Devoted to the Strength of Family

Letter from the CEO
New Mission and Vision
Donna Hedges said, “Having a place to go – is a family. Having someone to love
– is a family. Having both - is a blessing.” These inspirational words describe
the driving force behind the development of TFI Family Services, Inc.’s (TFI)
new mission statement: “Devoted to the Strength of Family,” and new vision
statement: “To be Nationally Recognized for Excellence in Service, Education
and Advocacy to Strengthen Families.”
Our commitment to being “Devoted to the Strength of Family” conveys what we
do every day in a powerful and stimulating manner. We strive to tap into families’
individual and unique strengths to empower them to overcome the daily living
struggles they often encounter. In our day-to-day process of employing best
practices to promote healthy families, we encourage them to move from basic
survival abilities to acquire parenting, partnering and communication skills. Our
vision, “To be Nationally Recognized for Excellence in Service, Education
and Advocacy to Strengthen Families,” pushes us to continually explore, develop
and implement evidence-based programs we can use to strengthen families.
Within each of these calendar pages, you will have the opportunity to read how
TFI’s mission guides our work with family and children. We would also like to take
this opportunity to share our accomplishments from the past year.
Our accomplishments
We became a licensed Child Placing Agency in Nebraska and opened a service
office in the city of Kearney, NE, to provide programs in central and western
Nebraska. We opened our second Visitation and Exchange Center (VEC) in
Wichita, KS, to complement our VEC in Lawrence, KS. These centers provide
a neutral site for visitation and exchange between parents and supervised visits
when ordered by the court. Combined, these centers provided 1,017 supervised
visits and 789 monitored exchanges to 285 children and 145 families. Our
behavioral health programs served 137 youth and families. TFI’s participation in
the Kansas Intensive Permanency Project provided behavioral health services
to 55 families and youth. TFI served 4,693 Kansas children in out of home
placement through our two 45 county reintegration/adoption and foster care
contracts. The Northeast Kansas contract region worked with 2,769 children
and their families. In Southeast Kansas and the South Central contract region,
TFI served 1,924 children and their families. We provided foster homes to 520
children referred to us by other child welfare organizations. TFI collaborated with

the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ 17 month funding initiative,
Partnership for Education Kids in Care (KPEKC). The primary partners in KPEKC
include the University of Kansas Institute for Educational Research and Public
Services, School of Social Welfare, the Kansas Department for Children and
Families and the Kansas Department of Education. The purpose of this initiative
is to build a sustainable child welfare education collaboration system with the
goal to increase education stability for youth in foster care, ages 10 -17.
Future Plans
What is in store for TFI’s future? We will begin a cutting-edge pilot project called
Extreme Recruitment (ER) to aid in finding permanent families and lifelong
resources for children who have been in foster care for 3 or more years and have
no identified forever family. In June 2011, TFI cared for 154 youth who had both
parental rights terminated and had no identified resource for adoption. The Foster
& Adoption Coalition in St. Louis, MO, developed Extreme Recruitment to find an
adoptive home for children in a fraction of the time it would normally take (12-
20 weeks vs. 12-24 months). We will soon begin another pilot project, Healthy
Marriages, in collaboration with Catholic Charities of Wichita. TFI personnel
have been trained on the Marriage for Keeps model. With Healthy Marriages,
we will provide free relationship education workshops and services to individuals,
couples and families.

Innovative Child Welfare Technology
TFI Family Services, Inc.’s vision is “To Be Nationally Recognized for Excellence in Service, Education and Advocacy to
Strengthen Families.” With this vision in mind, TFI created a tool that determines the best possible placements for the
Kansas children in our care. TFI’s Every Child a Priority (ECAP) is a web-based child placement matching database that
assists child welfare staff in finding the best possible family match for a child who is in need of a foster home placement.
Gathered data can quickly illustrate through a color coding system if there is a match between the foster parent’s capability
and the child’s need. A steadfast placement with a foster family can positively affect a child’s safety, permanency and
well-being. The University of Kansas School of Social Welfare is partnering with TFI to conduct research and validate the
ECAP system. Results show this technology is consistently accurate.

