Welcome SHODAIR<br />
<strong>Shodair</strong> <strong>Children's</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> is<br />
about to embark on another exciting milestone in its<br />
116-year legacy of caring for Montana's children:<br />
the ground breaking for <strong>Shodair</strong> Family House.<br />
This beautiful new facility will function as an integral<br />
part of our campus, providing a place for families to<br />
stay while visiting their children in treatment here.<br />
<strong>Shodair</strong> Family House will make it easier for them<br />
to participate in intensive family therapy, learn more<br />
about the Collaborative Problem Solving treatment<br />
model we use, and begin the process of reuniting<br />
their children with their families and communities.<br />
<strong>Shodair</strong> Family House will also serve as a teaching<br />
and education center. We know that active<br />
participation of families in intensive therapy and<br />
parenting classes is essential to recovery and longterm<br />
independence for their children. Many families<br />
we serve are poor and unable to travel to visit their<br />
children and participate in family therapy. Few local<br />
resources are available to assist them. Collaborative<br />
Problem Solving is an approach built on the<br />
philosophy that children succeed if they can—when<br />
they are provided with appropriate skills to do so—<br />
rather than if they want to. The same is true for<br />
families. The creation of <strong>Shodair</strong> Family House<br />
will facilitate the therapy, education, and support<br />
provided to our families.<br />

Additionally, <strong>Shodair</strong> Family House will be used as a<br />
professional teaching and education center, offering<br />
opportunities for other professionals to advance their<br />
abilities in their own work with Montana's families.<br />
<strong>Shodair</strong> <strong>Children's</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> has been awarded a<br />
challenge grant of $500,000 from the Montana<br />
Mental Health Settlement Trust, with the provision<br />
that we raise the additional matching funds necessary<br />
for the construction of <strong>Shodair</strong> Family House. We<br />
also received a “top off” grant from the M.J. Murdock<br />
Charitable Trust in the amount of $225,000. So far,<br />
we've raised a total of $1,117,005, which means we<br />
need to raise an additional $159,195.<br />
This project is significant to <strong>Shodair</strong>, one that will<br />
greatly enhance our ability to carry out our vision<br />
and mission. The funding for <strong>Shodair</strong> Family House<br />
has come from many sources, including those who<br />
have been long-time supporters of <strong>Shodair</strong> and its<br />
work to serve children and families throughout<br />
Montana. Each of us here at <strong>Shodair</strong> thanks you for<br />
your continued support, and we look forward to<br />
many more years of providing excellent care for<br />
Montana's children.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
John P. Casey
