The goal for group care is for each to be as home like as possible while at the same time serving as a therapeutic setting for the participants. There are five safe and secure group care homes that serve 50 adolescents who have severe emotional and behavioral challenges. Three homes are short term Residential Treatment Programs, two are Shelter Care sites. Fully licensed and accredited, these homes are equipped to care for six to twelve youngsters, ages 10 to 17. A team of highly trained residential care professionals provide nurturing, around the clock supervision. Services include individual, group and family counseling; academic and vocational assistance; independent living skills training; and recreational activities. Through individualized, innovative and flexible services the adolescents are given every opportunity to succeed and our staff encourages family participation in treatment. Ettie Lee also provides services to help youngsters as they transition to community living or to a lower level of care. In 22/23, Ettie Lee served 19 adolescents in our group home program. 1866059 The Foster Care Adoption Homes provide children and youth, infants to 21 years old with therapeutic and other support services they need to heal and achieve safety, permanency and well being. Children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected are placed in dually-licensed (foster and adoption), safe, loving homes. Many times siblings are placed together providing them a permanent place to live and thrive when their own families are not able to care for them. Whenever possible, family reunification is always the first option. Youngsters placed in Foster Care Adoption Homes receive specialized care tailored to meet their individual needs. These services include counseling, psychological testing, psychiatric services, and emancipation assistance. In addition, assessment and evaluation, individual, family and group therapy, individual and group rehabilitation activities, case management, medication support (psychiatric assessment and evaluation, medication monitoring) and psychological assessment are provided. Aftercare services are available following a child's movement to a permanent setting in order to provide continuity of care as needed. Ettie Lee's Intensive Treatment Foster Care (ITFC) program cares for children with serious behavioral problems, who would otherwise require group care placement, and enables them to live in a family setting. This program follows the same model as the Foster Care Adoption Program; however, ITFC offers intensified services for foster youth who need extra structure and support. ITFC places only one foster child in a home where the child has an individualized treatment program and the foster parents receive specialized training and professional support twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. 1409923 Ettie Lee Mental Health Programs extend to all of Ettie Lee programming - group care, foster care adoption and Ettie Lee's community based substance use disorder program and mental health services. The Mental Health Program is designed to meet the numerous mental health needs of children, youth and families. Mental Health Services are provided using trauma informed treatment and evidence-based practices that have demonstrated positive outcomes. Services in support of the child include individual, group and family therapy, psychiatric and medication support services, therapeutic behavioral services (TBS), transition and aftercare planning, and in-home and field-based services (including assessment, consultation, case management, individual and family counseling, crisis intervention). The Mental Health Program assists system-involved youth who are not likely to return to their homes to gain caring relationships and coordinated, culturally-responsive, trauma-informed support services to help them build a life worth living, establish safe, stable independent living arrangements and develop safe, stable adult relationships and social support system. All treatment programs are evidence-based. Most services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 110151 Therapeutic Behavior Services (TBS), an innovative program, was designed to meet the specific, targeted needs of children. TBS Coaches are called upon to help with motivating a child to get up in the morning to go to school, to introduce tools to manage anger and frustration, or to teach techniques to settle down and get homework done. Ettie Lee's TBS coaches work as a team with the children's families, foster parents and group care home staff to determine what interventions will be used to support each child's behavior change. The TBS staff use teaching, coaching, modeling, early intervention, and de-escalation techniques. TBS coaches, working with the youngsters and their caregivers on a one-to-one basis, help them avoid placement in a more restrictive, higher level of care and also help them transition to a lower level of care. 70497 Ettie Lee's Substance Use Disorders Program (SUDs) is certified by the State of California. Ettie Lee's SUDs Program serves the youth living in group care and foster care adoption homes and also children, youth and families living in the community who suffer from substance use disorders. The program, provided in English and Spanish and known as "Take a Step", seeks to treat the underlying causes of substance abuse, address family issues and provide positive support as the participants seek clean and sober lives. This program is based on a treatment approach that has demonstrated positive results with substance abusing teens. The "Take a Step" program is designed specifically for teens that can develop unhealthy coping strategies and addictive behaviors at a young age. Ettie Lee's "Take a Step" SUDs Program offers participants a structured platform that assists them in getting sober and staying sober. The six to twelve month treatment focuses on these fundamental areas: drug and health education, social and mental health development, family life skills, and AA/NA. Family involvement is very important. 259957 Ettie Lee's Transitional Housing Program Plus provides services to former foster youth who are or are at risk of being homeless. The program helps to address youth needs by providing safe affordable housing as well as a full range of support services designed to motivate youths to work toward their goals and dreams. The program offers youth ages 18 to 24 weekly case management, food and necessities, life skills workshops, emancipation funding, job readiness, financial planning, and educational assistance. 440605 6509931 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 116 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Kathryn Stannard 6269604861 5146 North Maine Avenue PO Box 339 Baldwin Park CA 91706 Ronald J Bateman Chairman 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 James Jay Smith Treasurer 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 John Barlow Secretary 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Walter Allen III Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Arias Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Norring Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joyce Wing Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Varnum President & CEO 40.00 X 196311 0 26276 Kathryn Stannard VP of Finance & Administration 40.00 X 100763 0 24503 297074 0 50779 2 0 1 0 Dr Clark Chen 2080 W Empire Ave Burbank CA 91504 Psychiatrist 110805 1 50000 7347742 115766 7513508 Other income 900099 1001 1001 1001 7514509 0 0 1001 249694 249694 226202 194871 28410 2921 4146369 3610074 517653 18642 17030 14180 2837 13 763457 639346 123525 586 364920 325692 37497 1731 43800 43800 30500 30500 317908 263673 52546 1689 130502 124349 6153 297814 203756 58940 35118 51474 46845 3833 796 269406 256990 12416 84717 84168 549 11731 8764 2967 9724 9724 168360 120877 47252 231 Repair and maintenance 377502 343557 28110 5835 Membership and dues 38135 38135 Licenses and fees 15164 13371 1793 Miscellaneous 4358 4358 7618767 6509931 1038307 70529 378798 112536 2304106 2841316 197697 235478 2690920 2541453 151291 149467 3031892 3338797 638663 742576 1870947 1978197 0 200000 2509610 2920773 X 480165 330118 42117 87906 522282 418024 3031892 3338797 -104258 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 7390354 7728846 6479485 5799410 7513508 34911603 7390354 7728846 6479485 5799410 7513508 34911603 34911603 12 12 14077 16120 6743 11053 1001 48994 34960609 0.99860 0.99850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18739 18739 18739 18739 18739 18739 18739 18739 18739 18739 1.00000 0 0 101356 101356 1469099 1430059 39040 1120465 1111394 9071 149467 X 7514509 0 7514509 0 7514509 7618767 0 7618767 0 7618767 Part V, Line 4: Ettie Lee classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of the gifts to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund.
