Dear Friends,

El Nido began the 2012-2013 fiscal year with a positive new development, the reinstatement of Cal-Learn. Cal-Learn is a highly effective and vital program that keeps teen parents in school, reduces subsequent adolescent pregnancies, develops loving effective parents and self-sufficient adults. In the 2011-2012 fiscal year, in response to the State budget crisis, the California legislature suspended funding for Cal-Learn. Since 1995 El Nido has been the largest Cal-Learn provider in the state.

El Nido and LA County partner agencies led a statewide advocacy effort to fully reinstate Cal-Learn. Key to this effort were the former El Nido teen parent clients, now college graduates, who spoke passionately to legislators and made clear how important El Nido and Cal-Learn were in giving them the tools to become strong, contributing members of society.

As a result, the 2012-2013 California budget fully reinstated Cal-Learn. Over the past year, El Nido has hired 22 staff to serve this high-need population. In addition, the dynamic group of former El Nido clients who came together to advocate for the restoration of Cal-Learn have maintained their passion and commitment to give back. They have developed an El Nido Alumni Association for the purpose of providing ongoing advocacy, support and role-modeling that focuses on promoting higher education, careers and positive parenting.

Other highlights of the year were the high marks we received from the City of Los Angeles for our FamilySource Center and our Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) programs. In addition to the highly effective services provided by our staff, a GRYD Leadership Council alumni group has also emerged, consisting of former clients who want to give back through group mentoring, civic engagement, and advocacy. In 2012 El Nido received our first grant from the LA County Department of Mental Health to provide prevention and early intervention services for parents of school age children living in South Los Angeles and Pacoima.

In addition, El Nido is very pleased to have been awarded grants under First 5 LA’s new initiatives, Welcome Baby and Select Home Visitation, shortly after the 2012-2013 fiscal year ended. Both programs promote positive parental attachment and parenting skills, and seek to strengthen families prenatally and early in life to give children the best possible start. El Nido is honored to be partnering with Valley Presbyterian Hospital to implement their Welcome Baby program.

Even as we have been successful in securing new and continued government contracts, reductions in current government grants continue. We’ve taken steps to address the funding challenges. We hired a development director for the first time. We developed an ambitious but realistic strategic plan and updated our mission to include the importance of promoting our families’ physical health and well-being. We continue to strengthen our board. Due to our generous donors, we were able to increase the college scholarships we provided. As we moved into the 2012-2013 fiscal year we saw a number of these efforts paying off, with strong support from several corporations, strong additions to our board and increasing reserves. We are able to serve over 11,000 young people annually because we have funding from all levels of government. However, the viability of all our government contracts depends on strong financial support from the community. We are confident that, as we approach our 90th year serving the Los Angeles community, with your continuing generous support we will make an ever increasing difference in tens of thousands of young lives.

INTAKE & ASSESSMENT, COUNSELING, PARENT EDUCATION & SUPPORT GROUPS,

CASE MANAGEMENT, AND 24 HOUR CRISIS LINE FOR CLIENTS

El Nido’s Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Program provides comprehensive, even life-saving services to children and their family members.

Given the stress families are experiencing, the need for El Nido’s services is greater than ever. Research shows that an economic crisis can have an adverse effect on parent-child relationships.

The program goals are to reduce the symptoms of child abuse, the incidence of repeat abuse, or in cases which no known abuse has occurred, to prevent the likelihood of abuse.

Families of abused, neglected and at-risk children are referred to El Nido Family Centers for comprehensive services by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), schools, and other programs. Some of these children are in foster care and others remain with their families under the supervision of DCFS workers. The program targets South L.A., Wilmington/San Pedro, Pacoima, Mission Hills and surrounding communities.

The treatment process begins with a thorough assessment to identify underlying issues, evaluate strengths and problem areas of child and family functioning. Based on the findings, the counselor and family together set concrete and focused goals for services.

Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment

El Nido’s Master’s-level professionals partner with families to build upon their existing strengths, enhancing family functioning and treating underlying trauma. Counselors empower parents to identify effective strategies, examine how and why they worked, and increase positive practices in place of behaviors that are harmful. Counselors help children to process traumatic memories, overcome problematic thoughts and behaviors, and develop effective coping and interpersonal skills in a supportive environment. Case Managers link families to essential resources in the community including public benefits, emergency assistance (food, clothing, and shelter), health services, childcare, vocational training/placement and domestic violence services. Children affected by abuse/neglect and their families often feel lost and victimized. The strategies employed have helped counter these vulnerabilities, while offering symptom relief and building coping skills.

