Not a lot of people would do that.” The cuts and bruises that Jacob suffered when his mother beat him faded after a couple of weeks, but his psychic wounds BUILDING A STRONGER took much longer to heal.

The 4-year-old boy, who spent time in foster care before a judge ordered him to live with the father he barely knew, suffered severe mood swings, nightmares and trance-like episodes that persisted for months. Jacob’s father, Gerardo, a former Marine, BOND recognized his son’s symptoms as signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and brought him to Didi Hirsch for treatment.

“It was clear to me that Jacob had PTSD from the hitting,” Gerardo says. “I had a lot of experience with it in the military because we’re trained to look out for it in our brothers, so when I saw it in my son, it was horrible.”

A Didi Hirsch therapist began holding weekly sessions with Gerardo and Jacob, working on relieving Jacob’s PTSD and building a stronger bond between father and son. The therapist also taught Gerardo some of the finer points of being a full-time dad, including how to respond when his son mentioned the beating or expressed fear of being hit again.

Two years later, Jacob is now a well- adjusted kindergartener who loves Disneyland, playing basketball at the park with his dad and supervised visits with his mom twice a week.

“From the time I got custody of him to now, Jacob seems completely different,” Gerardo says. “He’s no longer having nightmares and he doesn’t space out any more. He’s never going to forget that it happened, but he knows he’s safe, that it’s okay to talk about it and that his mom loves him. He’s moved on from it. He’s okay.” Didi Hirsch treated 706 abused children in 2013.

Michael C. Wierwille Board Chair Meet Didi Hirsch’s newest board member

For years, Los Angeles public relations and marketing consultant Lisa Petrazzolo watched her brother struggle with mental illness and the bigger systemic problems that went with it. “A lot of people with mental illness cycle in and out of hospitals with no transition or support,” she explains.

Lisa and her husband, movie and television producer Emile Gladstone, resolved to become mental health advocates and sought out a worthy organization to support. They connected with Didi Hirsch, she says, to get “a better understanding of what my brother has experienced and to make a difference for people who don’t have the means to get the help they need.”

Her interest in Didi Hirsch deepened, and she joined our Board of Directors with a mission to engage young supporters in the organization. “Young people have a strong voice and use social media to talk about what they stand for,” Lisa says. “Continuing to build the right support, community and friendships will help propel Didi Hirsch into the future.”

Lisa provides public relations and branding services for lifestyle, fashion and technology companies. A graduate of the University of Arizona, she interned for Senator John McCain and FleishmanHillard and then joined King World Productions in New York as a senior publicist. She also directed the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s “Stand Up to Cancer” campaign.

The couple is active in the arts, and she is a frequent visitor to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with her two toddlers. A major project for Lisa right now is overseeing the design and construction of the family’s new home. Didi Hirsch helps more than 78,000 children, FINANCIAL SUMMARY adults and families each year at 11 locations:
