<strong>The</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
2008<br />
Annual<br />
Report
83014_:Layout 1 11/20/08 2:00 PM Page 5<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Stephen F. Desloge<br />
We are proud to report on the performance <strong>of</strong> <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> for the fiscal<br />
year ended June 30, 2008. It was truly a year <strong>of</strong> incredible growth, transforming<br />
change and impressive synergy as all Clubhouse operations and services came<br />
together in our handsome new West End Place facility for the first time.<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> enjoyed success by almost any financial yardstick. Not only did<br />
we operate healthily in the black, we did so in spite <strong>of</strong> unanticipated expenses<br />
related to our move. We garnered more corporate support than we have ever<br />
previously enjoyed, both for our “Rebuilding Futures, Restoring Lives” Capital Campaign<br />
and in program grants and event sponsorship. And we established an endowment<br />
fund through the designation <strong>of</strong> proceeds from a benefactor’s generous bequest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Capital Campaign received a magnificent challenge from the Danforth Foundation that will match dollar<br />
for dollar all gifts or pledges received by December 31, 2008 up to a total <strong>of</strong> $500,000. This will enable us to<br />
reach our $3.7 million dollar goal on the anticipated schedule. We are pr<strong>of</strong>oundly grateful for this endorsement<br />
<strong>of</strong> our work.<br />
We had a much-enhanced public relations pr<strong>of</strong>ile this year, garnering substantial newspaper and TV coverage<br />
<strong>of</strong> our relocation and grand opening, our members and staff, our programs, and the Clubhouse Shop. Our<br />
“Dancing with the St. Louis Stars” special event was an instant success that brought us into contact with many<br />
new friends and promises to be a signature highlight <strong>of</strong> social seasons to come.<br />
Of real impact, more than a thousand non-member visitors came to tour the new clubhouse in the first 90<br />
days we were open. Many <strong>of</strong> those who were most knowledgeable about the mental health field told us they<br />
thought it set a new standard in facilities. Even better, our members love it! Our average daily attendance<br />
continued to grow throughout the year, with younger members finding it particularly appropriate to their needs.<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> became substantially more involved with mental health policy development in fiscal<br />
year 2008. We joined the Missouri Coalition <strong>of</strong> Community Mental Health <strong>Center</strong>s, and have been actively<br />
engaged in the Eastern Region Behavioral Health Initiative and the Missouri Transformation program <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Mental Health. We also partnered with the DMH in training other mental health agencies in<br />
Missouri on wellness programming, under grant support from the Missouri Foundation for Health.<br />
As one <strong>of</strong> the International <strong>Center</strong> for Clubhouse Development’s five designated U.S. training bases, we continued<br />
to teach Clubhouse standards and philosophy to colleagues from around the nation and around the world,<br />
including Australia, Canada and Korea. We were also visited by a large delegation <strong>of</strong> social service pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
from Russia. <strong>The</strong>se are significant exchanges for our members and staff.<br />
For all these achievements and distinctions, the real success <strong>of</strong> <strong>Independence</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> in this or any year is in transforming the lives <strong>of</strong> our members as they face<br />
the challenges presented by their mental illness. <strong>The</strong> challenge might be in finding a<br />
job or a wholesome, affordable place to live. It might be returning to school or<br />
managing a change <strong>of</strong> medications, or in overcoming the isolation and loneliness<br />
that attend mental illness. Whatever the need, <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> is there<br />
to meet it, and we can only do it because <strong>of</strong> the active concern and generous<br />
support <strong>of</strong> friends like you.<br />
We are deeply grateful for your investments in our members’ lives.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
J. Michael Keller Stephen F. Desloge<br />

What is<br />
<strong>Independence</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong><br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> is an innovative psychiatric<br />
rehabilitation program serving adults with persistent mental<br />
illnesses in the St. Louis community. <strong>Independence</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> was founded in 1981 by a group <strong>of</strong> parents and<br />
concerned friends <strong>of</strong> people with mental illnesses who<br />
wanted to create a place where their loved ones could<br />
go to find jobs, build friendships and find assistance with<br />
education and living on their own. <strong>Independence</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> practices the “clubhouse model” <strong>of</strong> psychiatric<br />
rehabilitation, which operates according to a philosophy<br />
containing four basic tenets:<br />
Everyone needs to feel connected to a community,<br />
thus the notion <strong>of</strong> membership is essential<br />
Everyone needs to know that s/he is expected<br />
someplace on a daily basis<br />
Everyone needs to feel needed; that one’s presence is<br />
important to others<br />
Everyone needs to believe that s/he is truly wanted<br />
People who come to the <strong>Center</strong> are members, not<br />
patients or clients.<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> consists <strong>of</strong> four programs: West<br />
End Place Clubhouse, Community Care, Residential and<br />
Midwest Psychiatry.<br />
FIRST<br />
group <strong>of</strong> colleagues to visit West End Place from another country<br />
Richard, Aleshia, and Morag from Stepping<br />
Stone Clubhouse in Coor Paroo, Queensland<br />
Australia visited <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> for<br />
three weeks to learn more about the<br />
Clubhouse model as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>Independence</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong>'s colleague training program. This was<br />
the first group <strong>of</strong> colleagues from another<br />
country to visit <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>'s new<br />
Clubhouse, West End Place. In addition to the<br />
group from Australia, West End Place hosted<br />
groups from Our House in San Antonio as<br />
well as three week training for clubhouses in<br />
Missouri, North Carolina, Michigan, Oklahoma,<br />
and Canada. Additionally, the Colleague Training<br />
Coordinator for West End Place and two members<br />
active in the program completed training for<br />
the International <strong>Center</strong> for Clubhouse<br />
Development (ICCD) faculty. Pictured with<br />
the three Australian colleagues are members<br />
and staff from <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
FIRST<br />
Gala Event<br />
In November 2008 <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> hosted<br />
its first and largest Gala Event, Dancing with<br />
the St. Louis Stars. Pictured is Debra Bass,<br />
Fashion Editor <strong>of</strong> the St. Louis Post Dispatch<br />
and her pr<strong>of</strong>essional dancer partner Alex<br />
Borodko who competed against 7 other couples<br />
and were crowned dance champions. <strong>The</strong> event<br />
was such a success on so many levels that<br />
the second event is scheduled for Feb. 21, 2009<br />
at the Four Seasons Hotel in St. Louis.