Outcomes• 97% of families receiving treatment did not have subsequent incidents of child abuse

or neglect reported

• 89% of children who came to the program with symptoms of trauma showed subsequent reduced levels of trauma

• 87% of families receiving counseling showed enhanced parenting skills, improvement in the home environment and/or family functioning

Success Story

Susan is a different person now than when she started with El Nido. She was a young mom and had a two-year-old boy and a newborn baby. She was living in a small apartment with her mother, grandmother, and the father of the baby who were not supportive or understanding of the daily challenges she faced trying to raise her children all by herself. Her family expected her to be responsible for her children during the night, feeding her infant child, taking care of both her children all day, and to still be able to clean their home and have dinner ready by the time they arrived home from work. Sleep deprived and without any help, Susan felt the pressure from these unrealistic expectations. She loved her children and felt that she had to be vigilant to ensure they were safe. Susan’s future did not look promising. She was depressed, suicidal, and was not able to express her feelings or take care of her children. With counseling and support from El Nido Susan learned how to take care of herself and her two children and she was able to keep her children from being placed in a foster home. El Nido’s counselor was able to intervene and work with the grandmother and the father of the children and now they are more understanding and supportive of Susan.

“The other girls in the group understand what I’m going through, I feel like we can help each other.”

PARENTING EDUCATION

El Nido is the largest provider of teen family services in California. Without intervention, teen parents are at higher risk for spending their lifetimes in poverty, dependent on public benefits and without a high-school education. Babies of teen parents are more likely to be born prematurely and underweight, in danger of infant mortality, ongoing health and developmental problems and of becoming teen parents themselves.

Teen parents are often isolated, overwhelmed and unprepared for the challenges of motherhood. Our staff educates and encourages teens, promoting healthy lifestyles, optimal birth outcomes, positive parenting, educational attainment, and vocational success.

Case managers and a nurse assess the unique needs and strengths of each teen family, then link them with resources to address problems and build on assets. El Nido collaborates with partners who provide health and dental care, mental health and substance abuse treatment, domestic violence intervention, academic assistance, vocational training, housing, nutritional and/or income support.

Teen Parent Family Services

Success Story

The Cal-Learn and Adolescent Family Life ProgramsEl Nido staff visits clients in their homes to screen mothers, babies, and households for risk factors such as inadequate prenatal or well-baby care, child abuse/neglect, environmental hazards, domestic violence, substance abuse, depression, and developmental delay. Families assessed as high risk are immediately assigned to a case manager and a treatment plan is created. With helpful information and compassionate guidance, teens become what they want most – to be good mothers who are affirmative role models for their children.

El Nido also works with (and in) schools to enable teens to earn their high-school diplomas or GEDs. Case managers arrange for transportation, child care, volunteer tutors, and offer positive reinforcement to motivate teens to achieve. Clients often report that their case manager was the first person in their lives to believe in them – giving them the confidence they needed to try their best.

Outcomes• 90.83% of clients had health insurance after the program ended

• Only 2.43% of teen clients participating in El Nido’s Teen Family Services Program had a repeat pregnancy

• El Nido Family Centers assisted 6,297 pregnant or parenting teens and their children

When Amy first came to El Nido Family Centers, her daughter was a year old. They both lacked health care and Amy had not taken her daughter to the doctor for her 12 month vaccines. The baby’s father was incarcerated and had no contact with Amy or the baby. Amy lived with her mother and younger brother. Lacking child care, Amy had dropped out of school and spent her days watching TV, sleeping and eating unhealthy foods. Amy’s mother had given up on the idea of her daughter ever graduating from high school.

When case manager Mary first met with Amy, she had no motivation to continue school or get a job

and lacked basic parenting skills. During home visits, Mary helped Amy set goals for her future. Mary referred Amy to parenting classes, arranged for child care and signed Amy and her daughter up for Medi-Cal. Mary helped Amy enroll in adult school and El Nido’s Harold Cares job prep program. Amy learned how to compose a resume, how to network, and an array of social skills. Amy is currently at Van Nuys adult school, actively seeking a job, and takes her daughter to the library to read and check out books once a week. Amy is motivated to become a successful person and now dreams of becoming a social worker to give back what she has received.

Visiting NurseA bilingual Registered Nurse makes home visits to teen mothers during pregnancy and after birth. Drawing on El Nido’s extensive network of community practitioners, the Nurse ensures that clients have access to: primary, preventive, and specialized medical services; breast feeding support; health insurance; nutrition; dental care; mental health care; and substance abuse treatment. Prenatal care classes and a mothers’ support group led by the nurse give teens a forum in which they can share with each other while learning about well-baby care and pregnancy prevention. This program is generously funded by Kaiser Permanente.

