MessageFrom the Executive Director

I have been privileged to serve as the Executive Director of Transitions for the past 24 years. My role as Executive Director will soon come to an end, as I am retiring in early September, 2017. This message is written with bittersweet feelings – a sense of pride in our accomplishments this year and over the past 24, and a sense of loss as I leave a position and people I have so enjoyed.

This past year we obtained our state license to provide substance abuse treatment services. These services will enable us to meet the needs of those who have co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues. We also have strengthened our relationships with primary care providers in the community in order to continue integrating our behavioral health services with primary health services. We have been a very active partner in the development of a Mental Health Court in Adams County, a court that will promote treatment for those who have a serious mental illness and who come into contact with the judicial system. All of these activities will “make a positive difference” in the lives of those we serve – and result in better outcomes.

I leave Transitions knowing that the agency is in “good hands”. The administrative staff are an experienced team of professionals, who are very dedicated to the mission of the organization, and our direct care staff are among the very best. I thank the Boards of Directors, the staff, and very importantly, you, our donors and friends, for your great support these past 24 years.

Michael ReinExecutive Director

“... these accomplishments will make a positive differencein the lives of those we serve”

Josh* came to Transitions after struggling with depression and alcohol abuse issues. He participated in counseling services with one of our behavioral health staff. While involved in counseling, he expressed an interest in employment. Thus, he was also referred to our Individual Placement and Support (IPS) program. The IPS staff listened to Josh’s hopes and dreams regarding employment, assessed his skills and strengths, and helped him overcome some barriers that had prevented successful employment. After a period of time, Josh was offered a position in a local restaurant. When he began his job, his IPS counselor supported him and encouraged him and his therapist at Transitions did the same. Now, one year later, Josh maintains his employment … has maintained sobriety … and has moved into a nice apartment. He is proud of his accomplishments and his independence. He no longer comes to Transitions as he now has the skills to manage employment, his sobriety, and whatever life brings him!

“  I  never  thought  I  would  have  a  job  – I  love  working  …  and  “    

We  help  our  consumers  find  jobs  in  the  community  that  will  match  their  interests  and  abilities.

Anna* was five months old when she was enrolled in our Infant and Toddler program. Anna’s father, Jim*, was a single father overwhelmed with sole custody of Anna. He worked early in the morning until mid afternoon, so one of our parent educators met weekly with Jim and Anna after his work shift ended. With suggestions from the Parent Educator, Jim worked with Anna, and she quickly began to roll and crawl. She started walking with ease at 13 months of age. Today, at 26 months of age, Anna is running, jumping, and loves to paint and paste. She and her father are still seen weekly because of a slight speech delay, but she will soon be referred to pre- school - ready to succeed!

“Ever since starting the program Inoticed Anna* was much more calm

and ready to learn. Thanks forhelping my little girl learn!”

Andy*, who is severely intellectually/developmentally disabled, came to live at our group home three years ago, after living for almost 40 years in institutional settings. His parents, who live in the Quincy area, were delighted to have him in Quincy so that they could visit him regularly and include him in their lives. Andy is severely developmentally disabled and is non- verbal. He communicates his wants and needs using gestures. Using pictures, staff in the group home worked with him to learn the word mom. When his mother came to visit one day, he touched her hand and said “mama”. His mother tearfully told the staff what a special gift it was to hear him say her name.

“It was the first time my son has ever called me ‘mama’ … it was a special gift!”

The recipient of the Williams Award for 2016 was Toni Park, Supervisor of MI Residential and Vocational Services. She has been employed by Transitions for six years. Nominated by her peers, Park was described as upbeat, hopeful, and solution- focused. Her commitment to those Transitions serves, and the staff with whom she works, is unmatched. She approaches her work with the attitude that the care provided to those the agency serves should be up to the standard she would want for her family.

Park was recognized for doing an outstanding job of enhancing the quality of life of those, who have a serious mental illness, by finding ways to engage them in meaningful activities. She develops strong relationships, not only with our consumers, but with consumers’ families.
