Prevent Child Abuse America

Ou r O rg a n i z a ti o n
Since its founding in 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America) has led the way in the effort to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nations children. Headquartered in Chicago, PCA America works with chapters in 41 states to prevent child maltreatment at the national, state and local levels. Its programs, prevention initiatives, advocacy and research are integral to educating the public that prevention is possible.

Letter from Anne Reiniger, Board Chairwoman

For more than 30 years, PCA America has worked to build awareness and implement actions that empower government officials, communities and individuals to help prevent the abuse and neglect of our nations children. While our mission remains unchanged, in 2006, we continued to reaffirm and refine how we can best achieve this noble cause. Not only is prevention possibleit is paramount. In 2006, the Board of Directors voted to hire Jim Hmurovich, who had been serving as PCA Americas interim Chief Executive Officer, because he possesses the expertise, energy and urgency to unite others to nurture and protect this countrys most vulnerable citizens. Jims extensive career in managing statewide corrections and social service systems positions him to understand the overwhelming need for preventing child abuse and neglect. Maltreatment of children affects far more than the child. It vastly contributes to a drain on our countrys resources, ranging from welfare, juvenile justice, prison and mental and physical health services to name a few. Addressing child abuse and neglect after it has occurred is far more costly than preventing it from occurring in the first place. To provide a better future for children, PCA America aims to enact changes in how we think about supporting families so communities across the country can flourish. To help enable this change, in 2006, we developed the framework for a Winds of Change campaign to Turn Choices into Change. This evolving movement communicates change is on the horizon, even imminent, and begins to set a tone for 2007 encouraging all of us to affect change by the choices we make. While no one person can do everything, everyone can make a choice to do something. We can make choices to learn positive parenting skills, lend a helping hand to struggling families, advocate on behalf of children, support child abuse prevention initiatives and lobby local and state governments to better support families. The board of directors chose to contribute to this important calling by prioritizing the financial health of our organization. By diversifying our revenue sources, growing our endowments and improving attendance and support at special events, we have better positioned PCA America to be more successful with the important initiatives it has underway. No one organization can accomplish this alone. We need your help. Only together can we turn choices into change and prevent the abuse and neglect of our nations children. Anne Reiniger Board Chairwoman

Letter from James Hmurovich, President and CEO

As the Chief Executive Officer of the nations oldest and leading non-profit organization to prevent child abuse, my colleagues across the nation and I wake up every day with the single-minded purpose to prevent child abuse. This is not a fight for a few thoughwe need the understanding, support and actions of a nation. Far too often we hear about the tragedy of children who are abused and neglected by the people who are supposed to love them. Throughout my 30+ year career working within the welfare and criminal justice systems, I can think of few cases where parents intentionally set out to harm their children. Instead, far too often, less-than-ideal circumstances converged to set in motion an unfortunate pattern of abuse and neglect. Preventing child abuse is no easy undertaking. It is far more complex than preventing Americans from smoking, drinking and driving, or eating healthier and exercising to stall heart disease and cancer. It is much more than simply hoping parents will love their childrenbecause most do. Rather, to prevent child abuse we must reduce the risk factors that can sometimes lead to abuse. The risk factors are numerous: a history of being abused oneself as a child, a lack of knowledge of age-appropriate behaviors for children, limited or no support from family or friends, unemployment, drug and alcohol addictions, or limited access to gainful employment, housing or health care. If our desire is to live in safe, productive and thriving communities we must put actions behind the adage that children are our future. We must turn rhetoric into action and mobilize to support families. We all fail when children are denied the kind of safe home and healthy family they deserve. Alternatively, we all benefit when a child is given a safe, healthy and nurturing environment in which to thrive. My colleagues and I are committed to working to ensure that the actions of every policymaker, business leader, community leader and individual support children and their families. The choices we make today will impact the future for all of us. I was recently reminded of the power of our choices by a woman who mailed a small package to me. The package contained a handmade doll and a note. The note said, I am without means but I can knit. Please ensure this doll gets to a child who might find comfort with it. She enclosed a check for $5. Maybe that doll will not change the world, but it might change the world of the child who receives it and then the lives of those who come into contact with that child as he or she grows into adulthood. And just maybe that child will be the person whose destiny is to change the world for all children. Collectively, our individual actions can add up to sweeping changes. James M. Hmurovich President and CEO

