Project Title: Support for Children Impacted by Abuse and Trauma
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The support of the Hermanowski Family Foundation will allow Fall River Deaconess Home (FRDH) to support general operations and vital programming for child victims of abuse and trauma. FRDH\u2019s behavioral health services, holistic approach, and expanded community-based support increase health and wellness outcomes.<\/p>\n
An unaffiliated nonprofit agency, FRDH takes pride in providing comprehensive trauma-informed services that make a difference in the lives of 300 youth and families each year. FRDH\u2019s accreditation deems service delivery meets nationally recognized, high-performance standards. Over the last eighteen months, FRDH enhanced its response to increasingly complex cases by integrating the evidence-based Attachment, Regulation, Competency (ARC) intervention for treating complex trauma. The recent addition of a therapy dog further demonstrates FRDH\u2019s commitment to enhancing services.<\/p>\n
A comprehensive, holistic approach to treatment impacts outcomes. FRDH\u2019s emergency basic needs support provides food, grocery store gift cards, clothing, and travel vouchers for medical or court appointments. A haircut before a job interview or steel-toed boots for an internship can be lifechanging. Barriers are reduced, and youth empowered to take the next steps in their treatment and education. <\/p>\n
FRDH\u2019s respite care exemplifies its commitment to responding to unmet needs. Situations arose where youth were placed in foster homes due to lack of alternatives (e.g., a parent required hospitalization and didn\u2019t have a support system to care for the minor children). Once in placement, 78% of youth spend more than six months there; 62% spend more than a year. FRDH responded by expanding community-based services to include overnight respite, enabling families to remain together.<\/p>\n
Measurable results demonstrate that FRDH\u2019s services impact health and wellness of vulnerable youth. The support of the Hermanowski Family Foundation will allow FRDH to continue to provide vital programming that builds skills and tools for youth and families to succeed and reach their full potential. <\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $10,613,426<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): FRDH is primarily state-funded and has a solid history of financial operations. Many of the supports FRDH provides are not allowable expenditures under state funding guidelines. Since Maureen Philbin assumed leadership of the organization three years ago, she and the board are working hard to increase and diversify income streams to allow the organization to respond to unmet needs of youth, families, and communities and to continue to provide and enhance programming that improves outcomes for high-risk youth. Funding for the emotional support dog was secured through the Charlotte Helen Bacon Foundation ($1,500); for expanded community support through Walmart ($1,000), Bob\u2019s Furniture ($1,000), The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust ($2,500) and Bristol County Savings Bank Charitable Foundation ($7,500); for basic needs support through the Fall River Women\u2019s Union ($2,000), United Way of Greater Fall River ($2,500) and Rotary Club of Fall River ($1,000); for youth activities through Rockland Trust ($5,000), Bristol County District Attorney\u2019s Community Funding ($1,000), Truesdale Health Foundation ($1,000) and New Bedford Day Nursery ($2,500); for a capital project through a legislative grant ($125,000) and the John W. Alden Trust ($20,000). FRDH has outstanding requests to GroMoreGoods, the United Way of Greater Fall River, Orville W. Forte Charitable Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield Special Initiative and BayCoast Bank.<\/p>\n
