CHILDREN THRIVE KNOWINGYOU’RE WILLING TO GIVE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY
Remember that when you see these girls’ photos inside this newsletter. Also remember the impact an adult can have on a child. Saphire and Scarlett were both on the brink of going down a terrifying, uncertain path — then their environment changed. Adults stepped up and changed their circumstances.
Saphire saw how much her mother worked to make their relationship positive, and she began to match her mother’s effort. Scarlett finally found a home where she was able to learn to trust again.
You have the power to change a youth’s circumstances, and being involved at any level makes a huge difference. Holiday Heroes help ensure children and families in our programs are able to enjoy the holidays. Our corporate and community partners volunteer time to maintain our
group homes. Donors help ensure we’re able to expand our programs and reach more children. Mentors help our youth through difficult times or guide them through life decisions.
I encourage you to look into helping Youth Villages. One person can make a difference, and we see instances of that positive change in youth every day. Thank you for being an integral part of what we do.

saphire and her mother couldn’t have a conversation without getting into a fight. In fact, our family intervention specialist begged the mother to give Saphire another chance before kicking her out of the house. Scarlett was introverted and angry after being abandoned by her biological parents and scarred from a failed adoption.

MIDDLE TENNESSEEPROGRAM SUCCESS
The graph above represents the status of Middle Tennessee youth at one year after discharge through December 2015. Figures include only youth who received at least 60 days of service and reflect a response rate of 48.7 percent. (4,955 out of 10,171)
camellia network, a nonprofit crowdfunding and social support plat-form to help former foster children, recently merged with Youth Villages to enhance and expand the service. Re-named the LifeSet Network to reflect the new partnership, the website allows par-ticipants to help young people transition-ing out of foster care attain their goals by crowdfunding needs registries the young people have designated essential to
achieving a particular goal. For instance, supporters can buy a laptop for a young per-son who is entering college or a set of sheets and towels for a young person who is mov-
ing into her first apartment. Camellia Network founder
and best-selling author Vanessa Diffenbaugh started the network four years ago with the proceeds from
her best-selling book “The Language of Flowers.” It has since given more than 300 former foster youth the chance to connect with more than 1,600 supporters who provide resources and help-ing relationships.
“The LifeSet Network lets folks who want to support these young people who are
close to achieving an impor-tant life goal easily help them with some concrete needs – the same way a parent would,” said Youth Villages CEO Patrick Lawler. “This platform helps showcase the incred-ible potential of these young adults and democratizes funding so virtually anyone can help.”

SAPHIRE AND MOM’S RELATIONSHIP FLOURISHES
Intercept success
Saphire, 17, and her mother, Yvonne, had given up on their relationship. They couldn’t have a simple conversation with-out fighting.
“When I began working with them, I begged Yvonne to give us time to see changes before deciding to put Saphire out
of her home,” said Shandi Peters, Youth Vil-lages family intervention specialist. “I also begged Saphire not to leave.”
Saphire was sad and had a temper. She lashed out when she was angry, throwing things, becoming aggressive and yelling. At age 5, she witnessed her father pass away and later experienced physical abuse. She has post-traumatic stress disorder.
“Our home was a tornado before Shandi came,” Saphire said. “Not long ago, I was hospitalized after a drug overdose and Mom almost went to the hospital for her extreme anxiety.”
Yvonne and Saphire had tried nu-merous in-home therapy services and programs for youth with difficult behav-iors. Nothing had worked. Youth Villages’
Intercept intensive in-home program was a last resort.
“I had no energy left and I needed help,” Yvonne said. “I wanted Saphire locked up because I didn’t know how to deal with her.”
Yvonne and Saphire’s biggest hurdle was learning how to communicate with each other. When they fought, their com-munication broke down completely.
“Saphire would walk away from our fights, and I felt disrespected,” Yvonne said. “I thought she didn’t care about our relationship. But something clicked when Shandi explained that Saphire and I have different ways of handling our anger.”
With Shandi’s help, Yvonne learned that Saphire needed time to cool down.
“As soon as Saphire started seeing her mom make changes for her, she softened,” Shandi said. “Saphire realized they are in this together and started put-ting her all into their relationship.”
The Youth Villages Intercept program provides treatment to troubled chil-dren and families in their own homes. Treatment includes family therapy, mental health treatment, parenting skills education and resources for long-term support. Shandi met with the family an average of three times weekly and was on call around the clock.
“We were full of hope after we noticed ourselves fighting less,” Yvonne said. “We took notes on each other and showed Shandi, hoping each week there would be more we could work on together.”
With Shandi’s help, Saphire and Yvonne have become a team. Saphire spends hours cleaning the house, and Yvonne never fails to thank her. They talk about their days together and joke about how often they used to fight.

IS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE ADOPTION PROCESS.
Scarlett, 16, hopped on the living room couch with a cookie and a glass of milk. She brushed her hair out of her face and giggled.
“When I first moved into Jack and Christy’s foster home, I was very quiet,” Scar-lett said. “I kept to myself and had a horrible temper.”
Scarlett faced abandon-ment in her biological home. She lived with numerous fos-ter parents and experienced a failed adoption.
“She had a hard time devel-oping positive and trusting relationships,” said Tara Shep-herd, Scarlett’s Youth Villages counselor. “She was introverted, self-harming and angry.”
But with Jack and Christy, Scarlett experienced a loyal relationship for the first time.
“She was adopted into an open-minded, nonjudgmental and loving forever family,” Tara said. “After a few months with them, Scarlett blossomed.”
Jack and Christy provide Scarlett with unfailing sup-port. They meet with a physi-cian to maintain a healthy balance of medication. They look for new ways to help increase her confidence.
“Scarlett has an exception-
ally good sense of humor and she is witty,” Christy said. “She is fun to be around, and we encourage her to be herself.”
Scarlett used to hide be-hind her long black hair. She wouldn’t speak to anyone unless her hair covered most of her face.
“Every time we spoke, we reminded her that we wanted
to see her pretty face,” Christy said. “After a while, she didn’t feel the need to hide anything.”
Scarlett’s temper tantrums lasted for days when she first entered Jack and Christy’s home. Now, she draws, jour-nals and writes fan fiction to cope with her emotions in a healthy way.
“She’ll always have stabil-ity here,” Jack said. “She will
attend the same school for more than one year for the first time in her life. She’ll go to prom, graduate and re-ceive her diploma with these classmates.”
Scarlett’s personality shines with Jack and Christy’s encouragement. Their stable home allows her to be confi-dent and comfortable in her own skin.
“My attitude and behav-ior have improved because Christy and Jack accept me for who I am,” Scarlett said.

DEER VALLEYCAMPUS UPDATE
Last year, Youth Villages’ Middle Tennes-see board visited Youth Villages’ Deer Valley Campus in Linden, where they learned how youth at the facility are helped. They also formed a task force to solicit donations and volunteer help to provide a movie screen and projector, popcorn maker and PA system for the campus. In addition, the task force has collected much-needed clothing and coats for the youth, as well as received numerous other educational and household items, including textbooks, classroom furniture and computers. Additional clothing, shoes, books, DVDs and sports equipment are still needed.
The task force is also planning a career day at Deer Valley in June to help youth at the campus with resume building, job interview skills and dressing for success. The career day will also have a job fair where the youth can learn about different job opportu-nities and professions.
For information on how you can support Deer Valley, please contact Greg Schott at [email protected].
