Suicide Response Team

Dear Friends, This Annual Report shines a spotlight on the impact of your support in 2019. As my retirement approaches, I’d like to share some milestones that we accomplished together over the last quarter of a century.

I joined Didi Hirsch in 1994 as the Division Director of Family Services. Since 1999, I have served as President and CEO, never imagining I would spend my final months leading the Agency through the COVID-19 pandemic. How lucky I am to have been able to bring the girl who used angles of light to calculate the circumference of the earth and the teen who printed a poetry chapbook to work every day. My head and heart have been fulfilled. Then and now, four polestars have guided Didi Hirsch’s work.

ERASING STIGMA: After debating whether stigma was too negative a word, in 1997 Didi Hirsch launched our annual Erasing the Stigma Awards by honoring Tipper Gore, one of the first public figures to openly discuss her depression and treatment.

We have come a long way; erasing stigma has become a public mantra. Most of us now understand that mental illnesses are brain diseases, and we are more comfortable talking about our panic attacks and social phobias. But when it comes to substance use, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, implicit biases that affect medical treatment and hiring decisions are still common.

Stigma also affects how we treat ourselves. I’m a therapist and have taken thyroid medication for years, but I put off trying an antidepressant for decades—even after a serious suicide attempt.

SERVING THOSE MOST IN NEED: In addition to erasing stigma, our commitment to helping the most vulnerable communities led us to add “communities where stigma or poverty limits access,” to our mission. As we watched the neighborhoods around our headquarters become more affluent, we began evolving from a Westside-centric organization to one with a broader reach. In the early 90’s, we added a Crisis Residential program and outpatient clinic in Inglewood. Other expansions that highlight the Board’s commitment to our mission and our future include: • In 1997, we absorbed Family Service of Los Angeles, preserving clinics in South Los Angeles and the MacArthur Park area, as well as making a home for the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Center—a national treasure, which had joined Family Service after falling on its own hard times.

• In 2010, we secured a contract with Orange County to train multicultural communities to recognize and respond to the warning signs of suicide and provide therapy and group support to individuals grieving a loss or recovering from a suicide attempt. Community input also helped us adapt our practices to the customs and values of different communities.

• When Verdugo Mental Health faced bankruptcy in 2011, we stepped in to preserve services that Glendale and nearby areas had counted on for 50 years, including the largest ArmenianAmerican community in the U.S. TAKING SUICIDE OUT Of THE SHADOWS: In the last 23 years, the Suicide Prevention Center has flourished. To accommodate the increasing demand for its services, in 2015 the Board of Directors unanimously voted to launch a Capital Campaign to fund a permanent and much larger home. A key requirement was that it be on a busy street where thousands of people would see our “Suicide Prevention Center” sign. In February 2019, we moved in, and as we hoped, our sign has become a beacon. For people who are grieving and for people looking for a reason to live. Within this Annual Report, you will discover how much we have been able to expand.

The pandemic has demonstrated that mental health and substance use treatment providers are the unsung heroes of healthcare.

Eventually, we will gather at concerts, beaches and work again. But millions will have lost their jobs and their homes, as well as their loved ones. They will need us. Children who re-adjusting to unsafe streets and bullies at school will need us, too.

I hope we can continue to count on your help, as I have for the last 26th years.

You, too are unsung heroes.

With gratitude,

KIta s. Curry, Phd dIdI hIrsCh mental health servICes PresIdent/Ceo sInCe 1999

67% of adult clients reported decreased stress.

RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTERS Christina was training to be a volunteer crisis counselor for Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Crisis Line when she saw Via Avanta on a map of the agency’s locations.

The name rang a bell—for a good reason. She had been born there.

Christina’s mom, Marie, was 21 and struggling with a heroin addiction, when she realized she was pregnant. Determined to stop using drugs and to get away from an abusive boyfriend, she entered Via Avanta, a residential treatment program for women where she could recover and have her baby.

After giving birth, Marie got a job and turned her life around. “Didi Hirsch helped save my mom’s life,” Christina says. By helping her mother get off drugs, Via Avanta arguably also saved Christina’s.

Today, Christina repays the favor by giving back to others at Didi Hirsch. She began volunteering for our suicide prevention crisis line while earning her undergraduate degree and after earning her doctorate in psychology, she returned to Didi Hirsch. As a therapist, she facilitates a group for clients who have survived a suicide attempt, conducts trainings and speaks at schools.

She and Marie returned to Via Avanta to share their experiences. “I heard my mom’s story in another, deeper way,” Christina says. The women there “were worried about what their children would think of them,” she recalls. “I let them know I love my mom unconditionally — and that I know this program works because I’m one of the kids that it helped.”

92% of parents were satisďŹ ed with services their children received.

CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES Nick and his older brother endured emotional and physical abuse from their mentally ill mother, who blamed them for her condition.

Traumatized by his experience, Nick started receiving therapy at Didi Hirsch, where he learned that he should not accept blame for her disease and that healing is possible. To support other young people struggling with abusive parents, Nick, now 18 and a college freshman, helped to organize Didi Hirsch’s fourth annual Teen Summit. He plans to continue to volunteer as much as his full-time course load allows.

“Didi Hirsch chose the right therapist for me,” Nick says.

“He really understood me, and he helped with my own personal growth and development and my own healing. It was so powerful to finally find a place where I could say my raw, honest, vulnerable truths and really be open and one with myself and others. I’m so grateful I found this place.”

Nick has reconnected with his mother, who finally got the help she needed after being institutionalized.

With the rest of his life before him, Nick is considering a career in public speaking. He is also putting his experiences into poetry, a book and seminars he is developing about personal growth. “I love speaking and being of service to others,” he says.

79% of adult clients reported decreased anxiety and depression.

ADULT SERVICES Michael struggled throughout childhood with anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. And then his family learned he was gay.

Born in 1951 to Southern Baptist parents in a small East Coast town, Michael grew up hiding his sexuality from the outside world. Once his parents became aware, they demanded that Michael change his sexual orientation, fearing that they might lose their jobs, his brother would be unable to find employment, his sisters would be unable to find husbands and they would have to move out of the state.

Feeling ostracized and isolated, Michael considered suicide. Eventually, he moved to Los Angeles, where his depression became so intense that he could no longer hold a job. His brother, from across the country, recommended that Michael turn to Didi Hirsch for help.

“At my lowest point, I went for eight months without taking a shower or brushing my teeth or changing my clothes,” he says. “I didn’t have any money, so I was eating out of the trash cans in the park.”

With treatment and support, he recovered and now volunteers at the Culver City Library and the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which presented him with its 2019 Most Dedicated Volunteer award for devoting eight hours a week for a year and a half to the center. “I would tell anybody with a problem to contact Didi Hirsch,” he says. “The people here are so kind and caring. If they can’t help you, they can connect you to someone who can.”

81% of adult clients reported improved functioning.

SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES Alonzo spent much of his life in prison and was rarely free for more than six months at a time. Then, as a condition of his probation, he began seeing a Didi Hirsch therapist.

“I didn’t take it seriously at first,” Alonzo acknowledges. But when his probation ended, he kept his appointments. His therapist helped Alonzo to understand the circumstances of his early years that contributed to his turning to drugs for solace and gangs for a sense of belonging. The counseling enabled Alonzo to work on changing his path, and he began sharing his story as a way to help others avoid the sorts of mistakes he had made.

Alonzo, now 50, was an adolescent when he committed his first robbery and faced his first arrest. In the 27 years he spent in prison, he experienced, many traumas, including being stabbed, which added PTSD to his depression.

Thanks to Didi Hirsch, Alonzo says, “I learned how to care about myself. Then, when you start to see your accomplishments, you realize that feels so much better than getting high.” Those accomplishments include harnessing his artistic talent to design logos for hats and T-shirts, including some to advertise Didi Hirsch events.

With his life on track, Alonzo has reconnected with his daughter, who earned a master’s degree and works in education. Depression still casts its shadow, but, thanks to Didi Hirsch, Alonzo says he now has coping skills. “Didi Hirsch,” he says, “has been with me through thick and thin.”

SUICIDE PREVENTION CENTER

Located on a busy street in Century City, Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Center opened its new building in February 2019 and is a beacon of hope for people in crisis nationwide.

