AID Holds First Art Exhibition: “Never Underestimate the Power of a Person” On Friday, June 14, AID partnered with Water Street Studios (Batavia) to present the “Never Underestimate the Power of a Person” Art Exhibit. A one-night-only showcase featuring artwork created by clients from the AID Creative Expressions Group.
Members of the AID Creative Expressions group meet weekly to create group projects, which are reflective of the triumphs and struggles they have endured. The members of the group utilize various artistic techniques to process and reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, develop social skills, and improve their overall mental health. The focus and goal of the Creative Expressions group is to educate, inform and increase awareness of the strengths and abilities of individuals who work beyond, strive, and conquer stigmas associated with mental illness; through the support of family, friends, professionals and their communities.
LETTER FROM AID PRESIDENTDear Friends,
Wow! I can’t believe that I am wrapping up my first six months as AID President and CEO (and I’ve actually been on staff since October 1, 2018)! It has been an amazing journey so far:
Lore BakerAID CEO/President
• 6 Staff Appreciation Breakfasts, held in six different locations where AID staff were celebrated for the great work that they do every day, more than 300 staff members attended
• 4 Meet & Greet events where parents, guardians, clients and community members could meet me plus learn about a variety of supports, programs and financial resources in their communities
• Fantastic Annual Meeting where we recognized the many accomplishments of AID clients and staff
• Successfully advocated for Capital Funds for AID in the State of Illinois Capital Bill (stay tuned for information about what we plan to do with these funds)
• Completed one-on-one meetings with AID Board Members to get their input on the direction that AID should be going
• Cemented collaborative partnerships with Public Housing Authorities, Health Care Providers, Mental Health Providers, Homeless Service Systems, Funders, Affordable Housing Developers and more
• Sought to create new partnerships with the Aging Services Network, Children’s Programs and other pertinent potential partners
• Hosted Illinois Senators Ellman, Castro and DeWitte for site visits
• Represented AID at countless meetings, trainings, conferences and summits
• Met thousands of clients, staff, parents, guardians, funders, government officials and community members.
I’m so glad that I’ve been given the opportunity to be part of such an amazing organization! As we look to the last six months of the calendar year, we will begin an inclusive Strategic Planning process — keep an eye out for information about how you can participate; kick off an agency-wide Harm Reduction Training initiative; and centralize our intake process to make it easier for families and people seeking services to get connected to the services they need. I thank everyone for how welcoming you have been and ask for your continued support as we maintain and improve AID.

University of Missouri (Mizzou) Students Volunteer at AIDInstead of taking a Spring break from studies, students from the University of Missouri participated in an “Alternative Break”. From Monday, March 25 through Friday, March 29, 2019, Mizzou students’ entire days were filled with cooking and craft classes with AID clients, cleaning AID residential locations, helping clients bake dog biscuits, planting vegetables in the client garden and many more engaging activities.
AID appreciates this group of bright, positive and charitable students who committed their entire Spring break to brighten the lives of the individuals we serve.
AID offers volunteer opportunities throughout Kane County for individuals and groups who want to make a positive impact in their community. To connect to a volunteer experience, contact Maureen Spradlin, Volunteer Coordinator at (630) 966-4020/[email protected].

AID McHenry Area Services Highlight New & Updated Programs
AID Mental Health services continue to improve and expand in McHenry County. A complete revamp of the Woodstock based ”Drop-in” Center, a center for daily client events, is now underway. As of June 2019, the “Drop-in” Center includes Wellness Recovery Action Plan® (WRAP®) programming. WRAP® is a self-designed prevention and wellness process that anyone can use to get well and stay well. WRAP® helps individuals discover their own simple and safe wellness tools. The “Drop-In” Center and WRAP® is managed by AID Mental Health Professional/Certified Recovery Support Specialist, Debby Dillon. For more information, contact Debby at [email protected] or call (630) 450-1216.
McHenry County programs also include Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR). PSR offers counseling interventions to assist individuals in developing and refining life skills. PSR services began in March 2019 and are currently offered two days a week. In August 2019, PSR will increase to three days a week in McHenry. In addition, the Family Therapy Program and Child and Adolescent Services launched in January 2019 and has served more than 35 families in McHenry County.
AID Employment Specialists attend National APSE Conference
AID Employment Specialists recently attended the week-long 2019 National Association of People Supporting Employment (APSE) conference in St. Louis, MO. AID attendees included Carrie Flynn, Certified Employment Professional (CESP); Courtney Littlejohn, Individual Placement and Support (IPS)/Employment Specialist; and Terri Nelles, CESP. The event focused on fully integrated and customized employment; how to engage businesses in understanding the value of a diverse and inclusive work environment; and discussions on ending subminimum wages for people with disabilities.
The seminar included daily keynote speakers and multiple breakout sessions to cover a variety of topics, including: ‘Casting Your Net to Engage Employers’; ‘Reverse Job Fairs’; ‘Employment First – A New Day for Day Services’; and ‘Partnering with Families in Each Phase of the Employment Process’. AID attendees gained a wealth of information on best practices in the world of Employment First. As the Chair of the National Council which certifies Employment Specialists, Terri co-presented a breakout session on how Employment Specialists can become CESP certified through an exam process.
AID attendees are eager to share their newfound knowledge with co-workers and apply these skills in supporting individuals in employment. Employment First. Employment For All.

AID Hosts Annual Meeting & Awards Night 2019The 2019 AID Annual Meeting & Awards Night was held on Wednesday, May 15 at the Eagle Brook Country Club in Geneva, IL. The award presentation honored outstanding clients, dedicated staff and generous community supporters. The prestigious event was open to the public.
The ceremony began by recognizing retiring AID Board Member Tanya Meyers for her three years of dedication and service. Mrs. Meyers served on the AID Fundraising Committee and most recently opened her beautiful home to host a celebration of the successful AID Capital Campaign. Patrick Flaherty, Immediate Past Chairman of the AID Board, was honored for his 10 years of service and AID client advocacy.
During the presentation, AID President Lore Baker highlighted multiple organizational achievements from the previous year including an increase in staff wages and the expansion of supportive housing and employment opportunities for AID clients. Aramark (Aurora) and Liberty Lanes (Carpentersville), two local businesses who employ AID clients, received special awards for their dedication and commitment to employing individuals with disabilities.
24 AID clients were celebrated throughout the event for their accomplishments during the previous year. These individuals demonstrated an excellent work ethic and made gainful strides in their wellbeing and individual development.
The event concluded by honoring two retiring AID staff members. Terry Cremer, Director of Client, Family and Community Supports, was celebrated for her 33 years of services. Terry has been a true role model at AID. She was a strong client advocate and always assured families that AID is the right choice for their family member. Mike Miller, Director of Property and Fleet Management was recognized for his 44 years of service to AID. Mike built an exemplary career on determination, expertise, staff collaboration, patience and a strong work ethic. Both Terry and Mike have been invaluable members of the AID family and will truly be missed.
