1 – ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013

Dear Friends,Vista Del Mar has thrived for more than 106 years because of its ability to adapt to meet the needs of ourcommunity, while remaining a cornerstone of critical services for the children and families of Los Angeles.This fiscal year marked a transition in leadership and formation of a new strategic plan, supported by theBoard of Directors and Senior Staff, who will identify future growth areas and prioritize current offerings. The plan begins to identify current and future areas of excellence that will give Vista an advantage now andfor years to come. We will address our communities’ growing special needs population, which directlyimpacts the number of children seeking admission to our schools. In addition, we will identify special educational areas of excellence, including arts enrichment and technology, to keep Vista on the forefront ofinnovation. Similarly, the growth in the number of children with autism will challenge Vista to create anAutism Center of Excellence to develop the best mix of quality services for these children, while providingparents with clinical services and emotional support. The demand for high-quality mental health services currently provided by Family Service of Santa Monica isgreater than ever before, due to the lack of funds to serve emotionally disturbed children. The same couldbe said of the demand for residential services for youth, which are woefully under-funded, or the need formore capacity at Home-Safe, our early childhood neglect and abuse prevention program.As we welcome incoming Chairman Philip Stein, and as Dr. Josephson begins his second year at the helm ofVista, we are more committed than ever to engage the community, raise the funds, and provide the leadership to ensure that Vista will continue to provide the excellent services that can change a child or family’s life and make our community even stronger.Warm regards,
