tenacity 2012 Annual Report

Easter Seals TriState

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” -Henry Ford

On July 1, 2012, Easter Seals Work Resource Center combined with the publicly funded programs of Jewish Vocational Service to become Easter Seals TriState. Our new organization has over 100 years of combined experience serving the needs of individuals with disabilities and economic disadvantages. While we are still relatively early in our existence as a new organization, we believe Mr. Ford would judge our first year a resounding success based on how well we are working together as one. Bringing together two strong organizations has unleashed creative energy and a renewed commitment to changing the world for the individuals we serve—a lofty aspiration, to be sure, but truly our purpose. The eighteen months covered in this annual report represent an intense period of growth, mission fulfillment, and transformation. We created a new strategic plan and established a new vision for our agency’s future and the future of those we serve. Staff, board members, volunteers, and individuals served helped review and renew our core beliefs and values. You will see those beliefs and values come to life in the stories we share in this report. We believe there are many opportunities before us to enrich the lives of those we serve and the communities in which they live, learn, work and play. It is an exciting time to be a part of Easter Seals TriState. We welcome your feedback and invite you to join us in our work. Sincerely,

Pam Green, Warren Weber, President and CEO Board Chair

This annual report covers the twelve-month fiscal year spanning July 1, 2011, through June 30,2012. It also includes the six-month period of July 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, allowing us to transition from a July -June to a calendar fiscal year. 1

Vision Home Choice keeps hopes and dreams alive Jessie Ramsey was recovering in a nursing home following a stay in the hospital. To help her make the transition back home, she connected to Easter Seals TriState Home Choice facilitator, Sue. Home Choice, a statewide program facilitating the transition from nursing facility to home, is funded by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

“I’m so grateful that I can stay in my home. I couldn’t sit in the nursing home any longer thinking of all the things I had to do here.”

Sue worked to put the right supports in place at home to ensure Jessie didn’t experience medical complications that might mean re-entry to the skilled nursing facility. Without the supports, she could not return to the comfort of her home and continue her painting and spending time with her family. Sue worked with Jessie’s church and also visited her home. When Sue went to the home to ensure a safe environment, she found that Ms. Ramsey was also taking care of her 22 year-old great nephew. The nephew was living with a developmental disability. By also connecting the nephew to services with Hamilton County DD Services, the entire family is living a more comfortable life. Ms. Ramsey now can stay at home and do what she likes best, paint landscapes and portraits. She is also comforted with the knowledge her nephew will be taken care of in the future.

Our vision is a community where everyone experiences the pride of achievement and the security of belonging.

Mission Easter Seals TriState empowers individuals with disabilities and disadvantages to more fully live, learn, work and play in our communities

GROWTH We challenge ourselves and others to continually learn and innovate.

Putting the pieces together Many teenagers at some point feel their lives are in pieces. Sydney was no different. In addition, her mom was having difficulty finding a job and making ends meet. Sydney didn’t want to be added trouble, so she retreated. Sydney’s mom discovered Clermont County Youth Services while working with Workforce One to find a job. She hoped Easter Seals TriState youth services staff could help her daughter focus on the future and begin to gain job skills as a teenager. Sydney found the structure she needed to discover something deep inside desire. Sydney desired a better life. She desired respect. She desired a better future and she found it was up to her to make it happen.

“They didn’t drag me along -they pushed me to be where I needed to be.”

Sydney worked with Easter Seals TriState youth services staff to develop a plan to achieve her goals. They pushed her when she needed it and they helped her find the confidence she needed to move forward.

While working with Clermont County Youth Services, Sydney received support in finding summer employment, connecting to Dress for Success for clothing and received tutoring to complete her classwork.

Over the summer, she was hired through the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce as an office assistant. Though this job threw her outside her comfort zone it was just the experience she needed to gain confidence and see that she can make a meaningful contribution in a professional environment.

Sydney has grown from an insecure teenager to a strong and independent young woman. She has spoken to more than 100 fellow youth at the Clermont County Youth symposium and is eager to mentor others in doing what they need to succeed.

“Because of this program I can be who I want to be - and I’m exactly who I want to be,” says Sydney. “Now, I feel I can do anything and can try anything. I’ve been able to earn money to help my mom out at home, but, more important, I’m ready for more.”

July 2012 Youth Services expands to Clermont County Easter Seals TriState’s long history of success serving youth under the Workforce Investment Act, precipitated the expansion into Clermont County in 2012 and, in 2013, a more recent expansion into Butler County. Youth receive case management, connections to summer and part-time employment, tutoring and other supports that help them focus on their education while planning their future.

“I volunteer because of the committee itself. It’s the most fun I’ve had working on a committee in years. Plus, you can’t beat the cause.”

- Danny Korman, Owner, Park+Vine, ReUse-apalooza! Committee Member

“I have seen Sydney grow from an unsure teen to an empowered young woman and I expect she will do great things.”

- Chelsea Engel, Youth Services Coordinator

In 2012, more than 2,600 volunteer hours helped our events connect people to our mission.

Singled out as an exceptional practice during the agency’s recent Medicaid audit and its CARF survey, Mary Lou’s approach empowers people served to take more control of their health.

Behind the stories: The role of the staff nurse. Easter Seals TriState Registered Nurse Mary Lou Doran was frustrated. Despite specific instructions from his doctor and his mother, Ray couldn’t get his diabetes under control. With Mary Lou’s experience in working with people with developmental disabilities, she knew repeated verbal instructions weren’t going to result in a different outcome. She developed a customized pictorial guide to help Ray and his mother understand the connections between diet, carbohydrates and insulin—and a quick and easy visual to track when he took his medicine. Changes like these are the reason Mary Lou says she has “hardly ever been happier” at a job. Knowing she makes positive contributions to an ever-evolving effort to provide health management for the people served at Easter Seals TriState, she looks forward as a new program unfolds. Vocational rehabilitation comprises a large sector of focus at Easter Seals TriState. “We know health and wellness are directly tied to employment success,” said Pam Green, president and CEO. “That’s why an official system to track the health and wellness of the people we serve is essential to their ongoing success.” Bethesda Inc. recently awarded Easter Seals Tristate a $375,000 three-year grant to improve and expand services and implement technology toward transforming service provision to people with disabilities, empowering them to take more control of their health. Mary Lou is thrilled to be working on the design and implementation of a program we hope will ultimately strengthen health and wellness in the workplace. She looks forward to the development of a tool to provide “real-time” information about health and major life changes and choices to help her better identify effective practices.

“One of the reasons we’re in business is to raise the value of the cleaning industry and the dignity and professionalism of the janitor. We see great value in our industry and our partners and like to help people with a hand up, not a hand out.”

-Roy Breehne, Plant Manager, Kaivac Inc.

Growing confidence “This job keeps me from sitting at home AND I earn money for the things I like to do.“ James works onsite at Kaivac five days a week. After losing his position, James was discouraged and ready to give up. Finding his confidence again by doing a good job, he loves his work at Kaivac and is proud to show that people with disabilities can do anything they set their mind to doing. James says that his work makes him want to be better. He is now focusing on improving his health. He has lost more than 70 pounds and needs fewer medications to manage his health conditions.

