Mary's Path 2023 - 2024 Annual Report

Page 1


Dear Friends of Mary’s Path,

Our hearts are full as we reflect on the past year, with 36 teen moms and 19 babies who called Mary’s Path home. We celebrated high school graduations, new jobs, and college enrollments—and many special baby milestones, including first steps, first teeth, and first words. We thank our supporters for making our mission and work possible.

More than 90% of our teen moms are survivors of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC), commonly referred to as child sex trafficking. The resulting trauma that arises from CSEC victimization cannot be addressed by foster care or conventional transitional housing. In fact, there are only four facilities in California with the capacity and expertise to house and support these victimized teen moms.

Each teen mom we serve is offered a comprehensive continuum of trauma-informed, healing-centered care. This includes Intensive Care Coordination, Intensive Home-Based Services, Individual Psychotherapy, and Crisis Intervention. All therapeutic services are designed to facilitate recovery as each teen mom proceeds on her journey to greater independence and self-sufficiency. Support services and case management complement therapies to ensure life skills development, encourage high school graduation, and facilitate job readiness. On-site childcare provides quality care for the babies and parenting education to help each teen learn to be a good mother.

We are especially proud of our After-Care Program, which provides support services for teen moms when they exit Mary’s Path. To help prepare them for this important step, each individual completes an Independent Living Plan in partnership with their Mary’s Path case manager and County social worker. Mary’s Path provides targeted After-Care services to ensure moms and babies can connect with medical and dental care, mental health services, education and job search support, and other resources. As a result of this comprehensive approach, most teen moms who remain connected with After-Care services demonstrate tremendous progress in their independent living situations. Please see page 8 to learn more about After-Care.

Our work is far from over. CSEC activity continues to grow in Orange County and the surrounding Southern California region. Young girls—some no more than 12-years-old—continue to be victimized. It has been my honor and privilege this year to help raise the visibility of this criminal epidemic through speaking engagements throughout the County, local radio interviews, and op-ed pieces in local news. I invite you to join me in advocating for these young teens, who continue to be exploited without a voice of their own.

Together, we can fulfill our mission to empower vulnerable teen mothers in foster care and their babies to create lives of dignity, hope, and self-sufficiency. Together, we can achieve our vision that these teen moms become loving, caring mothers and raise happy, healthy children. Together, we will continue to change two lives at a time.

In Gratitude,

Dear Mary’s Path Community,

In my 3rd term serving as Chair to our distinguished Mary’s Path Board of Directors, I am proud of the progress we are making carrying out our goal of Changing Lives, Two at a Time. As we reflect on the accomplishments of this past year, I am filled with gratitude for everyone whose talents and gifts make such a remarkable impact in the lives of our teen moms and their babies.

We are blessed to have a team of professionals who are dedicated to our mission and work tirelessly to care for the young mothers we serve at Mary’s Path. From trauma informed mental health services and education to parenting skills, we take a holistic approach to serving and healing.

Beyond our incredible staff, I want to thank the hundreds of volunteers who give of their time, talent, and treasure to make Mary’s Path an organization that gives hope and guidance to teen moms. Our friends, volunteers and supporters include community leaders in law enforcement, business, legal professionals, the arts, and many churches. Many of you have included Mary’s Path in your estate plans, enrolled in monthly giving, or volunteer to work in our garden, support holiday decorating and events, or use your talents to provide goods and services to Mary’s Path. You are in our constant thoughts and prayers, and we are forever grateful.

In 2025, we celebrate our 40th Anniversary, which means some of the girls that we served in those early days are likely grandmothers now. Because of you, perhaps those babies are now thriving and contributing members of their communities. Because of you, they were given opportunities their mothers did not have. Because of you, Mary’s Path is poised to continue to have a remarkable impact on Two Lives. You have my deepest gratitude.

With my blessings, appreciation, and support,

Mission

Believing in the value of every life, Mary’s Path empowers vulnerable teen mothers in foster care and their babies to create lives of dignity, hope and self-sufficiency.

Vision

Teen moms in foster care become loving, caring mothers and raise happy, healthy children.

Values

Mary’s Path changes two lives at a time by supporting new families through their journey to a hopeful future by allowing the following values to guide our work:

• The past does not define us.

Guiding Principle

The moms and babies we serve always come first. We are guided by what serves them best.

A Story of Hope

Like many Southern California youth in crisis, when Kris entered the foster system, she was scared, unsupported, and alone.

The child of a young mother who’d struggled with drug use, Kris* experienced a difficult upbringing, including related cognitive disabilities. Now, at just 16, Kris was kicked out of her most recent foster home. Seven months pregnant, she had nothing. Meanwhile, her biological siblings—the only family she had left—had relocated to another state with her previous foster family, leaving Kris behind.

Thankfully, young mothers-to-be like Kris can come home again to Mary’s Path.

When she came to Mary’s Path, Kris needed comprehensive help—both as a mother-to-be and a young adult. Kris faced challenges too big to tackle alone, needing guidance to address education, life skills, and of course maternal training.

Kris gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Brandon, not long after she arrived at Mary’s Path, with a Mary’s Path staff member supporting her during the birthing process. Mary’s Path’s case managers and therapists then developed a comprehensive service plan for Kris that included trauma-informed counseling, life skills, parenting education, childcare, and academic support.

Over time, Kris began to heal from her trauma through therapy, secure in the knowledge that she and Brandon had a safe, nurturing home. She learned how to cook and clean and attained other life skills to maintain a healthy living environment for her small family. Kris also learned about child development and how to care for her son. And she worked exceptionally hard and eventually completed high school, with Mary’s Path’s staff enthusiastically cheering her on at the graduation ceremony.

