A LETTER FROM Dr. Sam Flanders Chairperson of the Board of Directors Brent Wirth President/CEO 2015 was a great year at Easter Seals Michigan. We witnessed many successes and are honored to partner with, and serve individuals with disabilities or special needs, and their families. This year our reach and impact grew by 14%, to an annual total of 10,890 individuals. This extraordinary growth was made possible through our partnerships that have supported our efforts in enhancing and expanding our service array. One exciting innovative program is the LUNA Model, a statewide early intervention program for children who have experienced trauma. This program provides for access, early intervention and assessment for those in need of trauma informed/ related services. We are incredibly thankful to the Michigan Health Endowment Fund and to all of those who have invested their time, talents and funds to make LUNA a reality. Another exciting success to the community was made possible by the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. While there are many perceptions surrounding this Act, we are appreciative that it has overwhelmingly increased access to health care and provides for health care equity. The health care system in the United States is now beginning to recognize the need to bridge health care and community health, with a focus on social determinants. This new found emphasis focusing on the whole person, has been anchored within our mission and is the basis for the foundation of who we are. Consideration of social needs, including housing, education, health care, employment and social integration, has always been what we are all about. We are excited about the future of our health care system and look forward to continuing our evolution into partnering with other providers. Our focus on improving the overall health of our communities is our number one goal. We thank you for your generous support of our mission to create solutions that change lives for children and adults with disabilities and their families. With heartfelt thanks,

The National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention estimates 26% of children witness or experience a traumatic event before they turn four in the U.S., and, if left untreated, the consequences can be deadly. In 2015, 800 children were screened using our LUNA model.
ACTING ON TRAUMA Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that focuses on addressing the needs of children and adolescents (ages three to 18) with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other difficulties related to traumatic life events.

GABBY & DUNCAN
Easter Seals Michigan Child Ambassadors Laurel and Steve Smith adopted two Russian children—Gabby, 13, and Duncan, 11—when the children were very young. While the youths have progressed in their decade here, some of the effects of the trauma they endured haven’t been erased. Both children spent time in orphanages and hospitals, as well as private residences, where they were both neglected. Exactly what the children experienced is unknown. Gabby was adopted when she was 25 months old and when she arrived here she was 15 pounds, 27 inches–the size of a typical four-monthold in the United States. Thanks to hormones, she has grown to about 4 feet 11 inches tall and 80 pounds. Her “hyper vigilance” and rigidity is a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder.
10
Duncan was adopted when he was about eight months old. He was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder that later developed into Asperger’s syndrome. Both of the children have problems with food and “will eat anything” because they were not well-fed in Russia. In fact, Duncan prefers his food cold because that is what he is used to. Both have also been affected by a lack of love and affection during infancy, including being held or coddled. The Smiths took advantage of a new LUNA Model program that steers services to children who have experienced any type of trauma -- whether it’s witnessing or being involved in a violent assault or more subtle, ongoing events such as lack of basic care. The children have made huge improvements since joining Easter Seals Michigan and they continue to advance.
LUNA works to help you LOOK for signs of trauma, UNCOVER the cause, NUTURE recovery and ACT to address long-term effects.

STEVE
Easter Seals Michigan Adult Ambassador Since Steve was in his 20s, he remembers struggling to stay motivated. He would often lie in bed for long periods of time searching to find energy to get up and move. Simple tasks like taking a shower, brushing his teeth or getting dressed would exhaust him and most days he wouldn’t do anything. One day Steve had enough and decided to get help. He began going to a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.
12
Steve’s depression was so bad that many of the doctors told him that he wouldn’t be able to hold a job, or maintain relationships. That didn’t sit well with Steve. He had goals he wanted to accomplish. Steve spent several years seeing different doctors and trying various programs until he came to Easter Seals Michigan. Now, 10 years later, Steve has made enormous strides in his personal development and continues seeing improvements every day. He is married with six wonderful children, and owns his own company.
“They are always available, through the good times and bad”, says Steve. “Easter Seals Michigan never gave up on me.”
