our mission
From addressing the needs of homeless children via our
Shelter Outreach Services Program, to our Intensive
Outpatient Programs, Beacon is relentless in assuring
fulfillment of its mission: Empowering children and families
by helping them find their way to a better future by
providing accredited educational, mental health,
and social services.
Kendra and Arshoun (Photo/Cover Photo)
Kendra had three primary goals upon entering the FACT program:
find a home, find a job, and go to school. Prior to joining the FACT
program, Kendra was defiant, depressed, and on the verge of
homelessness. Due to her determination and strong will, Kendra
and her four-year-old son Arshoun are defeating the odds. With
continued counseling, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and the
various resources provided while in the program, Kendra prevailed in
meeting her goals. She and Arshoun have their own apartment,
she is gainfully employed with a reputable landscape company, and
she has taken the appropriate steps for enrolling in culinary school.

“Beacon saved my life. The staff does not give up on you. They
listen and do what they can to help. I would probably be in a
shelter or not alive without the FACT program,” Kendra admits.
about FaCt — Family Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is a collaborative project between beacon therapeutic (lead organization),
Heartland alliance, Inner Voice, and Voices for Illinois Children. Its focus is to mitigate the impact of homelessness on child development by
improving the housing, health and well being of homeless and at-risk young mothers and children. The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is funding the
project through Strengthening At Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children Initiative of the National Center on Family Homelessness, with local
support from the McCormick Foundation, Polk Bros. Foundation, Prince Charitable Foundation, and the Chicago Department of Family Support Services.
FACT is part of a national evaluation coordinated by the National Center on Family Homelessness. It is implemented in conjunction with the project’s
local research partners at University of Illinois at Chicago and is based on the evidenced based practice model of ACT with modifications for families.

Dear Friends of Beacon,
Never be ashamed of where you come from, it is where you are going that counts. Be proud of who you are, your roots and know you
are the author and illustrator of your own destiny. One of our teachers reiterated this to a group of students not so long ago, and the
words have been in my mind ever since. While past events and decisions, good or not so good, certainly shape who we are today,
the future belongs to everyone who believes in the value of their dreams and goals. Beacon Therapeutic has been catering to at-risk
children and families for more than 42 years. Children and families who are homeless, who are traumatized, who have the desire to
excel educationally, yet have had limited options. With the guidance and direction of our professional staff, they are changing their
lives and creating their futures.
Research indicates that every year 600,000 families with 1.35 million children experience homelessness in the United States,
making up about 50 percent of the homeless population throughout the course of a year. At least 68 percent of 8th graders cannot
read at grade level, and most will never catch up. Approximately 1.2 million students drop out of high school every year. These
stunning statistics paint an extremely bleak picture as families everywhere are being torn apart and facing daunting challenges in
an ever-changing society.
Despite negative energy and the fiscal catastrophe that has been paralyzing our nation, Beacon Therapeutic has managed to stand
unwavering in the community. We are taking the reins, tackling the important issues and moving forward. Our state-of-the-art
programs combined with a strong culture of collaboration, philosophy of care and forward-thinking approach have allowed us to
continue providing the best possible care, treatment, and resources to the children and families we serve. In total, our extraordinary
and highly focused support programs were delivered to more than 3,047 unduplicated clients this past fiscal year.
Beacon’s footprint in the social services arena continues to expand more and more every day. The great strides in advancing
our mission would not be possible without the passion, drive and dedication of our innovative staff, respected board of directors,
outstanding community supporters, charitable donors, and ground-breaking partnerships. True to our motto, Empowering Lives and
Changing Futures, Beacon is committed to those we serve. I am confident that all of us together, acting on this conviction, will keep
Beacon a first-rate organization during these uncertain economic times.
Thank you for remembering the children and families at our organization who benefit from your generosity and compassion.
No matter where our program participants come from, we are helping them create a successful and rewarding future.

creating futures
Staff at Beacon share a common philosophy of care:
facilitate self-sufficiency, independence, empowerment and
self-fulfillment for all our participants. We implemented the
principles of Trauma Informed Care into our programs and
provide support for Reflective Practice.
Manifested agency wide, we develop and implement our
services and in that manner we support the staff. With
Reflective Practice, supervisors and direct care staff are
assisted in assessing what is effective in treatment by
reviewing services that result in participants’ progress
toward treatment goals and reflecting on what was
effective. This process then analyzes what aspect of the
service/intervention might be again utilized in future
practices to foster successes among both that participant
and other participants.
2 Beacon Therapeutic 2010 Annual Report
Our philosophy of care is providing services and treatment
environments that offer understanding of the multiple and
severe traumas many of our participants have experienced
and the impact of these traumas on their functioning,
responses to other people and to their environments.
Beacon utilizes Motivational Interviewing techniques and
a Harm Reduction philosophy to support participants in
making changes in their lives. They have a voice in their
services and set their own goals. This philosophy places a
strong emphasis on children and adolescents’ relationships
with their caregivers recognizing that strengthening these
attachments assists in reducing the generational impact of
traumas and the resulting cycles of abuse, mental health
problems and homelessness.

