MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER

REFLECTS THE RECOGNITION OF

OUR COLLECTIVE RESpONSIBILITy

TO MOBILIzE WELL-THOUGHT OUT

CHANGE WITHIN THE BROADER

SySTEM AND TO COMpLEMENT THAT

CHANGE WITHIN THE CENTRE.

The service system is undergoing significant change as efforts are made collectively to increase the accessibility of mental health services to individuals and families. Grif-fin Centre is pleased to participate in any efforts which are geared towards stream-lining the system of service delivery and enhancing partnerships between govern-ment and service providers to achieve better outcomes for individuals with mental health needs and their families. Griffin Centre’s clients typically need to access a range of services and sectors, (e.g. children and youth, adult mental health services, child welfare, youth and adult justice, and developmental services). We are, therefore, particularly committed to working towards ensuring that changes in one service sector align effectively with changes in other ser-vice sectors so that new barriers to service are not inadvertently created. With the pending closure of Thistletown Regional Centre in March of 2014, Griffin Centre has been planning for the reloca-tion of its on-campus group homes. With the support of the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, we have been successful in securing two new community-based group homes. One is now fully operational and the other home is currently being renovated, to be ready for occupancy in March. Our cli-ents and staff are very pleased to have the opportunity to participate more fully in the community as they develop new skills and build on their strengths. We are also excited to announce that Griffin Centre, in partnership with Delisle Youth Services, was chosen by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to assume responsibility for the Thistletown MERGE and VALTA programs. Griffin Centre is now responsible for the current VALTA Program (three Section 23 Day Treatment classrooms for youth with a dual diagno-sis from Halton, Peel, York, and Toronto Regions). Delisle Youth Services is respon-sible for the current MERGE Program (two Section 23 Day Treatment classrooms for youth with mental health issues from the same regions).

In 2013, Griffin Centre was asked to admin-ister new funding, on behalf of the Ministry of Community and Social Services and our community partners, to support adults with a developmental disability and their fami-lies/unpaid caregivers in situations which are unexpected, temporary and time-limited. The funds are accessible to service providers to support individuals (other than those in residential care) with tempo-rary needs and are intended to maintain and sustain the individual’s living situation. Referrals are to be directed to DSO TR to determine eligibility. Griffin Centre will then support the development and implementa-tion of a temporary supports plan and will reimburse service provider partners for approved expenditures made on behalf of adults with developmental disabilities. The Board and staff at Griffin Centre very much value our excellent relationship with both Ministries and are grateful for the trust we have secured over time to provide much needed services on their behalf and in part-nership with other key stakeholders. We also would like to extend a warm THANK YOU to staff at Griffin Centre for their extraordinary efforts through the ice storm. The storm hit many people very hard including the Centre’s offices and group homes where power was off for extended periods, communication sys-tems experienced challenges and decisions needed to be made to relocate clients to alternate sites. Thank you to our service staff for your inno-vative management of this crisis by working across teams to accommodate all clients safely, for welcoming unexpected guests in our other sites and for making this a man-ageable experience for everyone. Thanks to our administrative team for brav-ing the cold in our head office and for their many efforts to get our systems up and run-ning or important tasks attended to during the power outage. It is through experiences like this that we see the values of the agency embodied in the actions taken by staff to support those we serve and each other … because at Grif-fin Centre EVERYBODY COUNTS.

AND SERVICES

yOUTH/FAMILy SUppORT SERVICES (yFSS): Support for youth (12 to 18 years) and families dealing with conflicts and concerns at home, in school or in the community. For youth with emo-tional or mental health challenges which may be accompanied by a mild developmental disability.

DAy/SCHOOL SUppORT SERVICES (DSSS): A therapeutic program with an individualized aca-demic component for youth (12 to 18 years) whose needs exceed the capacity of the school system (i.e., youth with substance use concerns, developmental disabilities, and mental health challenges or youth with a dual diagnosis (mild-moderate developmental disability and mental health challenges) who may also have challenging behaviours.

RESIDENTIAL SUppORT SERVICES (RSS): A range of 24-hour residential supports and services for youth (12 to 18 years) with a dual diagnosis (i.e., mild to moderate developmental disability and mental health challenges) in community based settings.

We rely on your contributions to continue our commitment to enriching the lives of the people we serve. With your support, we can reach more people and create more opportunities for youth and adults with mental health challenges and/or developmental disabilities.

MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER6 GRIFFIN CENTRE ANNUAL REPORT 2013 7

Effective March 31, 2014 the provincial govern-ment will close Thistletown Regional Centre. To that end, the Ministry of Children and Youth Services engaged community-based children and youth mental health centers in a Request for Proposals process to take over specific services currently being offered directly by the Ministry and Thistletown.

