dear friends >
Dear Friends of St. Aemilian-Lakeside:
The year 2011 truly was a milestone year for us.
We grew and changed to meet the needs of our
community, and we are now fortunate enough to
touch the lives of about 2,000 people each day.
Our growth increased the scope and the quality
of our services to children and families. Many
individual achievements contributed to our overall
success, lighting the way for even more future
accomplishment. Many of these achievements were
made possible with your support, and we’d like to
share just a few highlights:
On March 30, we held a symposium, “Creating a
Trauma Informed Community,” which was attended
by 720 guests and showcased presentations on the
effects of trauma and trauma informed care by national
experts, Doctors Robert Anda and Bruce Perry.
Approximately 400 individuals have attended
our trauma informed care training programs, which
permits us to spread our knowledge of this critical
subject more widely throughout our community.
The Houston-based ChildTrauma Academy
certified 37 of our staff members with Phase One
Certification on the “neurosequential model of
therapeutics.” This innovative approach assesses a
child’s functioning and produces a brain map that
identifies the child’s strengths and deficiencies and
recommends interventions to create positive change.
The Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare was
revamped, and we now provide half of the foster
care services for Milwaukee County, and ongoing
case management, intensive in-home services and
adoption services.
We hired more than 70 new staff to meet the
increasing needs of our foster care, family preservation
and family interaction services.
We were re-accredited by the Council on
Accreditation (COA), an independent not-forprofit
international accreditor of communitybased
behavioral health care and human service
organizations. We have been accredited since 1987,
and we became one of a very few organizations
nationally and the first in Milwaukee to receive
accreditation for child welfare work through
ongoing case management and safety services.
Ann Leinfelder Grove, our vice president
for Strategy and Innovation, was appointed by
Gov. Scott Walker to serve for three years on
the Council on Mental Health, which advises
the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
She also was named to the Healthy Wisconsin
Leadership Institute, a continuing education and
training program supported by the University of
Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
and the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her work
focuses on the importance of creating a traumainformed
community and a much wider awareness
of this important issue.
We are proud of our success and grateful for your
interest and support. Please take satisfaction in each
of our accomplishments, as we consider each of
you to be part of our team. We look forward to the
coming year and our opportunity to work with you
to make a difference in our community.
Sincerely,
Teri Zywicki,
President and CEO

highlights >
> In May, children and young adults served by our
Residential Treatment, Family Preservation and
Independent Living Services programs showcased
performing and visual arts they created with
students from Homestead High School as part
of a cooperative project called Project 3mpower.
The project hopes to change the way the public
understands and responds to the needs of foster
youth. The name 3mpower comes from the goal of
empowering three populations: foster and non-foster
kids and the public.
> A very successful first-ever Reunification Day was
held at Milwaukee County Children’s Court on June 17,
honoring families who have regained custody of their
children. It was hosted by the Bureau of Milwaukee
Child Welfare, the Children’s Court judiciary, the
county District Attorney’s Office, as well as St.
Aemilian-Lakeside, Integrated Family Services and
Children’s Service Society of Wisconsin.
> The Family Services department was created as
an outgrowth and expansion of the trailblazing
work started by our Family Preservation team. The
department bolsters the work of Integrated Family
Services by providing clinical and supportive services
to families. The department now includes the
Family Preservation, Caregiver Support and Kinship
Stabilization, and Family Interaction programs, as
well as Clinical Services.
> In May, boys from Residential Treatment participated
in a culminating show put on by Express Yourself
Milwaukee that was supported in part by a grant from
the Wisconsin Arts Board, with funds from the State of
Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Pulse 2011 included at-risk youth from a number of area
organizations taking part in performances that included
giant puppets, dancing, singing, drumming and skits. As
an additional form of art therapy, residential boys created
three large murals to hang at Integrated Family Services
under the guidance of Albin Erhart, a professional artist
who is the adoptive father of a young man who was
served by St. Aemilian-Lakeside.
> Over the summer, the three residential units
engaged in a competition to see who could have
the most fun. Counselors were provided with a
list of 100 activities and digital cameras to record
outings, which were aimed at promoting cooperation
and relationships as well as giving the boys the
opportunity to experience new things.
> The Treatment Foster Care program that St. Aemilian-
Lakeside operates in Racine was reviewed by the Racine
County Human Services Department and received
the best score an agency has achieved on a site review.
