2009-10 Annual Report - Mental Health Partners

We are pleased to present the Annual Report
for Mental Health Partners for fiscal year
2009-10. You may have noticed from the
cover that our name has changed. Effective
in December of 2010, the Board of Directors
announced that our organization is now doing
business as Mental Health Partners.
The name Mental Health Partners reflects
an identity that is clear and compelling in
representing who we are. Partnership is a
powerful concept that describes a core value
of our organization and a strong guiding
principle. It begins with our dedication to
partnership with clients and families to support
the goals of recovery, self-sufficiency and full
participation in the community in a variety of
roles. It extends to partnership with other health
care and human services providers, with the
criminal justice system, and with community
and state funders to provide integrated services
that reflect both excellence in outcomes and
wise stewardship of resources. And, finally, the
partnerships within our organization linking
staff, teams and departments are absolutely
essential to accomplishing our mission.
As partners, supporters, and colleagues in
our organization and the safety net system
in Colorado, we hope you join us in our
excitement as we move forward as Mental
Health Partners with the opportunities and
challenges facing all of us.

From the CEO and Chair, Board of Directors
Mental Health Partners has always been a special place to work because of the strength of our mission, the
commitment and compassion of our staff, our Directors and our Trustees, and the unparalleled support of our
community partners and stakeholders. As we have been in the midst of transforming Mental Health Partners
over the past year, we have been more excited and privileged than ever to lead this organization.
Five years ago we committed to a transformation process that would align our commitment to excellence,
to access to mental health services for those who need them, and to partnership with other human service
and safety net providers with a focus on efficiency and wise stewardship of resources. Our transformation
efforts are guided by a belief in the capacity of each individual to recover from mental illness and to have a
meaningful life in the community and by our recognition that evidence-based, best practices are the pathway
to both excellence and efficiency. We are also addressing health disparities in the vulnerable populations in
our community through our integrated health programs, bringing mental health care to community health
centers and connecting our clients at Mental Health Partners to primary care providers, coordinating mental
and physical health care in both settings and focusing on the whole person. We are working to bring physical
health care into our offices to further ensure access to physical health care for our clients. In recognition of the
25 year reduced life expectancy for adults with serious mental illness, we have signed on to the national 10 by
10 Wellness Campaign committed to reducing this tragic disparity by 10 years in 10 years. We have seen too
many of our clients die prematurely from preventable physical health problems. Over the past year, our staff
and clients have been dedicated to evaluating, redesigning and implementing new services, roles and physical
spaces that will support and empower our clients in recapturing hope and finding their path to recovery.
We are working to consolidate our transformed adult recovery services in a new facility that will also house
our expanded wellness services in a Wellness Education Center. Our vision for the Wellness Education Center
is that it will provide wellness education and supports for the broader community of individuals and families
that we serve, ensuring that our community has access to the skills that support mental health and wellness.
Our thoughtfully designed facility, created with our redesigned services as a template, will enhance our ability
to meet the growing need for mental health services in our community. We are confident that our community
will look to it with pride.
Each of our partners—our clients, our staff, our community, and you —plays a key role in our transformation
and in the strength of our organization. Working together, we will accomplish great things.

A new state-of-the-art facility:
The Wellness Education Center in Longmont
MHP is renovating an existing building to create a facility perfectly suited to the new Journeys
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program and the Wellness Education Program, opening in December 2010.
Features include:
• A large community room with a central fireplace that facilitates clients interacting and
supporting one another, as well as working towards recovery with staff in an open
environment free from stigma and judgment
• Computer kiosks for clients to search for employment and housing opportunities,
as well as information on their own treatment or illness
• A large classroom that serves as a community education and wellness center offering
workshops, meetings and classes
• A yard providing a space for exercise and informal interaction
• A community kitchen that helps to teach clients self-sufficiency and healthy living through
cooking and nutrition classes
• A community garden with large, raised planting beds for clients to learn how to grow
and cultivate fresh fruits and vegetables
• An outdoor ceremonial garden where clients and staff can reflect on hopes and goals and
celebrate milestones in recovery.
MHP is incorporating client
feedback into the planning for the
Journeys program and the design
of the facility. The result will be a
state-of-the-art facility that merges
the best practices in mental health
treatment with the best design
practices in the industry.

