For Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and his wife, June, family comes first. As residents of the area for more than two decades, they’ve put down deep roots that keep them committed to their community. Since 1999, that commitment has included supporting Youth Eastside Services.

The Johnsons first learned about YES from Executive Director Patti Skelton-McGougan, who they met through a mutual friend. As they got closer to the organization, Kevin says that he and June came to understand the value of the expertise and resources that YES offers to young people who are struggling — especially when it comes to dealing with serious issues like substance abuse, bullying, family challenges and more.

“When we’ve attended events and heard stories [from YES clients], it opens your eyes to the reality of what happens. It’s easy to go through life and not be aware of the struggles that others are going through,” Kevin says. “It’s an important thing to have YES in our community. That’s why June and I have been strong supporters.”

Their concern for young people has kept them involved with YES for almost 20 years — and it’s become a family endeavor: Their son Michael serves on the YES Ambassadors, a group of young professionals whose activities support YES’ mission and programs.

“Our entire family shares the view that serving others and helping people is important,” June says. “We have a lot of respect for YES.”

In a small room, next to a table piled with figurines, colored blocks and other small toys, Lisa sits on the floor next to her three-year-old daughter, Anya.*

“OK, this is our special time,” Lisa says to Anya. “You can play with any of the toys on this table.”

Anya promptly reaches out and grabs two blocks, stacking them one on top of the other.

“You’re stacking blocks!,” Lisa says.

In the background, Jackie Bui, YES’ director of education and prevention services, quietly validates Lisa’s response:

“Good job describing what she’s doing.”

Anya plucks two more blocks from the table, and places them on top of the first two.

“It’s a tower now!,” Anya says proudly.

THANK YOU FOR

Investing in YouthWith your help, we raised more than $650,000 at this year’s Invest in Youth Breakfast to

help Eastside families heal from devastating issues such as depression, substance abuse, trauma and more.

More than 1,000 generous attendees came out on March 22 to hear inspiring stories from youth who have overcome obstacles — and to enjoy the company of other philanthropists and community leaders.

Featured speakers included renowned early childhood researcher Dr. Patricia Kuhl, retired KING 5 TV news anchor Dennis Bounds, Warm 106.9 radio personality and mental health advocate Shellie Hart, local restaurateurs and community advocates John and Debbie Howie, plus youth speakers from YES.

The funds raised will support low/no-cost mental health care and substance abuse treatment for families in need — as well as education and prevention services.

HONORING

School Partners Lake Washington and Bellevue school districts were honored at YES’ Annual Meeting for their commitment to student well-being. In partnership with administration and staff, YES provides on-site mental health, substance abuse treatment, and other forms of social-emotional support and interventions at more than 60 schools across the districts.

PREVENTING YOUTH AND FAMILY HOMELESSNESS

Families on the edge get help from YES

An unexpected expense. An illness. A job loss. Life can be uncertain, and for hard-working families with limited resources, these uncertainties can mean the difference between making rent — or being forced to seek emergency shelter.

Now, with funding from King County’s Best Starts for Kids, YES is addressing homelessness at its most critical stage — before it begins.

YES’ Youth and Family Homelessness Prevention Initiative helps families on the edge with flexible funding to prevent homelessness, as well as support and resources to maintain or obtain permanent housing — and to address the causes of housing instability.

The initiative is already impacting local lives: From January to March 2017, YES helped 18 families avoid homelessness.

Learn more about YES’ other education and prevention programs: www.youtheastsideservices.org/healthy-communities

King County’s 2016 One Night Count found nearly 3,000 homeless families with children residing in emergency shelters or transitional housing.

YOUNG PEOPLE ON THE MOVEMeet the YES youth who were honored for their incredible progress at the agency’s Annual Meeting in May.

XanderWhen Xander first came to YES, he was overwhelmed with anxious thoughts about his future, and had trouble making friends. But with the help of therapist Justin Daigneault, Xander’s path changed.

Through his consistent efforts in his counseling sessions, Xander learned to restructure his anxious thoughts and worries. He’s made new friends and improved communication with his parents. He’s feeling more self-confident, and understands himself better after applying effort to self-exploration in counseling.

BejaBeja’s struggles with drugs and alcohol began when she was just 13 years old. Despite repeated attempts to change her habits and get clean, she didn’t know how to cope with stress without getting high, so she continued using. Then she found YES.

Since beginning substance abuse treatment with therapist Erica Rosenthal, Beja has shifted her perception of her drug usage. She understands why she uses, and values being sober. Despite challenges and obstacles, she makes her counseling appointments a priority, and continues to do the hard work of staying clean.

Beja has been sober now for five months, and continues to make huge strides.

YES is helping vulnerable kids and their families thrive.

Dear Friends:Thank you for making 2016 yet another remarkable year for Youth Eastside

Services. We are so grateful to our many generous partners who are helping

YES to build a lasting legacy of health and wellness in our community.

As a leading regional youth and family

behavioral health care provider in East

King County, our ongoing goal is to help

vulnerable kids and families through some

of the worst moments of their lives, and to

serve all families regardless of their ability to

pay. In 2016, YES reached even more families

with newly expanded services for parents of

young children with behavioral issues — to

strengthen the child-parent relationship and

ensure a great start in life.

In this report, you will read of the challenges

thousands of kids and families face, and how

YES met them with evidence-based services

and programs delivered by professional and

compassionate staff. You’ve done so much

to advance these efforts by wholeheartedly

supporting YES’ critical work so that,

together, we can create positive change

for families through hope, healing and recovery.

Your generosity makes everything YES does possible. Thank you for believing

in our mission and bringing it to life every day.

Sincerely,

Diane Adam Patti Skelton-McGougan

President, YES Board of Trustees YES Executive Director

More of your gifts at work:Because you gave $85, one of our licensed mental health counselors was able to provide one hour of therapeutic services for an 8-year-old who lost a parent to cancer.

Because you gave $50, one of our outreach counselors working at a local teen center was able to provide one hour of brief intervention and support for a 15-year-old who has an eating disorder.

Because you gave $40, we bought a warm blanket for a child participating in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).

Because you gave $15, we were able to give a Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) manual to a Spanish-speaking family in their native language.

You’re helping local families thrive.Because you gave

$1,000, Irie was able to quit drugs.

Irie’s life spiraled out of control when he found Xanax — a drug that took away his pain and loneliness. But because of you, he’s about to earn his associate’s degree from Bellevue College.

Irie participated in YES’ substance abuse treatment services at the agency’s Redmond

office and on-site at his high school.

Because you gave $1,500, Mason survived. Mason struggled with self-harm since fifth grade. But because of you, he’s looking forward to becoming an EMT or a teacher.

“It used to be when people would ask me, ‘What do you think you’re going to do

in your future?,’ I’d say, ‘I have no idea,’ because I honestly … didn’t think I was going to live that long. Now when people ask, ‘What are you going to do with your future?,’ I say, ‘I have no idea, but I know I’m going to be there.’”

Mason participated in YES’ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills group, which empower

teens with the critical skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness

and emotional regulation.