The review looked at operational, fiscal and program
management, service/treatment documentation and
compliance with contracted outcomes. The final score was
99 out of 102 possible points, for a 97% overall.
> Linda Cole, program coordinator at Friendships
Unlimited and Spring City Corner Clubhouse, received
a Mental Health Professional of the Year Award from
the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Waukesha.
The award recognizes outstanding achievement serving
others whose lives have been touched by mental illness.
> Elizabeth (Betsy) Cocos, a Family Services therapist,
received a 2011 Community Partner of the Year award
from Mental Health America of Wisconsin. The award
recognized her “outstanding dedication, commitment
and service in the field of mental health.”
> Foster Care held a “Winter Wonderland” open house
in December to highlight services and recruit more
foster parents. About 65 people attended and the event
resulted in several foster parent applications.
> Sara Daniel, School Based Services coordinator,
co-authored the Department of Public Instruction
toolkit for Creating Trauma Sensitive Schools and
completed a web cast as a counterpart of this toolkit.
She also provided training on trauma sensitive schools
at numerous venues across the state.

Department of Children and Families, IFS achieved
several scores of 100%, including in the areas of
assessment and understanding of safety; resource
support for children, parents and substitute care givers,
and team functioning.
> All supervisory staff at Integrated Family Services
completed 40 hours of mediation training through the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The sessions were
aimed at helping staff better identify clients’ needs,
clarify concerns and help with conflict resolution.
> IFS restructured its leadership team to attract top
talent to meet current and future needs. The agency
also moved to a new location, at Summit Place in West
Allis, for increased efficiency, cost savings and better
integration of care.

CertifiCation gained in
neurosequential model of therapeutiCs
In 2011, St. Aemilian-Lakeside became certified in what is known as the
neurosequential model of therapeutics, or NMT. The creation of Dr. Bruce Perry,*
a world renowned expert in how trauma such as abuse and neglect affects the brain
and behavior, NMT is a biologically informed way to assess when trauma occurred
in a child’s development and create ways to mitigate its effects.
Assessment is critical, because the brain develops in stages, and knowing at what
point in a child’s life trauma or maltreatment occurred – even in utero – can help
determine what part of the brain was affected. Buffering factors, such as a caring
person in the child’s life, also are considered.
From this information, a brain map is created that details the child’s strengths
and weaknesses and suggests therapies that are individualized to the child’s needs.
The mapping aims to help children in their social, emotional, cognitive and
physical functioning.
Repetitive, rhythmic activities play a key role in soothing a brain that has
experienced trauma. Quality, nurturing relationships and ongoing educational and
enrichment activities also are critical to promoting healing.
A total of 37 clinicians at St. Aemilian-Lakeside participated in the certification
training and are actively employing NMT with the children in their care, with
many positive results.
*Dr. Bruce Perry, M.D., Ph.D., is the Senior Fellow of the ChildTrauma Academy, a
not-for-profit organization based in Houston (www.ChildTrauma.org) and an adjunct
professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern
University School of Medicine in Chicago. Over the last 30 years, Dr. Perry has been an
active teacher, clinician and researcher in children’s mental health and the neurosciences,
holding a variety of academic positions.

Big, lovaBle
dog helps Bring
Compassionate
healing to
trouBled Boys in
residential unit
8
Bentley, a 2-year-old
Bernese Mountain Dog,
yielded remarkable
results in his work with
emotionally disturbed
boys in our Residential
Treatment Program. With
compassionate canine
attention, Bentley helped
them open up and move
toward healing.
The animal-assisted therapy program
started last year with Bogey, a 9-yearold
golden retriever, working with boys
ages 7-11. Then Bentley completed
a multi-week session working with
children ages 11-14. His owner/handler,
Cheryl Pabich, is a volunteer with
Health Heelers, an animal-assisted
therapy program run by Laura Hey.
In an initial session, Laura shared
Bentley’s “resume” with the kids,
including his “scariest experience.”
The dog was born in Canada, so the
experience entailed: “Leaving mom,
dad, brothers and sisters, meeting new
step-parents and flying on a plane in a
small pet carrier. (I was only 7 weeks
old!) When I got to my new home, I
had three step-brothers that I needed
to meet and get along with. I needed to
respect that I came into their home.”
The boys, many of whom can relate to
being uprooted and having to adjust to
unfamiliar surroundings in a new home,
then took turns being invited into
Bentley’s “personal space” to share their
own scariest experience or memory.