Lakisha
lIttlE IntEnsIVE outpatIEnt proGram (lIop) outrEaCH sErVICEs
LIOP, a six hour/day program, offers mental health services to children
ages 3-6 who are experiencing moderate to severe emotional and
behavioral problems at home and in the community. Children enrolled in
LIOP are referred by homeless shelters and are at greater risk for
deterioration, hospitalization, and exclusion from community programs
such as daycares or preschools. Services are focused on developmentally
appropriate individual and group therapies with an emphasis
on fostering a dependable, supportive, and therapeutic environment
where the children are nurtured and allowed to reach their potential.
Most children are imaginative, energetic and full of
wonder. They learn how to have fun, socialize and adjust
to situations with minimal effort. This was not the case
for four-year-old Lakisha and her brother Rickey. The two
children, along with their mother Marlena, stayed in a
shelter for at least five months before joining Beacon’s
Little Intensive Outpatient Program (LIOP). Marlena
admits, “We were scared, we did not feel safe and did
not know what to expect.” The tremendous stressors
of shelter living, the need to find affordable housing
combined with developmental and mental health issues
are devastating. Young children should not have to worry
about where their next meal will come from, if they will
be living in a different shelter every night or if they will be
accepted in a school. Beacon offers families and children
a chance at a secure, stable future.
“I love interacting with the children at Beacon.
A speech given by President Obama inspired
me to become involved with charities.
I decided if I cannot help out in my homeland,
I’ll do it here,” states Mr. Augustave.
Hailing from Haiti, Gus Augustave has been a Foster
Grandparent at Beacon for more than six months giving the
mission a “thumbs up”. The Foster Grandparent program
matches senior adults with various
occupation opportunities at
non-profit organizations.

Nigel
Nigel was merely three years old when he was referred
to Beacon’s LIOP/TOTS program. Angry, fearful and
unpredictable, he had difficulty managing his feelings
often resulting in aggressive tantrums. “Nigel did not
know how to interact with others or how to share,”
said Carolyn, Nigel’s mother. Now at age 5, Nigel has
transformed into a polite, self-confident, stable child.
Outbursts and aggressive behaviors are a thing of the
past. Carolyn adds, “I do not have to tell Nigel to clean
up after himself, he does it on his own. He is proactive
with his own schedule, asking to read a book or go to
the park. A structured environment truly helps.” Nigel
aspires to be a fireman.
“Nigel is a happy spirit now, he has changed for the good.”
—Carolyn, Nigel’s mother
“When Nigel first came to Beacon, he was
very angry and unable to express himself
verbally. Now, he is able to modify his own
behavior and knows how to communicate
his feelings.”

Tom
High School students are referred to Beacon’s tHErapEutIC day sCHool
throughout the year. Certified, skilled teachers and talented teacher assistants team
up in providing academic superiority. Therapists meet with students weekly ensuring
constant support in reaching social/emotional goals. In addition to classroom work,
students have the opportunity to participate in a vocational program to learn
job skills suitable to their functioning level. Students work toward improving
their behaviors while completing their high school academic curriculum. Goals
for students include returning to their home school, successful graduations,
movement into successful post high school lives such as college, vocational school
and/or successful employment. Post graduate outcomes, as well as, outcome data
collected on current students drive decisions on program focus and operations.
In less than a year, Tom surpassed all the goals
initially set for him by Beacon. Upon his arrival to our
Autism Program at the Therapeutic Day School in
Calumet Park, Tom was extremely isolated and needed
constant supervision. Beacon’s careful intervention
and innovative curriculum unlocks the potential and
creativity of every child’s mind allowing them to
thrive academically and socially. Tom now has a job
at the Calumet Park Senior Center, manages his own
checking account, has a driver’s license and proactively
completes errands at home for his mother. His
immediate goal for the future: get a job outside of
the school by the end of the year.
“Tom has gone from a kid who had no control
over any aspect of his life, to a young man
who is actively pursuing his dreams and
goals. It is staggering to see his growth.”
Bill Hanigan,
Teacher