Winds of Change
PCA America is working to change public understanding of child abuse prevention so policies can be developed that provide better opportunities for families and improve the lives of our nations children. This is important because child abuse and neglect is a significant and preventable public health problem in the United States. It permeates societytouching communities of all sizes, schools, places of employment, houses of worship, medical facilities and neighborhoods. Child maltreatment can interfere with healthy brain development and cause a range of physical, mental and social problems. Neglect or abuse that occurs at a young age initiates a domino effect in the development of children that can lead to poor school performance, an increased need for special education services, juvenile delinquency and adult criminality. Prevention is the only long-term, comprehensive, effective solution to combat these issues. PCA America intends to change the manner in which Americans view, interpret and understand why the prevention of abuse and neglect of our nations children is so important to the social, political and economic development of our country. Explore the different divisions at PCA America to better understand how the organization and its prevention partners are working to support families and enact change in our communities.

Our Organizations Choices are Affecting Change

PCA America
Chapter Services
Operating under the belief that prevention efforts are best implemented at the state and community level, PCA America provides a strategic framework for prevention planning to its 41 state chapters. All chapters offer a broad range of parent support programs, prevention education and public awareness activities. All share a common mission to prevent child abuse and neglect. PCA America provides chapters with information and materials for building and nurturing successful boards, raising awareness through media and marketing campaigns, fundraising, planning events, educating policymakers to support prevention efforts and offering evidenced-based prevention programs for local implementation.

Child Abuse at a Glance

There is no single cause of child abuse. It is a problem that intersects populations without regard to socioeconomics, race or ethnicity. The younger the child, the greater the risk of abuse or neglect. More than 80 percent of child abuse and neglect deaths are children four years of age and younger. The majority of abuse and neglect perpetrators are: Caucasian, the biological parent and in two-parent households. The majority of abuse perpetrators are male. The majority of neglect perpetrators are female. The most prevalent age range of perpetrators for both abuse and neglect is 20-24 years of age. Boys are the victims of physical abuse almost three times more than girls.

In 2006, PCA America gave special focus to these areas:

Hosted an annual meeting for chapter executive directors to focus on leadership development and share best practices. Helped chapters revise their charters to become more outcome driven by offering evidence-based programs and services. Worked to establish chapters in states where they do not exist.

Additionally, the chapter services division gave special focus to the BECAUSE Kids Count! project. This projects purpose, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is to build the capacity of the national networks of three organizations working to prevent child abuse and neglect: PCA America, Parents Anonymous and the National Alliance of Childrens Trust and Prevention Funds. In 2006, these organizations shared information about the kinds of prevention strategies and programs that are being implemented across their respective networks. In 2007, PCA America, as well as its fellow grantees, will focus on how to build a culture of evaluation across the networks to ensure all future prevention activities have evidence supporting their development. The new collaboration also will help the organizations better respond to emerging policy and program issues at the federal level.

Healthy Families America (HFA) is PCA Americas premier prevention program. It is a voluntary home visitation program for new and expectant parents which helps ensure children get a healthy start in life. Trained home visitors work with overburdened families in more than 400 communities in 35 states to support parents understanding of the importance of prenatal and well-baby care, including immunizations for their children. HFA home visitors also connect families to supportive social services and work with parents to help them understand their childs capabilities at each developmental stage and implement positive forms of discipline. Research shows HFA programs have increased the number of children with access to primary health care services; increased immunization rates; increased utilization of prenatal care; improved parent-child interaction and school readiness; decreased dependency on welfare; and most importantly reduced child maltreatment. In 2006, HFAs national office focused on a number of important initiatives:
For more than 130 years, Foresters has been providing life insurance protection to its members while dedicating itself to community initiatives that support children. Foresters is proud to be a long-standing partner of Prevent Child Abuse America having supported many of the organizations key programs that have helped raise awareness that prevention is possible. George Mohacsi, President and CEO, Foresters

