2014
Annual Report
Welcome to Development Centers
Dear Friends
Wow, what a year! 2014 marked a time of unprecedented growth for
Development Centers.
In response to a 70 million dollar investment in Detroit children and
families, we applied for and received a federal grant to provide high
quality early care programming for children birth to five. In partnership
with four local human service agencies, Starfish
tarfish Family Services, Focus
Hope and Southwest Solutions, we created Thrive by Five Detroit
Detroit, an
innovative model of Head Start and Early Head Start. Development
Centers now offers center-based
based EHS/HS programming to over 250 young
children in Detroit out of 5 community-based
based locations.
From screening, diagnosis and treatment, we provide services that regard
all persons with dignity and respect, while helping them manage their
illness in a way that interrupts their lives as little as possible. We give
them hope through the knowledge that mental illnesses are treatable
conditions and we are here to help.
Looking
oking forward to 2015, we are excited to open our McKenny Center.
After several years of research, planning and renovations, we are pleased
to see our vision of a community-based
based facility, complete with an
integrated health clinic, offices, group space and
an gym come together.
With the integrated health clinic, consumers can have both physical and
mental health concerns identified and treated, all under one roof.
As a result of this expansive
growth, I am proud to say
that Development Centers
now has over 300 staff
operating out of 18 different
locations across the city.
While making this dramatic leap into the world of Head Start, we remain
committed to the services that helped us build our reputation and
mission. We hold steadfast in our dedication to supporting the healthy
development of children, adults and families through mental health,
employment and related human service programming.
During this past year, our PATH Program (Partnership, Accountability,
Training, Hope) received numerous awards for their record
record-setting
placement off individuals into paid employment. This relentless
commitment to help secure employment for persons receiving cash
assistance benefits has allowed several hundred people to move towards
self-sufficiency.
Our mental health programs for infants, children
n and adults strive to
ensure the healthy development of not just individuals, but entire
families.
It is through the expertise and commitment of our staff, coupled with the
trust that our consumers have in us, that we were able to serve over
11,000 consumers this year. We remain grateful for the generosity of our
friends, funders, donors and volunteers whose support drives the
services we provide.
Please look through this report
ort to learn more about our
mission and how you can become a part of it.
Thank you for joining us along this journey.

SCHOOL BASED PROGRAM
Our School Based Program is committed to providing the youth at select
Highland Park and Detroit Public Schools with a continuum of care aimed at
addressing barriers to learning. A broad and flexible array of mental health
services & supports are provided directly within the schools inclusive of:
prevention & early intervention, mental health education and treatment, as
well as assessments for emotional & behavioral risk factors.
DC works to improve access to mental health services for particularly
vulnerable children. Prevention services seek to provide supportive care for
youth at risk of developing severe behavioral or substance abuse disorders.
Therapeutic services seek to promote recovery and healthy behaviors for
youth with more severe emotional disorders (SED).
DC Prevention Coordinators, Case Managers and Therapists are trained to
collaborate with our educational partners to work towards a shared agenda
that provides children, adolescents and their families with effective
programming to promote both healthy development and school success.
Quality of care is a core value of School Based services and emphasis is
placed on utilization of Evidenced Based practices in both treatment and
the prevention curriculum. School Based prevention focuses on
strengthening a child’s social and academic skills together with enhancing
peer relationships, self-control, coping, and drug-refusal skills.
Mental health education and treatment in schools promotes accessibility to
care, and opportunities for early intervention for behaviors that when left
untreated can result in the need for more extensive and long term care.

Crisis Intervention
Screening, Linking and Referrals
Diagnostic Assessments
