“When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family

happinesses.” — Joyce Brothers

When we talk about the mission of Lena Pope Home, we highlight

our passion to help create hope, happiness, and success for children

and families. At the heart of that mission is the family and the

importance of strong families to help our children grow to their full

potential. Research confirms that children from strong families have a much better chance of success not only

in childhood but through adulthood.

Helping our community’s families become stronger is a key component of Lena Pope Home. All of our

programs work to engage and involve the whole family. This is particularly true in our Family Matters

counseling and therapy programs. Whether with parenting classes, family counseling, juvenile justice

intervention programs, or family drug courts, the key to giving our children hope is to create and build

stronger families.

The current dialogue and debate in our state is an essential one to closely follow for all families in Texas.

The Texas Legislature is considering dramatic reductions in spending to balance the budget and many of

those cuts will directly impact services in our community that help our children and their families. Whether

your passion is K-12 public education, health and human services, or criminal justice programs, I encourage

you stay engaged and informed to what is happening. Our community’s children and families depend on all

of us to be involved, individually, as families, and corporately, to help those who need a helping hand.

As always, thank you for your support.

LEGACY 5

Once a week, they come together at their conference table tucked away on the second floor of Lena Pope Home’s Hulen Street location. They carry with them their virtual offices. A few bring breakfast, others just coffee. They come from all walks of life, but they are joined together under one mission. These are the nine members of Lena Pope Home’s Functional Family Therapy (FFT) , an evidence-based program now in its fourth year. What makes this team unique is that they practice their profession around the kitchen tables and in the living rooms of the families they serve. “We were the first site in Texas,” Bill Porter, the clinical team leader, explained. “It takes years of working the practice to become certified, and we recently were awarded that distinction.” Evidence-based programs like FFT are essentially a set of therapeutic practice methods, guidelines, training and documentation that have been rigorously researched to determine what works over time. Functional Family Therapy was created by Drs. James Alexander and Bruce Parsons in the late 1960s. In 1998, FFT was established as an evidence-based practice and made available to other organizations like Lena Pope Home. Currently, there are 220 FFT sites worldwide, serving more than 12,000 families. Each year, Lena Pope Home accounts for nearly 600 of those families since the program began in 2007. The weekly conference, called a staffing, is an opportunity for team members to share their cases with each other, get advice and guidance, and brainstorm ideas on how to better help the families they are working with. Given the complexities of the cases, the two-hour meeting only allows for two members to discuss their case files with the group. The Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Department and Tarrant Youth Commission contract with Lena Pope Home to proved FFT to families who are involved with the Juvenile Probation Department. Lena Pope Home was chosen to provide this service because

FFT has been proven successful in treating at-risk adolescents with Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, as well as drug and alcohol abuse issues. Many families enter the program feeling hopeless, angry, and frustrated, and often times have very limited resources. FFT is designed to be a short-term intervention program for at-risk youth, ages 11 to 18, with 12 sessions taking place over a three- to four-month period. To wrap your mind around how it works, it’s helpful to have a Masters degree, like most of FFT’s team members. It appears, from the outside looking in, relatively simple in its approach. However, after listening to a story or two, it becomes clear that each and every case is full of complexities and challenges. As the name implies, the program requires the participation of the entire family. The youth’s parents, grandparents or guardians (whomever is the primary caregiver) must attend, as well as his or her siblings. This strategy focuses on solving family problems from the inside out, before dealing with what’s going on with the child who was referred. It also helps younger siblings learn not to mirror their older brother or sister’s behaviors. As each therapist begins with a new family, they start by targeting risk and protective factors that can be changed, and then systematically work at changing those factors. This is done in three separate phases, which include engagement and motivation, behavior change, and finally generalization. They make it clear to every family member that the process is not about making some of them out to be good and some bad — they simply will learn what they’re up against as a family, and what skills and strengths they have to overcome their problems. In other words, the program doesn’t try to recreate a family’s culture, but rather, build on their attributes while minimizing the risks and weaknesses. Most impressively, FFT therapists find strengths where you’d least expect them and are successful in redefining behavior. As Michael Flores explained, “All behavior is purposeful. We help them define it differently so they can experience it differently.” Elizabeth Brown chimed in, “We help them redefine success, since there is no such thing as perfect behavior. Most of the time, even though a family has destructive behaviors, those behaviors are based on love and caring.”

