www.didihirsch.org /didihirsch.org @DidiHirsch @Didi_Hirsch Dear Friends,

Each year Didi Hirsch reviews the effectiveness of our services retrospectively. It takes data from many clients to determine whether particular treatments have made a significant difference. This Annual Report features some of our clients whose lives were transformed by treatment. Didi Hirsch also focuses on the future—developing services and tools to address unmet needs in the field of mental health. Individual donors and foundations are critical, as government funding often does not cover this work. Here are a few examples.

Practice Based Research Networks: It can take 17 to 20 years for information gleaned in the “ivory tower” to reach the “real world.” One reason for the divide is that researchers tend to limit their studies to individuals with only one problem. But clients with mental illness typically have more than one disorder. Practice Based Research Networks bring these worlds together in partnerships that include researchers, clinicians and their clients. Known as Practice Based Research Networks, there are over 150 in the U.S. The only one registered to focus on community Mental Health is led by Didi Hirsch and USC’s School of Social Work with grant support from USC. It also includes Exodus Recovery, Mental Health America-LA and Pacific Clinics.

One Person, One Team: On average, adults with serious mental illness die of treatable medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes up to 25 years sooner than the general population. In response, Didi Hirsch is bringing “one-stop shopping” to our clients by offering primary care onsite. A highly competitive multiyear federal grant allowed us to partner with South Bay Family Health Care, which co-located one of its staff at our Inglewood Center part-time. The partnership continues although the grant has ended. Recent grants from St. John’s Health Center Foundation enhanced our partnership with Westside Family Health Center, which sends health practitioners to our Culver City center in a mobile medical van.

Assessing Trauma in Young Children: The more traumatic experiences in a child’s life, the more likely he or she will be negatively impacted academically, physically and interpersonally. However, there are no simple and valid trauma assessments for children five and under. A team of Didi Hirsch’s clinical psychologists and psychology interns have developed a short trauma assessment they now are testing. An effective tool would allow us to identify children exposed to trauma and refer them for treatment before serious problems develop. A two-year grant from the UniHealth Foundation is funding the project.

Developing Groups for Survivors of Suicide Attempts: Individuals are at high risk of dying by sui- cide in the first three months following an attempt. Yet, stigma deters many from revealing suicidal thoughts or past attempts to mental health professionals. Those who do discover that many will not accept them. This gap in care led us to develop a model support group for attempt survivors, which has been accepted by a national registry and requested by 1,200 organizations from all 50 states and 30 countries. Measures of suicide risk decreased significantly among group participants, and their resilience increased significantly. Together with a leading researcher, we will next evaluate its effectiveness in other organizations.

Thank you for supporting the present and the future,

VICE CHAIR Didi Hirsch’s impact has expanded in other ways this past year as well. We launched a $15 million Lewis C.

This facility will enable us to unite our prevention services under one roof, as well as expand other programs IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR such as therapy and counseling for children affected by suicide and training for future mental health Carlos Garcia professionals. We have a building on Olympic Boulevard in West Los Angeles and are providing personal tours for supporters interested in naming opportunities.

While the capital campaign is focused on our Suicide Prevention Center, there are many meaning- ful ways to give back—not just to this new center, but to all the children and adults who receive mental health, substance use and physical health care services from Didi Hirsch in 2017. You can support our end-of-the-year appeal, become a major donor and attend our fundraising events. We are grateful for gifts of any amount, as every dollar makes a difference. None of these giving opportunities is exclusive. We need your support for all of them.

With that in mind, I want to thank everyone—our Board, donors, staff and volunteers—who helped our campaigns succeed in 2017. Our signature Erasing the Stigma event was a terrific hit, breaking previous records in raising funds and awareness of our longstanding campaign to over- come the stigma of mental illness. Our 19th annual Alive & Running 5K Walk/Run for Suicide Prevention achieved a personal best while our end-of-the-year appeal once again raised vital funds for Didi Hirsch’s life-changing services. Working together, we helped transform more than 100,000 lives in 2017.

My fellow board members and I are dedicated to fulfilling the vision of a day when stigma is com- pletely erased and help is available to all who are suffering. Together, we can bring that day closer, but we can’t do it without you.

Warmly,

In appreciation for the comfort and support she received from a Didi Hirsch crisis counselor, Muay Thai fighter Magalie Alvarez donated earn- ings from her 2017 fight against Jillian Bosserdet to our Suicide Prevention Center. Alvarez, who is recovering from anxiety and depression, became a suicide prevention advocate after a fellow fight- ing student died by suicide.