Outcomes• 93% of our clients reported increased knowledge of reproductive health

• 75 pregnant/parenting teens and their babies received an array of services from El Nido’s Registered Nurse and 98% of adolescents enrolled received prenatal care

• For mothers who received early care, only 4.5% had premature births vs. an 11.6% premature delivery rate for all births in L.A. County

Best BabiesThe San Fernando Valley Best Babies Collaborative (BBC) is made up of agencies working together to reduce poor birth outcomes in communities with a large concentration of high-risk pregnancies. El Nido counselors work to improve and expand coordinated prenatal and interconception care through intensive in-home case management, social support, health education, and counselingEl Nido’s participation in the Best Babies Collaborative is funded by the Northeast Valley Health Corporation via First 5 LA.

Eva was referred to El Nido Family Centers’ Early Head Start (EHS) program due to her two year-old son’s behavior problems. John had frequent and intense tantrums without apparent reason, including kicking, throwing objects, and excessive uncontrolled energy. When an EHS child development specialist met with Eva and her son, Eva was feeling overwhelmed and confused. She learned that her child’s intellectual capacity was above average and that she needed specialized support and coaching to cope with, and parent her child. Eva was provided therapy services offered by El Nido and was connected with community resources that provided her child with a specialized comprehensive evaluation.

During therapy, Eva disclosed for the very first time that from age six to ten, she had been sexually

abused by a close family friend. She grew up feeling unsafe and unprotected. Due to this traumatic experience, she developed low self-esteem, unreasonable fears, resentment, anger, and low tolerance to frustration. The honest, caring, and assertive professional interaction with her therapist helped this young single mother to change the direction of her life and that of her son.

Today, Eva’s bright son John is receiving appropriate treatment and has a brilliant future. Eva now feels hopeful, having healed the emotional wounds from childhood and learned to coach her son’s behaviors, and assert her feelings in an appropriate manner. She expressed in her own words: “For the very first time I feel I have a place in this world.”

Success Story

Parent Education & Family Development Early Head Start

El Nido Family Centers’ team of child development and health specialists works with low-income pregnant women and parents of children age 3 and under, in our local implementation of this national model. The El Nido team includes a recruitment and enrollment specialist, a school readiness specialist, case managers, a disabilities specialist, a therapist, a registered dietician, a registered nurse, a health and nutrition specialist, and a family and community engagement specialist. The team helps families access medical, dental, and family planning services, monitors for postpartum depression, provides education on healthy meals and feeding schedules for babies, and also assists mothers with breastfeeding education. Home and center-based services engage families and babies in activities that promote motor, language, conceptual, and cognitive skills. Bilingual staff members also educate parents on how to help prepare their children for kindergarten and school success with parent and child activities on-site. 242 infants, toddlers and pregnant women participated in El Nido’s Early Head Start Program.

Outcomes• 100% of children had health insurance by the end of enrollment

• 95.44% of children were developing as expected for social and emotional skills

El Nido’s Parent Education Program is the first line of defense against potential child abuse/neglect, school failure/dropout, teen pregnancy, and other problems. Skilled facilitators teach parents, in a culturally appropriate manner, information about child development, loving discipline methods, strategies for promoting school success, and effective communication.

Prevention and Early Intervention Program - NEW

Early intervention services may avoid the need for more extensive treatment, or prevent problems from becoming worse. Funded by the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health, El Nido offers compelling parenting classes to parents/caregivers of children 0 - 8 in the San Fernando Valley and South Los Angeles, primarily in schools. Clients are adult and teen parents. Many are single parents and a significant number have been victims of domestic violence.

155 participants completed the 13-week Making Parenting a Pleasure series. In a sampling of participants, 100% said they planned to implement the parenting strategies discussed, and 100% felt they were more competent as parents.

Financial Literacy Program

With the support of Citibank and Wells Fargo, El Nido conducted several financial literacy classes for over 150 low- to moderate-income El Nido clients in Pacoima and Compton.

Many families have never had a bank account, instead relying on expensive check-cashing outlets, payday loans and money orders to manage their finances and payments.

Financial management workshops help clients prepare a budget, understand credit, build cash reserves for emergencies, plan for college and retirement and develop financial goals for the future. This valuable program enables even the most at-risk individuals to make progress towards financial stability and self-sufficiency.

“My children are doing better in school because of the tutoring and other help they are getting at the FSC. The El Nido staff have helped me believe in myself and given me hope for my family’s future.” - FSC mother

GANG REDUCTION, YOUTH ADVOCACY,DELINQUENCY PREVENTION

& INTERVENTION

El Nido offers a variety of programs to enable adolescents in challenging circumstances to cross the bridge to responsible adulthood. Our programs have taught youth skills to advance their educational and career goals and to postpone parenthood until they can truly provide for their families.

