N & D, Oregon My daughter wouldn’t even say goodbye when we left. In fact, her counselor had to terminate her first phone call, several weeks later, because of her bad attitude. Somehow, since then she has become a different girl. Now I cry tears of gratitude every time I get one of her letters. She tells me how much she loves me and how she can’t wait to see me. Back on her first home leave, I didn’t hear one word of disrespect the whole time she was here. I saw her use new skills in coping with problems and dealing with her emotions – skills she had learned at Patch. Now she is facing and dealing with the hurts in her past – hurts no child should ever have had to go through – with a new maturity. Her anger is being replaced with purpose and direction. Best and most important of all, she has told me of her new commitment to God. How many times I had prayed for that! I am more grateful than you can ever know for all the dedicated people at PATCH: NancyAnne, Jim and Sarah Smith, Dustin, Colleen, Sharon, Maria, Sarah, Gary, Chuck and all the rest of the wonderful people there. God bless all of you. My confidence in PATCH's program remains strong...I am forever grateful for what PATCH has done for our family. You have given me back my precious girl! With love and continued prayers A grateful mom. Parents at PATCH

Project PATCH was bursting with more than the usual activity generated by 30+ teenagers on the weekend of March 5-7. It was the 2nd Parent Weekend at PATCH and half of our clients’ parents were on campus – the energy was contagious! Most of the parents arrived on Friday afternoon to spend a few hours visiting with their teens before beginning the two- and-one-half days of classes. Two of the gymnasium. It took a lot of workshops they attended teamwork and dexterity – focused on violence in the and a good sense of humor – media, and spirituality and for each team to succeed in teenagers. Another was reaching their goal. There based on a new therapy was also time to spend with model, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and their teens at meals and walking around focused on communication with their teens. campus, sharing one another’s company. One of the highlights of the weekend was Parents left the weekend looking forward to an activity to build trust between the teens implementing the learned skills at home.

Thank you PATCH! I was a student at PATCH for 22 months and a week. I learned a lot and changed a bunch. I fell hard after my gradua tion, but life is getting back to normal! When I got to PATCH I was angry, depressed, over weight, bitter, cutting myself, and had the lowest self-esteem ever, all at the age of 12. I learned to love myself, others, and even God. I owe my life to PATCH. I know if I listen and remember every lesson I learned, my life will be happy and I will have a bright future with God, PATCH, friends, and family! I’m now a better and happier person. So thank you PATCH donors and supporters and a bigger thanks to the PATCH staff and especially to Sharon and Liz, the two best teachers in the world. Thanks for taking time to read my story. I hope it helps. God bless and again thank you PATCH for saving my life! A recent PATCH graduate

Colleen Donald, M.A., Treatment Coordinator This issue of our annual PATCH report emphasizes the concept of “dedication” Pam Doyle, PhD., School Psychologist* Stephanie Ross, M.S.W., Treatment Therapist which is an interesting word.