Mental Health Partners: A Provider of Choice
Journey to a Culture of Recovery and Excellence
Mental Health Partners is dedicated to being the provider of choice for mental health and wellness services in
our community. We have been transforming our service delivery approach to create a culture of recovery and
excellence that infuses our clinical services, our support services, and our leadership.
Significant progress in our transformation was made in 2009 and 2010 with the redesign of our adult
programs to create a comprehensive continuum of care grounded in evidence-based practices and recovery.
The redesign emerged out of an inclusive change management process we call Organizational Excellence.
Recovery is not only possible,
it is probable
… because of the strength of the
human spirit and the amazing
resiliencies within every person.
Recovery in mental health is the
intentional, constant pursuit of
living life to its fullest.
It is the awakening and realization of
dreams through the process of healing
and the exercising of personal power
to secure a full and satisfying life.
More than 100 staff and clients led and participated in Organizational Excellence teams over a two-year
period, first working to research best practices and make recommendations for improvements to MHP adult
services. Then, teams planned and oversaw the implementation of our new programs, including:
• A new Wellness Education Center that provides classes for clients in skill development and will soon offer
a range of classes to the broader community
• Journeys, our Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program, is a best practice for adults with serious mental
illness. The program supports individuals in achieving their self-identified goals in areas such as living
independently in the community, managing symptoms, becoming employed, pursuing educational goals,
and improving their overall wellness
• Education and employment services, a program to support clients identifying and succeeding in their
education or work-related goals
• Outpatient services that are consistent with evidence-informed practices and provide episodic care to adults
needing therapy for a period of time
• A customer-friendly assessment team that welcomes and orients people to our services and seamlessly enrolls
them into the right services at MHP
• A customer-oriented Admission and Referral program that helps people who are seeking services to decide
if specialty mental health services are the right match for their goals or if they would be better served by
another community resource.
Another important component of the redesign was the addition of more Peer Support Specialist positions.
These positions are filled by people who have lived experience with mental illness and recovery and are highly
effective in helping our clients with their own journey of recovery.

Mental Health Partners
Transformation: Why Now?
We take pride in the excellent services we have provided to our clients and community for many years. As
our understanding of effective treatments grows and as rapid change is occurring in healthcare, we want to
remain on the leading edge of the transformation. Our transformation benefits our clients, our staff and our
community and partner agencies. Clients benefit through: a broader range of services that can better meet
their individual needs; increased partnering in the community to support clients’ full integration as members
of our community; and new opportunities, through the Wellness and Employment programs for example, to
promote learning and growth and instill hope. Staff benefit through clearer roles and more opportunities to
partner with clients to help them define and meet their goals. We also worked to improve our workplace by
increasing the ease of getting things done, even greater teamwork and systems support, as well as attention
to quality improvement, efficiency and customer service. MHP continues to offer many opportunities for
training staff in evidence-based practices and quality improvement approaches. Our community benefits from
our improved ability to reach all the people who need our services, through improved program evaluation and
outcome measurement, and by our focus on improving quality of life and life expectancy.
Leadership Academy: Building Strong Leaders
from Within and Planning for Succession
In 2009, Mental Health Partners launched its inaugural Leadership Academy, with 12 participants from all
levels of the organization. Candidates were chosen who understand and are dedicated to the field of mental
health and wellness, and who demonstrated strong potential to lead the organization to our vision, even with
the constant change that is a part of healthcare.
A culture of recovery and
excellence helps Mental Health
Partners advance our efforts to
create our own future, to be a
national leader in implementing
a compelling vision for
comprehensive, recovery-based
mental health and wellness
services. Through those efforts
MHP will continue to be the
organization that serves our
community and that clients
choose for their treatment.
Participants received training in many areas of leadership, including decision-making, change management,
project planning, team dynamics, setting and accomplishing goals and implementation planning. Applied
learning was an important component, with the Leadership Academy participants leading the Organizational
Excellence task forces. As has been demonstrated by the successful implementation of the new and redesigned
adult services programs, Leadership Academy participants were quite successful!