Delinquency Prevention/ Intervention Program

El Nido works closely with L.A. County Department of Probation to individualize intervention for youthful offenders at risk for incarceration. In addition, counselors work with young people (8 - 17) referred by schools for behavior problems on campus that could lead to criminal behavior in the community. Services range from individual and family counseling to tutoring and career planning. Reasons for referrals include burglary, assault, substance abuse, gang activity, absence of parents in the home, delinquency, and earlier neglect and abuse. The Los Angeles Police Department has recognized El Nido for its effectiveness in working with at-risk youth.

Outcomes• 81% of youth who completed at least

five counseling sessions demonstrated improvement in one of the following three indicators: school achievement, classroom/ community/home behavior, and school/ social activity involvement

Youth DevelopmentGang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD)

The goal of the Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) Program is to prevent youth (ages 10 - 15 years) who are at high risk of gang involvement from joining gangs. Youth/families are referred by LAPD and Probation officers, local middle and high schools, the Department of Children and Family Services, and community-based organizations. A research-based screening tool is administered to select clients to be served. Comprehensive assessment, individual and family counseling, psychosocial education, and case management identify and reduce underlying risk factors while building on inherent strengths. El Nido’s program serves the Pacoima/Foothill region of the northeast San Fernando Valley. Funded by the Office of the Mayor, City of Los Angeles. 330 clients participated in El Nido’s GRYD program.

Outcomes• 98% of all clients were prevented from joining a gang; all were attending school; the overall

population showed reduced scores on 8 of 9 identified risk factors

• 70% of youth showed significantly reduced risk/increased resiliency

• El Nido’s GRYD was recognized by the City for its productivity (the largest number of youth served among all prevention projects) and effectiveness

Compton Youth Development ProgramThe Compton Youth Development Program (CYDP) is for males and females between the ages of 8 -19 at risk of delinquency, gang involvement, school failure, dropout, and teen parenting. Counselors emphasize personal goals, career achievement, and reducing behavioral obstacles. Case managers link clients with assistance programs for tutoring, job training, mental, and health services. The program provides teens with opportunities for civic involvement and community projects, partnering with foundations, corporations, other non-profits and volunteers to offer a range of appealing, educational, and skills-building programs such as; Maverick Angels Entrepreneurship Program, Compton Creek Task Force, Rails to Trail, Hub City Neighborhood Action Council and Tower of Faith Community Food distribution program. The Compton Youth Development Program is generously funded by the City of Compton and the Wells Fargo Foundation. 231 clients were served by the Compton Youth Development Program.

El Nido Family Centers Alumni Association &

GRYD Leadership Council

Successful former clients came back to give back, forming two dynamic groups to mentor current clients; the El Nido Family Centers’ Alumni Association and the GRYD Leadership Council. The purpose of the Alumni Association is to provide ongoing advocacy, support and role-modeling that focuses on promoting higher education, careers and positive parenting. The GRYD Leadership Council assists clients through group mentoring, civic engagements, and advocacy.

About Our Work, Data & Facts

• The Maverick Angels program focuses on entrepreneurship and business skills through workshops and field trips. Students develop business plans, meet with investors and take field trips to successful businesses to learn business skills first hand

• El Nido serves one of 12 identified zones where rates of violent gang-related crimes are 400% higher than elsewhere in Los Angeles

Rodrigo was thirteen when his mother sought help for him from El Nido Family Centers. She felt he was being brought down by negative influences in their neighborhood; an area of Pacoima known as ‘The Devil’s Triangle’. His mother had been stabbed there as a teenager and had become a teen mom. She wanted better for her son. Rodrigo was rebellious, doing poorly in classes and had recently broken a teacher’s window at his middle school.

An assessment by El Nido’s GRYD case manager determined that Rodrigo was at-risk because he was anti-social, impulsive, did not take responsibility for his actions and was influenced by gangs. His closest cousin was involved in tagging, smoking and cycling in and out of incarceration. When asked what he liked about his life, Rodrigo replied, “Nothing.”

Rodrigo was referred to multiple program activities including; academic tutoring, the Young Warriors group, photography, a community garden project,

theatre, an art class, our signature Heart of Champions class, and few special events such as hiking trips, beach trips, and other fun and educational summer trips that exposed him to other areas outside his home town. His favorite experience was a trip to the Universal Technical Institute automotive school. Exposure to careers in the automotive industry helped him recognize that he too could become an auto technician after he graduates from high school. More recently, he contributed to the creation of a mural that will be a part of the community for many years to come. Rodrigo had perfect attendance at GRYD and graduated from the Life Skills Job Prep Program with special recognition.

Rodrigo will now be graduating from our GRYD program and is doing very well. He is very aware and focused on doing well in school, and will be starting 10th grade. His relationship with his mother has improved and he is focused on his goal to graduate high school.
