Letter from the CEO When I look at the past year, I’m once again amazed and proud of what the dedicated, determined staff at FSGC accomplished during these difficult and uncertain times. FSGC served a record 14,218 children and their families in 2012: 5,723 in active treatment and 8,495 children through education and outreach programs. The number of clients in active treatment is up 10 percent from just two years ago. FSGC will be a provider under KanCare, the State’s new Medicaid Managed Care program. KanCare will add a layer of administrative cost to the agency, but we are hopeful that we won’t experience restrictions on our ability to provide medically necessary services. On the positive side, KanCare emphasizes coordination between physical health and mental health providers. This should ultimately result in better care for our children and families. Several new services began in 2012: • The Transition Aged Youth program, which focuses on the unique needs of severely emotionally disturbed (SED) youth age 16-22, grew and maintained program fidelity as indicated by the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare. • Research-based treatments like the Girls Empowerment Group were launched. • The Anxiety Treatment Program has grown to become a regional resource. • FSGC is an active participant in Shawnee County’s Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative. • Finally, FSGC is working with pediatric specialists, primary care providers and foster care and family preservation contractors to coordinate care and provide mental health supports to children and parents. Other highlights include: • Some FSGC staff members have been certified to teach Mental Health First Aid, an innovative class that teaches the public how to recognize the signs of mental illness and gives a five-step plan for helping individuals connect with the services they need. • The FSGC Foundation’s Securing Brighter Futures Campaign goal was increased, thanks to a very large gift. At year’s end, the campaign was moving steadily toward the $2.3 million goal. The Foundation distributes funds to specified FSGC programs such as Transition Aged Youth and community programs such as the Parent-Child Fun Night. Albert Einstein wrote, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” He was right. I see it every day when all 280 of FSGC’s staff – from clinicians to administrative staff to the Leadership Team – maintain an unwavering commitment to be innovative and responsible to the children and families we serve, regardless of the challenges thrown in front of them. It’s that spirit of innovation and commitment that makes me excited about the year ahead at Family Service & Guidance Center. Sincerely,
Brenda S. Mills, MSM, CPA Chief Executive Officer

Letter from the Board Chair-Elect The character and commitment of the staff and administrators at Family Service & Guidance Center has never been more evident than in these trying economic times. The agency not only held firm as a regional provider of outstanding children’s mental health services but FSGC continued to grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of clients and the evolving health care climate. FSGC has worked closely with Genoa Healthcare to open a full-service pharmacy on-site in the agency’s lobby, and four months after their grand opening, the feedback from our young clients’ parents and caregivers has been overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate this enhancement to FSGC’s high level of service, and they value the convenience of being able to immediately drop off a prescription and pick it up in just minutes. The professionalism and outstanding customer service provided by the Genoa pharmacy staff has also been tremendous. In addition, plans are in the works to open an exam room at FSGC in which a Physician’s Assistant and nurse could provide basic health care services. For example, a child who comes to a therapy appointment who isn’t feeling well could also see a health care professional onsite in minutes. Changes like these are not just enhancements to FSGC’s already-high level of service; they are also indicative of a shift in our nation’s health care mindset toward a more integrated model of care where different kinds of professionals are colocated in order to provide more coordinated care. FSGC continues to provide valuable leadership in working with Shawnee County partners to improve the health of those most in need and at risk. For example, FSGC is working closely with organizations like the Topeka Rescue Mission and Safe Streets to launch NET Reach. The program, housed in a recently closed elementary school building, would offer one of Topeka’s most at-risk neighborhoods a hub at which the community could get assistance and resources, and even use as a gathering place for meetings and events. Finally, FSCG will build on the momentum that Mental Health First Aid is gaining across the county. Increased attention and financial support at the Federal level is combining with a growing number of local individuals who have participated in this unique education effort. FSGC is working hard to engage as many Shawnee County citizens as possible in the class. You can also look forward to a Mental Health First Aid course focusing on the unique mental health needs of children and adolescents being offered later this year. The year ahead will certainly bring more challenges, but the Board of Directors is confident that the agency staff and leadership are more than up to the task of helping children and families right here in our community live happier, healthier lives.

Special Events The 6th annual Works of Heart Art Event and Auction
Topeka’s biggest and most unique arts-related event once again captured the imagination of our community. May’s FSGC Kids’ Art Show, July’s month-long art exhibit at the Fidelity Banks’ downtown location and the August First Friday ArtWalk all led up to a wonderful evening at the 6th annual Works of Heart Art Event and Auction. Over 350 art enthusiasts, community leaders and friends of FSGC attended and raised $88,000. Our incredibly talented Young Featured Artists, ranging in age from 3 to 16, were the stars of the evening. They met with guests in attendance to share what art means to them and, at the same time, put a young, hopeful face on mental illness. Works of Heart was a night that these gifted young people will always carry with them, and FSGC is proud to have played a part in their special night.
The 16th annual FSGC Day at the Outback
The 2012 edition of this popular lunchtime event was attended by nearly 400 people and raised nearly $16,500 through sponsorships, event ticket sales and ticket sales for the always-popular Basket Raffle. Very special thanks go to employees from Bank of America for volunteering! They played a major role in ensuring the success of FSGC Day at the Outback! Events like this can’t happen without enthusiastic volunteers like them.

