Project Re-ED, the Project on the Re-Education of Emotionally Disturbed Children, is a program to provide effective and affordable mental health services for children.
 The program focuses on teaching a child effective ways of acting in and responding to the child’s social groups (family, schools, peer groups) and also working with those social groups to help them provide a more supportive environment for the child.
 It began as a pilot project in the 1960s at two residential facilities in Tennessee and North Carolina.
 It later expanded to more facilities, and the principles of treatment developed in the project have been replicated and adapted in many other programs.
Joseph Sweeney (July 26, 1884 – November 25, 1963) was an American actor who worked in stage production, television and movies.
 His most famous role was as the elderly Juror #9 in the 1957 film "12 Angry Men", the role he originated in a 1954 "Westinghouse Studio One" live teleplay of which the film was an adaptation.
Hillside Family of Agencies  is one of the oldest family and youth non-profit human services organizations in Western and Central New York, USA.
 The agency started as Rochester Female Association for the Relief of Orphans and Destitute Children in 1837.
 The first year 46 children were served.
 The organization was renamed the Rochester Orphan Asylum in 1839, the organization constructed a larger facility in 1844 at Hubbell Park.
 In 1905 the group moved to the current Monroe Ave site.
 To reflect the shift from providing a home for orphans to caring for “dependent and neglected children,” the Rochester Orphan Asylum changed its name in 1921 to Hillside Home for Children.
 Another name change came in 1940 when Hillside Children’s Center was adopted and a goal set: “for every child, a fair chance for the development of a healthy personality”.
 During World War II Hillside Children's Center worked with Eastman Kodak to help the children of Kodak employees in England.
 Between 1940 and 1942, 156 British children were brought to the Rochester area by Kodak to safeguard them from the war in their home country.
 Hillside assisted in placing these “Kodakids,” as they were called, with the families of local Kodak employees or in foster homes for the duration of the war.
 In 1965, Hillside broadened its mission to helping “dependent, neglected, learning disabled, emotionally disturbed, socially maladjusted, and delinquent” children.
 During the 1970s, Hillside Children’s Center experienced great growth.
 The institution began its conversion to a residential treatment center and reopened its campus school, which had been closed since 1931.
 In 1996 a new parent organization, Hillside Behavioral Health System (HBHS), was formed in order to provide services more efficiently and effectively.
 Hillside Children’s Center and Hillside Children’s Foundation served as partner affiliates.
 In 1996 the Wegmans Work Scholarship Connection joined Hillside to become Hillside Work Scholarship.
 In 1999, Hillside Behavioral Health System added to its family when Crestwood Children’s Center and Crestwood Children’s Foundation affiliated with it.
 Hillside Family of Agencies was adopted as the system name in December 2000 to better represent the diversity of services provided by each affiliate.
 In 2004 Hillside absorbed Snell Farms Children's Center and Adoption Resource Network, Inc.
