Summer 2012
Celebrating Recover y through Ar t
The eighth annual “Art of Recovery”
Exhibit opening on May 4, 2012 coincided with First Fridays in downtown Fredericksburg. On display at
The PONSHOP Studio and Gallery,
during Mental Health Month, the exhibit featured the original artwork of
adults with mental health challenges.
According to show organizer Helen
Conley, “The exhibit once again had
a record number of submissions.
The quality of the work on display
gets better each year. I lead an art
group at Kenmore Club and enjoy
working with my fellow members. It’s
wonderful to see their talent and
confidence grow.” In addition to
being an artist, Ms. Conley is a Kenmore Club member and Peer Specialist with the Rappahannock Area
Community Services Board.
The Art of Recovery provides a
forum for artists living with mental
illness to gain confidence in their
abilities, address misconceptions
surrounding mental illness, and experience community support.
This year a record number
of entries were received
from around the state. The
170 submissions from 40
artists were narrowed down
to 50 pieces being displayed. This was the second
consecutive year the exhibit
was hosted by The PONSHOP. A total of 17 pieces
sold during the month of
May.
The exhibit then travelled to
The Walkerton Tavern in
Henrico as part of the first
annual Mountain Road Art
Exhibit June 2-20, 2012.
More than 100 people attended two receptions. This
is the third consecutive year Artist Sandy Pappas with her untitled diptych

“Climbing the Ladder to Recover y”
Spotsylvania County resident Tracy
Ringquist said having her handmade
quilt included in the 2011 Art of Recovery exhibit was a wonderful experience and a boost to her selfesteem. The quilt, representing the
Dissociative Identity Disorder Awareness Ribbon, was the first one she
ever made.
For the 2012 exhibit, Ms. Ringquist
submitted “Climbing the Ladder to
Recovery.” A mixed media piece, it
details her personal journey from the
depts of depression to her dreams
for her recovery.
Following a 25-day hospitalization,
Ms. Ringquist described herself as
being at rock bottom, “in the black
abyss of depression.” While deep
Summer 2012
down she knew she would eventually
come out of the depression, Ms.
Ringquist felt like she was “trying to
climb a broken ladder, one whose
rungs were too far apart and could
not support her weight.”
Ms. Ringquist knows that gradually
she will figure out how to successfully climb the ladder. As she climbs
higher, the depression will lift. Ms.
Ringquist also knows that, although
it may take time, her thoughts will improve and she will return to the sunshine of recovery. In her piece, the
ladder continues into the sparkling
night sky that contains her personal
hopes and dreams. Phrases are written throughout the piece that describe how Ms. Ringquist feels in
each stage of her journey.

scholarships to allow participants without funding the opportunity to attend RAAI. According to Jim Gillespie, RACSB
Community Support Services Coordinator, “The opportunity
to attend a quality day support program like RAAI is important to individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. Participants enjoy valuable social, recreational, and
vocational activities that take place throughout our community.”

RAAI Par ticipants Hosts Puzzle Ar t Show
How long does it take you to put together a 500-piece puzzle? Or a
1,000-piece? For participants at
Rappahannock Adult Activities’ King
George County site, it’s all in a days’
work.
The individuals served at that site
have a passion for puzzles. Some
prefer to work individually while others complete the giant jigsaws in
teams. Their hard work from the
past three months was recently displayed that the Marie O. Kunlo Building to the delight of the participants
and their guests.
Participants showed off their talents
to family members, fellow RAAI participants, Kenmore Club members,
and RACSB staff members as part
of an open house on May 14, 2012.
More than 70 puzzles were completed, glued, and hung for display.
Two of their puzzle leaders, Dennis
and Norma Jean, assembled a 5006
piece puzzle in
just a couple
hours. They remained focused on their
Thomas Kincaid project despite a steady
stream of visitors and admirers.
Approximately
45 guests visited the day support site in support
of the exhibit.
Dennis has the visual skills to find
those hard pieces on the first try.
Norma Jean is constantly rotating
the individual pieces and moving
them across the space until finding
the correct spot. They both like the
challenge of landscapes and puzzles with a large number of pieces.

