A message from our CEO

2 Spring 2013 n New Heights n Mid-South

I was recently reminded of a time not too long ago, before

Youth Villages came into being.

I was appointed to manage a small youth residential

facility east of Memphis named Dogwood Village. I was

young, right out of school, and wasn’t sure what to expect. I

had worked and volunteered for years at child welfare and

treatment organizations and in the juvenile justice system.

So I knew what the children would be like.

But the business of running the center was new to me,

and the responsibilities sometimes seemed overwhelming. It seemed as if

every day brought a new crisis or some new twist in rules, and it would take a

lot of time to make sure things were taken care of properly.

I remember that, but I also remember how much help I had.

I had staff who supported me and did what was needed – many of them are

still with Youth Villages today. But I also had people in the community such as

business leaders, court employees, judges, carpenters and other civic-minded

people who saw to me and made sure I was getting the most out of the small

reimbursement stream we were getting at the time.

It was a great time, and without those who helped me, Youth Villages surely

wouldn’t be what it is today. In the Mid-South, our support from individuals,

community and corporate partners is critical. Only with your help can we

reach more children.

Many years ago, I didn’t know Youth Villages would be what it is today. When

I began, I just wanted to help children, and with like-minded folks on my

side, we were able to help more every year. Now we have clear evidence that

our Evidentiary Family RestorationTM approach is the most effective for our

country’s troubled children.

With your continued help, I know Youth Villages’ future path will be to help

more children and families who need our life-changing care.

A successful future depends on the support and assistance of you and others in the community

A Day on the Hill

The leadership team

from Youth Villages

joined YV CEO Patrick

Lawler in meetings

with state legislators at

the Capitol as part of

Youth Villages Day on

the Hill. Partnerships

with Tennessee’s De-

partment of Children’s

Services have allowed

Youth Villages to do

great things for chil-

dren and families and

have served as a guide

for our work in other

states.

We’re asking the

state to expand funding

of our transitional liv-

ing program, allowing

us to help serve every

young person in Ten-

nessee who ages out

of foster care or state

custody or who needs

help during the transi-

tion years.

YV5K Jackson raises $4,000

More than 80 runners

braved the snow and

cold weather to partici-

pate in the third annual

YV5K in Jackson, Tenn.,

in March, raising more

than $4,000 for Youth

Villages’ programs.

Microsoft has awarded a grant of more

than $7.4 million

in software and

technology to

Youth Villages,

one of the nation’s largest providers of

help to children with emotional and be-

havioral problems and their families.

The grant is part of Microsoft’s Youth-

Spark initiative, which is designed to

create opportunities for 300 million

youth around the world. It will provide

software and support on Youth Villages’

residential campuses, supply technology

for young adults being helped through

its transitional living program and

improve the organization’s internal and

external communications systems.

“Microsoft is one of our most impor-

tant partners,” said Patrick Lawler,

Youth Villages CEO. “Since 1997, their

generosity has allowed us to provide the

best computer technology to our kids.

This grant means Microsoft’s total sup-

port of Youth Villages’ children comes to

nearly $13 million, which has helped our

youth learn computer skills and allowed

us to support our staff with modern clini-

cal records and office technology.”

The grant allows children receiv-

ing help at schools on Youth Villages’

residential campuses to use the latest

Microsoft software and curriculum to

improve their computer literacy and

learn the fundamentals of word pro-

cessing, spreadsheets, the Internet and

presentations.

Intercept family intervention specialists provide services to the family, rather than just to the youth, meeting with families an average of three times weekly and remaining on call 24/7. We tailor services to meet each family’s needs, while measuring treatment progress through ongoing assessment and review. Specialists

collaborate with other providers, case workers and courts to formulate a collaborative treatment plan. Small caseloads – four to six families – allow our family intervention specialists to focus on the individual needs of each child and family we serve.

Getting Rodney the right things


The difference was staggering.

Even people outside the home no-

ticed the change for the better.

Here’s Rodney playing football,

sitting in class without disrupting, be-

ing respectful to his teachers and his

mother. But mom remembers the near

decade before this change.

“He could go from zero to 10 super-

quick,” his mother, Kimbella, said.

“People told us it was him just being a

teenager, or it was just him acting out.

But I know Rodney, and it wasn’t him.”

Youth Villages Family Intervention Specialist Zaneta Barnett’s first priority was to get Rodney set up with a physician.

The family found out Rodney’s bipo-

lar disorder could be treated effec-

tively with proper medication, which

almost eliminated his behavior issues

of physical and verbal aggression.

“Many of his other behavior issues

still had to be dealt with after we

addressed the medication,” Zaneta,

whom they called “Miss Z,” said.

“They’re a great family, and we need-

ed to go to the school and establish

that connection with them and also

establish some boundaries at home.”

Rodney’s outbursts before had many

times resulted in him getting what he

wanted. In a small apartment with five

family members, doing that meant

keeping the peace.

But Kimbella wanted something more – she wanted her son back.

“Now I can have a conversation with

him,” she said. “Now he goes to school

and football practice. He’s contemplat-

ing joining the debate team.”

Zaneta worked with the school, even

sitting in on some of Rodney’s classes,

to show both the school and Rodney

the level of commitment and support

he was receiving.

In return, as he earned the trust

of his family, Rodney began earning

more freedom. On those occasions

when he gets worked up, he uses re-

laxation skills he learned from Zaneta.

“I’m thankful it got better, and it’s

still improving,” Kimbella said. “Be-

tween the medication and Youth Vil-

lages, he’s improved so much.”

Rodney also has a mentor and plans

to participate in track and field. At 15,

he still has issues from time to time,

but it’s different – now he’s just being a

teenager.

“Youth Villages was the best thing that ever hap-pened to him,” Kimbella said. “And I don’t know where I’d be without Youth Villages.”

“They are a great family,” Zaneta

said. “Once Rodney saw the amount of

support for him, he began to hold him-

self accountable and he’s accomplished

a lot in a small amount of time.”

Rodney, left, with his mother, Kimbella. Rodney received intensive in-home services to address behavior issues, but the bigger issue was finding proper medication to treat the root cause of his behavior.

ore than 50 restaurants and caterers participated in this year’s Soup Sunday event, raising more than $73,000 to benefit Youth Villages’ programs. More than 20 years ago, Danny Sumrall and Mike Warr organized the first event in downtown Memphis. Since its inception, Soup Sunday has raised more than $1

million to benefit Youth Villages’ programs. This year’s event featured food trucks for the first time, with trucks from YoLo, Central BBQ, Memphis Munchies and Rock ‘n’ Dough Pizza Co.

Soup Sunday biggest ever!

A ‘new’ cAr!

When the Youth Villages family first moved into

their new apartment, they needed beds. Their

previous apartment became infested with bed bugs,

and they had to dispose of all their bedding.

Ashley Furniture provided three twin beds,

frames, box springs and mattresses for the fam-

ily. The Beds for Kids Program provides beds to

children of single-parent families who are without.

Since 2006, Beds for Kids reports they have provid-

ed more than 950 beds to children.