“You could have heard a pin drop,”
therapist Kathleen Tompkins said. “The
boys were incredibly respectful and really
listened to each story.” Some of the stories
had never been shared before, “even after
months of work. … The boys seemed to
realize how important the sharing was.”
“He’s very sensitive,” Cheryl said. “He will
lick the boys’ heads and move to comfort
them when they tell their stories.”
Later, two of the boys talked about
being mean to another boy in the group
and said they wanted to tell him they
were sorry. Two other boys brought up
the Bentley experience in their familytherapy
sessions, Kathleen said, telling
their parents they don’t feel so alone or
like they were the only one after hearing
the other boys’ traumatic stories.
“It is just so safe to tell their families about
Bentley, show off his pictures, and talk
about him,” Kathleen said.
“I’m sold on this therapy dog.”
trauma informed Care turns
life around for suiCidal girl
Jenni is a 16-year-old whose
life for 10 years was a nightmare.
Her father got custody of her at age 4 and
abused her sexually until she was 14. He
would give her ultimatums: perform sexual
favors or not be allowed to do almost
anything she wanted.
When she disclosed the abuse, her father
was arrested and sentenced to 19 years in
prison. Jenni bounced among various family
members, but her past trauma took its toll.
She experienced four inpatient stays at
a psychiatric hospital, where a doctor
characterized her as the most suicidal child
he had ever met. She had horrible nightmares
and talked several times a day of doing
specific things such as stepping in front of a
semi to kill herself and end her pain.
Later she was placed in a residential
treatment facility. In June of 2010, Integrated
Family Services (IFS) got involved, and
through the introduction of trauma informed
care, Jenni’s life began to turn around.
Two assessments in the neurosequential
model of therapeutics (NMT) (see page
6) were done to determine when Jenni’s
trauma occurred, what it consisted of, and
what interventions were likely to help. It
was eye-opening, said Tracy Clark, Ongoing
Case Management supervisor at IFS.
The NMT assessments involved Jenni’s
maternal aunt, Susan, with whom she now
lives. Her biological mother and other
family members also were interviewed.
Other participants included her IFS
case manager, Kimberly Moran, and her
residential facility therapist.
Some first steps to address her trauma
included giving her a nightlight, controlling
smells that triggered fears, leaving her door
open at night, and adding a lock to allow
her to control who would enter.
“It was a big thing just figuring out how to
engage her,” Tracy said. “She had deeply
held memories of what her father made her
do, and she had no ability to self-regulate.”
Other interventions at the residential
facility included swinging, journaling,
playing the guitar, and Zumba.
“She’s a very sensitive girl, and she just
wants to be like a normal teenager,”
Kimberly said.
Her path to normalcy was enhanced by her
very supportive aunt, who Jenni went to
live with when she was released from the
residential facility, along with her aunt’s
significant other, Bob. They both have kids,
but they also took in Jenni’s half-brother,
creating a lively blended family.
Susan and Bob attended trainings in
trauma informed care, and “it gave us
some good insight,” Susan said.
The emphasis on patterned, rhythmic
movements and using music to soothe a
child “put a framework, a name to it, and it
helps with all of the kids,” Bob said. They
said the trainings gave them more patience
and a realization that Jenni’s acting out was
not something they provoked.
“We can look at what she’s been through
and know that’s obviously why she has
problems,” Bob said.
Susan and Bob are dedicated to helping
Jenni achieve the life they say she
deserves, and Jenni has made tremendous
progress. She is doing well in school. She
rides her bike to calm herself; she loves
sports and takes ballet classes. She dreams
of studying dance at the Juilliard School.
“We said we will just pull up in our RV and
see her!” Susan said. “She is now talking
about goals, and she has every opportunity
to do whatever she wants to do.”
“Trauma informed care absolutely has
made a huge impact on how comfortable
I feel and how I feel prepared to care for
her,” Bob said. “Trauma informed care
opens the door to understanding. It’s
nothing short of a miracle.”

young man
goes from
homelessness
to having
a real future
Wilton Johnson casually talks about living in a
drug house for two years while he was in high
school. He managed to graduate, but no one
knew about the lie he was living.
The worst part, he says, was having little to eat, basically living on
Raman noodles he could buy when his cousin, who owned the
place, gave him a couple dollars here and there.
