A message from our executive director

A lot of progress for Youth Villages Oregon

Every day I am impressed by the work of our kids and families as they achieve

change in the face of incredible challenges. Despite personal histories of abuse, ne-

glect, mental illness, trauma and violence, they make the changes necessary to have

successful, productive lives. The work and ultimately the success belongs to them,

and it is hard earned. Here are some highlights of our success and change for our

youth, families, staff and organization.

n Collaborative Problem Solving — our program teams are in extensive CPS

training, enhancing our work with challenging youth. Dr. Stuart Ablon, director of

Think:Kids, is partnering with Youth Villages nationally.

n Psychiatry Team Expansion — Dr. Kirk Wolfe joins Drs. Deeney, Stoyanova and

Mak to expand our psychiatric services capacity.

n 2015-2017 Business Plan — After stakeholder interviews across Oregon, we have

adopted our business plan, which sets targets for meeting the diverse needs of our

communities. The plan helps ensure strategic investments in key locations where

services do not exist, as well as new services start-up in Oregon.

n Intercept Service Expansion — Services are available to youth in the juvenile

justice, child welfare, mental health and Oregon Youth Authority systems of care. In

three years we have gone from serving five families a day to serving 50.

n Cedar Bough Native American Residential Service Expansion — Continuing

the commitment we began in 2007 to healing through culture and tradition, we have

increased access for Pacific Northwest tribes.

n Facilities Improvements — Upgrades to our facilities enhance the environment

of care for youth in all residential services and support therapeutic goals.

n Rebecca Hancock is Director of Residential Services — With her leadership at

the Girls Center for Intensive Residential Treatment in Memphis and experience

with Intercept, Rebecca brings many talents to Oregon. Welcome, Rebecca!

All in all, we’ve made a lot of progress. Even so, we stand in awe of the amount of

change and progress our youth and families make every day. How can we not step

up to the continuing challenge of meeting their needs?

Thank you for your support. You too, are a change agent and a force for families!

MOSAIC GROUP HOME REMODELED

Support from the James R. Kuse Family Foundation recently allowed Youth Villages Oregon to remodel its Mosaic Group Home.

Lynne Saxton, executive director of Youth Villages Or-

egon and Margaret Carter, former state senator, received

New Freedom Awards at a dinner hosted by NAMI Oregon

recently. The award, which honors former Sen. Gordon

Smith and his wife, Sharon, is presented annually to rec-

ognize individuals for their leadership on mental health

issues. In accepting, Saxton said she shared the award

with the entire Youth Villages’ team and was honored

to receive it “especially as it represents the continued

leadership and commitment by Sens. Smith and Sharon to

advance mental health solutions.”

YOUTH VILLAGES OREGON’S 2014 RED KITE AWARD RECIPIENTS

OHSU PARTNERS WITH YOUTH VILLAGESA special collaboration be-

tween Oregon Health and Sci-

ences University and Youth

Villages Oregon began when

the state decided to close the

Oregon State Hospital’s child

and adolescent wings in 2005.

OHSU had been working

closely with State Hospital

to provide fellowships and

required field experience for

their psychiatrists-in-training.

Without the State Hospital’s

program, OHSU’s fellows

would have no way to com-

plete their training.

Luckily, OHSU had a trust-

ed clinical professor, Dr. John

‘Mike’ Deeney, who worked

with Youth Villages’ residen-

tial program.

Deeney was instrumental

in quickly establishing an all-

new OHSU fellows rotation.

Ten years later, Youth Villages

Oregon has had the privilege

of working with 29 OHSU fel-

lows.

“The partnership between

OHSU and Youth Villages has

many strengths and benefits

for both organizations,” Dee-

ney said. “For OHSU, Youth

Villages Oregon is able to

provide a rich and rewarding

experience for their fellows.

For Youth Villages Oregon,

the fellows provide vital

psychiatric services for the

children served.”

During their four months

in Youth Villages’ residential

program, the fellows work

with four to six children. This

window of time allows them

to follow the children they

serve through much of their

treatment.