Skills for Life
Substance abuse has devastating effects on families, including unemployment, unsafe living conditions and imprisonment.
As a result of this crippling affliction, children can lose their homes and their families through no fault of their own. TFI
Family Services, Inc. provides the Strengthening Families Program, a research-based parenting program specifically
designed to assist parents who have alcohol or drug addictions. This 14-week program teaches parent and children life
skills. The program’s main objective is to prevent family separation or to reunite families with children in out of home
placement, thus strengthening the family unit. TFI served 116 parents and 134 children in fiscal year 2012, helping to
prevent children from entering out of home placement.

Strengthening Families in Real Time
Out of the ashes of destruction and tragedy, human spirit and kindness often shine their brightest. Such is the case with
one Kansas family and the TFI Family Services, Inc. employees who rallied together to support them in their time of need.
The Fuentes* family was back together as a strong unit at the end of June, only 6 months after their children were initially
placed in out of home care. Less than 1 month after this family reunited, they lost their home in a fire. The team of TFI
employees who worked with this family and their children took action after hearing about the family’s loss. Staff quickly
went to meet the family to help them secure a new rental home and complete paperwork to access community resources.
While TFI employees helped meet the family’s basic needs, the TFI team’s supervisor quickly started securing donations
of toys, clothing, food, formula, and furniture from TFI staff in Topeka and Atchison, thus ensuring the strength of the
Fuentes family. *Names have been changed to protect privacy.

The Importance of Fatherhood
TFI Family Services, Inc. hosted its second Fatherhood Symposium at the
Topeka Capitol Plaza Hotel in Spring 2012. Child welfare professionals,
judges and foster parents from across Kansas participated in a day
geared to the importance of fatherhood in the lives of children. “On
average, children in foster care return home sooner when they have a
relationship with their fathers,” said Michael Patrick, TFI’s CEO. “We
believe our commitment to involving fathers in their children’s lives is
one of the factors that has contributed to fulfilling our mission, ‘Devoted
to the Strength of Family.’” The day included workshops, speakers and
segments of personal testimony and individual growth experiences from
both former foster care children and fathers whose children have entered
the child welfare system.

All Children Deserve a Chance
TFI Family Services, Inc. was given the special honor of naming a male penguin in the Topeka Zoo’s temporary Polar
Plunge Exhibit on May 16, 2012. TFI chose the name Chance because all children deserve the chance to have a
safe and whole family. “This name represents the hope of a chance for our children to have that normal childhood,”
said Peggy Martin, CEO, Kansas Family and Children, Inc. The exhibit opened May 10, 2012, and featured six penguins
that lived in a replica of their South African beach habitat. The exhibit was on loan from the Henry Doorly Zoo in
Omaha, NE, through the end of September 2012.

Think Tanks for Child Welfare
The Kansas Permanency Roundtables (PRT) engaged leading child welfare professionals in a brainstorming session
about possible permanency strategies for youth in foster care. TFI Family Services’ Chief Operations Officer Shirley
Dwyer was part of the PRT design team comprised of leadership from the Kansas Department for Children and Families
(DCF), private child welfare contractors, judiciary, academia, mental health, developmental disabilities and national
partner Casey Family Programs. At the PRT, participants discussed what DCF deemed the “toughest” cases – youth
entering foster care at age 13, older youth who desire adoption but have no identified resource and youth whose parental
rights have been terminated. The Roundtables sought not to find quick solutions, but rather to stimulate thinking and
discussion, with state policy, adoption and mental health experts present to address barriers together.

Make a Difference in the Life of a Child
Today, you can change a life by becoming a foster parent for a child who needs you! Between July 1, 2011, and June
30, 2012, an average of 688 TFI Sponsored Resource Foster Families throughout Kansas have opened their hearts and
homes to 5,213 brothers and sisters of all ages, sizes, races, religions and special medical and educational needs. “We
love being foster parents because it gives us a feeling that we are making a difference,” one foster parent said. “To know
that we have touched a life of a child and their parents makes us a better family.” To learn more about becoming a foster
parent, visit www.tfifamilyservices.org or call TFI at 800-279-9914.

