NEW PROGRAMS
★ TEEN COURT
Diversion program which reduces recidivism by
allowing juveniles to receive consequences for their
criminal actions through “peer court” without entering
the formal juvenile court system and probation.
Juvenile volunteers serve as the attorneys and jury
for teen court. Local attorneys act as volunteer
“judges”.
★ STOPLIFTERS
Diversion program which reduces recidivism through
a one-time educational session designed for first time
shoplifting offenders while keeping them from
entering the formal juvenile courts system and
probation. Youth and their parents are required to
attend.
★ TRANSPARENTING
This is an educational program designed to teach
effective “co-parenting” during the transitions of
divorce or separation. It stresses the critical role
parents play in their children’s ability to make a
healthy adjustment to changes surrounding divorce.
★ SEASONS
Seasons is an educational program designed to help
children cope with their parents’ divorce or
separation. Seasons provides a safe atmosphere
where children may realize they are not alone, it’s not
their fault, and there is hope for the future. For
children ages 6-17.

ways, to develop peer relationships that foster social
inclusion and avoidance of bullying and to exhibit
better classroom behavior.
★ JUNIOR MENTAL HEALTH
The goal of Junior Mental Health is to promote good
mental health through prevention education and,
when possible, community service. Students in
grades 6-12 in public schools are given weekly
education to help avoid alcohol, tobacco and other
drugs, to develop good coping skills, and to have
healthy relationships in their lives.
★ AIM
Aim is a series of anger management groups for
youths ages 9-17. Teaches youth how to handle
anger without resorting to aggression.
★ DEVELOPING CAPABLE PEOPLE
Parenting and life skills classes and support.
Research has found that there are three perceptions
and four life skills that determine how effectively
people deal with life and its challenges. This class
teaches parents how to best utilize these when
raising their children.
★ YOUTH DIVERSION PROGRAM
Court ordered services provided to adjudicated youth
to divert from probation and prevent DOC placement.
Services include case management and therapeutic
groups combined with electronic monitoring.

PHILLIPS,
PRESIDENT/CEO
A
child at Bashor remarked, “I can tell you guys care for me
because you keep me.” When asked what he meant, the child said his
parents, relatives, foster homes, and other residential programs “kicked me
out when I did stuff that was wrong.” He said “but you guys haven’t kicked
me out even after I did stuff.”
When I was a young boy I used to wonder about many different things,
but I never wondered whether my parents cared for me. I used to look at
the complicated world around me and questioned so much, but I never
questioned my parents’ love. There were so many things that as a child I
could not understand. I was able to deal with the world of confusion largely
because I was comforted by the certainty that no matter what happened, my
parents would always be there for me.
Take a moment to imagine what it would be like to be a child growing
up while continually wondering if anyone – I mean anyone – truly cares
about you. Think about a child’s fragile young life filled with that kind of
loneliness and desperation. Then consider the emotions and thoughts of this
child as they begin to wonder if they have somehow brought this misery
upon themselves. Is it any surprise children struggle in such circumstances?
Bashor Children’s Home remains unwavering in its commitment to be
there for children to provide them the comforting and nurturing support
every child needs, every child craves, and every single child deserves. Some
of the children who come to Bashor are admittedly quite challenging. Years
of strain are vented through their attitudes and behaviors, but when you
look past the anger you get a glimpse of the child that was meant to be. You
see the child within come to life as they realize someone does care, someone
won’t give up, and someone believes in them.
Bashor continues to establish new programs and services to reach out to
more children in ways we could only imagine just a few years ago. Bashor
now provides prevention services in public schools, services to parents and
children going through divorce, and services to children being diverted
from the juvenile justice system. We are finding new ways to get more
children and families the support they need to ensure that each child grows
with the assurance of knowing they are unconditionally cared for.
At Bashor we don’t say goodbye to a child we have served. No, we
don’t keep children here forever, but Bashor Children’s Home will be here
for them for as long as we are needed. This home will be here for these
children thanks to you. Our supporters make our promise to children
possible. Our supporters tell children someone does care. Thank you.

Mental Health of America Joins Bashor
In July of 2009 Bashor Children’s Home brought Mental Health America of
Michiana (MHA) into our family of services. This was a result of funding cuts
to MHA and the desire of Bashor to work collaboratively with other agencies
to ensure the continuation of preventative programs for children and their
families. Our commitment to helping sustain these vital services has led to the
recent creation of the community based services department at Bashor. This
has given way to many new partnerships and programs offered to the
community (see p age 11 fo r a full list). Bashor continues to look for ways to
collaborate with other agencies to provide the best services for children, while
making the best use of benevolent funds available in the community to take
on these challenges.