Spotlight: Healthy Families Rappahannock Area
Healthy Families Rappahannock
Area (HFRA) is a home-visiting
program for first-time parents in
Planning District 16. HFRA provides parenting education, support,
and linkage to community resources for vulnerable children and
families in our community. Firsttime parents are provided with information and support to enable
them to provide a healthy home environment and promote positive
health and educational outcomes
for their child(ren).
By identifying parents early in the
stages of childrearing before violence occurs and providing them
with home visitation services, HFRA
believes mothers and fathers will
have the ability to positively parent
and care for their child, resulting in a
socially, emotionally, and physically
healthy child while promoting selfempowerment and independence
for the entire family.
HFRA benefits the community by
providing support to the most vulnerable children and families. Some
of the proven benefits of Healthy
Families include:
• Families who participate in
Healthy Families are more likely
to receive consistent prenatal
care and more likely to deliver
healthy, full-term babies.
• Families who participate in
Healthy Families are more likely
to have a “medical home” for their
child, meaning that they are receiving consistent and timely
medical care. Children are more
likely to receive well-child and
preventive care and more likely
to complete immunizations.
• For the past decade, there have
been no founded cases of child
abuse or neglect among families
who received at least 12 months
of HFRA home visiting services.
This is particularly impressive
when remembering that HFRA
focuses on those families identiSummer 2012
tal health providers, physicians,
shelters, and schools. Families who
are interested in the program are
also welcome to self-refer and many
referrals come from current or previous program participants, who tell
friends or family members about the
program.

fied as being the most at-risk for
abuse or neglect.
• Children in HFRA participate in
regular developmental screenings. Potential developmental
delays can be identified early and
families can be referred to Early
Intervention or Child Find services.
• Healthy births, healthy children,
and healthy families mean that
children are ready for success
when they enter school.
HFRA targets first-time parents or
expectant parents with risk factors
for child abuse or neglect. Families
are recruited through community
partners (including Mary Washington Healthcare, Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, and Project
LINK at the Rappahannock Area
District Health Departments) with a
self-administered screen.
The screening process looks for adverse risk factors such as negative
childhood experiences that involve
abuse of any type, destructive
lifestyle behaviors and mental health
issues, lack of positive parenting
skills, poor coping and life skills,
lack of a support system, unrealistic
expectations of child development,
previous or current Child Protective
Services involvement, and negative
forms of discipline.
Referrals can also be made by Departments of Social Services, men-
Based upon the screening results,
families may be offered an in-home
assessment visit with a bilingual
Family Resource Specialist (English
- Spanish speaking). Families who
are not offered an assessment visit
receive written information about
community resources and parenting
supports. The assessment service
allows the Family Resource Specialist to communicate with the parents
about their strengths and needs.
Parents are also connected to community resources such as emergency services, mental health,
domestic violence resources, homeless shelters, financial assistance,
paternity and child support services,
counseling services, adult education, employment training and job
placement services, life skill seminars, as well as marriage and relationship enrichment classes. During
this visit families also receive an automatic referral to the Parent Education - Infant Development Program.
In addition, they receive child development materials, hotline numbers
and free baby supplies whether or
not they choose to participate in the
home visiting program.
Families that are identified as being
able to benefit from additional support are offered home visitation. The
Family Support Worker helps to
teach problem-solving skills, create
a safe home environment, positive
parent-child interaction, and parenting skills. Each home visit involves
parent and child interaction activities
with toys, book sharing, handouts

