2 Mission & Areas Served Statements Mission Statement To educate and assist individuals in the change process needed to live lawfully in society free of substance abuse. Background Statement The Dismas House of Kansas City, Inc.'s was introduced to Kansas City, Missouri in the spring of Our basic mission is to educate and assist men and women to live lawfully in society free of substance abuse. According to the agency's history, the name "Dismas" represents the "good thief" on the cross who in his dying hour asked to be remembered in paradise. The concept was simply it's never too late to reform if an individual so chooses. Dismas House Kansas City, Inc., has an established successful track record of providing effective community based life skills enhancement services to thousands of men and women who at least one time in their lives obstructed the law within the United States. Our geographical reach includes but is not limited to Jackson County and neighboring counties (such as Johnson County and Wyandotte County). In 2017, Dismas House KC will provide more than 150,000 hours of outpatient substance abuse treatment and basic life skills services to more than 3000 men and women who are seeking freedom from addictions and lawless behaviors. At least eighty-one percent of the people served will avoid returning to incarceration for new offenses and sixtyfive percent will abstain from drug use. These outcomes will translate into a savings to tax payers in millions of dollars per year. The savings alone substantiate the need for Dismas services; not to mention the lives that are transformed. Consistently, Dismas House of Kansas City, achieves successful outcomes that exceed national benchmarks. Impact Statement In 2016, Dismas House KC successfully and effectively touched the lives of over 3000 men and women seeking recovery. Dismas House focuses on helping individuals suffering from addiction and/or mental health issues, many of whom have some criminal history in their lives, sometimes brought on specifically by their addiction or mental illness. The majority of these individuals are indigent, under-served and uninsured, and sometimes feel abandoned and hopeless. Through the precious acts of kindness by our Kansas City philanthropic community and funded contract services Dismas House was able to increase its service capacity in Dismas House increased its targeted program outcomes. Approximately 75% abstained from drug use and 80% did not recidivate. We maintained contact with approximately 80% of clients (Life Recovery Members) after they completed their initial treatment and/or recovery services with Dismas House. (In 2011 after reflecting on the type of long term relationship we offer and hope to maintain with each client, our staff redefined those clients as "Life Recovery Members" signifying a lifelong relationship.) We continued this concept and name change in 2012 and it appears to have very positive influence on our relationship with our Life Recovery Members or LRMs. Dismas House will maintain its basic service goals for 2017 for its Life Recovery Members: 1.Reduce or eliminate any drug or alcohol use. 2. Improve LRM's overall legal status in the community so they can enjoy living freely with their families in their homes and communities. 3.Help LRM's secure and/or improve employment status. 4. Help each individual identify with a higher power to lean on through his or her journey of life. We continue to grow and are now faced with having to once again expand our program space to accommodate the people coming to us for help.

Our mission is to assist individuals in a change process needed to live lawfully in society free of substance abuse. Through 40 plus years of faithful service Dismas House has developed a healing and correctional counseling approach to re-entry and substance abuse counseling services that has consistently produced success.

According to the U.S Department of Labor, the annual cost of on-the-job substance abuse is estimated to be $100 billion. More than half of all child abuse is directly related to drug abuse. National Justice Department figures report that over 60% of criminal arrests relate to illicit drug affiliations in some way. Substance abuse is systematically eating away at the very fiber of the family and societal structure of America. Despite the devastating affect existing in our country concerning substance abuse, (especially as it relates to violence and criminal activity), it can be treated and prevented by changing behavior. Focusing on the five key criteria for influencing and changing behavior, ( Attitude, Commitment, Environment, Resources, and Spirituality,) Dismas house has experienced successful outcomes of offenders and/or substance abusers that 5
