VALUING INTENTIONAL GROWTH

A t Metropolitan, we value growth, especially intentional growth. 2018 has been a year of new and extended opportunities. That began with several new leaders who have joined our ranks and are making waves for families across Chicagoland and DuPage County, forging new and extending existing partnerships with nonprofits, businesses and government entities, all with the goal of increasing opportunities for families.

Our Legal Aid Society is building on its pioneering legacy by renaming and reshaping its focus areas to better serve clients. Changes include extending services to DuPage County and partnering with the State’s Attorney’s Office to launch the Safe Families program. The Safe Families program bridges a critical gap between criminal and civil courts, working to obtain more comprehensive orders of protection for victims of domestic violence who share children with their abuser.

Empowering families includes empowering their health. We now provide behavioral health services at all of our Centers, building on expertise cultivated at our Southwest, Southeast Chicago and DuPage Centers. We also are among the owners and providers of the Behavioral Health Consortium of Illinois (BHC), an innovative collaborative increasing access to mental health and substance abuse services for Medicaid, Medicare and commercial insurance recipients.

Speaking of health, trauma’s impact, and Chicago’s need for peace, last year we introduced you to the anti-violence initiative Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P), featuring the city’s leading street outreach/violence interruption organizations.

This year CP4P celebrated the first graduates of the Metropolitan Peace Academy, which is professionalizing street outreach and creating a network of highly trained outreach workers. CP4P also held 814 Light in the Night community events this fiscal year, focused on helping residents reclaim safer community spaces.

We close with early learning, where we partnered with Bensenville School District 2 to open an early learning facility, providing services to 56 children. Looking ahead, we are excited about the coming year, as we anticipate launching the build−out of a new early learning center in Chicago’s Gage Park community.

With all sincerity, we thank you for your engagement and support! Together, we make “Mpowering” families possible.

A s we approach the Legal Aid Society’s 100th year as part of Metropolitan Family Services, we’re looking ahead to one of the most exciting times in its history. A fresh perspective on LAS’ direction comes in the form of its new Executive Director, Miguel Keberlein.

Miguel, who joins LAS after more than 15 years in legal aid, brings to Metropolitan a background in immigrants’ and workers’ rights, as well as client services. His experience includes integrating social work services into legal programs, training staff in providing trauma-informed services to clients, and developing statewide strategy and initiatives; all are elements germane to the future success of LAS.

MIGUEL KEBERLEIN Executive Director of the Legal Aid Society

As the needs of the children and families we serve grow more complex, we at Metropolitan are growing our Early Childhood Education (ECE) services to meet those needs; we’re working with more community

partners, opening more classrooms, and adding more home visiting services.

Our two newly created Director of Early Learning positions oversee Early Learning business development and growth strategies, program standardization and sustainability, partner relationships, work flows and

quality, local and state planning and initiatives, and innovation and strategic initiatives.

Intentional growth at Metropolitan starts with our strategic, inclusive and forward-thinking leadership. Both fresh and familiar faces are coming together, in the spirit of collaboration that defines Metropolitan’s approach to community growth, to refresh the ways we create new opportunities and increase access to our existing opportunities for the children and families we serve.

M ost recently Program Director for ECE in Chicago, Jennifer contributes to the field through her active participation on numerous councils and associations. Jennifer’s demonstrated leadership can best be seen through the accomplishments of her staff.

ASHLEY DUCHOSSOIS JOYCE Board of Directors Vice Chair

A shley Duchossois Joyce understands Metropolitan Family Services. A longtime supporter, Ashley’s insight into Metropolitan’s mission and operations spans twenty years and myriad capacities.

Fundamentally, people need this relief to stay safe and separated from their abuser.− Melanie MacBrideSUPERVISING ATTORNEY FOR THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TEAM

Domestic violence victims frequently encounter many challenges maintaining separation from their abuser. Sharing children makes it even more difficult to maintain separation; from wanting the abuser to see the children, to an inability to financially support themselves without help from the abuser.

Orders of protection provide the child-related support many victims need to maintain separation from their abuser – possession of their children, a concrete visitation schedule, and child support – without which they are more likely to be abused again. Until recently in the Cook County Court system, however, for orders of protection issued in criminal cases, including domestic violence cases, there was no one helping victims request this more comprehensive relief.

Until now.

LEGAL AID SOCIETY’S SAFE FAMILIES PROGRAM

GROWING REACH

Under a newly created project, the Legal Aid Society’s Safe Families Program – a partnership with the State’s Attorney’s Office – bridges the gap between criminal and civil courts, working to obtain more comprehensive orders of protection for victims of domestic violence to provide the structure and financial support that they need to successfully move on with their lives.

GROWING THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING INITIATIVEThe Human Trafficking Initiative provides free legal services to human trafficking survivors on legal issues that result from their exploitation. In addition, clients are connected to case management and counseling services either in-house at Metropolitan or through a referral to a federally funded program specific to survivors of human trafficking. In response to growing demand for services in the city and suburbs, the program is expanding its services, adding staff to the downtown office and in Metropolitan DuPage.

