ANNUAL REPORT<br />
<strong>Growing</strong><br />
to meet the<br />
community’s needs
MISSION<br />
The <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Guidance</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Connecticut</strong> is a<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionally-staffed outpatient mental health center for children<br />
and adolescents who experience psychological, behavioral,<br />
developmental, social or family problems.We are dedicated to<br />
reducing emotional suffering and dysfunctional behavior and<br />
to helping each individual achieve optimal potential.<br />
PHILOSOPHY<br />
Our services are guided by a philosophy that emphasizes<br />
understanding the unique qualities and experience <strong>of</strong> each child<br />
as influenced by the complex interaction <strong>of</strong> personality, emotional<br />
and cognitive development, family situation, and social environment.<br />
We view psychotherapy with children as a dynamic, interactive<br />
assessment and treatment process that examines problems while<br />
building on strengths, and believe our intervention is most effective<br />
when parenting figures are actively involved.<br />
We are committed to making our services accessible to all children<br />
and families in the community who can safely and productively<br />
participate in outpatient mental health treatment, while <strong>of</strong>fering<br />
referral and advocacy for those who may require a more restrictive<br />
and structured environment.
MESSAGE FROM THE<br />
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />
AND THE PRESIDENT<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
In response to the increasing number <strong>of</strong> children requiring pr<strong>of</strong>essional mental health services and an<br />
intensification in the severity <strong>of</strong> their problems, our Board and staff created a strategic plan that has<br />
fostered growth to better meet these emerging community needs. Over the years, our efforts have had three<br />
major areas <strong>of</strong> focus:<br />
• Access: Increase the number <strong>of</strong> children served<br />
AND shorten the time families with non-emergency<br />
problems must wait before they can begin treatment<br />
by expanding staff and facilities<br />
• High Risk Kids: Avoid life-threatening and<br />
irreversible consequences <strong>of</strong> self harming and<br />
violent behavior by developing intensive specialized<br />
services for youngsters with severe problems<br />
and families with complex needs.<br />
• Prevention: Reduce the number <strong>of</strong> youngsters who<br />
will develop serious problems by initiating prevention<br />
and early intervention strategies in collaboration<br />
with parents and other community agencies.<br />
At the <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Guidance</strong> <strong>Center</strong> (CGC) our Strategic Plan<br />
has guided our growth and we have made significant<br />
progress in each <strong>of</strong> the above areas.At the same time we<br />
have maintained the awareness and flexibility needed to<br />
respond to new challenges facing children and families,<br />
and have strived to implement the most effective and<br />
innovative treatment approaches in our field.<br />
Some highlights <strong>of</strong> capacity-building this year include:<br />
• Anger Management Classes: With an awareness <strong>of</strong><br />
escalating numbers <strong>of</strong> kids and teens with violent and<br />
aggressive behavior, we brought anger management<br />
classes to Stamford Academy, providing youngsters<br />
with specific skills to better handle conflict and reduce<br />
verbal and physical aggression.<br />
• New Group Therapy Program: To help groups <strong>of</strong><br />
children work together to overcome similar problems,<br />
we have conducted theme-oriented groups for youngsters<br />
with particular needs. For example, a social skills<br />
group helped pre-adolescent boys address social<br />
anxiety and isolation, enhancing their ability to make<br />
and keep friends; a group for depressed teenage girls<br />
helped them address poor self-image and lack <strong>of</strong><br />
confidence, enabling them to develop interests and<br />
participate in activities where they experience<br />
satisfaction and achieve success.<br />
• Darien Facility: To better serve families in Darien,<br />
we moved to a larger, handicap-accessible facility<br />
with room to accommodate group therapy, host<br />
large meetings, and <strong>of</strong>fer community education and<br />
prevention programs.<br />
• In-Home Therapy Program: To enhance services<br />
for high risk adolescents, we increased the capacity <strong>of</strong><br />
the In-Home Therapy program by 50%, providing<br />
intensive services for adolescents and families to reduce<br />
delinquent and dangerous behaviors and avoid placement<br />
in residential or juvenile correction facilities.<br />
• “Get Psyched!” To raise awareness about our<br />
services, deliver community education programs led by<br />
CGC pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and increase financial support for<br />
programs, a new volunteer initiative was developed in<br />
Greenwich under the leadership <strong>of</strong> CGC Board<br />
member Debby Jones Lash and community volunteer,<br />
Laurel Forst. A highlight <strong>of</strong> this year’s activities was a<br />
workshop attended by over 50 middle school aged<br />
girls and moms that encouraged open dialogue at this<br />
crucial stage <strong>of</strong> adolescent development. Based on the<br />
success <strong>of</strong> this Greenwich volunteer group, we plan to<br />
engage volunteers in Stamford, Darien and New<br />
Canaan to customize a “Get Psyched!” group for<br />
each community.<br />
• www.childguidancect.org: To keep the community<br />
informed about CGC services, activities, staff, and<br />
job opportunities we redesigned our website. Future<br />
planned expansions <strong>of</strong> the website include educational<br />
materials about child development, parenting and<br />
mental health issues, enabling our website to become<br />
an important community resource for teens, parents,<br />
referral sources, mental health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and<br />
donors.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>ten say that “growing up isn’t easy for kids or<br />
their parents.” <strong>Growing</strong> to meet the community’s needs<br />
also has its challenges for a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it agency, but with<br />
the support <strong>of</strong> our friends we have been able to make<br />
great strides. Look for some exciting news in the<br />
coming year about our plans and progress towards a<br />
major expansion to better meet the mental health<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> children and families.<br />
We deeply appreciate your continuing support.<br />
