CRISIS PSYCHIATRIC CARE
REACH OUT
TO THE MOST
VULNERABLE
Like many teens, Jacob* is really into sports. He enjoys playing baseball and is a
running back on his high school football team. The Steelers and the Dodgers can
count him as one of their most enthusiastic fans.
However, just a few short years ago Jacob wasn’t running down the field, he was
running away from one foster home after another.
Disconnected from his family and falling further into crisis, he finally found safety
and security in the Crisis Psychiatric Care program at Albertina Kerr. This short term
residential program provides a secure alternative to hospitalization for kids needing
24-hour supervision, a psychiatric evaluation and crisis stabilization. In addition, the
staff works to develop a plan for the future while connecting children and families to
the support they need.
Kerr strives to provide a continuum of care to children based on their level of need.
The goal is to ultimately return the child to their home, family, and community.
Crisis Psychiatric Care (subacute)
Typically a two-week residential stay that offers kids ages 6 to 18 a safe place to stay
and 24-hour access to mental health professionals to address urgent mental health
crises. The goals of the program are to stabilize children in crisis and provide effective
mental health treatment.

INCLUDED AND
EMPOWERED
When Jacob was ready to leave the Crisis Psychiatric Care program, he still needed a more intensive
level of care. After moving over to Albertina Kerr’s Intensive Treatment Program, he started to learn
how to talk about his concerns instead of using behavior to express his emotions. He learned how to live
with other kids and to connect with staff members. Eventually, Jacob was ready for more independence
and to be part of the community.
At first, he moved into an Albertina Kerr Youth Group Home for kids who need the most supervision. While
there, he “learned a lot of stuff…like life skills” and adjusted to living in a neighborhood, going to school and
responsibility. He also discovered a need to speak out on behalf of other kids. Over time, Jacob has become
an advocate for children throughout Kerr. In particular, he takes great pride in serving on the planning
committee for the Kerr Games, a twice-yearly opportunity to come together, play sports and just be kids.

Intensive
Treatment Program
The only program of its kind in Oregon, the Intensive
Treatment Program is a safe and secure residential
treatment program for youth with developmental
disabilities, many of whom have concurrent mental
health challenges. Youth receive education, therapy,
and life skills training. The goal is for every child to
develop the stability and skills to successfully live
in the community.
YOUTH GROUP HOMES
“ There aren’t many
agencies that do
more than Albertina
Kerr for those most in
need. The needs are
major and Albertina
Kerr has evolved to
meet those needs.”
Chris Brown,
Emeritus Board Member
Albertina Kerr neighborhood group homes
for youth offer specialized care and treatment
for children ages 7 to 18 with developmental
disabilities and mental health challenges. Each
home is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
by direct care staff. They work as a team together
with family members, psychiatrists, therapists
and behavior support specialists to develop each
child’s treatment plan to meet shared goals. Many
residents have a history of abuse and neglect and
have experienced multiple placements outside their
own home. Moving to a Kerr group home allows
youth to establish a safe, nurturing and stable home
environment where they have their own room,
healthy meals and an active life within
their neighborhood.

KERR BIKES
becoming part
of the community
In time, Jacob demonstrated that he was ready for more independence. He took the opportunity to
move to a group home for kids who were also ready to do more on their own. Today, he is a junior
in high school and enjoys going to the park, meeting his friends at the mall and spending time on
the internet. At first he says he didn’t want to talk to other kids at school, but becoming part of the
football team has changed that. His teammates have become like family. Jacob also spent the
summer working at Kerr Bikes, where he says he enjoyed learning job skills, how to work with
customers and responsibility. He sees Albertina Kerr as a place where you can learn independence
and how to advocate for yourself.

through bike rentals, Kerr Bikes also supports
the community. All proceeds benefit Albertina

“ I’ve seen progress in

here,” said Jacob.
“If it wasn’t for the
staff and the support
that I got from them,
I would still be
running away.”

Community Inclusion & Intensive Community-Based Treatment
A SOCIETY that has
NO BARRIERS
When Lori and Teresa* first connected with Albertina Kerr, their
world was limited to home and family. The sisters, now in their
40s, both have developmental disabilities and have lived at home
in Eugene for their entire lives, rarely venturing out as they got
older. After their father passed away, mom was home alone with
the sisters and needed help. She turned to Albertina Kerr.
Today, with support from Kerr’s Community Inclusion services,
a whole new world has opened up for Lori and Teresa. Two years
ago, they started as volunteers picking up paper for recycling at
a number of office buildings. That volunteer work has evolved
into paid positions, their first jobs. They are also leading more
independent lives, enjoying the movies, bowling, swimming, eating
out and even producing work for art shows, from glass to beads.
After 20 years at home, their mother is grateful that they have
the opportunity to be part of the community: “They both have
blossomed. I didn’t know all this was possible.”

Community
Inclusion
People with developmental
disabilities have the opportunity
to participate in the workforce,
community activities and volunteer

Alice* had been removed from every single school, daycare
or other program she attended for unruly behavior. With
a divorce in the family, the situation intensified and her
parents turned to the medical system for help. After ten
days in the hospital, they finally found a safe setting for
their daughter in Kerr’s Crisis Psychiatric Care program.
The team at Albertina Kerr provided an environment
where Alice could stabilize and developed a team to plan
for her future. “Coming to Albertina Kerr allowed us to
feel, as a family, that other people were seeing the same
behavior,” said her mother. “We no longer felt alone.”
After a brief stay, Alice was able to return to her family.
Today, the team at Kerr continues to provide care through
Intensive Community-Based Treatment Services. It has
been a difficult road for her mother, “As a parent, it was
scary to let go and put my trust in the professionals. It’s one
of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but if we didn’t get
something done right away, this could affect her entire life.”
Today, for the first time, she is going to school every day.
Alice has learned skills that allow her to take breaks and
express what she needs in the classroom. The Kerr team
still sees her and her family once a week, but she continues
to progress toward a less intensive level of care. Her mother
says, “She is a whole different child. It’s definitely been a
positive experience although it was hard in the beginning.”

TO CHALLENGE
THE NORM
Change has always been at the heart of what we do here at

remains constant is our commitment to reaching out to the most
vulnerable and challenging the norm to create a society that has
no barriers.

2010-11 Highlights
Albertina Kerr’s board developed, long-term strategic plan includes
five key goals. Here are the highlights of our progress this year:
Goal 1: Expand programs and services
A new transitional group home was opened for young adults ages 18 to
26 moving from a youth group home into an adult setting. They are now
able to live with their peers before stepping into independent living or
a traditional group home.
Goal 2: Elevate Kerr to the “Employer of Choice”
Three years into the current strategic plan, there is a 35 percent
reduction in employee turnover, a 10 percent reduction in employee
injuries and an improved quality of hire.
Goal 3: Maintain and improve the stability and diversity
of funding
As the State of Oregon faced budget reductions, Albertina Kerr worked
with advocates, peer associations and the community to communicate
the importance of funding for services for people with developmental
disabilities and mental health challenges. While many anticipated cuts
to programs were not made, Kerr also moved to improve efficiencies
to ensure the long-term stability of the organization. In addition, more
than $1 million in planned gifts and an increase in event revenue helped
increase funding for the organization this year.
Goal 4: Increase awareness of Kerr
In the second year of the Army of Angels campaign, awareness of
Albertina Kerr increased an additional 11% in a survey of the
general public.
Goal 5: Define the best opportunities for long-term use of Kerr’s
physical assets
Many services previously housed at the Gresham Campus, including
outpatient services, foster care, the family resource center, human
resources and IT were moved to a new, short-term location at Cascade
Station as plans are made for the long-term use of the campus.
Albertina Kerr provides a wide
range of mental health services
for children and support for their
families. We also provide care
and skills training for people with
developmental disabilities, serving
people in their homes, in the
community and in group homes.
We serve individuals from
throughout Oregon at facilities
throughout the Willamette Valley,
with services primarily offered
in Clackamas, Lane, Marion,
Multnomah, and Washington
Counties. We also work with foster
families in Northwest Oregon.
Improving the lives of
Oregonians in need for
more than 100 years
Established in Portland in 1907,
Albertina Kerr has long supported
children and families from a
nursery and adoption center to
supported living, employment and
life skills training for people with
developmental disabilities. Over
the decades, our services have
evolved to meet community needs.
Today, we serve children and adults
with mental health challenges and
developmental disabilities.

ABOUT ALBERTINA KERR
WHAT WE Do
Albertina Kerr provides a continuum of services to children, adults and families living with mental
health challenges and developmental disabilities.
For adults with developmental
disabilities & their families:
Community Inclusion
Group Homes for Adults
Support for people with developmental disabilities
provides the opportunity to participate in the
workforce, volunteer, join in community activities
and pursue hobbies that enrich their lives, leading to
increased independence and community involvement.
A total of 109 people took part in Albertina Kerr’s
community inclusion services last year with 95
percent on their way to or completing personal goals.
Albertina Kerr runs twenty-eight neighborhood
homes in Clackamas, Lane, Marion, Multnomah,
and Washington counties that offer 24-hour support
and individual growth opportunities to adults with
developmental disabilities. Last year, Kerr provided
services to 117 people with 96 percent either on their
way to or having completed their personal goals.
Supported Living
A support system for adults with developmental
disabilities that provides opportunities to create their
own living situation based on their needs and goals.
Four people received supported living services.
12
For children & families:
Family Resource Center
Crisis Psychiatric Care (Subacute)
A place where families raising a child with mental
health challenges and/or developmental disabilities
can find support, answers to questions and gather
for activities and events. Due to the relocation of the
center, a change in staff leadership and the closing of
a major community partner, the family resource center
was only open part of the year and served 30 families.
Short-term residential care (usually less than
two weeks) and 24-hour access to mental health
professionals for children with urgent mental health
crises. Children are stabilized and families connected
with long-term services and support. This year,
Kerr provided short-term crisis psychiatric care for
297 children who posed an immediate danger to
themselves or others. Ninety-seven percent of children
were stabilized and able to successfully transition to a
less intensive level of care, including returning home.
Foster Care
Safe and caring homes for foster children with
mental health challenges as well as developmental
disabilities. Foster care providers receive extensive
training and 24-hour support. Last year, Kerr provided
foster care for 106 children with both mental health
challenges and developmental disabilities. More than
80 percent of families report that they feel they have
more resources and support available.
Group Homes for Youth
Sixteen group homes where 91 youth ages 8 to 18
with developmental disabilities and mental health
challenges found around-the-clock support and life
skills training in a safe and secure setting. Ninetyseven percent of the youth met their personal goals or
are making significant, positive progress.
Intensive Treatment Program
A safe and secure treatment program for youth with
developmental disabilities, many of whom also have
mental health challenges. This program is the only one
of its kind in Oregon. This year, 19 youth were served.
Community-Based Mental
Health Services
Outpatient, early childhood and intensive communitybased mental health services for children and
their families provided in the child’s home, school
and community.
In the intensive community-based mental health
services program, Kerr served 97 low-income children,
ages 4 to 17, with emotional and behavioral health
challenges who were at risk of losing their home
or school placement. Therapy, skills training, and
intensive behavioral support allowed 77% of children
to remain safely in their home setting.
Kerr provided community-based outpatient services
to 207 children with 79 percent of families reporting
that they felt their child is better at handling daily life.
In addition, Kerr served 32 very young children in the
early childhood outpatient services program. All 32
children showed improvement.

Despite ongoing challenges in our state
economy, Albertina Kerr has responded
well to funding cuts from government
sources through efficient management
of its resources and solid fundraising
efforts. Strong operational performance,
combined with favorable investment
returns and some generous estate gifts,
enabled Albertina Kerr to increase its
unrestricted net assets by 22% for the year.
Through strong fiscal management,
Albertina Kerr has been able to increase
our reserves to better position us to
handle the impact of further funding
cuts and uncertain economic conditions
that lie ahead. In addition, we have
continued our commitment to financial
stewardship, with our recent audit
producing no management letter findings.

Albertina Kerr’s Army of Angels
ANNUAL MEETING &
COMMUNITY AWARDS
More than 250 people attended the 104th Annual
Meeting and Community Awards on October 25.
Guest speaker Rachel Simon, author of Riding the
Bus with My Sister, reminded us of the importance
of Albertina Kerr’s community-based care and its
impact on individuals and families.
Silver Circle Award:
The Old Kerr Nursery Association was founded to help
support the work of Albertina Kerr. Albertina’s Restaurant
and Shops have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars
to support vital services over the past 30 years.
Outstanding Foundation Support:
Since 1947, the Collins Foundation has generously helped
fund services to the most vulnerable in our community.
Over the years, they have played a crucial role in
providing support that helped Albertina Kerr make
advances in innovation and care including our low lift
project and youth group home improvement projects.
Outstanding Community Support, Business:
Precision Castparts Corp., has supported the work of
Kerr both financially and through the time and talents
of its leadership. A long time sponsor of various events,
Precision Castparts has played an important role
in ensuring that children, adults and families in our
community get the services they need from Albertina Kerr.
Community Service Award:
Jim and Christina Trolinger have been involved with
Albertina Kerr for more than a decade. Their time,
dedication and generosity have made a significant impact
on those we support today and into the future. Over the
years, the Trolingers have also been an inspiration to
others, engaging their staff at Swagelok NW (US).
