The human-services landscape continues to see dramatic changes that require leading organizations such as ours to engage in strategic planning, foresight and fiscal responsibility—while maintaining our steady day-to-day commitment to the youth and families with whom we partner.

Page 6 One important element in the fulfillment of those shared yet divergent goals is communication. By energetically engaging in an ongoing exchange of ideas—with youth and families, with educators and clinicians, with donors and community members—we can increase mutual understandings, promote healing and make long-term change possible. In that spirit, this Annual Report takes you inside a number of one-on-one conversations among Hillside staff, parents and youth currently or formerly served by our programs. These conversations cover a wide range of topics and themes, all related to Hillside’s positive impact on the individuals and communities of our regions. You are one of Hillside’s most important partners, and your support and input make everything we do possible. Please consider this look back on another highly productive year to be part of your own ongoing conversation with Hillside Family of Agencies. Thank you for all you do for our youth and families.

MIKE: I don’t know if you remember, but when we first met you encouraged me to keep going. And now your son is five—wow. MICHAEL: Yeah, he turned five in September. He’s such a loving, fun-filled kid. When I joined the program, I wanted to find out all I could to be a good father to him. How did you join? MIKE: Through the Employee Assistance Program at my job. This is my first child—I love her dearly—and I wanted to have more tools in my toolbox. What did you learn from the group? MICHAEL: I liked seeing the consistent themes with different dads. Most importantly, I learned how to be a positive role model—how to lead by example, and make the time to be a better father. MIKE: I liked learning about getting out of that old way of thinking of dads as just the breadwinners—that we can bring emotional and psychological wellbeing to our child, too. Helping feel loved, and nurtured. Not being so macho, but being a real part of raising them.

MICHAEL: Every father has a different relationship with their children. In the program we talked a lot about what men go through in their situations, how they handled things, and what they could have done to handle things a little bit differently, or to be a little bit more successful. MIKE: I know from my experience with my own dad how important that relationship can be. I think about him a Family Resource Centers at Hillside lot since he passed. I learned a lot of positive things from offer initiatives including the Fatherhood him—he helped me become a better dad. I regret that Program, in which fathers build on their he didn’t meet my daughter. parental strengths through weekly discussion groups and one-on-one MICHAEL: It wasn’t until after he passed away that I supports. Working together, they began to think about the support I got from my father, develop new pathways to healthier the morals and foundational stuff that made me what connections with their kids. I am. He created the passion in me that helped me achieve things that I wanted to do. Mike Father of one-year-old girl Michael Dad of five-year-old boy

MICHAEL: Yeah, he turned five in September. He’s such a loving, fun-filled kid. When I joined the program, I wanted MICHAEL: I definitely agree. As a teacher, I’ve seen a lot to find out all I could to be a good father to him. How did of the repercussions of a lack of a responsible father you join? in your life. Kids will always do better with a dad who wants to be there for them. MIKE: Through the Employee Assistance Program at my job. This is my first child—I love her dearly—and I wanted MIKE: I’d like to keep in contact with you, Michael. It’s good to have more tools in my toolbox. What did you learn from to talk to people who have been through what I’m going the group? through now. MICHAEL: I liked seeing the consistent themes with MICHAEL: That would be great. I think the main thing is to different dads. Most importantly, I learned how to be a just keep trying to do right by your kid. At night I ask myself, positive role model—how to lead by example, and “Did I try my best with my son today? Am I being the father make the time to be a better father. I want to be?” If the answer is yes, I feel like I’m doing right for his future.

MICHAEL: Every father has a different relationship MICHAEL: That’s what I want—for my son to look back with their children.

Make your time count. That’s all we can do.

Hillside Family of Agencies MARSHA: There’s so much value in using this kind of technology in clinical settings. Whenever a youth comes into care, there’s already that trauma of just being away from their family, on top of whatever other challenges they may be facing. This provides MARSHA: It seems like technology is becoming an opportunity for us to build and maintain stronger more common in our clinical work. I know it’s connections with families, and provide more making a difference with our youth and families. individualized care as a result of that partnership. CAROL: Definitely.

Since 2014, the Apprenticeship thought about, but once I started I thought, “Yeah, Program at Hillside has provided youth I can do this.” receiving services from Hillside SANDIE: When you would come home, you were with opportunities to develop always very excited about helping me paint and on-the-job skills in areas including helping me implement the things that you learned. environmental services, facilities I could tell you really liked the idea of using all and purchasing, warehouse and those new skills. food services. This innovative program supports a youth’s JACOB: And I literally built this table. I found this treatment goals while advancing old, beat up workbench and I was like, “I’m gonna their progress toward realizing make you beautiful.” And now it’s sitting in my a happy, productive future. room. It’s a nice table, it’s a sky blue and it has all these beautiful stained pieces of wood and a Jacob tiled top. Hillside Apprentice Sandie SANDIE: Having someone mentor him is very Jacob’s Mom important. He’s always willing to learn, but he needs Ben Noeson Facilities Manager

SANDIE: Jake learned so much working with you, Ben. How did he get started in the program? BEN: After they put in an application, the kids go through an actual interview. Jacob and I worked together Tuesdays and Thursdays for almost three months. What were you working on before you came to me, Jacob? JACOB: I was doing culinary work, then I started with painting. Then I went to carpentry. BEN: When he was with me in the shop, we went through basic hand tools, and he helped me with painting on finishing projects. We did a lot of installs, repairing furniture, minor things like that. He got a broad overview of what the Facilities department does at Hillside. SANDIE: Jake loves to work with his hands, and I’m always grateful for any skills he can learn. And he got paid—he loved having money in his pocket. That was a nice perk. JACOB: Yeah, that was nice. SANDIE: What did you think of your time with Ben? JACOB: Working in the shop was pretty awesome. It taught me that if you work to the best of your ability you can actually get somewhere. Carpentry is something that I would never have 7

that structured environment, which is why I think the apprentice program was so great for him. BEN: I definitely picked that up when we started working together. If I’m just telling him, he’d ask a lot more questions. But if I tell him as we do it, he’s like, “Oh. That was easy.” SANDIE: He’s really good with watching you do it, then being able to do it himself. BEN: When they suggested I have an apprentice, I was 100 percent on board—at the end of the day we’re all here to help kids, no matter what department we’re in. Your son was the perfect fit for the program. He tried things that were outside his comfort zone, got right into it and started doing really well. He was a joy to work with. I can see how he could do this kind of work professionally in time, you know? SANDIE: Oh, I definitely see him working in a hands- on field. I’ve always thought he would be quite happy in construction-type work—he’s so handy. It’s got to be something with structure. But it won’t be sitting at a desk. JACOB: Everything I learned will always be there for me—it’s not going to go anywhere, you can’t take it away. SANDIE: That makes me weepy. I’m sorry, it’s just so sweet. JACOB: And small things like building a table could lead to building a house someday. You never know. SANDIE: It’s a beautiful table. And you took scrap wood and made something out of it. That’s quite an imagination. BEN: It’s part of being a carpenter. SANDIE: You’re learning new skills. Sometimes you don’t like what you’re doing, but it’s a stepping stool for the next thing. JACOB: Now I gotta go make a table or chair, or a bookshelf. One of those. SANDIE: And now you can because you have the foundation. JACOB: Hammer and screws, let’s go.

As part of their residential treatment LORRI: We show all our animals at fairs and at Hillside’s Snell Farm Children’s competitions. Except the alpacas—there’s no room Center—a working farm in Bath, NY— for them at the County Fair. Showing animals boys get to encounter goats, rabbits, multiplies the therapeutic effects for kids. It’s great alpacas and other farm animals whose for them to pet them and feed them, but when they presence provides therapeutic benefits can go out and do specific activities with them, they and opportunities for innovative activities. really stretch themselves and build their self-esteem. Staff at the Hillside Children’s Center Varick Campus are exploring the addition SARAH: We’ve seen that same kind of thing with the of a similar program at their own rural horses—the kids are motivated to take care of them facility in Romulus, NY. and they really bond with them, but they also see how the animals react to them. If they aren’t calm, Lorri Dennis the animal won’t be calm. It helps them learn how Recreation Coordinator their emotional control affects their environment. Snell Farm Children’s Center Sarah Spear Therapeutic Recreation Coordinator Hillside Children’s Center Varick Campus

LORRI: Thanks for coming out, Sarah. SARAH: Thank you! We want to expand and do more things with animals that can have therapeutic value for the kids. We know that working with animals can give kids an opportunity to really feel important, needed and normal. I thought we could learn from you. LORRI: Let’s start with dogs. We have a woman who brings about 10 dogs on campus for obedience and agility programs with the boys. Staff members bring their dogs, too. It’s a great program. We do it at the Rec Center every other Thursday. SARAH: We do have a lot of dogs that come on campus with their owners. Is there a reason you don’t keep dogs on campus? LORRI: For a dog to live here and have so many owners would be stressful for them. It can be confusing to the boys, too. SARAH: That makes sense. We do have animal activities off campus. Twice a week we go to a ranch about 20 minutes down the road, where the kids learn to take care of horses and work up to trail rides. We see a lot of positive feedback from that. I know you’re very involved with animal shows here—what is that like? 11

LORRI: Horses and dogs are extraordinary. Horses can tell your level of expertise and how to respond to you. Goats don’t read body language, but they do react to loud noises. They make great therapy animals. SARAH: We want to start working with goats. We have to build a barn for that. LORRI: Did you get a chance to see our goats yet? SARAH: After we talk, I would love to. Do goats sense when the kids are nervous, like a horse does? LORRI: I think so, but they know how to protect themselves. They’re fine with anything. SARAH: What about rabbits? I’m really interested in seeing how you do the rabbit program. LORRI: Right now we’re building rabbit jumps so we can do rabbit hopping in competition. You put a harness on them and encourage them to jump over hurdles. But the boys don’t always like big rabbits. They’re more gentle, but they’re awkward and the boys can be afraid of them. SARAH: I didn’t realize that. Do you find it matters if a youth has been around animals before? LORRI: Our greatest hurdle is the boys from urban areas. I always feel like I accomplish something if I can get one of them interested. SARAH: We have a young lady from New York City who’s gone through three different six-week horseback riding sessions. At first, she would never get on a horse. But then one day she climbed right on. I thought her staff member was going to cry—he was so excited for her. Seeing her so happy was really pretty wonderful.
