2013 - VCS Inc

A Counseling and Family Service Agency
with an Anti-racist, Social Justice Mission
A MESSAGE FROM SARAH
2013 was a year of transition for me and for VCS. In
August of 2013 I moved from Portland, OR and began my
tenure as the VCS Executive Director. Prior to my
arrival, the leadership of the Interim Co-Executive
Directors, Phyllis B. Frank and Gail K. Golden was nothing
short of heroic. They both wore many hats from January
through half of August. Both of these remarkable women
are long time leaders at VCS and were able to prioritize
their responsibilities well. The Director of Finance, Nancy
Rosa, was able to keep the VCS doors open during this
time. Our Board of Directors stepped up to both conduct
a personnel search and assist all of the aforementioned
women in running such an important agency.
The management staff and I, along with Phillip Heffernan, worked for nine months
to revise our logo. Phil, a student intern, and professional designer, offered his
services because he believes very strongly in the VCS mission. We decided to take
a fresh look at how to convey through a new logo, who we are and what we do.
VCS is a counseling and family service agency with an anti-racist and social justice
mission. We have featured our new logo on the cover and we hope you love it as
much as we do.
Throughout 2013, 13,101 hours of service were provided to people seeking help.
They turned to VCS for counseling - often at times of personal and family crisis.
We expanded our youth counseling programs in schools that either provides
limited or no mental health services at all due to budget cuts.
The VCS mission; to provide hope and promote social justice for individuals,
families and communities through counseling, conflict resolution and community
change, is carried out with a sense of pride and purpose by a unique blend of a
volunteer work force and professional staff. Our staffing model provides low cost
services for people including those who are either uninsured or underinsured.
The report that follows is a synopsis of our work and accomplishments in 2013.
The greatest measure of our success continues to be the number of individuals,
young people and families who look to us for help. Our organization has been a
Rockland County institution since 1970 and for more than forty four years the
citizens of our county have been able to count on VCS for caring, quality and
affordable services.
We appreciate your continued partnership and financial support to maintain this
vibrant bastion of hope.
Thank you,
Sarah Goforth

NICHOLAS’ STORY
Nicholas grew up in Spring Valley watching his father physically abuse his
mother, and trying to protect his younger sister from the violence in his
home. Eventually his father left and went to live in Central America.
He began to identify as gay in middle school. When he came out to his
mother, she told him she would “never accept it”. She began to distance
herself from him and dropped him off with people he did not know to care for
him. He felt rejected by those closest to him. He learned he could not be
himself with his family, and began to try to be somebody he was not. There
was nobody he could talk to about what he was carrying. He started getting
migraines and felt sick a lot due to the resulting stress. He used alcohol and
drugs to numb these overwhelming emotions.
By the time he came to VCS at age 16 he was traumatized and severely
distressed, often experiencing violent mood swings during the day. The
school said they had to call the police or the ambulance any time he became
angry because his outbursts were so severe. VCS engaged him in counseling
to give him a place to begin to express the difficult feelings he carried within
himself. We also engaged his mother in counseling, and helped her begin to
talk about her son’s sexual orientation since she also had no place she could
do this safely. She loved him deeply, but felt caught between him and what
she imagined would be the reaction of her conservative family. She had
75,619 Hours
nobody to talk to about how to relate to a gay child. Counseling gave her a
place to talk about the things she could not say to anybody.
Over the course of their work at VCS, the two of them began to reconnect.
Nicholas’s outbursts at school became less severe and the school no longer
To help 1,670 special needs students
had to call the police or ambulance when he became upset. In the final
weeks of their involvement in counseling
Nicholas’s mother attended a local support
group for parents of gay children, and came
back glowing, saying how much she loved it.
Now she has a community of people who she
Salome Abordo, Spring
May Barone (L)
can finally talk to about her experience. She
Madeline Dorangricia (R)
has since begun talking with Nicholas and they