While trained in a vast

array of treatment models

and philosophies in the near

decade of formal education

required to become a child

psychiatrist, fellows observe

as children progress through

highly specific treatment

models such as trauma-

focused cognitive behavioral

therapy and Collaborative

Problem Solving. Deeney

highlights this opportunity

to “follow a child,” as one of

the greatest strengths of the

fellows program.

Stacey Sibley of Lake Oswego has

joined Youth Villages Oregon as

coordinator of therapeutic pro-

grams.

Sibley is skilled in collaborative

problem solving and has a history of

working with children with special

needs. She most recently served as

director of special education for the Willamette Educa-

tional Service District in Salem.

She was founding principal of the Pioneer Special

School Program at Portland Public Schools.

Sibley holds a master’s degree in special education

from Nova Southeastern University and a bachelor’s

degree in special education from Wheelock College.

Rebuilding trust between a mother

and son doesn’t happen overnight. It’s

gradual, sometimes incremental. In

Adrian and Christi’s case, regaining

trust in each other was essential to

their success.

Adrian, 15, was placed in state

custody in 2010 because of his mother,

Christi’s neglect.

Christi, who’s in recovery, had strug-

gles with addiction. When custody

was restored, the two had a difficult

time. Therapy services for the family

weren’t working, and Adrian was clos-

ing off, refusing to communicate with

Christi. What little trust they had in

each other faded.

“We couldn’t talk to each other with-

out screaming,” Christi said. “Every-

thing related to Adrian and me was

just going backward.”

In the meantime, Adrian’s with-

drawal escalated, and he had thoughts

of harming himself. His ideations re-

sulted in an ongoing cycle of hospital-

ization, then residential treatment and

outpatient care. Nothing was working.

Following one severe incident, the hos-

pital referred Adrian to Youth Villages

Oregon’s Christie Campus. There, he

took a turn for the better.

He was discharged and placed back

home with his mother, where the

family began intensive in-home ser-

vices through Youth Villages’ Oregon

Intercept®. Lori Platt was their family

intervention specialist.

Lori met with the family at least

three days a week. She learned that

Adrian had trouble coming to terms

with his mother’s past behavior, and

Christi was at a loss for what to do

about her son’s actions. With Lori’s

help, Christi and Adrian began taking

small steps toward trusting each other.

They first accepted that each was do-

ing the best they could.

“I learned a lot from Lori,” Christi

said. “Before I took Adrian’s actions

personally. But it wasn’t about how I

parent, it’s about how Adrian feels.”

Conversely, Adrian began commu-

nicating more with his mother. They

both understood it was OK to disagree.

The two began using collaborative

problem solving as a means to work

together to address a problem or

question.

“They started with small things,”

Lori said. “Then they gradually worked

up to more difficult problems associ-

ated with their relationship.”

CPS allowed Christi and Adrian to

discuss previous barriers in a differ-

ent context. It restored their trust and

reestablished the roles for each that

had been muddied by their pasts.

“It wasn’t just about Adrian, it was

about us as a family,” Christi said. “We

were able to work through our issues

and Lori was there to support me and

to support Adrian.”

Adrian began doing simple things to

help out around the house. He began

participating in Youth Move, a local

peer support system. He continued

playing music, something he enjoys.

“He plays seven stringed instru-

ments, but guitar is his favorite,”

Christi said. “Now he channels his

energy in a positive way – he plays and

it makes things OK.”

Adrian discharged successfully in

July. The family continues to receive

therapy, but the home is significantly

different.

“Things are awesome,” Christi said.

“I can’t express the changes I’ve seen

in my child. I’m just really grateful for

what Oregon Intercept and Lori did

for us. She met us and talked to us

whenever and wherever we needed.”

ADRIAN, CHRISTI LEARN TO TRUST

EACH OTHER

Intercept in-home services focus on the family, rather than just the youth,

meeting with families at least three times weekly in their home

and remaining on-call around the clock. Youth

Villages family intervention specialists tailor services to meet each family’s needs,

sometimes collaborating with other providers, case workers and courts to formulate a collaborative

treatment plan. Our ongoing outcome evaluation studies have demonstrated that 90 percent of youth are successful up to two years after discharge from the

program.