Individual<br />
Programs<br />
West End Place Clubhouse<br />
In 2007, <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> combined its two<br />
clubhouses into one new 50,000 square foot facility<br />
named West End Place, located at 4245 Forest Park<br />
Avenue in the Central West End neighborhood <strong>of</strong> St.<br />
Louis. Its contemporary design, increased space and<br />
infusion <strong>of</strong> the latest technologies <strong>of</strong>fers members<br />
more opportunities than ever before. Members and<br />
staff work together to keep the clubhouse running,<br />
including working in the kitchen, dining room and snack<br />
bar, the onsite resale shop, full service print center, the<br />
member deposit account banking area, a full service<br />
floral shop and the clubhouse’s video lab.<br />
In addition to working in the Clubhouse, members get<br />
connected to a variety <strong>of</strong> programs and services<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered through the clubhouse, including the following:<br />
Education<br />
This includes instruction, assistance in buying educational<br />
materials, help with financial aid and ordering transcripts,<br />
opportunities to serve as tutors, and assistance with<br />
college enrollment.<br />
Employment<br />
One <strong>of</strong> <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s core beliefs is that<br />
employment plays a central role in anyone’s life and<br />
helps form an adult’s sense <strong>of</strong> identity and self worth.<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> members build financial<br />
independence and connect to the community by going<br />
back to work. Adults with mental illnesses face enormous<br />
obstacles in finding and keeping jobs. Sporadic work<br />
histories due to hospitalization and illness as well as<br />
the stigma associated with living with a mental illness<br />
make it difficult to find and keep a job. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Center</strong> assists<br />
members in going back to work via our transitional<br />
and independent employment programs.<br />
Transitional Employment (TE):<br />
Transitional employment provides on-the-job training<br />
and support, to help members learn work skills and meet<br />
the employer's expectations. <strong>The</strong> positions are shortterm,<br />
and provide members with the experience and<br />
confidence to transition into independent employment.<br />
Independent Employment (IE):<br />
Unlike transitional employment, independent employment<br />
placements are competitive and permanent. Each<br />
placement meets the skills and experience on the<br />
individual member and it also provides a supportive<br />
environment and <strong>of</strong>fers fair wages that will not negatively<br />
affect his or her benefits. <strong>The</strong> intensity <strong>of</strong> supports is<br />
dependent upon the needs <strong>of</strong> the member.<br />
FIRST<br />
FIRST experience as a new member <strong>of</strong> the Clubhouse.<br />
Twenty-year-old Christina is working her very<br />
first job ever at the Bryan Cave Law Firm via<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> center's transitional employment<br />
program. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>'s<br />
strengths in 2008 was the increase in the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> newly diagnosed young adults (18-25)<br />
attending West End Place Clubhouse. In 2007,<br />
only 24 attended, in 2008 that more than<br />
doubled to 58. Mental illness typically first<br />
presents itself between the ages <strong>of</strong> 16 and 25.<br />
FIRST<br />
Dave moves from transitional employment to an I E position<br />
Dave Parker started working a transitional<br />
employment position in the housekeeping<br />
department at Washington University School<br />
<strong>of</strong> Medicine. He did such a great job that he<br />
was asked to move to an independent employment<br />
position. In 2008, many members just like<br />
Dave were able to work successfully with as<br />
high as 274 members working in either<br />
independent or transitional employment. 69% <strong>of</strong><br />
members who started a job this past year<br />
were able to work at least 90 days, a 10%<br />
increase over the previous year.