But the experience, which followed being thrown out of his
house and six years in foster care, took its toll. A sister took him
in, but that didn’t work out either. Wil felt like she was treating
him as a son while she had one of her own to care for. He felt
like a burden and became seriously depressed.
Wil ended up in the county mental health complex and later in a
county run group home. While there, his mother visited him. “She
said, ‘You belong here,’ and she walked out and left,” Wil said. “It
was hard; I felt like something’s gotta’ happen with my life.”
After landing in a homeless shelter, a social worker referred
him to the Supportive Permanent Housing program at St.
Aemilian-Lakeside. Things finally began to happen.
Wil has been in the program for more than a year now. He lives
in a one-bedroom apartment, with furnishings and food supplied
by St. Aemilian-Lakeside. The agency has set him up with a
therapist, and he is visited weekly by a Supportive Permanent
Housing case manager.
He attends MATC full time and wants to become a teacher,
with an ultimate goal of becoming a dean, “when I’m about 60
years old!” he said with a laugh.
Wil laughs a lot now, thanks in large part to his case manager
and the life’s path he is being helped to follow. “She’s the
difference between being here and being homeless,” he said.
Staff in the program characterize Wil as a young man who is
very curious and engaged.
The Supportive Permanent Housing program serves nine formerly
homeless young adults 18-24 who, like Wil, have mental health
concerns on some level and need support to transition to adulthood
and become productive members of the community in which we
all live. The program is one of three St. Aemilian-Lakeside started
within the last four years that provide independent living services to
former foster youth.
“This is a population that really needs our help,” said Jane
Ottow, Independent Living Services supervisor. “Without it,
many end up on the streets, preyed upon, or ultimately in the
criminal justice system.”
There’s a lot of work that goes into keeping Wil and the other
young people in the program safe, happy and focused on their
future. For Wil, the best thing is not thinking too much about
his past.
“It’s too scary to think about what life would have been like
without St. Aemilian’s.”
When John acted up in school, they thought he
was being belligerent, a kid who hung around
with “bad influences” and who was on the verge
of becoming a gang member.
When he got angry, he’d cuss, break things, and become
verbally and physically abusive. He brought a fake gun to
school once and would menacingly wander the halls. He was
kicked out of school twice.
When Wraparound Milwaukee got involved, it was
determined that John really was hurt by the addiction and
mental health concerns his mother battled for years and was
scared to death he would end up being pulled away from her
again. He suffered from trauma as the result of his past and
had severe anger and anxiety.
With input from multiple players, John was able to
understand his feelings, straighten himself out, and the family
is making progress toward a productive future.
“A lot of kids with problems like his don’t have such success, or
do but end up coming back into the system,” said David Petro,
John’s Wraparound case manager. “He really turned it around.”
Wraparound is a managed care system that seeks to keep
children and families with mental health concerns together in
the home as much as possible. Children served are involved in
the juvenile justice or foster care system, and a court orders the
services. Care coordinators such as David do care planning that
includes the family’s vision of how they would like things to be,
barriers to achieving the vision, strategies needed for success
and measurable benchmarks. They bring together multiple
community resources to achieve the goals.
John had been the victim of neglect; his father was in jail
and his mother was unable to provide food for him. He was
removed from the home at age 10 and spent 14 months in
a foster home. After a month in residential treatment at St.
Aemilian-Lakeside, he was returned to his mother. But after
13 months, she relapsed into drugs and he was returned to
foster care. When Wraparound got involved, after about six
months John and his mother were reunited.
What was the secret to the success? With the help of a
family therapist, medication, anger management services, a
special education program and academic support at school,
and a really great mentor who got John into skateboarding
as a good physical activity and an alternative to getting into
trouble, the boy started opening up, David said.
“He started talking about how scared he was, how his anger
came from being afraid that his mother would relapse and
‘abandon’ him again. He really was upset with his mom for
not knowing what was happening.
“His mom got it together when she saw that, and then they
both stared doing a lot better.”
She went into drug and alcohol counseling, and mom and
son worked together on the issue of fear. His mother invited
John’s friends into their house and got to know and like them.
The family now includes a significant other for mom, with whom
she has a baby daughter who is much loved by the family. John

likes the man, who has a well-paying job
that provides for the family and offers a
critical element of family stability.
Because of the family’s success, they were
able to leave Wraparound. John is now
doing well at school and at home. “And he
is with his mom,” David said. “And that
gives him a positive outlook. It’s really
important to him.”
