BOARD CHAIR ANDPRESIDENT & CEO

Dear Friends,

As you take a moment to read the profiles in this year’s annual report, we are confident you will be impressed by the scope and breadth of the services at JFSA. For 137 years, JFSA staff have developed and adapted our services to meet the critical needs of the moment.

2012 has been a banner year for special recognition of JFSA programs. Of note, the Horvitz YouthAbility program was recognized by the City of Cleveland and the AJFCA (Association of Jewish Family & Children Agencies) for its innovative approach to volunteerism with at-risk youth and youth with disabilities. JFSA’s Know Abuse™ program was recognized by the AJFCA and the Ohio Association of Non-Profit Organizations for its creative use of cause theater in teen dating violence prevention programming.

Additionally, the Center for Cognition and Recovery was one of seven national organizations to receive the prestigious 2011 Science and Service Award from SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).

Volunteers are the wonderful bridge between our programs and services and the community. Each year JFSA volunteers provide roughly $320,000 worth of unpaid services that enhance the care received by our clients. Our volunteers deliver kosher meals and spend time with our homebound elderly; provide special holiday celebrations for our homeless clients and individuals with disabilities, and ensure that our food pantry is well stocked with much needed items.

While our staff provides safety and access to the best care for our clients, our volunteers add special attention and companionship throughout the year that make JFSA feel like family to the people we serve.

These accomplishments would not be possible without the generous support and extraordinary partnership with the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, our Board of Directors, donors, volunteers and the community at large. Together we ensure that each member of our community can count on JFSA to provide quality care and support.

Approximately 500 individuals with serious mental illness were served through JFSA Ascentia Mental Health Services and PLAN’s Holistic Recovery Program.

2,700 hours of holistic recovery activities were provided to individuals with serious mental illness.

More than 430 individuals with disabilities accessed services to help them obtain meaningful employment.

When Carey Daws lost her job in 2011, she knew exactly where to go for help. Carey chose JFSA Ascentia Supported Employment Services, a program that helps people with mental disabilities find work and remain employed.

Ten years ago, Carey was diagnosed with schizophrenia and suffering from paranoia. She was told by doctors she would never work again. But since then, Carey has disproved their thinking and made significant strides in managing her mental illness and finding employment. She doesn’t want to allow her mental illness to be an excuse or define her.

After she lost her job last year, Carey worked with her Ascentia case manager Laurie White and employment specialist Joli Magnus, updated her resume and set realistic goals for securing a new job. Now employed as a competitive marketing analyst, Carey continues to receive support from JFSA. Her focus now is on job retention with the goal to improve the longevity of her employment. Joli explains, “Laurie and I are here to support Carey with her goals, to help her overcome self-doubt and be more confident.”

Carey exclaims, “I love JFSA, they saved my life at a time when I lost my job and was discouraged. Joli and Laurie help me focus on what’s manageable so I don’t get overwhelmed, and they’ve helped me learn coping tricks so if I have

a bad thought, it doesn’t make me spin out-of-control.”

Carey knows she can’t do this alone. Having

both case management services and Supported Employment Services as part of an integrated treatment plan, Carey can take responsibility for managing her life and her illness.

It doesn’t always take a crisis for a family to reach out for help from JFSA.Sometimes the impetus is the desire for an adult child to have the opportunity to take the next steps towards independence. That’s how the Chesler family became involved with JFSA Ascentia Residential Services program.

When Margaret and Jonathan Chesler learned their son Michael had autism, they were determined to have a family life that included him in all activities. But they were also mindful that he was going to eventually grow into adulthood, so early on they began the process of developing a plan of care for him and to face the situation of his special needs with full awareness.

Margaret is an experienced social worker and explains that parents of children with autism need to understand that after their child moves out of the school

system, support disappears and without a plan for the future young adults with autism can become lost. For the Cheslers, JFSA’s Ascentia fit nicely

into their plan. At age 23, Michael moved into Washington House. The family appreciates how well maintained the home is, the attention to detail for the residents – that it’s a thoughtful environment with helpful staff. Ascentia provides reassurance that Michael is cared for, so the family doesn’t have to worry.