Individual<br />
Programs<br />
continued<br />
Wellness <strong>Center</strong><br />
People with mental illnesses are at greater risk for<br />
coronary artery disease and diabetes; therefore<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> created the first on-site wellness<br />
program specifically designed for people with mental<br />
illnesses. <strong>The</strong> wellness center provides health and fitness<br />
screenings, weight loss programs, nutrition education,<br />
smoking cessation classes, biking and walking clubs,<br />
weight training, fitness classes, and much more.<br />
Housing Supports<br />
Housing supports were conceived in response to the<br />
crucial need for decent and affordable housing for<br />
members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>. Housing supports<br />
include referrals to community apartments or<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> housing, and providing needed<br />
support to help members live independently in<br />
the community.<br />
Individual Support<br />
Individual support services provide one-on-one<br />
help to members who need the extra help to live in<br />
the community.<br />
Community Care<br />
Community Care is a Barnes-Jewish Hospital partial<br />
hospital program that is staffed by <strong>Independence</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> for on-going rehabilitation services. Community<br />
Care served a total <strong>of</strong> 80 participants in 2008.<br />
Community Care averaged 14 referrals per month - a<br />
slight increase over the previous year. 65% <strong>of</strong> people<br />
who attended Community Care graduated from the<br />
program, while 88% maintained a lesser level <strong>of</strong> care.<br />
FIRST<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wellness Program - Many Firsts!<br />
In 2008, 416 members attended the wellness<br />
program, a dramatic increase over the 322<br />
served last year. <strong>The</strong> wellness program enjoyed<br />
many firsts this year, including members and<br />
staff losing weight for the first time in years,<br />
members who quit smoking for the first time<br />
ever or for many years, and staff that presented<br />
at various conferences for the first time.<br />
FIRST<br />
First time employed independently<br />
Van Ingram is celebrating his FIRST independent<br />
employment (IE) position since 1989. In 2008<br />
165 IC members either maintained or started an<br />
IE, a 25% increase over last year. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />
41 starts in 2008, an increase from the previous<br />
year. Van enjoys his job as a custodian at<br />
Washington University School <strong>of</strong> Medicine. “I<br />
like that it’s 80 hours every 2 weeks and<br />
I have good benefits.”

Individual<br />
Programs<br />
continued<br />
Residential<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> believes that everyone has a<br />
right to live in a decent, safe and affordable home. Our<br />
housing program includes: four center-owned apartment<br />
buildings with HUD rental subsidies and private onebedroom<br />
efficiency apartments; assistance with locating<br />
apartments throughout the community via a network<br />
<strong>of</strong> landlords supportive <strong>of</strong> the needs <strong>of</strong> our members,<br />
help with general living skills and daily tasks such as<br />
grocery shopping and cleaning and regular apartment<br />
visits by <strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong> staff. Staff also assist<br />
members in managing doctor’s appointments and<br />
medications if needed. One <strong>of</strong> the residential program’s<br />
strengths is that it encourages residents to meet their<br />
personal goals towards independence. In 2008, 93%<br />
participated in a structured activity, 20% were able to<br />
work and 88% <strong>of</strong> residents were involved in wellness<br />
activities.<br />
Midwest Psychiatry<br />
Established in 1989, Midwest Psychiatry was created to<br />
meet the special needs <strong>of</strong> individuals with severe and<br />
persistent mental illnesses. <strong>The</strong> physicians and staff<br />
have made a commitment to provide the highest quality<br />
care using an integrated team approach. <strong>The</strong> clinical<br />
team consists <strong>of</strong> experienced board certified psychiatrists,<br />
nurse practitioners, and social workers. In 2008, 547<br />
people received psychiatric services through Midwest<br />
Psychiatry, up 8% from the previous year. A total <strong>of</strong><br />
81.6% <strong>of</strong> participants kept their appointments at<br />
Midwest Psychiatry. <strong>The</strong>re are many myths that still<br />
surround mental illness, including the misconception<br />
that mental illness is related to mental retardation.<br />
Mental illness is an illness <strong>of</strong> the brain, just like<br />
Leukemia is a biological disease <strong>of</strong> the blood.<br />
Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression are<br />
biological chemical diseases <strong>of</strong> the brain that can be<br />
treated with proper medication and psychiatric<br />
support. Between 70 and 90 percent <strong>of</strong> individuals<br />
with mental illnesses have significant reduction <strong>of</strong><br />
symptoms and improved quality <strong>of</strong> life with a combination<br />
<strong>of</strong> medication and psychosocial treatment.<br />
FIRST<br />
FIRST time living independently in many years!<br />
Justin Idleburg is living independently at<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s apartments in Maplewood<br />
for the first time in many years. Justin loves the<br />
freedom <strong>of</strong> living on his own, "Living on my own<br />
has helped me remain a responsible adult and it<br />
helps break the stigma that adults with mental<br />
illness can't live alone."<br />
FIRST<br />
FIRST partnership with Barnes and TALX<br />
<strong>Independence</strong> <strong>Center</strong>'s Employment Program<br />
couldn't thrive without the support <strong>of</strong> the 14<br />
different employers supplying 48 individual<br />
positions to our members so they can go back<br />
to work. This year we started new partnerships<br />
with TALX Corporation and Barnes - Jewish Hospital.<br />
Pictured is Dorothea Ellis who loves working<br />