The national office began updating the credentialing process to ensure the highest quality service provision throughout the program network. HFA assisted its two regional officesin the Midwest and Western regions of the United Statesto ensure comprehensive and timely services to all sites nationwide. With the support of the Pritzker Early Childhood Foundation, HFA offered new training to help home visitors better engage and assess families with challenging issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse and maternal depression.

www.healthyfamiliesamerica.org
Lastly, HFA continued to support the wide-ranging research efforts taking place at the state level. For example, Healthy Families New York finished its second year of a three-year study to evaluate the impact of its home visitation services. Compared to parents in a randomized control group, participants who received services from Healthy Families New York: reported fewer acts of abuse and neglect that were substantiated by Child Protective Services; were less likely to favor physical punishment as a discipline approach; were less likely to have inappropriate expectations for their children; had a greater knowledge of child development; delivered significantly fewer low-birth weight babies; and were more likely to have health insurance for their children. Strong outcomes such as these led HFA to be rated as a proven program by the RAND Corporation and an effective program by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Department of Justice.

Comments from a few of the 50,000 families who have received support from HFA:
Healthy Families has been a wonderful asset in my life. I now have confidence in my parenting skills and I have learned how to ask questions about my needs and my childs needs. Healthy Families is very important to me because before I joined, I had no idea how a baby should be raised and how it would develop. The program has taught me so much about my babys needs.

PCA America
Child abuse has long range effects.
90% of imprisoned male felons were abused as children. 70% of teenage drug abusers report abuse in his or her childhood. More than 50% of violent female criminals were sexually or physically abused as children. 95% of teenage prostitutes have child abuse histories. Abused children often become adults who repeat the violent, abusive acts they experienced.

Research

Established in 1986, the National Center on Child Abuse Prevention Research, an arm of PCA America, conducts research to better understand the complex causes of child abuse and neglect and how and when prevention strategies are effective. The research is disseminated to organizations and individuals across the nation contributing to a growing body of research about child maltreatment. One area of focus for the research arm of PCA America is evaluating the effectiveness of various prevention programs in community settings.

Advocacy

Due to the long-term emotional, physical and economic effects of child maltreatment, PCA America believes preventing child abuse and neglect should be a top public policy priority. PCA America collaborates with state chapters and Healthy Families America sites across the nation to promote legislation, policies and programs that help prevent child maltreatment, support healthy childhood development and strengthen families. Highlights from 2006 included: PCA America played a leading role in advancing the Education Begins at Home Act, legislation that would provide home visitation services such as Healthy Families America to more families. Home visitation services give parents access to resources that help get children off to a healthy start. PCA America helped organize two Congressional briefings to help policymakers understand how quality early childhood home visitation programs lead to proven, positive outcomes for children and families, including improved school readiness, better child health and development, improved parenting practices and reductions in child maltreatment. PCA Americas advocacy efforts, in partnership with the national Home Visiting Coalition, resulted in the first ever Congressional hearing on early childhood home visitation. PCA America supported many federal policies and appropriations for child abuse prevention initiatives and launched an online action center to keep individuals and organizations informed. These communications allowed advocates to share prevention information with their elected officials in an effort to enact positive change in their communities.

PCA America hosts the only national prevention conference in the country and it is held every other year. This conference serves to mobilize and align the prevention efforts of hundreds of individuals and organizations working to support families. In May 2006, more than 1,200 people gathered for a four-day conference to learn the latest in prevention strategies, research and best practices. Attendees included professionals in social work, human services, health care, home visitation, research, child care, advocacy and more.