Closeness and family time still matter to the Cheslers. Michael returns to his family’s home every Friday night and participates in activities on Saturday. It’s the best of both worlds for everyone – Michael has his independent living experience with peers plus happy times with his family. Living at Washington House has expanded Michael’s life experiences – he now is willing to try new food and

eats more balanced meals, he’s more social and has developed good relationships with the other residents, and enjoys house field trips.

A graduate of Shaker Heights High School and CEVEC, Michael works at the Brooklyn Adult Training Center. His brother James observes, “Living

here is good for Michael. It opens up his opportunities and gives him more versatility for his life.”

The entire Chesler family appreciates how JFSA enhances Michael’s life experience and supports him to be more independent. Margaret comments, “If I dreamed it, this is how it would be – and fortunately it’s not just a dream but reality!”

PARENTS WITH A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE“ Living here is good for Michael. It opens up his opportunities and gives him more versatility for his life.”

Michael Chesler gives his mom, Margaret, a big hug.

Becoming a PLAN member has changed Tasha Dore’s life. Tasha spent most of her youth dealing with anger. She lashed out, fought, and alienated those she longed to be close with, especially her family. At home her sister wanted to play, but Tasha would push her away. She yearned for friends, but her behavior problems at school led to her being bullied. She resented being placed in Special Ed classes because her AD/HD made her feel different. Later she was diagnosed with bipolar and schizo-affective disorder.

As a member of PLAN, Tasha participated in CET (Cognitive Enhancement Therapy), which uses computer software programs and structured group communications to help increase attention, memory, and problem solving skills for people with mental illness. Tasha says the 14 month program improved her “mindfulness” and ability to manage her anger.

Tasha learned to make friends by participating in different social and recreational activities in PLAN’s Holistic Recovery program. In fact, interacting with other PLAN members has inspired Tasha to want to give a face to mental illness so she has begun writing a book to help educate the public. Tasha says, “I look normal. I behave normally most of the time. People find it difficult to believe I’m ill, because you can’t really see mental illness.”

Vicki Elsoffer, Tasha’s family advocate, helps her continue to manage her frustration and stress and talk about her feelings rather than acting out. Most importantly, Vicki is someone Tasha can trust.

PLAN has given Tasha back her family. Now they enjoy family time together, enjoying their boat, playing games, and just hanging out. She can now say, “I love you” to her parents, and has become friends with her sister. Tasha remarks, “My family always loved me, but now they like me too!”

At a remarkable 101 years of age, Ida Barone has just about seen it all, so now she’s happy to enjoy life from the privacy of her own home that she’s lived in since 1952. Most of her close family are gone now. But her brother Louis lives nearby and comes over if she needs help fixing things around the house.

She appreciates how her choice to live at home on her own is made possible by her two home health aides from JFSA Care at Home, Elena Levine who provides companionship and assistance in the morning and Shushana Elizerov who helps in the afternoon. Ida explains, “I like that I can stay at home. JFSA has nice people who treat me well.”

Ida cherishes a simple life with a slow pace to the day, because at her age everything takes longer to do and more effort is required for simple tasks. She relies on Elena and Shushana to vacuum, do laundry, shop and prepare meals, help with showering, and more. She finds it comforting to have them around because falling is a constant worry.

Ida stays mentally alert by reading the newspaper front to back every day – it’s how she stays in touch with what’s going on in the world, along with watching news

programs on television. She follows politics and asserts her right to vote – voting

by absentee ballot every election. And she takes care of paying

her own bills.

Surrounded by precious possessions and treasured memories, Ida is one of many seniors who enjoy independence and safe living at home with the help of JFSA.

AGING WITH DIGNITY

Ida Barone, 101, lives independently at home with help from JFSA Care at Home aide Shushana Elizerov.

307,622 hours of private duty nursing care were delivered to older adults, including personal care, home support, transportation, companionship and light housekeeping.

53,933 kosher meals were delivered by JFSA volunteers to the frail and elderly at home.

Of the 1,163 Holocaust Survivors accessing services from JFSA Care at Home, 228 individuals received subsidies for basic necessities such as food, medical premiums and equipment, clothing, dental, hearing, vision and personal care.

1,015 older adults were safer at home because they subscribed to the JFSA Lifeline emergency alert button.

