Project Title: Emergency Foster Shelter
Project Description:

Grandma’s Place operates an emergency foster shelter program for children who have been victims of abuse or neglect, operating 24 hours/7 days a week, 365 days per year, with caring wake staff around the clock. The program provides much-needed care with on-site therapies provided by independent contractors in the following disciplines: speech, physical, occupational, psychological counseling, and other therapies as needed. The shelter has a capacity of 16 children per night and is licensed for children age birth -12. It is the ONLY emergency residential shelter in Palm Beach County for both boys and girls ages birth through 12, which is vital as the majority of abuse victims are younger than 6.

Children remain at the shelter for periods from one day to over a year, until it is safe for them to live with relatives or find a loving adoptive or foster home. We provide each child with a Case Plan that addresses their physical, emotional, social, and educational needs for the duration of their stay. A quarterly meal plan is developed by a registered dietician staff to ensure proper nutrition. School-aged children attend local public schools, and our staff coordinates with the school to assure that each child’s educational needs are being met.

Art lessons and music therapy sessions are held weekly as a comprehensive and effective tool to reduce feelings of loss, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and helplessness that are often associated with abuse and homelessness; and promote self-expression, interpersonal communication, and scholastic excellence. Children have tremendous resiliency; many children who have suffered abuse or abandonment become successful, healthy adults with relatively few problems. The more protective factors and resources that are available, the more likely these children will overcome adversities and obtain positive outcomes.

Project Title: Project SUCCESS/Crossroads Mentoring Program
Project Description:

The goal of Project SUCCESS/Crossroads (PSCR) is to provide students in K-12th grade, identified as "at-risk" by school personnel, with emotional support and practical skills needed to identify and develop personal character and resiliency, succeed and graduate from high school, and cope with life’s challenges. Students are referred to program for academic, behavioral, and social issues. 31 schools participated in PSCR during 2020-2021. The objectives of PSCR are for students to improve coping and communication skills; increase ability to handle stress; resist negative peer pressures; and, increase understanding of drug and alcohol use.

A highly trained mentor, with a bachelor level degree or higher is placed in a school, one/two days per week. Mentors work with students through three main activities: mentoring small groups of students, working one-on-one with students, and providing classroom based resiliency programs. Through PSCR, student mentees receive emotional support from mentor; establish positive relationships; work to improve behavior; and, develop life skills such as goal setting; anger management; and, resistance to peer pressure. During COVID-19, these activities have been altered.

Mentors utilize following strategies to implement PSCR:
 Work closely with school staff to ensure program is established at each school and enhance each school’s efforts to improve school climate.
 Act as advocates and facilitators for students with issues that impede their academic, personal success, physical, and mental health.
 Meet with student mentees regularly to identify and address their needs.
 Facilitate prevention education sessions if issues arise that extend beyond small group setting and may impact school community.
 Train and consult on prevention issues with school staff, refer, and follow-up with students when substance abuse treatment or mental health services are needed.
 Coordinate with members of academic team, caregivers, and other social service agencies to address concerns of student mentees.

Total Project Budget: 453,260.87 (The total project budget amount listed is the 2020-2021 fiscal year amount. The 2021-2022 budget will be reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors in June, 2021. CHC expects the budget to be similar, but slightly higher to adjust for inflation.