Peer Support Specialists
Mental Health Partners
Peer Support Specialists
As of now, there are two Peer Specialists in Boulder, Diane Ferguson and Patrick Rose. We have been
Peer Specialist for nearly four and a half years. Michael MacDonald and Kate Ingmundson work
with clients in Longmont.
We continue to co-lead the very successful Food for Thought group and very soon will start a
job club with our newly hired Employment Specialist. This group will address barriers to getting
employment. We have also been very busy working on displaying client art at various locations
including the main center in Boulder, Warner House, Maslin House, the Wellness Education Center
in Longmont and Soft Voices.
Patrick Rose and Diane Ferguson
Kate Ingmundson
Michael MacDonald
As Peer Specialists, we are advocates for clients on
multiple teams at Mental Health Partners. Some
activities include leading support groups, meeting
one on one, and assisting clients to appointments
— all while forming relationships and offering
hope.We have the experience in common with
clients and can relate in a special way that
other clinicians cannot.
page 6
We all are working with an increasing caseload of clients. Typically, we support clients in becoming
more comfortable in their community by going for coffee or engaging in other activities. The
purpose of meeting with clients is to help them with skill development to achieve their goals and
point them in the right direction. This might be taking them to Chinook, or it might be helping
them to understand their mental illness and strategies for living with a mental illness. Additionally,
we work to be good role models to clients; sometimes Patrick is referred to as the “big brother” by
the younger clients. We continue to lead a Men’s group in Broomfield, which has had a good group
of young men working on their recovery,
often going for outings to various
places. Additionally, Patrick runs two
Schizophrenia Anonymous groups that
are open to clients and to the public. We
have recently begun a hiking group as
well.
Our team has also worked on a series
of trainings for the Peer Specialist team,
which will be expanding with the opening
of the new Wellness Education Center in
Longmont.

Mental Health Partners
From the Executive Director
As mental health treatment practices continue to refine and improve, our Foundation
has continued to develop in support of MHP. With an economy that is beginning to
revive itself, we were pleased to offer more financial support this year than in years past.
This past year, we believe that we are in fact one of the first non-profits that started a
Young Professional Group with an advisory board. The mission of this organization is
twofold: to raise awareness and money for The Mental Health Foundation and to teach
this age group about philanthropy and board engagement. I would like to thank Sarah
Noe, one of our Trustees, for taking the lead on all of this work and for seeing this group
expand and grow. We have a wonderful group of twenty and thirty year olds (if only I
could remember those years!) who have really been inspiring and mission driven.
We have continued to grow our efforts in fundraising and have developed more
restricted, endowed funds in support of MHP teams. As you may know, our goal is to
have a restricted fund established for every team or program of MHP; we have improved
by increasing the number of funds that are established and can always continue to grow.
Please let me know if you would like a conversation about partnering with us in this
manner.
It is an honor to serve the Board of Trustees and work with them in accomplishing the
great work that the Foundation does. And thank you to all of you who are integral in
that work through your time, talent, and treasure. We could not support MHP without
all of you. Thank you!
Cordially,
Kitty L. deKieffer,
Foundation Executive Director

Our Mission

From the President
This year, the Board of Trustees continued to achieve our strategic objectives by strengthening
fundraising programs to offset the serious reductions in public funding for Mental Health Partners.
The Foundation granted $86,000 in funds to support Mental Health Partners, which included
organizational excellence training for staff, equipment and community garden expansion. This year
marked the fifth annual Dandelion Ball at the Folsom Field Stadium Club. We also hosted a cocktail
party and silent auction at the Boulder Country Club, and supported Beautiful Art for Beautiful
Minds art show, benefiting Chinook Clubhouse, at Macy’s Twenty Ninth Street in Boulder. As in
previous years, proceeds from these events benefited the Foundation endowment and Mental Health
Partners programs. Our state-of-the-art planned giving program has now been running effectively for
one year with promising results. Our restricted fund dollars have increased and expanded to support
even more programs. We are grateful to the dedication of our Foundation Trustees and the generosity
of our donors, who make it possible for us to achieve our goals.

Chinook Clubhouse
A community focusing on wellness, work and recovery.
Chinook Clubhouse is a vocational and social rehabilitation program of Mental Health Partners
with the mission “To provide a warm, inclusive community with the goal of encouraging adults
with mental illness to proceed at their own pace toward recovery and independence, using their
unique strengths, talents and abilities. Through a partnership among staff, clubhouse members, and
volunteers, we create opportunities for volunteering, paid employment, education, and social and
wellness activities.”
Over 250 members and staff of Chinook Clubhouse work side-by-side to operate a six-day a week
program with an average of 35 members per weekday and serving up to 48 people for lunch. The
operations of the Clubhouse are not possible without the collective involvement and dedication
of the members, staff, and advisory board as well as the financial support of generous Clubhouse
sponsors, friends, and Mental Health Partners.
Within the Chinook Clubhouse there are three units: an administrative unit, a kitchen unit and a
vocational unit. Each time a person attends the program, they have many opportunities and options
to engage in areas of interest at their own pace and in line with their personal goals. Some people
experience profound difficulties and simply being present is a huge first step in their recovery.
Others build confidence and skills while participating in the various units. Many develop social
skills and form friendships or acquaintances which can sometimes last a lifetime. Still others pursue
community volunteer work or employment. Often long-time members come back and encourage
other members as well as offer support in the ongoing operations of the Clubhouse. Members may
contribute one discrete task such as pealing boiled eggs in the kitchen unit, or they may learn a set
of skills and tasks that lead to experience in a vocational role such as a prep-cook, a server, a cashier,
a graphic artist, a journalist/reporter, an office assistant or a receptionist, and many more. People
can work on their personal health and wellness by participating in various activities such as walking
or art projects, or the myriad of social activities that are offered through a social committee and
the generous donations of community members for ski trips, museum trips etc. Finally, we all have
opportunities to learn to negotiate with one another, build productive work habits, be a good friend
or colleague, help each other through hard times and celebrate with each other in the good times.

Employment
The Vocational Unit of Chinook Clubhouse once again excelled in providing employment
opportunities to members affected by mental illness. In fiscal year 2010 we supported 86 members
in community employment. There were 89 job placements with the following distribution: 21 in
Independent Employment; 45 in Supported Employment; 15 in Transitional Employment; and 8 in
Group Site Placements. Similar numbers were attained for the 2009 fiscal year.
Our employment program facilitates competitive work in integrated (as opposed to sheltered) work
settings for those members for whom competitive employment has not traditionally occurred, and who,
because of the nature and severity of their disability, need ongoing support services in order to perform
and/or maintain their job. Supported employment provides services to clubhouse members such as
job development, job seeking skills training, job coaching and advocacy with employers. Benefits
to employers are that they get thoroughly screened applicants, follow-up services by our staff for the
duration of the member’s employment, and sometimes eligibility for tax incentives or training subsidies.

Chinook Clubhouse made it a program priority this year to increase Clubhouse membership,
thereby increasing the opportunities for clients of Mental Health Partners to participate in supported
employment services. We were able to maintain our employment numbers during the transition of
our vocational staff, and our outcome goals for job placements for our contract with the Colorado
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation were successfully met.

