MORRISON CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES

Our Vision is that children, youth, and their families will thrive and achieve their full potential when they benefit from our effective behavioral health and prevention services.

Morrison Child and Family Services partners with families and communities to provide effective and responsive services for children and youth coping with adversity and trauma. Morrison delivers specialized services to children, from birth through age 21, and families coping with abuse, neglect, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, mental health difficulties, criminality, and other harmful stress factors. Our award-winning programs recognize and respect cultural differences and support the growth of children to enhance their safety, development, education, and future success.

Our goals include the following:

1. Provide high quality and effective services to children, youth, and their families.

2. Ensure a well-trained, professional, inspired, and supported staff.

3. Maintain balanced budgets to ensure long-term financial stability.

4. Promote our Mission, Vision, Values, and positive contributions throughout the communities we serve.

5. Be an anti-racist community focused organization practicing race equity for all.

1. Continue monitoring client safety protocols and adjust as needed. These protocols reflect all relevant standards and Morrison practices for ensuring the safety and well-being of the children and youth in our care. This includes a focus on facility safety and disaster contingencies.

2. Be data-driven to help us to track progress and inspire innovation. The areas of focus include tracking our service and agency-wide outcomes.

3. Ensure ongoing changes for Morrison wherever we need to make improvements. This effort includes all service programs and administrative functions. We will complete agency-wide tasks for seeking and obtaining Joint Commission accreditation. We will seek Sanctuary Model certification.

4. Implement a foundation/contributor development plan. This target includes timelines with progress indicators for the development team and the Operational and Foundation Board of Directors. Our primary project will be fundraising for the Rotary Youth Center at Morrison for our Sandy location.

5. Develop and implement a state of the art supervisory/leadership training program. This will combine effective formal coaching for staff performance and professional development for ongoing Morrison leadership succession planning.

6. Develop and implement additional community stakeholder partnerships. This focus includes all referral sources, legislature, peer organizations/associations, and our Equity, Inclusion, and Sanctuary Department activities.

7. Create and implement plan for increasing our legislative relationships. Building awareness of both Morrison and child/youth/family issues and pressing needs across the Tri-County region, the state, and the nation will be essential.

8. Craft a 3-year vision plan for all Morrison programs. This plan includes understanding community needs while accurately evaluating funding resources and start up training and cost needs for new programming as we navigate funding fluctuations.

9. Ensure progress for being an anti-racist organization. Continue building awareness and take effective steps toward understanding and interrupting the negative effects of racism while promoting and implementing race equity and inclusion practices throughout Morrison.
