Spring 2017

t is with joy and gratitude that we celebrate Paula Paust and her twenty-five years of unparalleled

service to The Women’s Home. Paula’s leadership and commitment to The Home have enabled us to flourish and expand. In addition to our first apartment community, Jane Cizik Garden Place, last year Adele and Ber Pieper Family Place Apartments opened, providing the Houston community safe, affordable family housing and support services. We wish Paula well in her retirement and will always be grateful for her tireless efforts to ensure that The Home and its clients thrive.

We are proud to introduce Anna Dragsbaek as the new Chief Executive Officer of The Women’s Home. Anna brings many years of non-profit experience and a passion for empowering families to The Home. She has served women in a wide range of roles from working with rural women in West Africa to helping Texas women make smart decisions about healthcare. Anna joins us from The Immunization Partnership where she has been the President and Chief Executive Officer for the past 9 years. Above all, Anna believes in the power of women to build strong families and strong communities. She is honored to continue the legacy of

The Women’s Home in her new role as Chief Executive Officer, helping women in crisis regain their self-esteem and dignity. As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Women’s Home, we are in the midst of an exciting time of growth and change. With the recent addition of Adele and Ber Pieper Family Place and this fall, the Mabee WholeLife® Service Center, we are expanding into new areas of service for women and their families. With the ongoing support of our community, The Women’s Home is poised to impact more lives than ever through our unique programs.

Every individual gift of $1,000 or more given

from now through the end of the calendar year

will place you into the 2017 Leadership Circle

and also permanently on the amazing new

donor wall honoring Paula’s service at our 811

Westheimer facility. The centerpiece of the

wall is the 7 foot tall sculpture of the Emerging

Woman by artist Bill Meek, given to The Home by

a generous donor.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, it is an exciting time of growth and change for The Women’s Home. In this newsletter, we are proud to introduce you to Staci Young, our Chief Program Officer, and tell you about the launch of our Intensive Treatment program. There is also news of our first Triumph Luncheon and our Young Professional’s Annual Crawfish Boil, both wonderful events supporting The Home and bringing people together. Last fall we opened Adele and Ber Pieper Family Place and will soon open the Mabee WholeLife® Service Center.

After twenty-five years of exemplary leadership Paula Paust has retired, and Anna Dragsbaek has been named our new Chief Executive Officer. We celebrated Paula’s service with a

lovely party attended by family and many long-time friends of both Paula and The Home. We’ve included a few photos of the happy occasion. I am proud that The Women’s Home will continue a tradition of strong leadership committed to empowering women and their families.

Twenty-five years ago, Paula Paust began building on the foundation that Barbara Woodard created during her seventeen-year tenure as Executive Director of The Women’s Home. Barbara recognized that women having nowhere to turn needed more than housing. They needed services to help them move toward independence, services that addressed mind, body and spirit. Barbara created a successful rehabilitation program for women that,

under Paula’s leadership, has grown into an entire continuum of care from treatment to transitional and permanent housing. All our programming is about providing for and serving our clients. We are so grateful to our donors and volunteers for all the ways you support our work and our mission.

We are deeply grateful to Paula for her strength and leadership, her vision and passion. On a personal note, it has been my honor to work with her and serve alongside her for many years as a board member. We now welcome Anna to our family and look forward to entering this new era of The Women’s Home together.

The Women’s HomeBoard of Directors

2017

As part of our programming at The Women’s Home, we employ a Continuous Quality Improvement Plan to monitor the quality of services we provide to our clients. An examination of our 2015 admissions data revealed that the single largest barrier to acceptance into our program was our 60 day sobriety requirement for new program applicants. Based on this knowledge and the growing need for treatment services in our area, we removed our sobriety admission requirement and restructured our program to include a new intensive treatment phase.

In February of 2016, The Women’s Home began offering our newly designed Intensive Program: 8 of our 50 beds now offer women up to 89 days of intensive treatment. This phase has no sobriety requirement for admission and most program applicants arrive with a few days to a few weeks of sobriety. In addition, a majority of the clients are dually diagnosed with both substance and mental health issues. Our Intensive Program focuses on helping participants manage co-occurring disorders to establish mental stability and sobriety without relapse.

This program marks a new collaborative endeavor for us. Legacy Community Health Services is providing a full array of services to help our clients achieve complete well-being including primary and behavioral health treatment, physical wellness, and nutrition counseling. Santa Maria Hostel, Inc. is providing a part-time peer recovery coach to help prevent relapse as well as detox beds for those in need of detoxification prior to entering the program.

Since its inception, we have served 58 clients through our Intensive Program. 84% of our clients were mentally stable at discharge. 55% transitioned to our Supportive Residential Program. 100% maintained sobriety while in the program. These outcomes have exceeded our expectations and we look forward to helping more women break the cycle of substance abuse and mental illness in the coming years.

The Women’s Home received a generous grant from Houston Methodist’s Mental Health Initiative to help us launch this new program. We are immensely grateful for their support.

