2010 - Cornerstone Family Programs

Changing Lives...
2010 Annual Repor
Reportt
... for Nearly 200 Years
Message
from Our President & Executive Director
In 2010, we saw how the combination of continued unemployment, lack of
health insurance, reduced household incomes, and the emotional trauma of
wartime have impacted the health and well-being of everyday families. When
families on the edge of despair come through our doors, we give them hope.
We help our families see beyond the immediate crisis so that they have the
resources they need to overcome adversity. As leaders in the field, we worked
hard to counter these forces through innovative, cutting edge programs and
as a result, for the first time in our agency’s history, we have served more
Joe Longo
President
than 7,000 children, families and seniors in need. This year we successfully
developed model programs to address the mental health complexities of
pre-school children and introduced anti-bullying workshops to help young
children learn appropriate ways to cope with conflict. We have introduced
intensive mental health assessment, outreach and community linkages for our
frailest, at-risk seniors who have heretofore been overlooked or fallen through
the cracks. We have also expanded our Military Families and Veterans Outreach
Program with a focus on the children of deployed parents and the challenges
faced by caregivers of veterans. This level of program growth and expansion
is unprecedented in our organization’s history and stands as a testimony to
Patrice Picard
Executive Director
a mission which is rooted in a sincere and fundamental belief that we can
successfully change lives.
Our story has continued on through nearly two centuries. It is still about serving those who are determined to achieve
the independence and resilience needed to overcome adversity and provide for themselves and their families. We invite
you to experience our stories and achievements on the pages that follow. First and foremost, we extend our deepest
thanks to our FSMC Board of Managers, staff, volunteers and our partners who have invested so generously in our
mission. Together we have done remarkable work.

Our
Impact
Focusing on the BIG Picture
1.
Giving Children
the Best Start in Life
Building emotional resilience
for the youngest members of our
community:
Family Service of Morris County embarked on an
innovative, county-wide initiative to strengthen
the safety net in publicly subsidized preschools
through the development of the FSMC Early
Childhood Mental Health Intervention Program. This
initiative views the preschools as an ideal setting for
addressing early childhood mental health given both
the length of time young children spend at school
and the unique opportunities that the preschool
environment provides for identifying potentially
problematic behaviors. We know that many mental
health problems initially present themselves in
early childhood, therefore this is an optimal time
for intervention. Our experience has proved that
early intervention, particularly in this age group
may lessen the severity of mental health problems
later in life. Families and preschool teachers were
supported through education, coaching and parent
skills training. More than 200 of the most vulnerable
children participated in the nationally recognized,
benchmarking initiative, Devereux Early Childhood
Assessment (DECA).
FSMC Annual Report
Aggression Prevention Anti-Bullying
Workshops for preschoolers were introduced
4
as a powerful intervention to foster empathy
and promote interpersonal problem-solving and
conflict resolution skills. Children in preschool
struggle with their feelings, and the only way they
can communicate is often through behavior. The
ability of young children to control their emotional
and cognitive impulses, it turns out, is a remarkably
strong indicator of both short-term and long-term
success, academic and otherwise. In some studies,
self-regulation skills have been shown to predict
academic achievement more reliably than I.Q. tests.
1
Our goal is to introduce these skills to
young children when we know we can have
the greatest impact.
Parenting Tool Kits
A growing number of parents don’t just want
information; they want advice on what to
do and what the best approaches are to
effective parenting. These customized kits
were designed for quick, easy access to help
parents understand developmental stages and
the types of behavior to expect from their
young children. Best practices tips are offered
to help parents choose among free or low-cost,
age-appropriate materials including books, games,
music and interactive family activities. With grant
funds, 150 Tool Kits were created in English and
Spanish and distributed to our pre-school families.

The Senior Explosion:
The Future of Vulnerability
According to the United States Census Bureau, the
world’s 65-and-older population is projected to
triple by midcentury, from over 516 million in 2010
to 1.53 billion in 2050. This shift in the age structure
of the world’s population poses considerable
challenges to society, families, businesses, health
care providers and policymakers to meet the
needs of aging individuals. From recent census
data, Morris County has recorded 88,000 seniors
65 years of age and older who make up nearly
20% of the total population. At FSMC, more than
200 active seniors are enrolled in our FSMC Adult
Day Centers; 81% have been diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias
and 100% are with chronic illness. More than ever,
this data supports the need for comprehensive,
affordable adult day care and respite services for our
seniors and caregivers in Morris County.

better way to teach
young children about

for creative construction and “open ended” art,
play and learning. Our Closets now contain a
myriad of donated materials from local business
to include plastics, wood, rubber, foil, yarn, fabrics
and styrofoam which have been transformed by
the teachers, parents and children into toys and
learning tools. This year, a total of 175 preschool
teachers participated in these groundbreaking
educational workshops. We would like to especially
acknowledge Braunschweiger Jewelers, Glassworks
Studio, Wilson’s Interiors, Morristown Lumber and
Enjou Chocolatiers, Inc., for their donations and
ongoing support for this Program.

The Promise of
Hope: Redefining
Community Care
for Our Most
Vulnerable Seniors
6
The economic downturn,
limited financial resources, budget cuts, increase in
senior population, extension of longevity, all have
resulted in a dramatic rise in population aging that is
a palpable challenge for our County. To address this
need, FSMC was selected by a thirteen-member
Advisory Council of community service providers
to lead the initiative that has defined how elder care
services are now delivered to poor, disenfranchised
and seriously mentally ill seniors in Morris County.
In the first year of operation, the FSMC Senior
Collaboration and Geriatric Case Management
Program funded by the Grotta Fund for Senior
Care, successfully demonstrated how bringing true
collaboration and expertise among constituent
organizations and geriatric providers can significantly
improve healthcare outcomes and advance the
system of care. Through a holistic approach, our
team addressed a host of problems associated with
mental illness, substance abuse, hoarding, extreme
dementia, suicidal and homicidal ideation, and
self-neglect due to Alzheimer’s disease and helped
over 57 at-risk seniors and their caregiving families.

Maintaining Healthy
Families:
It is no surprise that our mental health professionals
are on the front lines every day helping our families
from every walk of life. As many try to cope amid
this lingering recession, the need for a communitybased, subsidized mental health program is even
more apparent. We see our role as the safety
net to provide affordable, community-based
mental health counseling and connecting families
to other basic services such as credit and financial
counseling, rental assistance and other community
services to help them during these uncertain
financial times. This past year, FSMC Family Mental
Health Counseling Program provided over 2,500
counseling sessions to 195 families. More than 80%
were placed on a sliding scale fee arrangement due
to their personal financial hardships. This represents
a 20% increase in sliding scale applications over the
previous year and illustrates the growing demand for
low-cost, mental health treatment programs close
to home.

When tragedy comes to our neighborhoods, FSMC
plays a critical role in helping families find courage
after loss by our Certified NJ Disaster Response
Crisis Counselors (NJDRCC) in a joint initiative of
The Mental Health Association of Morris County
Disaster Response Network. Several community
tragedies involving murder, suicide, a flood disaster
in Bound Brook, NJ and local Haitian families who
lost loved ones following the earthquake in Haiti,
called upon our trained counselors. As the County’s
leading mental health first responders, we mobilized
our team in the community to provide grief
counseling and therapeutic support in the schools,
parks and housing developments where these
incidents occurred to help community members
heal in the aftermath of these traumatic events.
The Challenges of Military Families:
Facing the New Normal
2010 marks our Country’s engagement in nine
years of wartime on multiple fronts. During this
time, we have learned that when our soldiers go

For many, the life they

once knew together
has profoundly
changed. FSMC has
been widely recognized as a leader in our local
community, working on a united front to help our
bravest families cope with the formidable challenges
that lie ahead. Since its inception in 2008, our
program offers a holistic approach to the soldier’s
re-entry and reintegration into the community
with an emphasis on the mental health needs
of the veteran and family. Intensive counseling,
therapeutic support and assistance was provided to
22 military families. We have taken a special interest
in working with children of deployed parents and
helping caregivers cope with the obvious stressors
associated with caring for a veteran.

Preventing Substance
Abuse in Families
through Education
FSMC and the Morristown
Community Soup Kitchen and
Outreach Center: Perfect Together
Overcoming the barriers to recovery is the first
step to sobriety. There are many complex factors
that can contribute to the disease of alcoholism
and drug addiction. Sometimes it can be the
loss of a job, an illness or prolonged social or
psychological issues. When left unattended, these
problems can spiral out of control leaving one in
dire straits that overshadow the will to successfully
embrace sobriety. Oftentimes, homelessness,
financial difficulties, lack of transportation or
support from family and friends can be barriers to
treatment when not addressed. The FSMC First
Step Program, in partnership with the Morristown
Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center
offered support and encouragement helping 120
Morristown Community Soup Kitchen guests
overcome these stumbling blocks to seeking
treatment. Through our newly introduced casemanagement program, we successfully managed
client cases from referral to medical detox,
inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, AA
and on to recovery.

NJ DUI Laws: Tough on Drinking
and Driving
8
NJ is one of the strictest states in the country
when it comes to drinking and driving and in
Morris County FSMC knows first-hand, the cost
to one’s reputation, family and employment.
Additionally, depending on the blood alcohol level,
the financial costs are exceedingly high. In fact,
the costs associated with a first-time offense, e.g.,
license suspensions, fines, insurance, legal fees and
mandated community education, can easily exceed
$10,000. As the designated Intoxicated Driver
Resource Center (IDRC) for Morris and Warren
Counties, FSMC counselors provided more than
3,200 client days of court-mandated educational
programs on the impact of alcohol and drug use to
over 1,600 people convicted of a DUI.

panel of experts on “Collaborating to Help Military Families and
Veterans.” Panel participants included Colonel Steven F. Cummings
(Army Reserve) Picatinny Arsenal; Military Family Member and
Novartis Military Affinity Group, Donna Araneo; FSMC Peer
Counselor, Jack McFadden; Carl Blum, Tip of the Arrow and Susan
Visser, Vice President of Veteran Services, Community Hope.
Morris County preschool teachers participated in extensive training
led by FSMC and the Devereux Early Childhood Initiative (DECI)
to learn how to assess and promote social and emotional
well-being and resilience for young children.
Finding Pathways through
our Spiritual Roots
When we think about success:
IT LOOKS LIKES THIS
When in crisis, clergy are often the first line of
support for those who have been thrust into a
caregiving role. Caregivers need not only spiritual
support, but guidance to navigate the complex
system of eldercare. Our Caregivers and Spirituality
Conference sponsored by FSMC in collaboration
with Freedom Eldercare offered valuable support
and community resources to area clergy and parish
nurses to better serve their congregations.
FSMC Recognized for Exemplary
Workforce Practices
FSMC was selected as the recipient of the prestigious
Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in
Workplace Flexibility in the greater Morris County
area. Congratulations were extended on behalf of the

of Commerce’s Institute for Competitive Work Force
and the Twiga Foundation. This award recognizes
model employers of all types and sizes across the
U.S. for their innovative and effective workplace
practices for both employer and employee. FSMC

The FSMC Young Professionals,
a group of young volunteers and
philanthropists representing key
corporations and other businesses in
Morris County, gathered at Hanover
Lanes for a showdown of bowling
prowess in a corporate challenge
that raised over $25,000 for FSMC.
For the third consecutive year, the
FSMC Young Professionals have
engaged hundreds of young, corporate
professionals in the Annual Bowl-AThon Fundraiser to raise awareness
and support our mission. BASF of
Florham Park remained the highest
scoring team for the second time
around and RegentAtlanticCapital, LLC
of Morristown, won the trophy again
this year for the team that raised the
most money.