They discussed a family with a 15-year-old runaway daughter who was referred to the program after a tragic, downward spiral fueled by drugs and other risky behaviors. Now, with just four FFT sessions behind her, it is the daughter who is driving the success of the program, not her mother. Her mom has proved herself unwilling to attend sessions, or even take her daughter to school. How could this behavior have any sort of positive influence behind it? The team suggested that this young girl’s mother was actually protecting her daughter from herself, since she feels like a failure. This simple “reframing” allowed both mother and daughter a new level of understanding of each other. “Lena Pope Home has done an amazing job in setting this team up for success,” Bill commented. “They have put a lot of trust in us, and have provided the resources we need to take this program out into the community. If you wonder about evidence-based practices and what it means to you, FFT is a very successful, working model. I tell people, ‘We don’t refer families to services, we are the service.’”

The Marty Leonard Community Chapel celebrated its 20th anniversary on November 18, 2010. The celebration mirrored the initial dedication with many of the same participants doing special readings and music. Those who attended could hardly believe the stately structure was twenty years old, with its timeless architecture and furnishings.

After the program, guests were treated to a lovely tented dinner on the lawn given by Central

Market, Fort Worth. The occasion was a perfect night of thanksgiving with lush fall flowers, seasonal fare and crisp cool weather.

Our sincere thanks to Central Market, Rent A Frog, the choirs of Saint Andrews and Chapel Hill Academy, each of the program participants, Stoker Resources, and Ken Jorns. We also are very grateful to the many who have sustained the beauty of the Chapel with their gifts and support for the last twenty years.

Labor of LoveJane Lacy arrives at Lena Pope Home around 4:00 p.m. once or twice a week with four children in tow. They check in and sit patiently in the waiting area for someone to come get them.

The Lacy’s are here to learn the value of serving other families, and for the next hour they’ll organize the Project C.A.R.E. food pantry. Wilke, the oldest sibling of the group, quickly takes charge, deciding what items will go where. After six visits to Lena Pope Home, the Lacy family has everything labeled, sorted and easily accessible for those truly in need.

Because of wonderful volunteers like the Lacy’s, the staff at Lena Pope Home are able to focus on the children and families we serve.

Chapel Hill AcademyIt’s nice to have friends in high places. At Chapel Hill Academy, that means sitting in the Reading Friends Chair! Thanks to all our Reading Friends, including Mayor Mike Moncrief, Rosie Moncrief and Commissioner Roy Brooks, for taking time out of their busy schedules to read to Chapel Hill Academy students.

Each year, there seem to be so

many new opportunities across

North Texas for families in need to

get help during the holidays. Yet

each year, the number who come

to Lena Pope Home for assistance

increases. Once again, as in years

past, we were humbled by the

immense amount of help we

received. Even though economic

woes were widespread across

the country, the Fort Worth community gave in such a way

that “our cup runneth over.”

Lena Pope Home children and families were richly

blessed, as were staff members who watched in awe as

countless holiday donors unloaded trailers, trucks, trunk

after trunk, and bag after bag. The enthusiastic volunteers

ranged from Amy’s army of moms and their young sons

teaming with Wellington Insurance, our good friends at

NikeGolf, Alcon’s HR group, our faithful Sprint friends, the

entire Southlake Crossing Animal Clinic who dedicated a

full afternoon on the last day to fill every last wish and get

them delivered, and many more.

Our sincere gratitude is extended to the many

individuals, families, organizations, businesses, and

churches that went above and beyond in their giving,

their shopping and their caring. Your gifts gave children

and families new hope. Thank you.

Higher LearningAt Lena Pope Home, we strongly believe in encouraging further education for our staff. This fall we had several who not only handled their workloads and families, but stretched their days to achieve additional degrees and certifications.

Congratulations to Wayne Vaughn, Executive MBA, TCU; Kristi Ballard LMSW, Licensed Master Social Worker; Erin O’Brien LMSW, Licensed Master Social Worker; Sonya Mosley LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Holidays at the HomeRite of PassageIn December, Jack Sankary honored Lena Pope Home by naming Chapel Hill Academy as the beneficiary of his Bar Mitzvah celebration. He spent a day tutoring one of CHA’s set of twins. “I had a great experience tutoring Solana and Seranata in their reading skills at CHA. I think they learned something and it was fun doing it,” he said. Thank you, Jack, for making a difference.

Continuum of CareLena Pope Home continues to see more children

and families requiring assistance than ever before.

While current economic conditions have resulted

in some reductions from both public and private

funding sources, we are thankful for the many

significant donors that have allowed the agency to

maintain or increase the level of care provided to

clients rather than cutting vital community programs.

These donors include the Amon Carter Foundation,

Rees-Jones Foundation and the BBVA Compass

Foundation, which funded specific programs in

Family Matters Counseling. Many thanks to the

Holland Foundation, Colonial Charities and Nicholas

Ward who have made it possible to maintain our

strong literary focus at Chapel Hill Academy. And

the Morris Foundation continues to support our

partnership with Fort Worth ISD and the alternative

education program. We are grateful for these

community partners who have adopted our mission

so generously.