Nearly 200 Free Car Seats Distributed
Healthy Families – Rappahannock
Area once again partnered with
GEICO, the Virginia Department of
Health’s Low-income Safety Seat
Distribution and Education program,
and Hilldrup Moving and Storage to
sponsor the fifth annual “Safety First
Regional Car Seat Campaign” on
May 19, 2012 at GEICO’s office.
Families with children receiving
Medicaid were eligible to receive a
free convertible or booster car seat
as well as training on proper car
seat use and installation assistance.
To receive a free car seat, parents
had to register in advance and bring
their child’s Medicaid card with them
to the event. Nearly 200 car seats
were distributed.
proximately 75% of car seats are improperly installed or children are improperly restrained. Child safety
seats reduce fatal injuries by 71% for
infants and 54% for toddlers.
Rappahannock Area Kids on the
Block performed for families while
they waited to have their seats installed.
According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 119,000 children under age
12 are injured in car crashes. Auto
accidents are the leading cause of
death for children in America. Ap-

and materials on health and development, and resource assistance.
Additional home visiting services include prevention of negative birth
outcomes (low birth weight, substance abuse, criminal activity, child
abuse and neglect); increasing parenting skills; assisting families in obtaining medical insurance;
encouraging healthy pregnancy
practices; encouraging immunization
and well-care visits; encouraging
use of a primary care physician;
childhood developmental screenings; and encouraging a safe home
environment. Families can participate in home visiting from the time
they find out they’re pregnant until
the child turns 5 years old or enters
school.
Healthy Families Virginia provides
the following statistics:
• Healthy Families has a positive
economic impact on the health
care costs of premature infants.
More than 12,000 babies are
born prematurely in Virginia
every year. The cost of one day of
medical care is approximately
$2,500 per child (or $30,000,000
8
per day for the state). A total of
91% of prenatal enrollees in
Healthy Families programs delivered babies of normal birth
weight. Locally, that rate is 89%.
The average cost of Healthy
Families home visiting services is
$3,800 per family per year.
• A total of 96% of all children
whose families participate in
Healthy Families are regularly
screened for developmental delays from their first year until their
families graduate from the program. Our local program
achieves 100%. All delays are
promptly referred for remedial
treatment and followed by
Healthy Families. Children from
these at -risk families enter
school ready to succeed.
• Healthy Families has been
proven to prevent child abuse
and neglect among the at-risk
families it serves. Last year, the
state rate of abuse/neglect was
0.07% among participating families while locally Healthy Families
Rappahannock Area had 0%.

RACSB Opens 11th Group Home
The Rappahannock Area
Community Services Board
(RACSB) began welcoming
residents into its eleventh
group home for adults with an
intellectual disability at the end
of June 2012.
This beautiful home, located in
the established Waverly Village
community in Spotsylvania
County, will be home to six
individuals. It is RACSBs fourth
community home in the county.
Spotsylvania County
Community group homes are 24hour staffed programs with
residents working or attending a
day support program. Residents are
assisted with daily living skills and
work to achieve personal goals. The
residents are active within their
local community with volunteering,
shopping, and recreational
activities.
Residential options like group
homes are important to individuals
with an intellectual disability and
their families. Group homes allow
individuals to remain in the
community, near their family and
friends, while gaining a level of
independence and receiving 24hour support.
homes, RACSB also offers
Supported Living
Arrangements that allow an
individual to live in housing of
their own with staff providing
support in the home. The
Sponsored Placement
Program matches individuals
with families who provide
room, board, and supervision
while teaching independent
living skills. RACSB currently
operates two Supervised
Apartment Programs that offer a
greater level of independence for
adults with an intellectual disability.
In addition to community group
RACSB broke ground in August
2012 on two Intermediate Care
Facilities for adults with an
intellectual disability. These four-bed
homes are similar to group homes
but provide a higher level of care for
individuals who may be more
medically fragile or require greater
support. The Lucas Street and
Ross Drive Intermediate Care
Facilities are located in the Thomas
Ross Subdivision in Spotsylvania
County.
years in the Air Force; John Sulder,
served three years in the Army;
Brian Justice, served three years in
the Army; and Mike McGuire,
served four years in the Navy during Vietnam and in the Reserves.
According to Mr. Sulder, “It meant a
lot for Will to recognize Kenmore
Club members who are veterans
and served our country. I’m proud of
my son who has served 16 years in
the Air Force.”
There currently are nearly 140
individuals seeking residential
services in our area.
Construction of this home was paid
for through a HUD Section 811
grant. A generous $20,000 grant
from KOVAR and the Knights of
Columbus helped to furnish the
home.

