This was a document I researched and wrote this proposal for Josie’s Place, a non-profit that offers counseling for bereaved children and adolescents.
The goal of this organization is to provide group counceling support for children and adolescents to help them resolve grief issues over the death of loved ones.
The main challenge for this project was finding statistical data concerning bereaved children along with research articles discussing the negative results of unresolved grief in children, their family, and the community around them.

From a facilities perspective our plan calls for the removal of two 1960s-style,two-story,19-bed residential units and replacing them with two new single -story,twelve bed units.We will also be constructing an additional new 12-bed unit on our campus.These three new units will closely adhere to the design of the Susan Hirt Hagen Hall and recently constructed James N.Herr Hall,which have proven to be an excellent layout for our children.Once the campus master plan is completed,we will have six new units ,each having a capacity of six single bedrooms on each side of the unit.We will be able to serve 72 children of different ages,genders and diagnoses at one time.

Sharing the Sarah A Reed Children's Story in our 147th Year
1. Founded in 1871 Erie, PA
Proudly Serving Children and Families in the Erie Community &
Across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 147 Years
Sarah A. Reed Children's Center is a Sanctuary® Model Treatment Center and is
accredited by The Joint Commission and the American Psychological Association.
A Leader in Children's Mental and Behavioral Health Services
Specializing in Trauma-Informed Care
2. The Story of Sarah Ann Reed
The Reed Family played a leading role in the founding of Erie, PA, and contributed greatly to
helping it grow and thrive. Sarah's great-grandparents, Seth and Hannah Reed, arrived by sailing
ship from Buffalo, NY on July 1, 1795. With their two sons, Manning and Charles J., they
became the first family to settle in Erie. During the summer of 1795, Seth and Hannah welcomed
another son, Rufus, who would later become a prominent leader in many business and civic
activities in Erie. His stately residence at the corner of Sixth and State Street would later become
the first location for "The Home For the Friendless," where Sarah A. Reed devoted 60+ years of
her life to making a difference for Erie's orphaned children, elderly women and homeless mothers
and their children who had no place to turn.
Sarah’s father, William, was born on Jan. 1, 1797, to Charles and Rachel Wyndham Reed. When
William came of age, he moved to Ashtabula, OH, to work in the mercantile trade and the
forwarding business, and he married Elizabeth Ingram Smith in 1821. On March 16, 1838, they
welcomed their eighth and final child, Sarah A. Reed. Sarah's family moved to Erie in 1845
when her father became the Secretary-Treasurer of the Erie Canal Company, which had originally
been organized by William's uncle, Rufus Reed, and Rufus' son, Charles Manning, both of whom
were officers. Rufus Reed was also involved in forming Erie's first active fire company in 1826
and in developing Erie's water system.

Professional Accreditations and Certifications
The Reed House
Sarah A. Reed Children's Center was founded in 1871 in Erie, Pennsylvania, by a group of
30 women interested in helping orphaned and homeless children. Sarah A. Reed was an
original member of this group who founded “The Association for Improving the Conditions
of the Poor, and a Home for the Friendless.” Miss Reed, affectionately known as "Erie's
Grand Old Lady" during the early 1900s, served as President of this organization for 45
years, from 1889 until her death in 1934. Her contributions to the agency were so
substantial that in 1935 the Center was renamed in her honor.
Sarah A. Reed Children's Center has grown significantly over the years, but the heart of the
organization and the mission that Sarah Reed began back in 1871 are still alive and well.
The agency is proud to continue in Sarah's footsteps, providing the necessary mental health
services and behavioral health programs that help 1,700 children and their families out of
crisis each year and onto a healthier, successful future. For example, the agency's Parent-
Child Interaction Therapy gives families the guidance and tools they need to successfully
parent children who display significantly disruptive or oppositional behaviors. Sarah Reed
also offers a wide array of school-based and community-based educational programs
throughout Erie County for students with mental health and behavioral challenges, and its
first- class Residential Treatment Program provides 24-hour intensive treatment, including:
individual, family, and group therapy; art therapy; recreational therapy; medical care and
educational programming for children and adolescents, many of whom have experienced
significant abuse and trauma.
"It is easy to estimate the value of the property
and tell of the thoroughly organized institution
that has grown out of a venture of faith. But
who can estimate the good it has done or
follow its far reaching influences? Volumes
would not tell the story of all the lives it has
helped."