Foster Families Refill and Rejuvenate
More than 175 families and 325 children (natural, adopted and foster) attended TFI’s “Refill Your Cup” Foster Family
Retreats held at the Double Tree in Overland Park and at the Marriott in Wichita. The retreats provided vital lifestyle tips
to help our foster families achieve inner emotional balance and sanity while balancing their blended family demands.
Families learned about “Living Gracefully: Uncovering Your Spark” and “Preserving Your Relationship While Doing
Foster Care.” The annual retreat provided structured educational opportunities as well as an opportunity for families to
informally network with one another and share day-to-day parenting experiences. CEO Michael Patrick attended both
sessions to assure our families that they are very much appreciated and needed not only by TFI, but most importantly
by children throughout the state of Kansas.

Stengthening Families in Crisis
There are times in life when crisis occurs and families may need assistance caring for their children at home. TFI Family
Services, Inc. believes that whenever possible, parents are the best resources to raise healthy, productive children,
and they sometimes need support in order to do so. FamilyBase is a program that helps families identify community
resources that can provide both hard goods such as food and transportation and soft goods such as counseling and
education. TFI will coordinate with the Kansas Department for Children and Families, Law Enforcement and Juvenile
Intake and Assessment Centers to ensure children are protected and safe during times of family crisis. This short-term
program aims to strengthen the family unit and resolve crises while avoiding out of home placement for children. TFI
served 88 families through this program in Fiscal Year 2012.

Engaging with community organizations is one way that TFI Family Services, Inc. achieves its mission to being “Devoted

organizations throughout Kansas in a given year. Recently TFI partnered with Project Belong, a Christian ministry in
Stafford, KS, that works in partnership with the Church, families and the community to recruit, train and support foster and
adoptive families. This working relationship helps fulfill the certification requirements for prospective foster and adoptive
families through Project Belong’s training program. TFI also engaged with Faithbuilders in the Wichita area about the
service options they provide and how those fit with TFI services. Faithbuilders has provided respite care for TFI aftercare
cases and placed children into Faithbuilders homes after out of home referral.

Special Events
Our two special events provide funds to purchase “extras” for children to
experience some of the activities and hard goods many people take for
granted in their everyday lives. Our Annual Tee Off Fore Children Charity
Golf Tournament celebrated its 16th year in Pittsburg, KS in 2011. Despite
a rainout on its original date, the following weekend in September still
brought in 120 golfers to Crestwood Country Club, raising $29,570 for
Kansas children. Our devoted supporter and tournament sponsor WATCO
Companies, LLC made a 50% increase in their sponsorship to $15,000.
To kick off the winter holiday season, our 21st Annual Holiday Benefit
Auction in Emporia, KS, lived up to its Polar Express theme, “Believe,” and
raised more than $14,000. Recognized at the auction was TFI’s Friend
Award recipient Larry Lyons and TFI’s Corporate Friend Award recipient
KVOE Radio. The honorary co-chairs of the auction were the Leek Family,
in memory of TFI Corporate Secretary and Assistant to the CEO, Martha
Leek. Thomas Transfer and Storage was our event sponsor. We are deeply
humbled by all the generous sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters
who came together to make these two events a success!
You can Make a Difference
When you contribute to TFI Family Services, Inc., you are making a
difference in the life of a child. Funds raised help children participate in
school activities and sports, purchase extra clothing, take driver’s education
class or go to summer camp.
Other donations may go towards educational scholarships, independent
living programs, parent training programs for foster families, respite care or
ongoing upgrades to our information management systems.
Partner with us to make a positive impact in the life of a child by making a
financial contribution to TFI today. Go to our website at www.tfifamilyservices.