DeAndre
After struggling with maintaining his grades and learning
to control his behavior, DeAndre came to Beacon in
September 2006. The structure and guidance provided
by Beacon helped him progress academically as well as
professionally. He has maintained excellent attendance,
grades and behavior during his involvement in the
program. Through vocational classes and individual
instruction, DeAndre learned how to complete paper and
online job applications, how to dress for a job interview
and how to answer interview questions. Beacon has
helped him acquire invaluable social, communication
and employment skills during his on-the-job training.
He has successfully landed jobs at Chop It Up Barber
Shop, Food 4 Less and upon his high school graduation
in August 2010, DeAndre was accepted at Job Corps.
His goal: to be trained as an electrician.
“DeAndre has come a long way during
his time at Beacon. He has learned the
value of self accomplishment and how to
become independent. I know he will
be successful in life.”
Carrie Patterson,
Vocational Coordinator
At Beacon’s HIGH sCHool, graduates receive more than
a diploma. They leave with dreams and the resources
to achieve those dreams. “Beacon helped me find
goals in my life, and the staff helped me become
successful,” comments DeAndre. Teachers and
counselors invigorate and motivate students
ensuring optimal performance. Whether it is
college, vocational school, or the workforce,
Beacon graduates are equipped with a positive
mindset and a calculated game plan to take
on future life challenges.

Longwood day SchooL
Beacon’s Longwood Campus is the mainstay for private day
school and special education for elementary aged children
and adolescents. Our licensed and highly trained staff caters
to students with autism, mental impairments, specific
learning disabilities, in addition to behavioral and emotional
disorders. Teachers are seeing advances in student’s
behavioral growth through Character Education which
focuses on teaching coping skills and channeling energy
via role play, stories, and acting.
At Beacon, students have a voice in their learning goals. They
have an individual portfolio of their academic work with an
explanation of their grades on how to improve. Portfolios are
used to promote student reflection on their work and build
self-confidence. Through technology, reading and music,
students like Matt (photo, above right) are equipped with the
needed fundamentals to excel in school and go onto college.
8 Beacon Therapeutic 2010 Annual Report
BIg IntenSIve outpatIent program (BIop)
Our Big Intensive Outpatient Program (BIOP) offers mental
health services to children 6 to 18 years of age who are
experiencing moderate to severe emotional and behavioral
problems at home, in the community, and at school. The
program’s focal point is based on group therapy emphasizing
a structured, supportive, and therapeutic environment.
When Dramol (photo, right) arrived at Beacon, he was in third
grade and several educators were convinced he would never learn
to read. Significant family challenges hindered his desire and
ability to achieve. Now, an honor student with attainable goals,
Dramol has words of advice for his peers, “Do not be scared and
try to learn from other people’s mistakes.” His behavior has
improved tremendously during his time at Beacon. As he
advocates, “Set goals and do not stop until they are achieved.
Never back down on your goals.” Dramol’s future goals:
Reintegrate into his home high school and attend college
to be a chef.

actIvItIeS/offerIngS
Staff at our Longwood Campus offers a host of engaging
activities that support and promote success. An array of
programs focusing on proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle
skills meet the age appropriateness of each child.
Beacon’s garden project, funded by Annie’s Organic Food
Products, has been a huge accomplishment and is planting
seeds of hope. With staff assistance, children cultivated
a garden during the summer months and were able to
harvest tomatoes, cucumbers and green peppers. The
pumpkins are still growing! Often times, the children Beacon
serves are unfamiliar with vegetables and rarely have fresh
produce available in their own homes. This has been a
great opportunity to add vegetables to their lives and all the
children were excited to eat the food they had grown.
In addition to the garden project, Beacon has adapted a
Medical Care Notebook for our homeless families. This
booklet gives families a central, organized location for
their medical needs and information. It is a place to record
important phone numbers, medications, family history and
store their medical card.
Activities at Beacon’s Longwood Campus are a broad
presentation of our conviction that establishing genuine
relationships with children is the foundation we use to help
students learn self-sustaining ways of relating.

in 1992, Beacon Therapeutic’s Shelter Outreach Services (SOS)
helps break the cycle of homelessness for families. A key
group of professional staff delivers community-based mobile
mental health services in 31 emergency/interim, transitional,

their lives and find permanent housing. Once families obtain
permanent housing, Beacon Therapeutic additionally provides
essential follow-up care for up to six months. n
10 Beacon Therapeutic 2010 Annual Report
“Beacon has long been the expert on serving homeless
children and the whole family, which had not been a
common priority of homeless programs. Over the past few
years, however, Beacon has become a leader in shifting
priorities to put greater emphasis on children—how
they are impacted by various levels of homelessness,
and how to intervene to hopefully break any future
cycle of homelessness. Beacon’s ability to form critical
partnerships with other service organizations and systems
of care will help lead Chicago’s increased efforts to
comprehensively serve our most vulnerable families.”
Betsy Benito, Projects Administrator, Ten-Year Plan to End
Homelessness; Director for Corporation for Supportive
Housing Illinois Program (currently)

to have total support
from Beacon. No one has
ever shown my family so
much love and support,”
expressed Kenyatta.
