He was placed atFoundation 2’s Youth Shelter and was given very clear expectationsby the Juvenile Court Officer: strengthen his family relationshipswhile at shelter, or be placed in treatment. John was at our shelterfor 2 weeks, but staff put him in leadership roles during his shelterstay and he thrived. John and staff initiated phone contact withhis family and supported his visits with his family at shelter. Johnresponded well and made regular positive progress at our shelter.He shared his story with other youth at shelter and demonstrated appropriate ways to handle negativesituations. John’s goal was to return to his family’s home. After 11 days in our shelter, he had a courthearing and with staff’s advocacy, John was able to return home. After being home for a few days, Johnvisited the shelter to thank Foundation 2 staff for their encouragement and support.*Names changed to protect client privacy.PAGE 4Foundation 2 FY2017 Annual Report

SUPPORTING THOSE WITH THOUGHTS OF SUICIDESarah* first connected with Foundation 2 through a call to our crisis center. When staff identified thatshe was very depressed and experiencing thoughts of suicide we offered to send counselors with MobileCrisis Outreach (MCO) to her home and Sarah agreed. When staff arrived at Sarah’s home they discussedSarah’s history including past Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and past experiences with thoughtsof suicide. Sarah told staff that she didn’t want to die, but that something in her life needed to change todecrease her emotional pain. Although Sarah didn’t have many supportive people in her life, her dog kepther company and helped her to feel calm. Foundation 2 staff spoke with Sarah about our Depression andAnxiety Support Group, agency therapists and referrals to other complimentary services in the community.Before staff left, they worked with Sarah to create a plan to keep herself safe for the rest of the day. Theyreminded her that she can call the crisis line any time that she needs support, and that Mobile Crisis Outreachcounselors will follow-up with her tomorrow. Sarah stated that she felt relieved knowing that she couldaccess immediate in-person help if her thoughts of suicide returned. The next day she ended her follow-upcall by telling staff, “I felt really overwhelmed, thank you for being there.”*Names changed to protect client privacy.www.foundation2.orgFoundation 2 PAGE 5