A s violence continues to plague multiple communities in Chicago, Metropolitan Family Services is working to help find solutions. In 2017, we joined forces with the city’s leading street outreach organizations to launch Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P).

CP4P is a framework that provides a comprehensive, long-term approach to reducing violence and gang activity among the individuals and communities it serves. Its work is rooted in nonviolence, trauma-informed care, hyper-local collaboration and restorative justice practices.

CP4P works in nine of Chicago’s most at-risk communities to help reduce shootings and homicides, create and reclaim safe community spaces, and professionalize the street outreach field.

The Metropolitan Peace Academy, a major CP4P component, is a multidisciplinary training platform designed to professionalize and strengthen the fields of street outreach and community violence prevention.

Graduates participate in a rigorous 144-hour, 18-week curriculum focused on street outreach, nonviolence, trauma-informed services and restorative justice. The Academy is the first of its kind in Chicago.

Twenty-three of Chicago’s most seasoned street outreach workers graduated from the Peace Academy in June 2018.

GROWING IMPACT

CP4P celebrated another successful year of Light in the Night, featuring 814 events in CP4P communities, all with the goal of helping residents reclaim safe spaces. Public spaces including parks, gyms and schools become hubs in each CP4P community for activities such as basketball, skating, barbeques and movie nights for three to four nights weekly. This fiscal year, 83,869 people participated in Light in the Night activities.

THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM OF ILLINOIS

A s mental health issues such as depression, addiction and suicide have become national epidemics, the need for mental health services is critical, especially in underserved communities. In response, we at Metropolitan have extended our mental health services – part of our behavioral health specialty – to all of our Centers.

From Evanston/Skokie, in Chicago, across DuPage County and in the southwest suburbs, youth and adults can access a spectrum of care, ranging from counseling for those who have lost loved ones to crisis intervention for clients experiencing psychiatric episodes.

In our effort to make behavioral health services more accessible, Metropolitan helped found the Behavioral Health Consortium of Illinois (BHC). This pioneering, county-wide collaborative, led by the Cook County Health Care System, features 12 behavioral health providers and serves Medicaid, Medicare and commecial insurance recipients. Youth and adults now have a single point of contact – one referral number – through which they can secure mental health and substance abuse disorder services in their community. BHC members collectively offer more than 75 office-based locations throughout Cook County.

GROWING CAPACITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES INTEGRATION

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AT METROPOLITAN

A s behavioral health care is often needed to help domestic violence survivors heal, Metropolitan is integrating its domestic violence services and behavioral health services. Training staff members from both areas in their colleagues’ key service standards enables us to provide a more comprehensive, “wrap-around” approach for client care and treatment. Metropolitan continues to roll out full integration into 2019.

CILADonald and “Anne” live at our Southeast CILA (Community Integrated Living Arrangement), a shared-apartment space for adults with developmental disabilities to live independently in an environment supported 24/7 by caring staff. Newly re-opened after state budget cuts shut it down last year, the Southeast CILA is growing quickly; Donald and Anne were the first to move in, but only four months later, they have six neighbors.

Donald and Anne specifically wanted to move into a CILA facility when they moved out of the nursing home where they had been living before. Here, they receive case management, medication

monitoring, transportation to appointments, and training for job and life skills. “I’ve learned things here that I wish I had been taught before,” Donald says. “It’s a good place; I feel better about myself more often.”

“You want to feel safe – you want a place to call your own,” says Program Supervisor Jennifer Altman. “Our clients have not always been treated with dignity and respect in other parts of society, but we want them to have what any other person can have: a home.”

To be empowered means to be stronger than that person – that person being your old self.– Donald

ADULT MENTAL HEALTH: MOVIE NIGHTIt’s Movie Day at Metropolitan Southeast Chicago. Our Adult Mental Health program is screening “Thor”. Estoria - a program client who, according to our staff, is a “real character” – made tacos to share for the event. Rochelle is quieter, but she laughs the loudest at Estoria’s jokes. They’re both regulars at the monthly Movie Day, when clients in Southeast Chicago’s support groups enjoy movie snacks and each other’s company.

The Altgeld Leadership Program allowed The Lyon Family Foundation to get in on the ground level of a new initiative that had the potential to drastically alter the trajectory of its participants.

The teens who participated in the program will take what they have learned to their homes, communities and beyond. All it takes is one trip or experience to open up someone’s eyes to a whole new world. We know the Altgeld 10 will see life through a different lens because of this program!

Empowering children and their families is one of the most compelling ways to impact society. I have supported Metropolitan for more than 20 years because of the excellence it brings to early learning, parent education, and the spectrum of supports families need to be strong and self-sustaining. I believe in Metropolitan because of its proven commitment to families.

Metropolitan’s impact with programs such as Early Childhood Education and Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P) demonstrate its continuing capacity for leadership and innovation. As a board member for 35 years, I am constantly amazed at the

I’m a big believer in the power of families. I am one of 12 siblings who were fortunate to grow up in a strong and loving home. My connection to my family has shaped my life. I want every family to be the best they can be – and I support Metropolitan because they help families make that happen every day.