2006 National Conference

PCA America honored families by welcoming attendees children to the conference. Special learning and leisure activities were designed with families in mind. Both families and individuals were invited to participate in several community outreach initiatives in the conference host city, San Diego, California. PCA America organized volunteers to distribute more than 10,000 blue ribbons, symbolizing child abuse prevention, and positive parenting literature to attendees at a Padres baseball game. Dr. Harvey Karp, a nationally renowned pediatrician and child development specialist, also offered a free public lecture on his Happiest Baby on the Block techniques for calming crying infants. PCA America wishes to thank its conference sponsors Foresters, Verizon Wireless, Conversations that Count, My Family Farm and Georgia State University for their generous financial support, giving child advocates across the nation the opportunity to assemble and learn more about the promise of prevention.

Dozens of workshops focused on the physical, psychological and economic impact of child abuse and neglect. Some sessions focused on non-profit management, fundraising, volunteer recruitment and mobilizing communities to support prevention initiatives. Other workshops helped participants better understand how to effectively raise public awareness of child abuse and neglect and how to advocate and garner legislative support for prevention programs. The 2006 conference, Americas Families: We All Play a Supporting Role, also recognized the contributions of individuals who have provided exemplary leadership in both their professional and volunteer efforts as child advocates.

PCA America
Factors that help prevent child abuse include:
Supportive family and friends Strong bonds between parents and children Education of good parenting skills and knowledge of age-appropriate development and behaviors of children Access to health care and social services Employment and adequate housing

Education

Highlights from 2006 included:

PCA America distributed thousands of publications and brochures aimed at understanding healthy childhood development. Subjects addressed numerous issues such as understanding the importance of prenatal care, how to comfort crying infants and understanding age-appropriate behaviors of children.

Policies PCA America supports:

Home visitations services Parent and caregiver education Early childhood development Substance abuse services Mental health services

PCA America kicked off a national awareness campaign in April 2006. For the 23rd year, the President of the United States proclaimed April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. PCA America chapters organized numerous initiatives to help others understand how their choices can support families and prevent child abuse and neglect. Chapters engaged in such activities as offering parenting classes to the community, engaging the media to cover positive parenting stories and organizing public awareness events.
Since selecting PCA America as our national philanthropy in 1982, our collegiate chapters and alumnae members have passionately embraced the mission of preventing child abuse in our country. Our members have produced creative educational initiatives and established remarkable annual campus-wide fundraising programs to support healthy childhood development. Thank you PCA America for a quarter century of outstanding resources, leadership and inspiration! Ann Braly, Executive Director, Sigma Delta Tau National Sorority

It is not enough to simply say that all children deserve an upbringing free of abuse and neglectactions must be taken to ensure parents, policymakers and the community have the knowledge to make choices that will provide environments where children can thrive. To enable this, PCA America develops and implements numerous initiatives aimed at helping parents, the community and policymakers understand how child abuse and neglect can be prevented.

Winds of Change
The prevention of child abuse and neglect is possible but it will take more than the efforts of one organization. Your help is paramount to change how America supports its families. Here are specific ways you can help.
Praise and encourage children. Support their emotional development so they can reach their full potential. Reach out to families. Provide your time and support to families and children in your neighborhood. Talk to your neighbors about looking out for one anothers children. Support parents to help reduce the stress than can lead to abuse. Listen and reassure them that parenting is difficult and that all parents need help from time to time. Pay special attention to those who have economic, anger or addiction problems. Donate your time and/or money with groups dedicated to supporting families. Link families to services and opportunities in your community such as job training, education, health care, mental health services and support groups. Check on new parents to see how they and the baby are doing. Offer to baby sit to give parents a break. Donate items such as clothing, toys and food to families in need. This can help relieve the financial stress that some parents take out on their children. Advocate for services that support the well-being of families and children. Use your voice and vote to put family-friendly issues and programs on the local, state and federal political agenda.
