ince first opening our doors in 1920, we knew that to remain committed to offering the community the best services available, we would need to always be on the cutting edge of services to those with disabilities. I am proud to say that this past year we have continued that tradition and would like to share with you some of those innovations.

In January, we launched our MindKare kiosk on the campus of Oakland University. This kiosk, which was placed strategically in the library, provides accessible and confidential mental health screenings. This is the first kiosk of this type in the state and has assisted over 900 individuals (and growing) in taking that first step to being mentally healthy. This success has garnered national attention and other universities are expressing interest in obtaining a kiosk at their sites.

This summer, we expanded our menu offerings to provide not just hot dogs and nachos, but healthy options, at our Easterseals Miracle League of Michigan concession stand. This effort, with the support of the Walmart Foundation, afforded us to expand our hours, offer healthy choices, and most importantly, established employment opportunities for those living with a disability.

Often, mental health challenges develop in early childhood and these

are very much treatable. Because most children spend much of their time “2017 was a remarkable year. We

at school, we developed and/or strengthened partnerships with leading provided services to those in need

school districts that recognize the need for mental health supports and at a record pace and celebrated a services. These collaborative efforts provide needed access to mental marked increase in volunteers.�

health care which assists students to be more engaged in school and

successful in life. We are currently collaborating with Clarkston, Holly, Pontiac, and Oakland schools, with several more districts on the near horizon.

2017 was a remarkable year at Easterseals Michigan. The demand for our services, including autism, behavioral health, integrated care, substance use, senior services, and our trauma assessment and intervention services, has never been greater. We provided services to those in need at a record pace and celebrated a marked increase in volunteers.

Our ability to serve those in need is made available through many generous gifts of time, talent and resources which afford us the opportunity to make a significant difference in people’s lives every day, and ensures that Easterseals Michigan will continue to play a critical role as we look to a future that holds possibilities for everyone.

We thank each of you, those we serve, our volunteers, donors, funders, corporate partners and everyone that joins with us to advance our mission. Thank you for believing in Easterseals Michigan; we believe in you.

Our Center Line location has been steadily expanding since opening in 2013 - growing from zero served in 2013 to over 1,400 annually.

Services include behavioral health, autism services and co-located primary care.

With an increased need in the west side of Oakland County, we added our Walled Lake location in 2015.

Successes&H We updated our electronic medical record system which provides us with the ability to make timely changes and updates. This update will allow us to serve a wider array of people, therefore serving more of the community’s needs.

We completed the implementation of the new Easterseals brand by updating our agency brochure and community outreach materials and messenging with a bold new look.

Our staff is dedicated to serving the community. We were named one of the 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in West Michigan for the 11th year in a row and in Metro Detroit for the 16th year in a row. We also had an 81% retention rate with staff, which is 12% better than the national average of 72%!

“Happy or Not” kiosks were placed in lobbies in seven locations to get feedback that will help us to enhance our services.

Highlights

Our Easterseals Miracle League of Michigan had over 400 players and 1,200 volunteers participate in the baseball, bowling, football and dance programs.

Our Easterseals Dreams Unlimited Clubhouse celebrated our 25th year in Royal Oak. Since opening, 785 people have been helped by the program. We also found employment for 250 people, served 17,564 meals, and provided 111,259 hours of service to the community.

Last year we served 134 farmers with our Michigan AgrAbility program, an increase of 20% from the previous year. The program provides direct services to farmers with injuries, illnesses or aging conditions so they can continue their occupation.

“Playing with others like her, others not like her, and others who see no differences at all makes the Easterseals Miracle League of Michigan an organization second to none. April now asks if we can go bowling outside of the league and started ballet class recently, so now she can say she’s a baseball player, a bowler, a ballerina and anything else she decides she wants to be.”

– Andrea, April’s mother

Meet April

Easterseals Michigan Child Ambassador

W

hen April was 14 months old, she was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, a degenerative muscle disease causing impaired mobility and activities of daily

living, eating difficulties, difficulty breathing, and chronic respiratory insufficiency. She is wheelchair bound, unable to crawl, sit up on her own, stand, bathe herself or even comb her own hair. April has never allowed any of these deficiencies to stop her from enjoying life.

She is a very active first grader who dreams of being a princess ballerina; loves all things pink, purple and glittery; and adores Disney princesses.

She also loves bowling, dancing and playing baseball.

What you don’t realize, is that April enjoys these activities with a very special group of friends that play and dance with her through the Easterseals Miracle League of Michigan. Her family turned to Easterseals to keep April active and social. The results have been life-changing.

“I give lots of credit to Easterseals,” says Dakota. “They helped me to build my confidence and deal with my emotions. I learned that despite going through tough times, in every bad situation there is a little good.”

Meet Dakota

Easterseals Michigan Child Ambassador

A

s a child Dakota was bullied due to his small size and learning disabilities. The bullying escalated to repeated assaults that eventually resulted in a concussion. Bullying made it difficult for

Dakota to focus in school. His grades slipped, he had low self-esteem, suffered from severe anxiety, and had trouble controlling his anger.

His family was referred to Easterseals Michigan to begin behavioral health services. He was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. Just as he began to thrive in treatment, his father passed away unexpectedly.

Dakota was severely affected by this loss and began showing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Despite the many traumas and hurdles that Dakota has experienced, he remained focused on improving his mental health.

Today, Dakota is 13 years old and lives with his grandparents in Madison Heights. Since he began services at Easterseals Michigan, his selfesteem has increased, he is on the honor roll at school, and was recently named Student of the Month.

His favorite class is Tech Ed and he is interested in anything related to computers and technology. Dakota wants to be a technician when he grows up and we have no doubt he will accomplish that goal.

“He is a strong boy”, says Dakota’s Grandmother. “Easterseals has helped him become stronger.”

“Once I stopped resisting treatment, everything became so simple.

Easterseals gives me the tools and consistency I need to live a better life.”

– Michael

Meet Michael

Easterseals Michigan Adult Ambassador

M

ichael was born in Puerto Rico. He was adopted by his grandmother and moved to the U.S. when he was just a baby.

Having served in Iraq and Afghanistan for nearly 10 years,

he came home to Michigan after an injury and to help take care of his ailing grandmother and aunt. While immersing himself in this caregiver role, Michael ignored his own emerging mental health issues – he was experiencing bouts of recklessness, intense anger, and depression much of which stemmed from his time overseas. He turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. While the anger and depression worsened, so did the substance use, until Michael hit rock bottom and was arrested.

As part of Michael’s probation, he was sent to Easterseals Michigan for services.

He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADD. Today, Michael has a great job as the manager of a restaurant and is engaged to be married.

He continues to receive therapy at Easterseals, shares his thoughts in group on a regular basis, and is completely sober. Michael now puts his own mental health and sobriety first, and because of this, he is better able to support his family and friends.