Mobile work crews make for good business Since 1997, Kaivac has provided solutions for building maintenance crews to keep their restrooms and facilities clean while also elevating the position of janitorial workers. Within this business is a need to supply customers with its special cleaning solutions and, in 2005, Kaivac chose Easter Seals TriState’s employment center in Hamilton to fulfill this need. By using our center to further Kaivac’s business, they have provided job training for hundreds of people with disabilities over the years. Recently, the company chose to bring in Easter Seals TriState mobile work crews to perform the work on site. The crews operate similarly to the onsite employment centers. Each crew is led by an Easter Seals TriState staff member and provides paid employment for people with disabilities. “It’s a great interim step for the people we serve who are preparing for community employment,” says Jonathon Sherwood, manager of organizational employment in Butler County. “They get to learn what it’s like to go to a community site while still working in a supported environment with others facing similar challenges.” Kaivac has embraced the concept of providing on-site packaging and fulfillment services and has expanded from one work crew to three in a short time. “The work crews from Easter Seals play an integral role in helping us improve our manufacturing throughput in a flexible and cost-effective manner,” says Roy Breehne, Kaivac Inc. plant manager. “There’s a certain joy that comes from seeing people engaged in productive and healthy activities. The work crews are contributing in a real and meaningful way and it’s good to know we play a part in this.”

Courage

The Easter Seals TriState partnership with Kaivac provides nearly 30 people with paid job experience.

Rebuilding a life board by board John Lyons had grown up in foster care and never quite fit in. Young adulthood was equally challenging and he wanted more. At the age of 23 he finally found his home with the U.S. Army. There, he felt he belonged, and flourished. The realities of war left him with traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder resulting in discharge and the dissolution of the career he loved. He came back to the town he left to re-establish his life from the ground up. He found he had little. So he started by getting some land and purchasing a mobile home. Unfortunately, the home he could afford was nearly unliveable — the previous owner “They were help when had lived with as many as 44 cats. At the end of his rope, John reached out to Operation Vets THRIVE I really needed it. and the Community OneSource. There he spoke with I didn’t want to Jessica. Jessica, a veteran herself, understood how hard it was for him to make that call and found ways ask for help, but to help him.

everyone needs help sometime.”

Jessica made several calls and was able to get material donations from a local Lowe’s store, and found subsidies which have made it possible for John to rehab his new home. He is now more than halfway finished with rehabbing his new home and making a new life for himself.

Operation Vets THRIVE

In 2012, The Farmer Family Foundation and The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. / U.S. Bank Foundation came together to create a community response to the needs of returning veterans in our communities. They charged Easter Seals TriState with the tasks of rallying community partners and resources, leveraging national resources through the Dixon Center and Easter Seals national headquarters, and creating a network of support and employment programs specifically for our men and women who have given so much to our country and our community. Our vision is a community where all veterans thrive, where their unique talents are valued and utilized, and where a network of support is there if they or their families need asistance. 7

If you would like to be part of achieving our vision, call Tim Duening at 513-745-6791.

Forward Focus We create today’s opportunity by moving beyond yesterday’s problem. “We can never do enough for our wounded veterans. Our family funded Operation Vets THRIVE because our returning heroes deserve our thanks and support. As these young people come back, this program will help them to find opportunities for meaningful employment.” -Dick Farmer, Chairman, Farmer Family Foundation

Community OneSource Supporting Operation Vets THRIVE are five people, four of whom are military veterans, who are dedicating their careers to help our local veterans thrive where they live. In its first year of operation, community convening sessions brought together 150 community organizations with established programs serving veterans and their families. A Community OneSource was established to connect these resources and make it easy for veterans and their families to navigate. In its first year, Operation Vets THRIVE aspires to serve more than 300 veterans and their families, placing at least 100 into employment.

Community OneSource: 513-878-2200 Operation Vets THRIVE staff include: (front) Jason Vinson, U.S. Marine Corps (ret.); Nita Renfrow; (back) Jessica Zeller, U.S. Navy (ret.); Tim Duening (director), U.S. Navy (ret.); and Pat Nowak, U.S. Air Force (ret.).

“We are proud to be part of the local support system for our returning veterans. Every one of us plays a critical role, and together we can ensure that each one of our heroes has the opportunity to meet his or her basic needs and reach personal goals.” -Tim Maloney, President and CEO, Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. / U.S. Bank Foundation
