RHD’s C.O.R.E. values Clients, staff work toward recovery in Pittsburgh
ichael was asked how many other programs he’d tried as he sought to re-integrate into society as a returning citizen, and he said: “Ha! All of them!” But at C.O.R.E., an RHD program for Mreturning citizens in Pittsburgh, Michael is having success for the rst time — staying sober, making every meeting, hitting all his goals. “ is has been the best experience,” Michael said. “It’s a blessing to be here. I felt like I lost track of who Michael was. But I found him again, here at C.O.R.E.” C.O.R.E. stands for Capitalizing On a Recovery Environment. It is a long-term (6-month) community reintegration recovery program for individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues. It’s RHD’s newest program in Pittsburgh, where RHD has been supporting people since 2000. “In too many recovery models, the focus is rules enforcement and compliance — but when you walk out the door, people who were telling you what to do and enforcing the rules don’t go with you, so you revert back to old behaviors and decision making,” said C.O.R.E. Director Kevin Kordzi. “Here you’ve got to gure things out and make a decision for yourself — why do something, whether it worked or didn’t, whether it supports recovery. We focus on life skills, social skills, really teaching people how to function in community.” Dan said when he rst arrived at C.O.R.E., he thought it was too good to be true: “I was ready to run. I thought it was a trap! People were kind to me. Not patronizing — kind! It freaked me out …” “ is was the end of the line for me,” Dan said. “I’ve gotten nothing but help since I’ve been here, ‘It’s a blessing:’ Michael, with RHD Clinical Supervisor Lauren Heaton, is one of many and I’ve been treated with See CORE / page 2 RHD clients working on life skills, social skills and re-integrating into society at C.O.R.E.

My family is very fortunate if this sort of program could also be done in Italy. I would have spent hours seeing all the and we view it as our duty to help those who are less fortunate.

Today the Antinori family operates vineyards around the world, and each combines a love of tradition and authenticity with an innovative spirit. e Main Line Wine Gala was sponsored by the Results Companies. Master Chef Georges Perrier joined the event as consulting chef, and spent time in the kitchen cooking food he’d personally chosen to pair with each Antinori wine. “It was a great event,” Alessia said. “It was very special for me to taste the Solaia at the VIP reception, and the food pairings of Chef Perrier were unique. e very nice words I heard throughout the evening were much appreciated, and made for a very emotional night for me.” “It was a great pleasure to meet Alessia and welcome her to the City of Brotherly Love,” Master Chef Perrier said. “I enjoyed not only coming up with pairings for these elegant wines, but also getting back in the kitchen to cook on this wonderful night. I’m happy to be a part of the Main Line Wine Gala, bene ting some great RHD programs, and of course I am glad everyone so enjoyed the food!” RHD’s Endow-A-Home and Center for Creative Works were showcased at the Gala. Asha Mitchell, one of the rst Endow-A-Home mother/partners, appeared and spoke about the program’s comprehensive long-term case management and support services that help motivated mothers achieve self-suciency and a stable life for their family.

Communication: JP works with Amy at Imagine That!, where sta learned his language. Person-Centered at ITKC! JP is very verbal. He talks all the time. But because he uses a language that is very much his own, he struggled to communicate. Providers who attempted to teach JP to communicate usually frustrated him, because he struggled to learn their language. When he came to Imagine That!, JP’s sta found a way to communicate with him. They learned his language. “Communication, and being understood, is extremely important to Creative juices: Above, Kevin works on his short lm at Imagine That! Kevin is also supported JP,” said Amy Norman, Day Program Manager. “He can become frustrated residentially in Kansas City, where RHD utilizes the companion model in a shared home/shared life when he’s not understood. Someone who doesn’t know JP well might not approach that provides support to adults with developmental disabilities. Each person’s supports understand JP, or his version of sign language. As JP appeared to become are assessed individually and the supports are adapted to each individual’s needs. Below, Dan more frustrated, the sta at the studio agreed there was a need to collect creates his own pottery at the studio’s pottery wheel. On the Cover: Direct Support Professional what we’d learned through interactions with him and use it as a tool.” Jessica Johnson celebrates another great day at Imagine That! with Linda (right). When JP was a child, his grandmother wrote down words on pieces of paper, which he’d collect and show others. His mother began making paper bracelets that JP would wear on his wrist, so that some basic needs could be communicated. But when JP attempted any more complicated interactions, he’d roll out jumbles of words that sounded to an untrained ear like gibberish. The sta at Imagine That! discovered that it wasn’t gibberish — it was his language. His words were consistent — what he’d call something, what he’d ask for, was not something his sta could recognize, but it was always the same. So the sta started a Learning Log to document what JP was saying and match up his words and phrases with what he wanted. And little by little, they learned his language. “Each day the sta member working with him would add to the Learning Log something they discovered about JP’s communication — when JP is doing this, we think it means this, and we should do this for him,” Norman said. “Everyone began to realize how important JP’s style of communication is to him, and was a great tool to build a relationship.” JP is an example of the Person-Centered Thinking training that sta at RHD Missouri in Kansas City underwent to better serve their clients. All RHD programs emphasize the person in the service, respecting and responding to an individual’s needs. “Person-Centered Thinking goes along with the Values at RHD,” said Misty Kelso, Program Director at Imagine That! “It starts with where a person is, and what their strengths are. We don’t see people as having a disability, we see them as people with abilities. We look at what’s working and what’s not, and we can better determine what supports a person wants and needs — and what skills are needed from the sta to support that person. “Person-Centered Thinking is more of a mentality than a tangible, although when we experience issues we’ll pull out a tool and work through them. But it’s something we’ve incorporated into the environment as a way that we deliver services and supports.” Residential Team Leader Victoria Smith told the story of a client named Brittany, who communicated one thing verbally but often gave o an he’s able to express himself, and that helps him accomplish entirely di erent emotion through nonverbal communications like body his goals. at’s his dream.” language.

It is that Value of decentralization of authority, in that everybody has a voice in how we operate and the sta is highly involved in deciding the best methods of support. “We don’t want to operate in a crisis culture.