Chinook Clubhouse
One Member’s Story
Steve Balog, also known as “Mad Dog”, says he was in the Marine Corp, served in Vietnam, is a
father, was a Truck Driver for 15 years, and is currently a dedicated work crew member at Chinook
Clubhouse. Steve says “it’s very important to make sure you have somewhere to go and something to
do. Clubhouse is a place I always know I can go and have something to do. Even if it is small I can
do something and I know someone”.
Steve was in the Fort Logan psychiatric hospital for a long time. He says he had to make a lot of
changes to his “new life” adapting to living with a mental illness. He says someone at Warner House
gave him tokens to go to the Chinook Clubhouse and he has now been coming for four years. He
likes the Clubhouse because “there is no pressure but there are various things that you can do if you
want to take advantage of them such as help out or go to a social event”. He smiles as he remembers
visiting the King Tut museum and the Imax:Titanic. Steve says he worked at WAT Business Services
in a transitional employment capacity; during that time, he was struggling but they accepted him
and gave him a chance. He said he “stopped taking meds, became symptomatic, felt like a slug, and
gained a lot of weight”. But he “decided to get back into better habits”, and although he didn’t want
to have to take medications, he realized they were necessary. He says he started “taking his meds,
eating better and got clean and sober”. He keeps a picture in his wallet when he was not doing well
to remind him to take care of himself. He says he is alone and that is why the clubhouse is really
helpful. He says “they are really decent people and it helps me feel less alone. When the fear gets
really tough then I know where to go.” Steve has been on the work crew for three years. He says this
“makes me go somewhere. It makes me get out and get busy. You don’t want to let people down that
you work with and Cameron encourages me to show up.”
Steve “Mad Dog” Balog
Not long ago, Steve found out he has Veteran’s Assistance benefits and was nervous about changing
his care. He says he was supported in this transition by many MHP staff, and he added with
confidence “once a Clubhouse Member, always a Clubhouse Member” stating that this fact helped
him a lot with his successful transition. He says with gusto “Everyone was pulling for me!” Steve
ends our talk by saying “My life would be very empty without the Clubhouse. No matter what, I
have a place to go; not necessarily that I’m buddies with everyone, but I can see people. This helps
with my mental well-being, accessing people familiar with what I’m going through, and sharing a
word or two with one another.” When we finished talking he agreed to share his story with all of you
and to share his smile. He is not alone!

Beautiful Art for Beautiful Minds
In May 2010, Chinook Clubhouse presented its seventh annual Beautiful Art for Beautiful Minds
(“BABM”) benefit. The Presenting Sponsor, Macy’s Twenty Ninth Street in Boulder, generously
hosted the event in their lovely store. What a thrill it was to see all the wonderful art and auction
items displayed inside Macy’s as they graciously cleared away their merchandise, set up a band stage,
a staging kitchen and art displays, transforming the space into a lovely art and wine event. Holly
and the Husbands performed fabulously, and the crowd listened to a moving and inspiring story
from a Clubhouse member relaying his experience with mental illness and substance use disorder.
Greeted by a long red carpet, guests found themselves enveloped in art and wall hangings from
many of Boulder’s best-known artists as well as auction items including a week in Vail, spa packages,
stunning jewelry and an excellent collection of wines. The delicious food was compliments of some
of Boulder’s finest restaurants, Twenty Ninth Street provided valet parking and LiquorMart donated
the spirits. We are indebted to the Boulder artist community and other contributors who donate
their pieces and services to assist Chinook Clubhouse in serving the mental health community. A
delightful and most successful event, we are grateful to Macy’s and our sponsors, artists, restaurants,
donors and guests for their help in raising awareness of our program as well as much needed revenue
for the Clubhouse.

The hallmarks of recovery are
hope, the belief that we are
not defined by our illness,
and that we can move beyond
managing symptoms and
develop meaningful roles.
