“Let <strong>us</strong> take care <strong>of</strong> the children, for they have a long way to go.<br />

Let <strong>us</strong> take care <strong>of</strong> the elders, for they have come a long way.<br />

Let <strong>us</strong> take care <strong>of</strong> those <strong>in</strong> between, for they are do<strong>in</strong>g the work.”<br />

This prayer underscores our very mission - provid<strong>in</strong>g<br />

programs and services for people <strong>of</strong> all ages and<br />

stages <strong>of</strong> life, liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the communities we serve.<br />

The challenges many people and families face today<br />

mirror the challenges many not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it social<br />

service agencies, like ours, also face. We both need<br />

to rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>tact and economically<br />

stable, s<strong>us</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> important <strong>in</strong>terpersonal<br />

relationships and enjoy small successes<br />

along the way.<br />

The theme <strong>of</strong> our report is “Do<br />

you believe <strong>in</strong> me?” Our work with<br />

children, adolescents, adults and<br />

families foc<strong>us</strong>es on meet<strong>in</strong>g the needs<br />

<strong>of</strong> those fac<strong>in</strong>g challenges like grow<strong>in</strong>g<br />

up <strong>in</strong> poverty, f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g and reta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

employment, traumatic experiences from ab<strong>us</strong>e and/or neglect,<br />

liv<strong>in</strong>g with family violence, and struggl<strong>in</strong>g with behavioral/mental<br />

health issues. We are proud <strong>of</strong> the many program outcomes you<br />

will read about <strong>in</strong> this report.<br />

Tony and I extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to our talented and<br />

dedicated staff, board <strong>of</strong> directors, volunteers, and community<br />

partners who, believ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> our mission, worked hard to<br />

strengthen the lives <strong>of</strong> those who came through our doors for<br />

help. We are grateful for your support and look forward to a<br />

strong and cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g partnership.<br />

“We are determ<strong>in</strong>ed to meet the grow<strong>in</strong>g<br />

needs <strong>of</strong> the communities we serve.”


Do you believe <strong>in</strong> me?<br />

At <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Waterbury</strong>, we believe <strong>in</strong><br />

children. They have great potential, but we know many<br />

are at risk. Our high-quality programs address the needs<br />

<strong>of</strong> children who have experienced ab<strong>us</strong>e and/or neglect,<br />

their biological parents and their foster or adoptive<br />

parents, as well.<br />

Chapman Ho<strong>us</strong>e<br />

Chapman Ho<strong>us</strong>e, our Safe Home, which can serve eight<br />

children at one time, served 27 children last year who<br />

stayed an average <strong>of</strong> 104 days each. The children, ages<br />

three to 12, had been removed from their homes by the<br />

Connecticut Department <strong>of</strong> Children and Families<br />

beca<strong>us</strong>e <strong>of</strong> ab<strong>us</strong>e and/or neglect.<br />

85% <strong>of</strong> children served <strong>in</strong><br />

all our programs have<br />

experienced family violence.<br />

Our childcare pr<strong>of</strong>essionals do their best to make<br />

Chapman Ho<strong>us</strong>e a real home for the children. They<br />

are <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> every aspect <strong>of</strong> the children’s lives.<br />

Additional services are provided as needed by social<br />

workers, child psychiatrists and nurses. While they<br />

are with <strong>us</strong> at Chapman Ho<strong>us</strong>e every child receives<br />

a full medical, dental, and psychosocial evaluation<br />

so that an <strong>in</strong>dividualized plan for the child can be<br />

created so the child can move <strong>in</strong>to a lov<strong>in</strong>g home.<br />

Motheread/Fatheread<br />

Motheread/Fatheread is an award-w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>of</strong> literacy skills with child development and<br />

family empowerment by foc<strong>us</strong><strong>in</strong>g on parents<br />

as the primary teachers <strong>of</strong> young children.<br />

This year 12 adults and more than 25 children<br />

participated <strong>in</strong> the program.<br />