Despite the unimaginable hardships Regina Adler has endured in her life, from surviving Holocaust atrocities in Auschwitz, subsequently living under the Communist regime in Romania, and the drowning death of her only son at age 14, Reggie (as she is known to friends) continues to embrace life and appreciates opportunities to stay active at the age of 92.

After her beloved husband Joseph died in 1997, Reggie continued to live independently in the South Euclid home they shared for many years, until a bad fall caused a painful back injury and the subsequent need for outside help.

She credits JFSA with saving her life and allowing her to remain in the comfort of her own home. “I live alone, who would know about me, if not for the wonderful people at JFSA, especially Gilda (Katz). She is excellent, like a good sister.” Gilda has worked with Reggie since 2000, helping her access many JFSA services, including kosher home-delivered meals each week, deep cleaning services, personal care and help with bill paying and applying for reparations claims.

With her warm and engaging personality, Reggie welcomes visitors to her home and likes it when volunteers stop by with challah and time to chat. She particularly enjoys Café Europa each week, and is thrilled with all the activities offered – from exercise and Tai Chi classes to luncheons. She looks forward to socializing with other Holocaust Survivors each week, and explains, “They all like me there, and everyone is my friend!”

While JFSA has become Reggie’s family and spiritual lifeline since that bad fall years ago, she relies on the JFSA Lifeline medical alert button for peace of mind 24 hours a day. She routinely wears the wristband style help button, just in case. Incessantly determined and grateful, Reggie is the essence of why JFSA Care at Home services are integral and beneficial to our community.

HAPPY AND SAFE AT HOME

“ I live alone, who would know about me, if not for the wonderful people at JFSA.”

– Reggie Adler

2,875 nights of emergency shelter were provided through the Hebrew Shelter Home.

In its first year, JFSA’s summer campership program, generously funded by an anonymous donor, covered the cost of 10 children, ages 10-15, to attend Jewish overnight camp.

406 families accessed the volunteer operated JFSA Food Pantry, which received donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries and other household goods from volunteers, organizations, staff and board members.

130 unemployed adults participated in JCF’s employment-related support program, in which 45 individuals found jobs.

The impact of being homeless can be especially daunting when it involves a child. Svetlana and her ten-year-old daughter Daria know this all too well. They endured years of searching for a permanent place to call home, shuttling back and forth between friends and family, never remaining in one city very long. But when they entered the Hebrew Shelter Home, they not only found a safe place to live, but also received professional support from JFSA case manager Rachel Madden. She helped Svetlana (who is hearing impaired) find a permanent place to live and a great school for Daria to attend and participate in activities with other kids her age.

This summer, Daria was one of the first 10 campers to receive a 3 year scholarship through JFSA’s new campership program which was established to provide kids currently not involved with Judaism the chance to reconnect with their Jewish culture and traditions in an overnight camp setting.

Daria’s experience at Camp Wise was an adjustment for both daughter and mother since they’d never been apart before, but Daria embraced it and had lots of fun making friends and trying new activities such as horseback riding and the giant swing. Because the program received such a positive response in its first year, the anonymous donor funding these camp scholarships decided to increase the number of scholarships to 100 beginning in 2013.

Daria says, “Everyone at JFSA is friendly and very kind. I’m grateful

to have the opportunity to go to camp!” Svetlana adds,

“A great big thank you to everyone at JFSA!” For Svetlana and Daria, the search for a permanent residence has tested their endurance and strength, but with help from JFSA’s Family at Risk

services, Hebrew Shelter Home, and support from the

Jewish community, they are experiencing a better life today

than they ever thought was possible.

FAMILIES AT RISK

When Judith* first met her husband, he was charming and kind and she quickly fell in love. But soon after they got married, she realized something was wrong. Although he was polite and helpful to others publicly, at home a nasty side began to emerge fueled by a need to control. He would lash out and beat Judith and hit their kids. Their home became a private hell. In the cycle of abuse that ensued, all she wanted was for her kids to be ok and to get through a day without him exploding.

So Judith began to form a plan – it gave her focus and the hope that she might live a peaceful, happy life again. She knew that becoming financially independent was crucial to successfully leaving, so she put her energy into pursuing a degree and raising her children, all while enduring the abuse.

