Annual Report

A Message From CEO Dr. Joseph T. Birli
Greetings, Bethany Friends.
Bethany Children’s Home
Another year is completed and in the books, adding to the previous 157 years of providing care, safety,
love and healing to children and youth. Though we have endured difficult times through the decades that
included devastating building fires, the financial depression and lack of funding, staff shortages and health
crisis pandemics, we continue to persevere and be relevant to the needs of services for today’s youth.
Resiliency is the only description I can offer that best describes Bethany youth, and ultimately, Bethany
Team Members. Though we have operated with staff shortages through the decades, never have we been
so challenged as during the COVID pandemic. Dedicated Team Members continue to show up every day
to care for children who have been subject to the unfortunate life circumstances of their caregivers.
Though we have had to lower the number of youth in daily service due to the workforce challenges that COVID has presented,
we have not compromised on the quality of care and Team Members are committed more than ever to the healing journey of
Bethany youth. We have been privileged to observe progress in the youths’ education as some continue toward higher education,
some to the workforce and some to vocational training programs. This alone is an achievement during COVID days. We are proud
of the youth who continue to work through their personal challenges despite the difficulty of COVID burdens and fatigue.
The same holds true for Bethany as an organization. This year has seen some great programmatic and financial strides toward
sustainability for the future of Bethany Children’s Home programming and services.
Since my arrival to Bethany, we have been working with counties we contract with to commit to increasing the daily fiscal rates
of care for the children we serve. For a frame of reference, we have not seen rate increases for more than 6 years from the county
contracts. I am pleased to share we have seen more than an average of a 48% rate increase across most of the county contracts,
with the highest increase in the 94% range.
Another objective this year was to become more fiscally stable and I believe one way to do that is to eliminate debt. It is a pleasure
to share that we were able to accomplish this for the first time in the history of Bethany Children’s Home by paying off the final
debt of approximately $1.4 million. It was only through strategically coordinating funds management and allocations that we
accomplished this momentous task. Finally, I am proud to share that the most recent financial audit showed that the usage of
funds from those county contracts and fundraising donations determined approximately 90% of all Bethany funds, are utilized
toward programming expenses, with about 10% toward operations.
Along with individual, family, and group therapies, we have introduced equine and pet therapy while implementing art, music,
and educational recreational instruction with the intention that all provide a healing component for the youth. Recently, we have
been in discussions to introduce expressive arts including movement programs such as dance, acting and drama groups. Though
it was a challenging year, it has been rewarding to be affiliated with the term “Resilience” and live it in a time full of unknown
challenges.
Thank you for your interest and commitment to Bethany Children’s Home. Here’s to another year of Resiliency.

The team at Bethany Children’s Home provides a
supportive environment to promote growth and
healing. Bethany takes a unique approach to healing.
As we realize all youth do not respond to one specific
therapeutic process, we offer a variety of services to
build resiliency and guide our youth toward a safe and
healthy future.
Youth in our care are offered many opportunities to
address physical, social, cognitive, and psychological
health and safety.
Youth in Bethany’s Short-Term program reside in
several cottages on campus. The Short-Term program
is a 90-day program designed to promote healthy
family relationships and reunification. The Residential
Treatment program offers support and services to
youth to obtain life skills to move to a less structured
setting. Bethany’s Independent Living is geared toward
youth ages 16-20 who have demonstrated satisfactory
educational progress (or may be working on their GED
or college/higher education program) and have shown
the ability to live more independently.
For Bethany youth who are between 18 and 21 years
of age, we offer Supervised Independent Living and
Transitional Living Programs. Our Transitional Living
Program is located on Bethany’s main campus and
youth have access to team member supports on a
regular basis.
Youth Services at Bethany
Bethany offers the following services:
• Case Management Services
• Spiritual Services
• Therapeutic Services (Counseling and Psychiatry)
• Educational Supports
• Art, recreation and music programming with
dedicated, experienced team members
To learn more about our services, please visit our
website at bethanyhome.org/services.
Bethany’s Unique Programs
Bethany Children’s Home offers several programs to fit the needs of our youth in care.
In our Supervised Independent Living Program, youth
can reside in apartments on or off campus while still
receiving support.
Additionally, Bethany’s Supervised Independent Living
program has partnered with Alvernia University and
now offers a suite in College Towne. Youth in this
program must be employed or enrolled full time in
school. This program prepares our youth for living
independently in the community.
Bethany also provides a 24-hour Emergency Shelter
for youth who are in immediate need of a stable
environment while a more permanent plan for their
care is developed. The shelter program is designed to
be a temporary measure of up to 30 days.
To learn more about our services, please visit our
website at bethanyhome.org/services.
Bethany Springs, LLC
In 2012, Bethany Home formed Bethany Springs, LLC.
Bethany Springs is a for-profit entity of Bethany Home.
Bethany Springs sells fresh spring water from Bethany’s
mountain property to DS Waters. The revenue generated from
sales helps support Bethany’s therapeutic services.
On a daily basis, an average of 12 tankers holding 8,000
gallons of water visit Bethany Springs. Our well currently is
pumping 40 gallons per minute of fresh spring water. It takes
20 minutes to fill a tanker truck.

We are thankful to all of the volunteers and community supporters who help to provide a
brighter future to our kids. We could not continue without your generous support of time,
talent and generous giving. Our Board of Directors, team and especially our youth want to
say THANK YOU. Our success is because of YOU!
About the Cover
This beautiful painting was created by a Bethany youth in our
art studio.
Through our educational programming department, we are
able to offer youth the opportunity to create paintings, pottery
and other art projects.
How can anyone truly celebrate the dedication
and service of another human being? So often,
expressing words of appreciation just never
seems to be enough or adequate to the level of
commitment and investment a person gives to
their passions and generosity.
The Campbell family is of
such that words never can do
justice to the legacy they leave
for Bethany Children’s Home.
Mr. Benson Campbell is one
such man who has served
Bethany Children’s Home in
various capacities through the
years.
The Campbell Legacy
Mr. Benson Campbell
He involved his entire family, actually, I believe it
was first his exceptional wife, Diane who brought
to light his passion for Bethany. I rarely recall a
time with Ben that he didn’t elevate and speak
affirming words of his wife and give her credit
for the man he was and the passions to which he
dedicated his time.
Diane served on the Board of Directors for 10
years and later served on the Ladies Committee,
making significant contributions to the children.
Ben left his mark on the Board of Directors,
particularly with his final position as Chair of the
Board.
Ben served as a member of the Board for more
than 15 years and regularly expressed his desire
and passion for the children who graced Bethany
grounds.
It was an honor to see Ben in his element as a
businessman, but more so as a man of compassion
for the unfortunate wounds the children had
endured.
He simply wanted to ease their pain and be sure
Bethany was offering a safe place where children
would experience kindness, care, and healing.
The Campbell Legacy will truly live on through
future decades as Ben and Diane set a standard
of generosity, dedication and commitment that is
everlasting and deserves to be celebrated for future
generations.
Though it is with sadness that we lost Ben
this year, the legacy of his memory and service
to Bethany is forever captured throughout the
campus.
We honor the legacy of the Campbells as they
continue to make an impact in the lives of children
and youth through supporting educational
programming opportunities in music, art, dance,
drama, and other educational opportunities for
Bethany youth. These are all areas where Diane
says Ben would approve such support, especially
music, as this was a strong passion and joy for
him.
So, from all of us who had the privilege to know
Mr. Benson Campbell and serve with him, we
thank you and celebrate the Campbell Legacy
contribution to Bethany Children’s Home.
