WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR OUR CHILDREN. OUR WORK IS BUILT ON THREE PILLARS: SUPPORTING FAMILIES, SUPPORTING COMMUNITY AND SUPPORTING POSITIVE CHANGE. OUR CORE VALUES DEFINE US. WE VALUE EVERY CHILD AND FAMILY, EXCELLENCE, PARTNERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY. 0 0 223059 SUPPORTING FAMILIES:IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING DIRECT SUPPORT TO OVER 300 FAMILIES OF CHILDREN AND PROVIDING VIRTUAL RESOURCES TO ABOUT 3000 FAMILY MEMBERS, WE CONTINUED TO EXPAND THE POPULATIONS OF FAMILIES WE SERVE AND THE SETTINGS IN WHICH WE WORK WITH FAMILIES AND PARTNERS. WE BUILT ON OUR WORK WITH THE MISSISSIPPI STATE DEPART OF HEALTH EARLY HEARING DETECTION AND INTERVENTION (EHDI) PROGRAM AND DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED A PARENT SUPPORT CURRICULUM FOR PARENTS OF INFANTS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH HEARING LOSS/TRAINING. WE ALSO SUPPORTED THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CENTER IN LAUNCHING ITS DEVELOPMENTAL UNDERSTANDING AND LEGAL COLLABORATION FOR EVERYONE (DULCE) PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES OF BABIES SIX MONTHS AND YOUNGER WHO ARE EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE CHALLENGES. WE EMBEDDED A FAMILY PARTNER IN THE PROGRAM WHO PROVIDED DIRECT SUPPORT TO FAMILIES AND ASSISTED THE MEDICAL TEAM AND OTHER PARTNERS IN UNDERSTANDING AND ADDRESSING THE BARRIERS FAMILIES FACE. 223059 SUPPORTING COMMUNITY:WE DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED A TRAINING FOR PARENT PEER SUPPORT SUPERVISORS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH. WE ALSO DEVELOPED AND PILOTED A MORE IN-DEPTH TRAINING TO PREPARE STAFF TO INCORPORATE PARENT PEER SUPPORT INTO THEIR AGENCIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH REGION 6 MENTAL HEALTH CENTER. REGION 6 SERVES MOST OF THE DELTA AREA SO THIS WILL HELP ADDRESS BOTH WORK FORCE SHORTAGES AND LACK OF RESOURCES IN THAT AREA. WE EXPANDED OUR WORK WITH THE HINDS COUNTY CHILDREN COALITION AND HELPED WITH FOUR COMMUNITY CONVENINGS THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER YOUTH, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO PREVENT YOUTH FROM BECOMING INVOLVED IN THE YOUTH COURT SYSTEM. THIS WORK WAS SUPPORTED BY GRANTS FROM THE ANNIE E CASEY FOUNDATION. WE ALSO HELPED THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CENTER IN ECHOS RELATED TO CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH AND HELPING FAMILIES ADDRESS SCHOOL ISSUES. HENRY MOORE PROVIDED NATIONAL TRAINING ON FAMILY-DRIVEN PRACTICE. 111529 SUPPORTING POSITIVE CHANGE:WE WORKED STATE AND NATIONAL INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE HELPED FORM A SPECIAL EDUCATION COALITION TO ENSURE ALL OF THE GROUPS THAT SUPPORT FAMILIES WITH EDUCATION ADVOCACY WORK IN A COORDINATED WAY WITH EACH OTHER AND FAMILIES AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES FAMILIES AND CHILDREN FACE. WE HELPED IN ORGANIZING AND IMPLEMENTING THE LARGEST RECOVERY DAY EVER AT THE CAPITOL. THE DAY RESULTED IN MULTIPLE NEWS STORIES ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OVERDOSE PREVENTION AND LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS NONPROFITS TO DISTRIBUTE LIFESAVING NALOXONE TO FAMILIES AND OTHERS WHO NEED IT. WE ISSUED SEVERAL POLICY UPDATES ON HOW TO END MISSISSIPPI'S COMMON PRACTICE OF JAILING PEOPLE WHO NEED MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO LEGISLATORS WORKING ON RELATED BILLS. JOY HOGGE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MISSISSIPPI FAMILIES AS ALLIES, WAS APPOINTED TO MISSISSIPPI'S MEDICAID ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ALSO COMPLETED CERTIFICATION AS A PSYCHOLOGIST TO BE ABLE TO DO CIVIL COMMITMENT EVALUATION. WE BELIEVE THIS ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATION COULD HELP IN ADDRESSING MISSISSIPPI'S CRISIS OF JAILING PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY NEED TREATMENT. DR. HOGGE WAS ALSO ASKED TO SERVE ON A NATIONAL TASK FORCE THAT LOOKED AT HOW THE PRACTICES OF PSYCHIATRY AND PEER SUPPORT COULD BE BETTER COORDINATED. 557647 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 4 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 MS X THE ORGANIZATION 6013550915 840 EAST RIVER PLACE 500 JACKSON MS 39202 AMILE WILSON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GEORGE STEWART II PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAULA VAN EVERY SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STACEY SPIEHLER PRESIDENT ELECT 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAVA CHATMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE NICHOLS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PARTHENIA FIELDS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOY D HOGGE PHD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 87000 0 0 87000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 742059 226204 968263 968263 0 0 0 X 80000 72000 4000 4000 143454 138954 3750 750 49944 47447 1498 999 16668 15835 500 333 48410 48410 65801 59221 6580 52802 45366 7436 35318 33905 1059 354 10116 9104 1012 30982 30982 2118 2033 64 21 13832 13832 YOUTH COURT COALITION 102800 102800 652245 557647 88141 6457 45643 282005 19131 60282 54901 129812 14700 2178 153148 149019 5177 4129 17867 16754 157419 495160 36340 58063 36340 58063 X 121079 437097 121079 437097 157419 495160 316018 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 760144 543092 382455 379108 968263 3033062 760144 543092 382455 379108 968263 3033062 569329 2463733 5072 5072 3038134 0.81090 0.75410 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3983 3983 0 69165 65036 4129 80000 80000 0 4129 1007243 38980 38980 968263 0 968263 691225 38980 38980 652245 0 652245 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B A DRAFT OF FORM 990 IS SENT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA EMAIL.