The first in the United States, Didi Hirsch’ Suicide Prevention Center has been a model for other organizations since it was founded in 1958. For many years, the Center was tucked away in a leased building it shared with another program, essentially invisible to the public. With the support of many benefactors, Didi Hirsch purchased and renovated a building in Century City that now serves as the Center’s permanent home. During our Grand Opening celebrations in February 2019, we unveiled prominent signs that proudly declare the building’s purpose and serve as a beacon of hope.

In the first few months, dozens of residents contemplating suicide or worrying about a friend or loved one walked in seeking help. One woman struggling with suicidal thoughts pulled into the driveway and told staff she was looking for a sign that “there might still be hope for me.” Our sign became her sign and staff quickly arranged the

care she required. Here are some additional highlights of the impact the Suicide Prevention Center has had on the community, nation and world: CRISIS LINES: As a key partner of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the national Disaster Distress Helpline, our 24/7 multilingual Crisis Center has become one of the busiest in the United States; our crisis counselors answered 130,000 calls and chats nationwide in 2019— 30,000 more than they did the year before. To keep our Crisis Lines fully covered, we increased our volunteer crisis counselor trainings from three to six a year.

TEEN SUPPORT: Everychild Foundation’s $1 million grant in 2018 allowed us to expand our suicide prevention program, especially focusing on youth under 24 and their families. In 2019, we began offering support groups for teens bereaved by suicide. We also provided 63 suicide prevention trainings at schools and universities, teaching more

than 7,000 students, teachers and parents how to recognize and respond to suicide’s warning signs.

NATIONAL TRAININGS: With the support of a grant from Kate Spade New York, we trained 50 facilitators from 23 states nationwide in our Survivors of Suicide Attempts support group curriculum. Our manual was downloaded more than 1,800 times by mental health professionals in every state and 33 countries.

SHARING OUR EXPERTISE: Our suicide prevention experts presented papers, ran workshops or spoke on panels at 16 conferences nationwide, including two in Washington, DC and one in Minneapolis, MN that focused on the high rate of suicide among farmers, many of whom struggled to keep family farms running during the last economic downturn.

MEDIA OUTREACH: Over 280 media outlets around the nation and world ran stories that mentioned Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Center or quoted its experts. The total reach was over 300 million. This news coverage not only raised awareness about suicide but also extended the Suicide Prevention Center’s leadership role as a global resource of healing and hope.

Crisis counselors find respite by sharing meals and other activities in the break room.

Didi Hirsch offers support groups for people who have been bereaved by suicide or have survived an attempt.

More than 300 volunteers and 70 staff answer calls and chats on Didi Hirsch’s multilingual 24/7 Suicide Crisis Line.

New York Times bestselling authors David Sheff and Nic Sheff, the NFL Players Association, Inc., filmmaker William “Michael” Barbee, and YouTube music sensation Alex Boyé were honored at Didi Hirsch’s 23rd Annual Erasing the Stigma Awards on Thursday, April 25, 2019.

The event raised over $550,000 to support the agency’s mental health, substance use and suicide prevention services. It was emceed by TV host/producer Melissa Rivers, a suicide prevention advocate and member of Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services’ Board of Directors David Sheff and his son, Nic Sheff, received the Beatrice Stern Media Award for the memoirs they each wrote about their family’s devastating experience with substance use disorder. Their experience inspired the feature film, Beautiful Boy, starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet.

Business mogul Kathy Ireland, who is on the board of The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), introduced NFL Offensive Tackle Donald Penn, who accepted the Leadership Award on behalf of NFLPA, the union for professional football players in the National Football League. The NFLPA has launched several initiatives to address the mental health of players and their families.

Actor Bill Duke presented entrepreneur and filmmaker William Michael Barbee with the Leadership Award for producing, writing and directing Beyond the Silence, a feature film about how people with mental illness are often incarcerated instead of treated.

Melissa Rivers presented Alex Boyé with the Mental Health Ambassador Award. Boyé is a multicultural musical artist who is passionate about spreading messages of hope through his music.

Presented by the Fletcher Family Foundation, Didi Hirsch’s 21st annual Alive & Running 5K for Suicide Prevention was a record-breaking event, drawing more than 200 teams and 2,500 registrants and raising more than $500,000 for its Suicide Prevention Center.

The Sept. 29 event was emceed by actress Catherine Hicks (7th Heaven) and featured guest speaker Talinda Bennington, a suicide prevention advocate. Alex Boyé, Didi Hirsch’s 2019 Mental Health Ambassador, performed several songs, while TV personality Eric Bigger, a finalist on TV show The Bachelorette led the warm-up. On-air talent from Power 106 and KDAY helped with announcements and music and brought an art installation in the shape of the words “What is Your Why?” for people to write on.

Didi Hirsch President/CEO Kita S. Curry, PhD presented the Community Partner Award to Jonathan Sherin, MD, PhD, Director of the

Los Angeles County’s Department of Mental Health, which provided $2.3 million in funding to support the Suicide Prevention Center.

Pamela Kluft, Vice Chair of Didi Hirsch’s Board of Directors and Chair of the Event, presented the Inspiration Award to two survivors of suicide loss: Miguel Serricchio, who survived the suicide of his 20-year-old son, Alejandro, and now co-leads bereavement support groups in Spanish; and Michael Lynch, a marathon runner who has had a team at the 5K every year since his brother died by suicide in 2007.

Board Chair Christopher J. Harrer presented the Hope Award to Juanita Benitez, the captain of Team H.O.P.E (Hold-On-PainEnds), who helps raise awareness about suicide in the Latino community by talking about losing both her father and brother to suicide, and brings dozens of family and friends to the race each year.

Christopher J. Harrer, Chair of the Board of Directors Dear Friends, What a stellar year it has been for Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services! On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’d like to review just a few of the highlights.

Our new Suicide Prevention Center, which has been open for more than a year in a striking building at 10277 Olympic Blvd., has helped tens of thousands of people who have contemplated suicide or lost a friend or relative to suicide. Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Crisis Line, support groups and training programs have become models for mental health professionals and first responders throughout the world who share our goal of erasing the stigma of mental illness.

The center required a leap of faith, but everyone involved was determined to get it up and running. The $20-million capital campaign that made the site purchase and construction possible was the largest in Didi Hirsch’s history. We have raised nearly 85 percent of the total, with much of the hard-won support coming from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and foundations that Kita S. Curry, PhD, our tireless President and Chief Executive, courted in Southern California and Sacramento. More about Kita in a moment.

Meanwhile, our therapists have continued to engage with clients at 10 centers, about 120 schools

and in settings such as Skid Row, helping to transform lives by providing quality mental health, substance use and suicide prevention services in communities where stigma or poverty makes it difficult to access care. All told, Didi Hirsch helped nearly 160,000 children and adults in 2019.

Now we are well along in 2020, and Didi Hirsch looks forward to a new decade of growth and commitment during which we can build on our strong foundation as a $54-million agency with more than 550 staff members and 300 volunteers. As we contemplate that promising future, let us also look back at some of the amazing people who helped get us here.

I want to offer thanks to two retiring Board members. Martin J. Frank joined the Board in 2003 and served as Chair from 2010 to 2012. He also chaired our Suicide Prevention Center capital campaign. Charlotte W. Fletcher, PhD, and her family made a generous lead gift to our capital campaign. A survivor of suicide loss, she volunteered as a crisis line counselor over 40 years ago, an experience that prompted her to pursue a career in mental health.

She has served on the Board since 2004. To both, we offer our abiding gratitude.

Then there is Kita, our fearless, passionate leader, who has announced that she will be retiring this Fall after decades of work

to erase stigma and bring suicide out of the shadows. Kita became CEO of Didi Hirsch in 1999, when total revenues were $17 million and the agency helped about 29,000 people. That year, we raised about $500,000 in private contributions and grants. This year, on Kita’s watch, we raised more than $5 million in contributions and grants. Kita is a fierce advocate who has spoken openly about her and her family’s experience with depression and suicide to demonstrate that you can live successfully with mental illness.

I’ll be stepping down as Board Chair in June, after four years of accompanying Kita on this journey. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with her. She will be missed tremendously, but she leaves the agency in solid financial condition to continue providing its lifechanging services for years to come. The Board is committed to continuing to pursue Kita’s vision and has launched a national search to find her replacement—someone capable of building on her accomplishments and taking Didi Hirsch to an even higher level.

Let me close by offering Kita our profound thanks and best wishes for a marvelous next chapter.

Warm regards,