When Mr. Johnson returned to work
at the Kenmore Club in January
2012, he presented club members
with a framed American Flag that

H. Rex Holland Employee of the Quarter
The Rappahannock Area Community Services Board Employee of the
Month Program began in 2001. In
2005, it was named in honor of H.
Rex Holland, a former member of
the RACSB Board of Directors who
passed away in June 2005. Mr. Holland was a vocal supporter of programs to improve morale among
agency employees. In July 2011,
RACSB moved to an Employee of
the Quarter recognition program.
The Fiscal Year 2012 third quarter
award was presented to Stephen
Curtis, Galveston Road Group
Home Manager, on April 17, 2012.
According to his nomination, Mr.
Curtis has shown an incredible
amount of compassion towards the
individuals at both Ruffins Pond
Group Home and most recently at
the Galveston Road Group Home.
His work with a gentleman at Galveston Road Group Home, who has
had some serious issues adapting
to his new home, has been nothing
short of phenomenal. Running one
group home can be difficult enough,
but to take on the responsibility of
two programs shows an overwhelming dedication to the individuals we
serve.
Ruffins Pond Group Home recently
had their floors refinished and this
created the need for two the more
fragile individuals to have to sleep
away from their home. Mr. Curtis
took it upon himself to take these
gentlemen to a hotel for two nights.
Those men are still talking about the
great vacation they had with Mr.
Curtis.
Ruffins Pond Group Home recently
hired a new Manager and as expected, Mr. Curtis has gone above
and beyond to spend time working
with her to see that she has a successful transition into her new position. Mr. Curtis maintains an upbeat
personality and is always willing to
help everyone around him.
The Fiscal Year 2012 fourth quarter
award was presented to Pablo
Cuadrado, Residential Counselor,
Galveston Road Group Home, on
July 17, 2012.
Mr. Cuadrado has always been willing to assist the agency in any capacity, often working across multiple
programs to support the well-being
of individuals with an intellectual disability.
While working at Stonewall Estates
Group Home, he willingly assisted
both Day Support and the Galveston
Road Group Home to help a new
resident acclimate into the group
home. Mr. Cuadrado successfully
aided this individual in both programs for three weeks and then provided a well-written Support Review
which was included in the individual’s Behavioral Support Plan.
In addition, while working at the
Stonewall Estates Group home, Mr.
Cuadrado ensured that the group
home van was well maintained.
Mr. Cuadrado is always willing to be
cross-trained and has proved to be
a valuable asset wherever he works

mont Drive, and Galveston Road
Group Homes. He also recently volunteered to become certified as a
Therops Trainer.
Mr. Cuadrado is always willing to
help both management and his
peers. He assists with resident’s
doctor appointments and participates in resident’s annual vacations
trips. He is also very dependable
and is always ready to cover shifts
when someone calls out. He has
even served as the emergency oncall person during winter snow
storms. Mr. Cuadrado is every mindful of the safety of the residents as
well as the principles of PersonCentered Thinking.
Mr. Cuadrado approaches his job
with enthusiasm. He is highly motivated and is always willing to share
his ideas and suggestions with
everyone around him. Mr. Cuadrado
is an asset to any group home as
well as RACSB. He makes any shift
that he works fun, and is always
mindful of the feelings of the residents and his coworkers. Mr.
Cuadrado is tactful, knowledgeable
of group homes, and brings a wealth
of business acumen and human
services experiences.
