Henry Hall recently joined the United Methodist Children and Family Services of Missouri (MCS) as Team Leader at Hayes House, 6186 Kingsbury.
Hayes House is the open-structure unit of the social service agency. The United Methodist-supported agency has a girls’ campus in suburban Webster Groves and a boys’ campus in south St. Louis, in which a total of 50-55 children reside.
Hayes House has been licensed as a group home facility in the SkinkerDeBaliviere neighborhood since 1967. Older children from both the boys’ and girls’ campuses are offered the alternative of living in the family environment of Hayes House, based on in:depth evalutions by peers, child-care workers, social workers, teachers, and other agency staff.
Presently, Stephanie Collier, Elston Majors, Michael Chesnut, Gina Rieken, Terri Chisham (ages 16-19), and three house parents, Dan Goldman, Claudette Manns, and Mary Emery reside at Hayes House. The five children living at Hayes House are constantly encouraged to get constructively involved in school, community activities or activities that will aid them when they leave “home”. The children are required to attend school or maintain a part-time job, as well as handle various household chores and responsibilities in order to remain a part of the Hayes House “Family”.
As Team Leader for Hayes House, Henry Hall is responsible for developing special activities, planning a weekly group meeting, and helping “family” members understand the significance of the group’s home concept.
“Giving love, warmth, caring, and help in working out everyday problems in the hope they will be more productive persons once fully matured,” is how House Parent “Uncle” Dan Goldman sees the purpose of Hayes House. House parents “Mama” Claudette Manns and “Lil Sis” Mary Emery describe the group home, “as a source for development for everyone involved,” and further, “an opportunity for kids who felt oppressed by society and (through the group home) a chance to return with less bitterness.” Hopefully, the children will maintain a greater emphasis on their future lives.
Hayes House invites members of the neighborhood to visit them at 6186 Kingsbury or call them at 863-2116.