A Top Employer in Erie County
With seven locations in Erie County
and 360 staff members, Sarah A.
Reed Children's Center continues to
be ranked among the top employers
in Erie County.
4. A child's typical length of stay varies from six months to 1.5 years, and our staff
members go above and beyond the call of duty to provide the most normative
experience possible during each child’s stay. This includes daily education classes led
by teachers from the Millcreek Township School District in Sarah Reed's on-site school,
music therapy, expressive arts projects, individualized treatment plans and educational
enrichment outings in the community. Therapy and treatment extends beyond the child
to the entire family whenever possible. Our goal is to affect positive change within the
entire family unit during their time with us, which leads to safer choices, healthier
lifestyles and, ultimately, permanent success.
Sarah A. Reed Children's Center is a leader in the care and treatment of children with severe emotional, mental and behavioral
health challenges, specifically those with significant histories of trauma such as domestic violence and sexual abuse. Our
Residential Treatment Program is exclusively designed to help this fragile population of children (ages 5-18) whose needs and
safety concerns require 24-hour medical and therapeutic supervision.
In 2017, Sarah Reed’s Residential Treatment Program served 51 children from 22 different counties throughout Pennsylvania.
Most of the children are from Erie County, but we also serve children and families from the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and
Philadelphia region. Every child admitted to this program has a mental health diagnosis and many have experienced extreme
trauma and abuse.
One of the key components that sets Sarah Reed apart is we are one of the few agencies in the entire northwestern Pennsylvania
region that is certified in the highly effective Sanctuary® Model. The Sanctuary® Model is an evidence-based, nationally
recognized practice of trauma-informed care that emphasizes resiliency and recovery of people struggling with emotional and
behavioral difficulties and adversities. This treatment model helps to support key competencies that children, youth and
families need to support positive behavioral and mental health resiliency during and in response to stress and recovery from
previous trauma. Left untreated, this can lead to a lifetime of significant impairment in emotional health. Each child's
individualized treatment plan is developed by the child and family team. This team includes the child, family, psychiatrist,
therapist, nurse, case manager, education representative, and representatives from child-serving agencies. Using the Sanctuary®
Model as our guide, we provide successful care for these individuals, giving them the opportunity to excel at home, in school
and in the community.

accredited by the American Psychological Association. The internship funds three full-time training positions beginning in early
August and lasting 12 months, and Sarah Reed will soon have two associates in its Post-Doctorate Program. This cutting-edge
educational program is organized around a set of guided, sequential and comprehensive experiential and didactic practices that
guide the professional growth and development of interns to become competent, ethical and responsible professional
psychologists. Training includes didactic learning, direct/experiential clinical case practice, school-based practice, scholarly
inquiry and research, role modeling and consultation, and provides the interns with a variety opportunities for developing
intermediate and advanced skills in the field of psychology.
Since its inception in 1998, Sarah Reed's Doctoral Internship Program in Professional Psychology has trained students from over
30 colleges and universities throughout the country, including:
Educating Future Leaders: Sarah Reed's Doctoral
Internship Program & Post-Doctorate Program
Over the last decade, Sarah Reed's Residential
Treatment Program has helped 604 children from 44
counties across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
We are very proud of the first-class reputation our
agency has earned in the successful treatment of children
with emotional, mental and behavioral health challenges,
and our staff is highly trained to work with children who
have suffered severe trauma and abuse. Many families
who tour our residential facilities are immediately
impressed by Sarah Reed's warm, personalized campus
atmosphere.
"Children want to stay longer because they feel safe,
secure and are treated with respect. They feel like they
have grown and are part of a family here at Sarah Reed,"
said Dr. Adrienne Dixon, associate vice president
of residential treatment services and community support
at Sarah A. Reed Children's Center.
The success of this program has caused a sharp increase
in demand for Sarah Reed's specialized level of