Unfortunately, Judith’s plan became fraught with difficulties when discoveries of fraud began surfacing about her husband, and Judith learned he had put her at risk financially. As a result, she had to file for bankruptcy to get out from under debt she didn’t even know she had.

With stress mounting from both the physical and financial abuse, Judith contacted JFSA to set up an appointment. After a few counseling sessions in JFSA Ascentia, she was referred to JFSA Families at Risk to get help more specifically for the domestic abuse issues. Judith worked with her case managers and joined JFSA’s “Journey to Empowerment” group sessions where she found support and understanding from other women with similar experiences. While Judith attended weekly group sessions, her children worked with an art therapist to help process their feelings.

Judith courageously embraced her painful journey and put her life back together. She is determined to push through the anxiety and talk about her experience because “I felt ashamed and embarrassed about it and kept the abuse secret which enabled it to continue, so I want women to know it’s not something to be ashamed about and to get help.”

The memories of physical violence and verbal abuse still haunt her, but Judith understands it is part of the healing process. “Words hurt more than getting hit. The bruises eventually fade, but words stay in your mind and undermine your spirit,” she remarks. “I still have the exercises and pages of notes from my group sessions. If I start to feel uncertain or scared, I look through them and they help me feel strong again and remember my goals.”

Judith has accomplished much during her journey. Today she enjoys her work, has her own home and bank accounts, but most rewarding of all, she has raised two dynamic, respectful children beginning their own journeys as healthy, young adults.

Ruth and Charles Jacob in 1945.

The idea for the new Charles and Ruth Jacob Scholarship evolved when Kyle Bruck and other members of his family gathered in Cleveland for the unveiling of his grandmother’s headstone, and decided they wanted to do something to honor her memory. Since Ruth and her husband Charles grew up and raised their family in Cleveland, the extended family wanted to do something that would benefit the Jewish community locally. With those considerations in mind, they discovered JFSA through an online search, and contacted the agency to discuss setting up a scholarship. Although Kyle’s grandparents, like many of their generation growing up during the Great Depression, were not able to pursue a college education, it was always something important to them. They worked and saved to ensure that their children and grandchildren would have that opportunity. “Our grandparents had to put off their dreams, but the sacrifices they made, made it possible for me and my parent’s generation to achieve our dreams. We want to help make that happen for other students who need a bit of extra assistance to pursue their dreams,” he says. Rather than developing scholarship award criteria based on financial need or academic performance, the family chose to make a student’s passion for a particular field or activity the focus of the selection process. Each year the scholarship is awarded to a Jewish student who demonstrates a passion and is motivated to pursue it at the undergraduate level. The scholarship is awarded to one student each year who receives $1,000/per year for 4 years. The first Charles and Ruth Jacob Scholarship was awarded to Orit Misrahi for her passion for dance. She is currently majoring in Classical Ballet at Goucher College.

When JFSA merged its Ascentia behavioral health services with PLAN of Northeast Ohio last summer, it received a major boost with funding provided through a $2 million endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. As a result of the merger and endowment funding, PLAN’s Holistic Recovery Support Services continues to operate without disruption, and PLAN members enjoy direct access to JFSA Ascentia’s wide array of services.

“We have long been supporters of PLAN and its mission. This endowment gift was made to ensure that people with serious mental illness will continue to be able to access meaningful services and supports that help them manage their illness and live a good quality of life in our community,” says Milton Maltz.

PLAN members, JFSA Ascentia clients and their families praise the Maltz Family for their extraordinary generosity and for recognizing the critical role that Holistic Recovery Support Services, such as social and recreational outings, volunteer opportunities and art therapy, play in the lives of individuals with serious mental illness.

During FY12, JFSA, Hebrew Shelter Home and PLAN volunteers provided 16,989 hours of service to the community through a variety of volunteer activities, including delivering meals to home-bound seniors twice a week, visiting with Holocaust Survivors, participating in teen outreach education and many other activities that support JFSA’s mission. Because these services are delivered by volunteers, JFSA saves approximately $320,582* a year. JFSA, Hebrew Shelter Home and PLAN could not be successful without these volunteers and we thank them for their tireless efforts.
