Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley
“
FAST IS THE KIND OF PROGRAM THAT HAS MY BACK. THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP ME REACH MY GOALS. A local teen, who came to our Teen Families and Schools Together (Teen FAST) Program with family challenges, a record of truancies, and no clear path to high school graduation. She started college this fall.
FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO Dear Friends, The circle of support we offer to our clients is made possible by our compassionate donors and advocates who make behavioral health a priority. Thank you for your shared commitment to ensuring people in our community have access to the professional help they need to become stronger, safer and more self-sufficient. We are delighted to share with you this progress report. The client success stories (page 7, 13) are just two examples of the life transformations that your generosity makes possible. The 2016 fiscal year was a busy one for us. Our core services, including the sliding fee scale mental health programs made possible thanks to Valle Monte League and individual donors, saw growing numbers of clients, often with complex needs.
• Relapse prevention for adults reentering the community after incarceration • Treatment for co-occurring (mental health and substance use) disorders I would like to express my appreciation to our Board of Directors, Advisory Council, volunteers, donors, employees, and government, foundation, corporate, and nonprofit partners. We are proud of FCS’s legacy of service in Santa Clara County and excited about the opportunities to come as a division of Caminar. In gratitude,
Diana Neiman President & CEO
In addition, we applied our expertise to meet emerging community needs by growing in such area as: • Bilingual case management, support groups, and individual and family counseling services for survivors of domestic violence
This fall, we announced that FCS will be merging with San Mateo-based Caminar for Mental Health in 2017. Read more on page 4. 3
GROWING WITH CAMINAR This fall, our Board of Directors authorized FCS to merge with San Mateo-based Caminar for Mental Health effective January 1, 2017.
Merging will allow FCS and Caminar to leverage each other’s strengths to enhance the continuum of care for clients.
The behavioral health field has been changing over the last few years, bringing both opportunities for needed innovation and growing regulatory requirements.
This is a merger of strength. Both FCS and Caminar are in strong financial positions with robust and vibrant programs.
As the field continues to evolve, larger organizations with top quality programs and the capacity to offer clients coordinated behavioral and physical health care will be best positioned to grow and thrive.
Our organizations are built on complementary visions and goals, particularly a shared commitment to building bridges to wellness, resiliency, and selfsufficiency for vulnerable members of our community. As of January 1, FCS will operate as a division of Caminar.
The new organization will have nearly 500 employees and serve more than 14,000 individuals annually in Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Solano counties. FCS CEO Diana Neiman will become executive director of programs and services of the FCS division, while Caminar CEO Chip Huggins will lead the expanded organization. All FCS programs will continue to serve our clients. Moreover, the merger will bring opportunities for program expansion and innovation for the benefit of the individuals and families we serve.
About Caminar: Founded in 1964, Caminar was built on a commitment to improve community-based support services and opportunities. Caminar believes that providing support services that enable people in their recovery process to live independently and self-sufficiently, in accordance with their ability and choice is essential to quality of life. Caminar offers mental health services and case management, medication clinics, residential programs, and supported housing, education, and employment programs.

OUR SERVICES Mission: To build strong, safe, and self-sufficient individuals, families, and communities.
CHILDREN
TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS
ADULTS
FAMILIES
Individual and family counseling assists children, teens, and adults with depression, anxiety, the effects of trauma, and other mental health conditions, as well as parenting and relationship concerns. Children and adults who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing and their family members receive mental health and support services from clinicians who are knowledgeable about Deaf culture and fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). Parents and partners gain skills and tools to break cycles of intimate partner violence and child abuse/ neglect through counseling and psycho-educational programming. Teens gain healthy relationship skills and an understanding of power dynamics of dating and partner violence. Survivors of violence connect with peer support, trauma-informed counseling, and connections to resources. Multigenerational wellness services enhance support for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning) individuals and their family members. Students with complex needs receive professional counseling services on-campus. Family counseling and consultations provide parents and guardians with knowledge and tools to support their children’s mental health and wellness.
You help more than
11,000 individuals each year receive counseling, prevention, and supportive services.
Substance use treatment, including intensive outpatient services and in-custody relapse prevention services, empower adults in recovery to maintain sobriety.
Youth and young adults transitioning to independence from foster care gain essential life skills and receive one-toone, youth-centered guidance, mentoring, and counseling.
Adults with cooccurring mental health and substance use disorders receive specialized care to support for their recovery and stability.
The LGBTQ Youth Space offers safe places for young people to access culturallycompetent counseling and peer support and to enjoy leadership and community-building opportunities.
Individualized care empowers adults with serious mental illness to manage their conditions and become more self-sufficient. As often as possible, our clinicians work with the family as a whole.
The Teen Families and Schools Together (FAST) Program reduces risk factors for drop-out, drug use, delinquency, and gang involvement for high-risk teens, while addressing trauma, building resiliency, and strengthening protective factors, such as improved family functioning, wellness skils, self-confidence, and peer support.

BUILDING NURTURING FAMILIES “I’m a better mother, a better wife, and a better Victoria today,” said Victoria at the conclusion of her Building Nurturing Families Program workshops. Victoria sought out this free, voluntary family program because she wanted to create better relationships with her two children. She had taken parenting classes before and attempted to make some changes with her younger child, yet she found setting rules and using positive discipline techniques challenging. Raised by very strict parents, Victoria used similar techniques, like hitting, with her oldest child, a son. By the time her daughter was born, she had taken some classes and learned other strategies, yet her son was distant and often seemed resentful toward her.
At Building Nurturing Families, Victoria attended weekly sessions with her husband, both children (now 4 and 9 years old), and 11 other families. Our program uses the highly-regarded, researchbased Nurturing Parenting Program curriculum to offer age-appropriate activities for children, parent skill-building, and family activities as part of every session. Over the course of the weeks, Victoria and her family practiced at home what they were learning. For example, Victoria and husband gave her children the opportunity to be part of the decision making regarding rules and discipline at home.
Victoria also began setting aside one-to-one time with each child. Toward the end of the program, Victoria spoke with her son about how she had parented in the past. He began expressing his feelings to her more often and gradually became more loving toward her. “This is the first time I was able to take something home from a parenting class and make positive changes in my and my family’s lives,” said Victoria. We are appreciative of the financial support of the Child Abuse Council of Santa Clara County for our Building Nurturing Families services.
Fearing that she would damage her relationship with her daughter, too, she avoided offering any discipline, which was creating new problems at home.

HEALING & MOVING FORWARD When Joshua* graduated from the Mental Health Court, he felt happier than he’d been at his high school graduation. He had so much progress to celebrate. Joshua had been living a good life: working part-time, attending college, getting by in this housing market by renting a room from friends, and proud to be moving closer to his goals. Then one day, he entered the house and his world turned upside down. The next thing Joshua knew, he was in the hospital being told that he had experienced a severe manic episode. Not only that, his housemates had filed charges against him for criminal trespass and damage to property.
“
These were Joshua’s first encounters with the police and with a psychiatric facility. He was scared. While at the hospital, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Thanks to Santa Clara County’s innovative Superior Court system, Joshua’s case was referred to the Mental Health Court, where he was linked with numerous support services based at the courthouse, including our mental health services. Our counselor answered Joshua’s questions about his diagnosis. Joshua realized that he had been coping with symptoms for a long time without knowing it. Learning that his condition could be managed brought a sense of hope back to Joshua.
Over several months, with regular therapy and case management services from FCS, began to feel healthier and more able to manage everyday life. Joshua also was diligent in complying with all court requirements. As he gained confidence that he could manage his symptoms, he began work in a supported employment program. In recognition of his completion of the court program and his progress in recovery, Joshua’s charges were dismissed and he celebrated his graduation from the court. Joshua continues to access our mental health services, such as medication monitoring, and he is looking forward to returning to college one day soon.
CLIENT VOICES As a kid, I was burned with cigarettes, neglected, and treated like ‘less’. With the counseling and support I have received at FCS, I have learned to see people for who they are, which has helped me forgive and strive to be the man I want to be.” A client who accessed our services after release from jail
