Like many teens, Jacob* is really into sports. He enjoys playing baseball and is a<br />
running back on his high school football team. The Steelers and the Dodgers can<br />
count him as one of their most enthusiastic fans.<br />
However, just a few short years ago Jacob wasn’t running down the field, he was<br />
running away from one foster home after another.<br />
Disconnected from his family and falling further into crisis, he finally found safety<br />
and security in the Crisis Psychiatric Care program at <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>. This short term<br />
residential program provides a secure alternative to hospitalization for kids needing<br />
24-hour supervision, a psychiatric evaluation and crisis stabilization. In addition, the<br />
staff works to develop a plan for the future while connecting children and families to<br />
the support they need.<br />
<strong>Kerr</strong> strives to provide a continuum of care to children based on their level of need.<br />
The goal is to ultimately return the child to their home, family, and community.<br />
criSiS pSycHiATric cArE (SubAcuTE)<br />
Typically a two-week residential stay that offers kids ages 6 to 18 a safe place to stay<br />
and 24-hour access to mental health professionals to address urgent mental health<br />
crises. The goals of the program are to stabilize children in crisis and provide effective<br />
mental health treatment.<br />

When Jacob was ready to leave the Crisis Psychiatric Care program, he still needed a more intensive<br />
level of care. After moving over to <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>’s Intensive Treatment Program, he started to learn<br />
how to talk about his concerns instead of using behavior to express his emotions. He learned how to live<br />
with other kids and to connect with staff members. Eventually, Jacob was ready for more independence<br />
and to be part of the community.<br />
At first, he moved into an <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> Youth Group Home for kids who need the most supervision. While<br />
there, he “learned a lot of stuff…like life skills” and adjusted to living in a neighborhood, going to school and<br />
responsibility. He also discovered a need to speak out on behalf of other kids. Over time, Jacob has become<br />
an advocate for children throughout <strong>Kerr</strong>. In particular, he takes great pride in serving on the planning<br />
committee for the <strong>Kerr</strong> Games, a twice-yearly opportunity to come together, play sports and just be kids.<br />

The only program of its kind in Oregon, the Intensive<br />
Treatment Program is a safe and secure residential<br />
treatment program for youth with developmental<br />
disabilities, many of whom have concurrent mental<br />
health challenges. Youth receive education, therapy,<br />
and life skills training. The goal is for every child to<br />
develop the stability and skills to successfully live<br />
in the community.<br />
youTH group HomES<br />
<strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> neighborhood group homes<br />
for youth offer specialized care and treatment<br />
for children ages 7 to 18 with developmental<br />
disabilities and mental health challenges. Each<br />
home is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week,<br />
by direct care staff. They work as a team together<br />
with family members, psychiatrists, therapists<br />
and behavior support specialists to develop each<br />
child’s treatment plan to meet shared goals. Many<br />
residents have a history of abuse and neglect and<br />
have experienced multiple placements outside their<br />
own home. Moving to a <strong>Kerr</strong> group home allows<br />
youth to establish a safe, nurturing and stable home<br />
environment where they have their own room,<br />
healthy meals and an active life within<br />
their neighborhood.<br />

In time, Jacob demonstrated that he was ready for more independence. He took the opportunity to<br />
move to a group home for kids who were also ready to do more on their own. Today, he is a junior<br />
in high school and enjoys going to the park, meeting his friends at the mall and spending time on<br />
the internet. At first he says he didn’t want to talk to other kids at school, but becoming part of the<br />
football team has changed that. His teammates have become like family. Jacob also spent the<br />
summer working at <strong>Kerr</strong> Bikes, where he says he enjoyed learning job skills, how to work with<br />
customers and responsibility. He sees <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> as a place where you can learn independence<br />
and how to advocate for yourself.<br />

When Lori and Teresa* first connected with <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>, their<br />
world was limited to home and family. The sisters, now in their<br />
40s, both have developmental disabilities and have lived at home<br />
in Eugene for their entire lives, rarely venturing out as they got<br />
older. After their father passed away, mom was home alone with<br />
the sisters and needed help. She turned to <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>.<br />
Today, with support from <strong>Kerr</strong>’s Community Inclusion services,<br />
a whole new world has opened up for Lori and Teresa. Two years<br />
ago, they started as volunteers picking up paper for recycling at<br />
a number of office buildings. That volunteer work has evolved<br />
into paid positions, their first jobs. They are also leading more<br />
independent lives, enjoying the movies, bowling, swimming, eating<br />
out and even producing work for art shows, from glass to beads.<br />
After 20 years at home, their mother is grateful that they have<br />
the opportunity to be part of the community: “They both have<br />
blossomed. I didn’t know all this was possible.”<br />

Alice* had been removed from every single school, daycare<br />
or other program she attended for unruly behavior. With<br />
a divorce in the family, the situation intensified and her<br />
parents turned to the medical system for help. After ten<br />
days in the hospital, they finally found a safe setting for<br />
their daughter in <strong>Kerr</strong>’s Crisis Psychiatric Care program.<br />
The team at <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> provided an environment<br />
where Alice could stabilize and developed a team to plan<br />
for her future. “Coming to <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> allowed us to<br />
feel, as a family, that other people were seeing the same<br />
behavior,” said her mother. “We no longer felt alone.”<br />
After a brief stay, Alice was able to return to her family.<br />
Today, the team at <strong>Kerr</strong> continues to provide care through<br />
Intensive Community-Based Treatment Services. It has<br />
been a difficult road for her mother, “As a parent, it was<br />
scary to let go and put my trust in the professionals. It’s one<br />
of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but if we didn’t get<br />
something done right away, this could affect her entire life.”<br />
Today, for the first time, she is going to school every day.<br />
Alice has learned skills that allow her to take breaks and<br />
express what she needs in the classroom. The <strong>Kerr</strong> team<br />
still sees her and her family once a week, but she continues<br />
to progress toward a less intensive level of care. Her mother<br />
says, “She is a whole different child. It’s definitely been a<br />
positive experience although it was hard in the beginning.”<br />

vulnerable and challenging the <strong>norm</strong> to create a society that has<br />
no barriers.<br />

<strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>’s board developed, long-term strategic plan includes<br />
five key goals. Here are the highlights of our progress this year:<br />
Goal 1: Expand programs and services<br />
A new transitional group home was opened for young adults ages 18 to<br />
26 moving from a youth group home into an adult setting. They are now<br />
able to live with their peers before stepping into independent living or<br />
a traditional group home.<br />
Goal 2: Elevate <strong>Kerr</strong> to the “Employer of Choice”<br />
Three years into the current strategic plan, there is a 35 percent<br />
reduction in employee turnover, a 10 percent reduction in employee<br />
injuries and an improved quality of hire.<br />
Goal 3: Maintain and improve the stability and diversity<br />
of funding<br />
As the State of Oregon faced budget reductions, <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> worked<br />
with advocates, peer associations and the community to communicate<br />
the importance of funding for services for people with developmental<br />
disabilities and mental health challenges. While many anticipated cuts<br />
to programs were not made, <strong>Kerr</strong> also moved to improve efficiencies<br />
to ensure the long-term stability of the organization. In addition, more<br />
than $1 million in planned gifts and an increase in event revenue helped<br />
increase funding for the organization this year.<br />
Goal 4: Increase awareness of <strong>Kerr</strong><br />
In the second year of the Army of Angels campaign, awareness of<br />
<strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> increased an additional 11% in a survey of the<br />
general public.<br />
Goal 5: Define the best opportunities for long-term use of <strong>Kerr</strong>’s<br />
physical assets<br />
Many services previously housed at the Gresham Campus, including<br />
outpatient services, foster care, the family resource center, human<br />
resources and IT were moved to a new, short-term location at Cascade<br />
Station as plans are made for the long-term use of the campus.<br />
<strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> provides a wide<br />
range of mental health services<br />
for children and support for their<br />
families. We also provide care<br />
and skills training for people with<br />
developmental disabilities, serving<br />
people in their homes, in the<br />
community and in group homes.<br />
We serve individuals from<br />
throughout Oregon at facilities<br />
throughout the Willamette Valley,<br />
with services primarily offered<br />
in Clackamas, Lane, Marion,<br />
Multnomah, and Washington<br />
Counties. We also work with foster<br />
families in Northwest Oregon.<br />

ages 4 to 17, with emotional and behavioral health<br />
challenges who were at risk of losing their home<br />

intensive behavioral support allowed 77% of children<br />
to remain safely in their home setting.<br />
<strong>Kerr</strong> provided community-based outpatient services<br />
to 207 children with 79 percent of families reporting<br />

Despite ongoing challenges in our state<br />
economy, <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> has responded<br />
well to funding cuts from government<br />
sources through efficient management<br />
of its resources and solid fundraising<br />
efforts. Strong operational performance,<br />
combined with favorable investment<br />
returns and some generous estate gifts,<br />
enabled <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> to increase its<br />
unrestricted net assets by 22% for the year.<br />
Through strong fiscal management,<br />
<strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> has been able to increase<br />
our reserves to better position us to<br />
handle the impact of further funding<br />
cuts and uncertain economic conditions<br />
that lie ahead. In addition, we have<br />
continued our commitment to financial<br />

AlbertinA <strong>Kerr</strong>’s ArMY oF AnGels<br />
AnnuAl mEETing &<br />
communiTy AWArDS<br />
More than 250 people attended the 104th Annual<br />
Meeting and Community Awards on October 25.<br />
Guest speaker Rachel Simon, author of Riding the<br />
Bus with My Sister, reminded us of the importance<br />
of <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>’s community-based care and its<br />
impact on individuals and families.<br />
silver Circle Award:<br />
The Old <strong>Kerr</strong> Nursery Association was founded to help<br />
support the work of <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>. <strong>Albertina</strong>’s Restaurant<br />
and Shops have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars<br />
to support vital services over the past 30 years.<br />
outstanding Foundation support:<br />
Since 1947, the Collins Foundation has generously helped<br />
fund services to the most vulnerable in our community.<br />
Over the years, they have played a crucial role in<br />
providing support that helped <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> make<br />
advances in innovation and care including our low lift<br />
project and youth group home improvement projects.<br />
outstanding Community support, business:<br />
Precision Castparts Corp., has supported the work of<br />
<strong>Kerr</strong> both financially and through the time and talents<br />
of its leadership. A long time sponsor of various events,<br />
Precision Castparts has played an important role<br />
in ensuring that children, adults and families in our<br />
community get the services they need from <strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong>.<br />
Community service Award:<br />
Jim and Christina Trolinger have been involved with<br />
<strong>Albertina</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong> for more than a decade. Their time,<br />
dedication and generosity have made a significant impact<br />
on those we support today and into the future. Over the<br />
years, the Trolingers have also been an inspiration to<br />
others, engaging their staff at Swagelok NW (US).<br />
