Given that there is no distinction to be made between "principal," "earnings," "income," "interest, and "appreciation," it is recognized that the endowment supports the operating needs of the agency from total investment return, which encompasses both income and capital appreciation. Allocations made by the endowment for the general support of agency operations will be guided and determined by agency spending policy. Part X, Line 2: The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) provides guidance for how uncertain income tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organization's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year. For the year ended June 30, 2019, management has determined there are no uncertain tax positions. Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: Fundraising Expenses -79,541.

Program Overview Beech Brook... Helping children and families since 1852 In 1852, when Beech Brook opened its doors as Cleveland's first orphanage, it was the beginning of a long legacy of caring for the children of Northeast Ohio. Today, as a leading mental health agency and child welfare agency, Beech Brook's 200 plus-member staff serves more than 15,000 children, teens and families. From prevention and early intervention programs to intensive treatment for the most seriously disturbed youth, Beech Brook helps to heal troubled children and strengthen families through these and other mental health services: Therapeutic Foster Care Beech Brook's Therapeutic Foster Care is a community-based, mental health foster care program built upon the Teaching Family Model - a strength-based, skills-building treatment model. Therapeutic Foster Care admits children/teens who have recently stepped down from or who are at risk of stepping into a higher level of care, e.g., residential treatment or hospitalization. Frequently these children have a history of major problems in their physical health, school adjustment, peer and adult relationships, and emotional stability. Beech Brook also provides specialized and traditional foster care for children and teens whose mental health needs are less severe. Bridges The Bridges Program provides services to young adults who have left foster care and provides guidance and support as they transition to adulthood. School-Based Mental Health Programs Beech Brook provides mental health support and services to children in elementary schools throughout the Cleveland Municipal School District and in several suburban districts. Working hand-in-hand with children, teachers, administrators and families, Beech Brook helps children to overcome the mental health problems that are getting in the way of their success. This program offers both individual and family counseling, support groups, medication somatic services, parent support and education and linkage with community resources. Adoption Since 1852, placing or reuniting children with families has been at the heart of Beech Brook's mission, and the agency has an extensive history of promoting permanency for a wide variety of special needs children, including those with the most intensive treatment needs and with a history of multiple placements. Outpatient Mental Health Services When children or teens are struggling with emotional or behavioral problems, Beech Brook's Outpatient Mental Health Clinic provides a variety of therapy and support services for them and for their families, including individual and parent counseling; mental health assessment; safety and treatment planning; and access to psychiatric services. Family Preservation When a child is at risk of an out-of-home placement because of severe emotional or behavioral problems, Family Preservation provides intensive, short-term in-home therapy and crisis intervention services to stabilize and support the family before and after reunification. Family Preservation staff is available 24 hours a day/ seven days a week for a limited time to provide mental health services as well as linkage to community resources. Family Preservation services are offered in Cuyahoga and Summit Counties. Project STRIDE Project STRIDE (Skill Building, Teaching, Role Modeling, Independence, Development, and Empowerment) matches adult mentors to youth in foster care with a focus on increasing placement stability for at-risk youth through emotional support and establishing long-lasting bonds. ACT Team for Transitional Youth The Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) helps troubled teens and young adults, aged 16-22, achieve a healthy transition into independence and adulthood. The only team of its kind serving this age group in Northeast Ohio, the multidisciplinary team works together to provide each individual with the right mix of treatment and support. Most services are provided in the home or community. The ACT Team has had excellent results in preventing hospitalizations and keeping clients living successfully in the community. SAFE (Successful Alliance for Family Engagement) Beech Brook's SAFE Program is part of the Cuyahoga County Tapestry of Care. The goal of the SAFE Program is to keep children with serious mental health issues in their families and communities and out of residential treatment or the juvenile justice system. SAFE Care Coordinators are able to purchase services as needed to wrap a safety net of mental health and support services around each child and family. Family Health Family Health encompasses a wide range of school-based and community-based programs designed to strengthen and support families and children. Among the many programs operating under the umbrella of Family Health are the following: - Comprehensive sex education for students in Cleveland and surrounding school districts; - Seminars for divorcing families help parents understand and work to minimize the trauma of divorce on their children; - The Family Drop-In Center provides education, support groups and resources for low-income families. The center is located in the Carl B. Stokes Social Services mall and is operated in partnership with the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority. - Integrated Care services include access to family doctor and medical team, referrals to specialty care, counseling, social services, parenting, health and wellness, and links to other providers. Early Childhood Services Beech Brook's Early Childhood Program serves children from birth to age six to identify and address problems early in life, giving children a better chance for success in school and in life. The Early Childhood staff provides outpatient and early intervention services; day care consultation and training; behavioral screening and assessments; and consultation and training to other community organizations. STEPS: Security, Touch, Eyes, Play and Sound. STEPS is an Early Brain Development Curriculum for parents of children ages 0-5. This curriculum was developed to assist parents with understanding the importance of early brain development and developmental stages. Parents are given the tools to "wire up" their child's brain to ensure that young children are on task for lifelong learning.