Griffin Centre and Delisle Youth Services submit-ted a joint proposal and were the successful candi-dates. Griffin Centre assumed responsibility for the current VALTA (Vocational, Academic, Life-Skills and Treatment for Adolescents) Program and Delisle Youth Services assumed responsibility for the current MERGE (Multi-Education Re-entry Growth Experience) Program.

VALTA’s new home is York Humber High School and includes three specialized classrooms, each complemented with a TDSB teacher and has the capacity for 7 students per classroom. 7 Child and Youth Workers work alongside the teachers to blend academics with treatment to meet the needs of each individual.

The program also has access to a team of con-sultants: Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Pathologist and Behaviour Therapist. Youth work with the service team to meet their individual academic, treatment and vocational goals.

The services are designed to help each youth meet their potential in the areas that they have outlined as important to them.

Our staff provide a safe and predictable environment for the youth to focus on life and social skills while working towards a greater level of independence. Youth currently in the program feel welcome in the school. They are adjusting well to their new environment and are making friends not only with their classmates but with other students in the school.

GRIFFIN CENTRE & DELISLE YOUTH SERVICES MOVE

FORWARD TOGETHER

VALTA is a section 23 Day Treatment Program for youth

13 to 18 years of age who have complex emotional,

social and educational needs resulting from

developmental disabilities, mental health

diagnosis, a dual diagnosis, learning

disabilities, MID and/or a

diagnosis under the Autism Spectrum.

“I feel safe and

people accept me

for who I am here.”

Peter is a student at VALTA, he is a quiet and shy young man who usually gravitates to staff as he feels more comfortable in their presence. He has a history of being bullied by other kids in his previous school experience and this fear remains very close to the surface for Peter. As a result, he was out of school for a full year.

Peter has been at VALTA since December and has already shown great improvement. He tells us: “I feel safe and people accept me for who I am here."

We know that Peter will continue to flourish in the upcoming months as we move forward together to reach his goals.

Griffin Centre is pleased to be able to expand and enhance the continuum of services already offered by the Centre for youth with a dual diagnosis. We are also excited about the opportunity to liaise with other regions beyond Toronto and work with the Boards of Education and local agencies in those communities to support these young people and their families.

GRIFFIN CENTRE CELEBRATES

BEFORE & AFTER HOPECREST OPEN HOUSE RENOVATION

Griffin Centre celebrated the opening of our newest group home, Hopecrest in September. Hopecrest provides a range of 24-hour residential care and support services for youth with a dual diag-nosis (i.e. mild to moderate developmental disability and mental health challenges) in a community based setting.

The residence opened its doors to neighbours and service partners giving them an opportunity to tour the home and learn more about the program. Hopecrest has a big beautiful back yard and visitors often commented on how Hopecrest defied their preconceived ideas of a “group home”.

All agreed that it felt much more “homey” than they had expected!

We were extremely fortunate to have a wonderful group of volunteers help make Hopecrest beautiful for the Open House. A group of dedicated volunteers facilitated by our very own Lionel Boodlal (Residential Support Worker) spent the day transforming the Hopecrest grounds!

What was once a front and back yard filled with untamed foliage, a worn out deck and uneven interlock is now beautifully landscaped with lovely greenery and flowers, a deck that looks as good as new and space for a basketball net. A heartfelt thank you to the all volunteers for their time and ex-pertise as well as our generous donors (Tony Morra at GEOTEC Landscape Supplies, Rob and Pino at Green FX Landscaping Inc., and Ron Piotrowski at Humber Nurseries Ltd) for the supplies and materials.

Griffin Centre’s 8th Annual Boat Cruse presented by Compass Creative Media was a memorable evening! Guests showed up smiling, eager to dance the night away. This year, our guests took the “GLOW – The Neon Edition” theme to a new level and dressed in the most creative and outrageous outfits we’ve ever seen! Guests boarded the Empress of Canada and kicked off the night with a mouth-watering dinner.

The program has been fortunate to col-laborate with The Scott Mission for over 5 years, providing volunteer experience opportunities for our students. The Scott Mission is an inner-city mission serving the needs of men, women, and children within the Metropolitan Toronto Area. Their various ministries offer support and provisions for the homeless, low-income families, and children and youth.The staff at The Scott Mission have pro-vided a welcoming, safe and supportive environment for our students such that they can get professional experience, interact with a variety of community members and gain a sense of pride by being able to give back to their commu-nity as a whole.