Program Highlights We take great satisfaction at Family Service & Guidance Center in our reputation for identifying service gaps in our community and then playing a leadership role in bridging those gaps. The past year was one of major undertakings and good news regarding established programs. Here are some of the highlights:
Transitions to Adulthood
FSGC is proud to announce that Transitions to Adulthood has achieved fidelity as designated by the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare. This designation means that FSGC staff are using the model the way it was designed at KU and that it is proving effective in bringing about positive outcomes for clients. Transitions to Adulthood prepares youth aged 16 to 22 with the skills and abilities needed to be selfsufficient, productive members of our community. Making your way in the world as a young adult is difficult. Leaving home, going to school or work, finding a place to live, learning to budget – it can be a real challenge. But for young adults with mental illness, the transition can be overwhelming. Program staff help transition-aged youth assess and identify their strengths and break goals down into smaller, manageable steps.
Families Supporting Recovery
Nearly 2 million adolescents aged 12-17 are dependent on or abuse drugs or alcohol. Of those teens, two out of three also have a diagnosable mental illness. FSGC has launched an innovative program in which both the substance abuse and mental illness are treated at the same time for optimal results. Families Supporting Recovery is a new program for adolescents aged 12-18 and their families. This program is aimed at reducing drug and alcohol use as well as common co-occurring problems including depression, family conflict, poor school and work attendance and conduct problems. If the adolescent is engaged in substance abuse treatment, FSGC will work with their treatment provider to provide coordinated care. This integrated approach teaches youth critical skills for supporting their own recovery, including effective communication and preparation for adulthood, while also teaching the family how to encourage and support the child’s recovery.
Integrated Health Care
Family Service & Guidance Center is proud to partner with other local prominent community health care providers in the Shawnee County Healthcare Integration Project. The group is working closely to plan the local implementation of a client-centered integrated care model through which primary health and behavioral healthcare services would be provided to underserved and low-income individuals and families. The project goal is to develop a framework for implementing the initial stages in the development of integrated care teams, as well as increase access to primary and behavioral health care for patients. This planning project is partially funded by a generous gift from the Sunflower Foundation, Health Care for Kansans.

Transition-Aged Youth Program Transition-Aged Youth Program Achieves Milestone Growing up can be difficult, even under the best of circumstances. Throw the challenge of mental illness into the mix, and it gets even harder. That’s where Family Service & Guidance Center’s Transition-Aged Youth Program (TAY) can help. TAY is designed to help young adults aged 16-22 with mental illness attain the skills and information they need to find a place to live, get a job and live successfully and independently in the community. FSGC has worked in partnership with the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare for the past two years to develop a program of evidence-based practices that would help transition-aged youth prepare for moving out on their own. KU had developed a highly successful similar program for mentally ill adults, but it had never been used with severely emotionally disturbed youth. KU staff met with TAY staff and clients on a regular basis, discussing what worked and what didn’t. University staff reviewed treatment plans and session notes. More intensive fidelity reviews were conducted every six months. The goal was to ensure that FSGC’s new, innovative program was following program protocols and procedures the way KU had intended. FSGC recently announced that the program had achieved fidelity. Put another way, TAY received the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval from the University. “Achieving fidelity means that we are using the model of treatment the way KU wants us to and that it’s effective in bringing about positive outcomes for our clients,” Sarah Lyon, LMFT, TAY Program Coordinator said. TAY is a strengths-based program. FSGC program staff work closely with their young clients to assess their strengths, past strengths and goals. They work together to break the goals down into manageable action steps and determine how the client can achieve the steps, based on their current strengths and strengths they’ve used in the past to get to where they are today. Lyon gave an example. “If a client’s goal is to move into an apartment, they may not realize that taking the action step of learning to drive means that they can get a job and start making money toward getting their own apartment. “Past strengths are important, too. If a client was close with a teacher but a year later, they’re struggling in class with a new teacher, they can still go back to the old teacher and utilize that positive relationship and ask for help.” Young adults in the Transition-Aged Youth Program have a broad range of services available to them, including individual therapy, case management, psychiatric services and an educational Independent Living Skills group to teach transitionaged youth skills they need to live independently and productively. In addition, specialty groups have started based on the stated needs of the group. “Teens on the Town” gives clients the opportunity to go on group outings to practice a variety of social skills. “Girls Club” focused on unique challenges that young women face as they try to become more independent. The University of Kansas – which has provided countless hours of consultation and technical assistance at no charge – will continue to work with FSGC and the Transition-Aged Youth Program to ensure that fidelity is maintained and that the program continues to provide mentally ill young adults in our community with the skills and information they need to live happy, healthy, self-sufficient lives.
