psychopathology over time.

Alumni Feature MARTIN J. DRELL, MD 1975-1977
In 1987, Dr. Drell headed to New Orleans becoming Head of Infant, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine. In this position, he restarted the Child Division and its training program. In 1991, when the State of Louisiana looked to implement a continuum of care shaped by the CASSP* model, Dr. Drell was appointed Clinical Director of NOAH (New Orleans Adolescent Hospital). He spent 18 years in this position enhancing the Hospital’s services in the community. Tragically, Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana in August of 2005, forever changing the city and its people. NOAH was forced to evacuate to East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana where staff set up an inpatient unit in a vacant hospital building. Dr. Drell and his inpatient staff remained in Jackson for nine long months, returning to New Orleans in June of 2006. Three years after Katrina, Dr. Drell helped introduce NOAH’s mobile mental health clinic in an effort to make mental health services easier to access, especially for those children and adults dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Although mental health services are needed more than ever in New Orleans, the current recession and state budget cuts led to the closure of NOAH on August 31, 2009. Along with his duties as Head of Child Psychiatry at LSU, Dr. Drell currently manages child and adolescent outpatient services at the Psychiatry Department’s Behavioral Sciences Center (BSC) and is a consultant to the Louisiana State Office of Mental Health. Part of this consultation work is to improve mental health services to children and adolescents in the juvenile justice system returning Dr. Drell to his roots in forensics at the Baker, working with Dr. Donald Haynes Russell and the Boston Juvenile Court. Dr. Drell received his BA in English from the University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign in 1970 and earned his medical degree at the University of Illinois School of Medicine in Chicago (1974). He trained at Judge Baker Children’s Center from 1975-77. In October of 2009, Dr. Drell was installed as President-elect of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He has previously served as President of the Society of Professors of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (1996-1998) and President of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatry Residency Training (2000-2001).

Braving intermittent showers, 120 golfers headed out to play eighteen holes as part of their commitment to helping the children of Judge Baker Children’s Center. As a reward, the winners received an invitation to play in the Cadillac National Tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Ponta Vedra Beach, Florida. Jay Webber, of Tofias, PC, stepped up for his fourth consecutive year as chairman of the tournament planning committee. Jay continues to build on the past successes of this tournament by adding to the growing committee as well as expanding the participation opportunities to encourage a wider range of corporate support. He has made possible the very strong foundation upon which this tournament has been built. The Baker is grateful to have Jay on our team not only as the tournament chair but also as a member of our Board of Trustees! We thank him for his dedication to the mission and the success of the Baker.

BUSINESS & COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS
On October 4, 2008, Judge Baker Children’s Center participated in the 18th annual Rodman Ride for Kids. The Rodman Ride is an umbrella charity that raises funds for children’s related social service agencies in Massachusetts. The primary source of fundraising is this non-competitive bike tour through southeastern Massachusetts. Every children’s charity affiliated with the event has teams of riders that both participate in the Ride and solicit sponsorship support. Each agency is given a fundraising goal. If the goal is reached, the Ride will provide a 15% matching gift. This was the Baker’s third time participating in this event. We raised over $86,000 and had rider representation in every category: 25 miles, 50 miles and 100 miles. The following is a listing of our riders and our supporters for the Ride:
