December 2010 Dear Friends, Welcome to our 2010 Annual Report, “Inspiring Possibilities.” Have you ever taken a moment to think about what inspires you? What is it that makes you contemplate the future and then the steps necessary to make that future a reality? For some of us it may have been a parent, family member, coach, teacher, spiritual leader or good friend. At Judge Baker Children’s Center we are working every day to inspire the children and families who turn to us for help. Using the very best in evidence-based practices—practices with proven results that will unlock the potential of these children—we give them and their families the chance to imagine a very different future... one filled with hope, with success and with endless possibility. You are an important partner in this inspiring work. If it were not for the loyalty and support of friends and donors like you, the Baker would not be able to undertake the research that leads to new, more effective interventions or the training that makes these practices available to clinicians in community- based programs throughout New England and beyond. Every day children are learning new skills to help them realize their dreams; and every day through your generosity you touch in a remarkable way the life of a child seeking inspiration. The pages that follow share just a small sampling of all the incredible work taking place at the Baker. I encourage you to take the time to read through the text, look at the photos and see what a difference your support has made. As chair of the Board of Trustees, I have the honor and privilege of witnessing firsthand the impact we have, of hearing directly from the children and their families about how the Baker changed their lives and of working with my fellow trustees to shape the best possible future for the Baker and all those whom it serves. I hope you, too, will be inspired by what you read and perhaps even learn a little bit more about Judge Baker Children’s Center. With your continued support our possibilities are unlimited! Sincerely, Kathryn E. Cade Chair, Board of Trustees 1 Executive Summary Fiscal Year 2010 Quite a Year! n this highly eventful year, news stories about children underscored the importance of our mission at Judge Baker Children’s Center; and stories about Ithe continuing national financial turmoil highlighted the fiscal strength of the Baker that makes it possible to carry out our mission. News about Phoebe Prince, whose suicide was apparently brought on by cyber-bullying, raised concern nationwide about vulnerable children facing emo- tional distress, and about the need for effective preven- tion and treatment programs. Stories about John Odgren, convicted of first degree murder after fatally stabbing a classmate, emphasized the fact that he had been diag- based assessment and treatment services, those that nosed with multiple mental health disorders and stressed have been tested scientifically and shown to be valid and the need for effective intervention programs.