Building wholeness is a primary goal of The Women’s Home. Our trademarked WholeLife® Service Model is about serving and treating the whole person – not just one aspect that needs treatment. Over the last eighteen months Chief Operating Officer Mike Shirl has begun implementing that same WholeLife® approach with our staff in terms of how we deliver services as an organization. “All the services we offer are rooted in and based out of this model,” Mike says. “It informs everything we do at each of our locations with our clients and with each other.” (We have 49 employees at 5 buildings across 2 campuses.)

As a first step toward this change, we have started a program whereby case managers at different locations train each other on primary duties. This cross-training allows greater flexibility in meeting client needs and in enriching mutual support of staff across campuses to cover for conferences, trainings, vacation, and illness.

Additionally, it builds an interdependent network of mutual respect through shared knowledge, skills, and resources.

We are all interconnected at The Home, no matter what department we are in and no matter the physical location where we work. At the core, at the center of everything each staff member does is the client, serving the client. To that end, we don’t work for our department or our campus – we work for The Women’s Home. It’s about being mindful of the fact that everything we do is informed by this service philosophy of the whole life. It’s how we approach our work and our commitment to our clients.

The more we embrace the WholeLife® model as our treatment model and our agency-wide approach, the more our staff will become fundamentally integrated, and that will serve to make The Women’s Home a stronger, more dynamic organization.

Meet Staci Sewell Young, our Chief Program Officer at The Women’s Home. Staci joined The Home in March 2016. She has over 24 years of direct service and management experience in mental health services and over 14 years in leading collaborative projects in urban communities, specializing in start-up programs and program evaluation.

In her current role she provides leadership in overall program design, implementation, and program staff training. Staci is also responsible for guiding managers as they provide clinical, residential, and support services for our treatment, transitional, and permanent supportive housing programs, as well as future programming at the Mabee WholeLife® Service Center.

Prior to joining The Home, Staci was the director of College Bound from Birth, a comprehensive early

education intervention program of Collaborative for Children, based in several Houston urban communities. There she was responsible for overall program design, implementation, and evaluation of a multi-partner collaborative program.

Staci has been in non-profit administration in Houston for 14 years. Before moving to Houston, she worked for Community Mental Health Council in Chicago, IL, where she spent over 9 years working with children impacted by trauma and adult survivors of violent crimes. Simultaneously, she worked on a research project led by the University of Illinois, in a Chicago housing facility aimed at reducing HIV/AIDS. Earlier in her career, she worked in Boston, MA, providing comprehensive mental health services to children and families in both school and agency settings.

She holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology, both from Boston College, plus a certification in non-profit management from Roosevelt University, and is also a licensed professional counselor (LPC). We are thrilled to have Staci as part of our team.

The WholeLife® Approach across The Home

The Home’s New Intensive Program: Expanding Access to Our Services

In the fall of 2017 we will open the Mabee WholeLife® Service Center in Spring Branch. Through collaboration with other organizations, the Mabee WholeLife® Service Center will offer an array of services to help families grow and thrive. The Center will provide support not only for our residents of Family Place and Garden Place but also families in the surrounding community.

The Women’s Home is proud to have secured very competitive New Market Tax Credits (NMTC), City of Houston funds and private contributions including the Mabee Challenge grant to help fund the project. Blending the tax credits’ with our funds from the City of Houston was a first-of-its-kind approach for all parties involved: the City, some of our tax partners and The Women’s Home. This combination of funds has allowed us to ensure that the project is structurally and financially secure.

Healthcare services, provided by a Federally Qualified health center (FQHC) operated by the Spring Branch Community Health Center, will include prenatal and pediatric care, women’s health specialties and

adult healthcare. Services from the health clinic will be offered in both English and Spanish. The Health Center will also provide parenting classes, along with gang and drug use prevention and relapse prevention classes.

15,505 square feet of the Center has been dedicated as space for children including special spaces specifically designed for creative movement and the arts. With our partner, the YMCA of Greater Houston, we will provide after-school and summer day camp programming for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. These programs will support the learning goals of the Spring Branch Independent School District and Treasure Forest Elementary School.

The Center will feature a certified outdoor classroom, located in a secure 14,000-square-foot courtyard designed by Nature Explore staffed by teachers trained to lead gardening, nature science, and art classes.

Our facility will have space for on-site counseling as well as therapeutic and psychiatric services specially designed for families and children who have

experienced trauma. These services will be provided by staff from The Women’s Home in collaboration with DePelchin Children’s Center. We will also offer continued behavioral health services for adults in conjunction with our long-time partner, Baylor College of Medicine Psychiatric Department. The space for individual and group therapy along with case management totals approximately 500 square feet.

Memorial Assistance Ministries will offer adults English as a Second Language classes, GED courses, and continuing education classes. The WholeLife® Service Center will also provide a 30-user computer lab that clients can use for job searches, online coursework and other needs.

The Mabee WholeLife® Service Center was made possible in part by the City of Houston and the New Markets Tax Credit Program, Corporation for Supportive Housing, and Capital One. We are so thankful for the generous support of The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation along with our other sponsors listed below, without whom the Center could not happen.