Students commit to volunteering at The Scott Mission each Friday for 4 months. When they finish their placement, stu-dents receive letters of reference from The Scott Mission outlining their contri-bution to the agency and highlighting their strengths and skills. Students work in the Distribution Department and en-gage in a variety of tasks including sort-ing food and products, organizing food bags for distribution to families, sorting through clothing, etc. At the end of each shift, students and staff are invited to join in a lunch prepared by The Scott Mission staff and volunteers.

The Scott Mission staff have been in-credibly friendly and personable in their interactions with our students and staff. The collegial atmosphere at Scott Mis-sion provides a welcome opportunity to not only improve one’s skills but also form unique friendships outside of the regular classroom environment.

MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER14 GRIFFIN CENTRE ANNUAL REPORT 2013 15

Over the last few years, Griffin Centre has undoubtedly “moved forward” and advanced our fundraising initiatives. The Centre now organizes two large scalefundraising events (Boat Cruise and AQUA) that continue to flourish year after year. Furthermore, Griffin Centre has also done great work in diversifying our funding. We have produced a number of successful applications for grants, corporations and foundations.

The additional funds allow us to implement and facilitate ad-ditional programming and services to better serve our clients. Another area that I believe we have “moved forward” is our social media and online presence. Our website is easy to navigate and provides comprehensive information on our services. Our supporters can easily make a donation online or even purchase tickets to our events!

Most notably, Griffin Centre’s Facebook page recently reached over 450 supporters and continues to grow each day! I can only imagine where we will be next year! jennifer, Coordinator, Executive Offices, Fundraising & Development 2.5 yrs

“I believe that in my close to seven years at Griffin Centre phenom-enal progressive moves have been made. I greatly appreciate the ef-forts and encouragement towards the eventual goal of being paper-less, and being responsive to our planet and making our contribution in keeping life fresh and green. To this effect the centralized client data base called ‘Client Record’ (CR) has enabled efficient client service and professional team coor-dination, and also documentation.A tremendous and relentless ad-vancement has been made towards embracing the “Everybody Counts” value through the series of in-house training opportunities regarding intersectionality and diversity.

This I believe has helped to en-hance the professional acumen to understand and practice the accep-tance of diverse collegial and client ethos amidst which Griffin Centre serves the larger and increasingly diverse communities. This is help-ing foster an organizational culture of valuing the inherent human di-versity in its own essence. I believe that this facilitates an organization-al climate which enables everyone to be stress free, and encourages individuals to address issues, and not endure them.

Lastly our intake process enables us to understand our clients in a comprehensive way prior to recommending/developing the treatment plan with a series of pre-intake steps such as pre-intake assessment meeting(s) to under-stand the client needs, Central-ized Intake Meetings (CIM), and

Integrated Case Planning (ICP) meetings, Program tours, and the Initial Planning Meetings (IPM). The outcome of these steps I believe is a realistic, client centered approach of addressing the identified challenges. As families and youth participate as partners in our different programs, the flexibility and accessibility of the services we offer is often identified as the corner stone by the families and youth we serve”.

Saba, Youth & Family Support Services | 6.5 yrs

Being a new member to Griffin Centre, I have had the opportunity to supervise 3 Day School Treat-ment programs, one of which is brand new to the organization, our elementary program at Lawrence Heights Middle School. I believe that Griffin Centre has “Moved Forward,” in expanding our day school supports to younger youth allowing us a better opportunity to treat these youth at the elementary level and really set them up for a smoother transition into Second-ary school. This provides the youth with more consistency in program-ming, it eases the worries of fami-lies as to how their children will be supported in the school system, and ultimately sets these youth up for success into the adult system.

We are building some great part-nerships through this process and with our dedicated and innovative staffing team, I know we will be able to provide continued quality school placements which will allow our youth to strive for success.

I feel Privileged to be a part of this organization.

jason, Supervisor, Day School Support Services (Youth) | 6 months

This year the Alternative Level of Care (ALC) and CAIR in partner-ship with Griffin Centre and CAMH provided an innovative approach in looking to help the system sup-port complex individuals in care. This initiative was offered to the Network of Specialized Care to develop a common language and approach in working with clients. I believe that this initiative has moved us forward as an orga-nization because it expands our collaborative approach which inevitably leads to better access and care for our clients.

Trevor, Supervisor, Transitional Support Services (Adult) | 20 yrs

In my years working with Griffin Centre in Residential Treatment Program, I have seen client’s im-provement in adapting to change the way they manage their behavior and social skills, which help them prepare in moving to a more inde-pendent residence. This is due to the consistency of implementation of each ndividual Program provided with them, training given to the staff to upgrade skills and knowledge and the continuous partnership with other agency as a team. This how I see Griffin Centre Moving Forward…