Not long after Brandon turned two, Kris exited Mary’s Path with assistance from their AfterCare staff, including the shift to a Transitional Housing Program (THP). A THP provides a safe independent living environment, with case management to provide supportive services. Mary’s Path’s After-Care staff continued to provide services for Kris for six months in coordination with THP case managers, with Kris eventually transitioning completely to THP services.

Coming full circle, Kris has since reconnected with her biological mother, who is making progress in putting her own life back together. And of course, Kris keeps in touch with her Mary’s Path family, who proudly watch as she continues to grow and flourish, the independent mother of a healthy, wonderful young son.

Program Spotlight: After-Care

Care That Lasts

When teen moms and mothers-to-be arrive at Mary’s Path, it’s the first step in a journey to create healthy, happy families.

A nationally accredited Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP), Mary’s Path houses pregnant and parenting teens in the foster care system, providing roughly 40 teen moms and 20 babies each year with safe housing and trauma-informed therapy and supportive services. But some depart sooner—even as early as six months. Regardless, the challenge is always to ensure each exit is planned, so that staff can find them safe housing and ensure these mothers and babies have the resources they need to live independently. Upon discharge, most require follow-up to ensure their care plans stay on track. This is where Mary’s Path’s After-Care comes in.

A critical piece of our comprehensive program, After-Care services help ensure successful transitions for our residents into independent living. Mary’s Path’s case managers work collaboratively with each teen mom and their county social workers to complete an Independent Living Plan and to find safe, long-term, affordable housing.

When these teen moms leave Mary’s Path, ongoing case management and services are provided for up to six months to continue to support them in their transition and to provide any needed referrals to our partner agencies in healthcare, housing, and other assistance areas. Each year, approximately 10 teen moms successfully transition out of Mary’s Path through After-Care.

“The vast majority of our teen moms are survivors of sex trafficking, and as time goes on, many find their way back to the life they knew before,” says Kelli Strickland, LCSW, Mary’s Path Director of After-Care. “The After-Care program gives each departing resident a roadmap forward to mitigate this risk, to make sure they don’t fall back in with the traffickers.”

After-Care at Mary’s Path takes an innovative approach. Unlike other programs working with teen moms, Mary Path commits to staying with our moms for up to one year with a full team providing a continuum of care and later providing services as needed to assist our moms to stay safe and housed with their children. We often use ground-level outreach to stay connected or reconnect with our teen moms. Using local knowledge of trafficking hubs and shelters, and through our relationships with community partners, our case managers can link critical services to these teen moms wherever they are, whether in a shelter, motel, or in the streets.

Strickland recalls an 18-year-old resident, then pregnant with her second child, who became electively homeless following an unplanned discharge from the program. Rather than abandoning her cause, Mary’s Path’s After-Care program took a gentle approach—keeping in touch over several months, meeting with her in the community to discuss ongoing services. Eventually, Mary’s Path was able to reconnect her to support services, including neonatal care and a three-year housing voucher.

“These teen moms are facing monumental challenges, so we’re proud of them for their willingness to stay connected and strive for a better life,” says Strickland. “Engagement is so important, and this program lets us meet them where they are.”

Staff Spotlight: Sandra Barela

As Mary’s Path’s Clinical Director and Head of Service, Sandra Barela, MS, LMFT knows a thing or two about meeting the unique needs of teen moms and their babies. Her journey toward this role began decades ago— with her own difficult experience as an unsupported teen mom.

Barela came to Mary’s Path in 2021 with a wealth of experience. But the road stretching between that scared teen mom and the confident clinical professional wasn’t an easy one.

After dropping out of high school as a teen mom and later losing her child’s father to gang violence, Barela was motivated to make a better life for herself and her baby. With hard work, she eventually completed high school—not her GED—at 21 and enrolled in community college. After that, she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology and counseling, respectively.

As her journey continued to unfold, Barela realized she had the lived experience and educational training to help other young mothers improve their futures. With the help of education and social support, Barela’s future seemed so much more open than that frightened young mom could ever have imagined.

“My passion for helping young mothers comes from my own experience,” says Barela. “I clearly remember how difficult it was for me, and I want to be the helping hand for young women that I needed back in the day.”

Barela took the first step in her storied career in 1999, working with young mothers at Orangewood Children’s Home in Orange, California. For the next 10 years, she worked for various like-minded Orange County organizations, including as a child abuse investigator assisting the Costa Mesa Police Department. Throughout her broad-ranging experience, she discovered that her life’s mission was to help teen mothers and mothers-to-be.

As fate would have it, Barela had also been an intern at Mary’s Path during that time and was enthusiastic about their work. Little did she know things would come full circle years later.

After amassing more than two decades of experience in Child Protective Services and as an evidence-based clinical therapist, in 2021 Barela applied for and got the job to lead Mary’s Path’s clinical programming, realizing her true passion.

In that role, Barela oversees the therapeutic support services offered for residents of Mary’s Path and ensures that both human and financial resources are allocated appropriately to facilitate the success of the program. She also assists with identifying additional community resources that may be leveraged for enhanced services.

For Barela, it all boils down to ensuring that the teen moms coming into Mary’s Path have the opportunity and resources to create happy, healthy families.

“Breaking generational cycles of trauma results in better lives for mothers and their children,” she says. “The foster teen moms we support at Mary’s Path aren’t just residents. They become family, even after they transition to independent motherhood.”