In response to the need for an affordable environment in which families can thrive, The Women’s Home has completed the first phase of our two-part capital project to further develop a unique community for women and their families. On October 1, 2016, we opened Adele and Ber Pieper Family Place, our $17.8 million permanent supportive housing complex in Spring Branch. Family Place is Gold LEED certified, with 80 two- bedroom and 4 three-bedroom apartments – and all our units have been filled. Residents have access to laundry facilities, community meeting space, and an outdoor barbecue area and playground. Family Place is located on 2.3 acres of land at the corner of Jacquelyn Street and Hammerly Boulevard, within walking distance of our supportive housing complex for women, Jane Cizik Garden Place, and our soon to be complete Mabee WholeLife® Service Center. An elementary school, a bus line, shopping centers, and medical care are also within walking distance of Family Place.

The fastest growing segment of the homeless population are single women with children, so Family Place is a much-needed facility. There are two full time case managers on-site to assist our families who have faced chronic homelessness. These families have been accepted from area shelters and offered a home of their own.

Adele and Ber Pieper Family Place was made possible in part by the City of Houston and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs Housing Tax Credits Program, Hudson Housing Capital, Amegy Bank of Texas, and Covenant Community Capital. We are proud of this complex and the community we are creating there. We could not have built Family Place without the generous donors listed below.

WAVE DAYFor twelve years, The Women’s Home has been a fortunate

recipient of ExxonMobil’s WAVE (Women’s Annual Volunteer

Event) Day community effort. Once again this year on April

7th, over 100 volunteers spent the day with us, providing our

clients with valuable knowledge through workshops such

as Interview Skills and Preparation, Networking, Health &

Wellness, and Dress for Success. ExxonMobil brought inspiring

speakers along with a delicious lunch for all of our clients and

staff, and we were able to learn from their expertise – and they

from ours. WAVE volunteers also completed a site-specific

service project. This year they gave one of our conference

rooms a much-needed update. Finally, for every hour each

volunteer served, ExxonMobil makes a financial donation to

The Women’s Home. Thanks to ExxonMobil’s WAVE Day

volunteers, our clients received countless benefits that will

undoubtedly help them provide a better future for themselves

and their families. We are so grateful!

Last November we held our first Triumph Luncheon at the Royal Sonesta Houston hotel for 520 guests. We were

thrilled to be able to present awards to Diane Riley (Lifetime Achievement), Bank of America (Corporate Community

Support), Jackie Phillips (Leadership), and Ashley Brown Ruiz / The Daring Way (Program Excellence). Our keynote speaker

was New York Times best-selling author Amanda Lindhout who shared her powerful tale of survival and perseverance.

The luncheon was an unqualified success. We’d like to thank our outstanding event chairs Donae Chramosta, Kristen

McDaniel, Karen Kash Redden, and Jo Reid; our Jubilation sponsor, the Riley family (John and Diane, Tom and Lizabeth, Pat and Bea, Beth and Marcus St. Raymond); and all of our

fantastic sponsors and supporters.

Women’s AnnualVolunteer Event

Over 550 tickets were sold for the afternoon of April 1, a gorgeous day at West Alabama Ice House who generously hosted The Women’s Home Crawfish Boil once again. Brad Absher & Swamp Royale were on hand playing their groovin’ tunes, and we had more crawfish than even we could all eat! It was a wonderful event, and we are so grateful to event chairs Katy and Logan Boatman and Meaghan and JP Yorro; our host committee Zenobia and Darvell Bivens, Marcella Burke, Mark Carter, Jessica Castañeda, Matt Corbett, Joel Glover, Courtney Goldberg, Ashley and Kyle Lewis, Rachel and Alex Lopez, Courtney and Jeff Lyons, Kelly Sandill, Helen Shultz, and Barbara Vaughn. We’d like to recognize our Doubloon Sponsors Houston Methodist and the John P. McGovern Foundation and all of our fabulous sponsors.

Our 2017 Annual Crawfish Boil

Was a Rajun Success!

Tanya entered The Women’s Home in July of 2013 struggling with alcoholism along with multiple health problems. Isolated by illness and addiction, she felt abandoned by her parents and was estranged from her only sister. She came to The Home feeling as if the world was against her.

Tanya struggled to overcome her anxieties and connect with others. She also feared that her lack of work experience would make finding a well-paying job difficult. Fortunately, Tanya’s job search coincided with the opening of a position at a local business that suited her perfectly. Steady support from The Women’s Home staff helped Tanya find her footing and work through her apprehension about reentering the workforce – and daily life.

Tanya began making friends and attending AA meetings, gaining confidence from her independence and her newfound ability to build relationships. She also discovered that her AA sponsor, Janet, was a wonderful source of support. While Janet’s journey

was drastically different from Tanya’s, their bond through facing and overcoming addiction and hardship helped break down the walls of isolation Tanya had built.

After graduating from our treatment program at The Women’s Home, Tanya now enjoys living in her own apartment at our supportive housing complex, Jane Cizik Garden Place, in Spring Branch. She has flourished in her independent life, developing lasting friendships and reconnecting with her sister.

Tanya didn’t believe this transformation was possible before she came to The Women’s Home. The continuous care of The Home’s staff and holistic approach of our WholeLife® program helped her reclaim her life and flourish.
