DEAR FRIENDS

hanks to your generous support and strong community partnerships, 2012 was an exciting year for Children & Families First. We hope you will share our pride in this year’s accomplishments. At Children & Families First, we believe that all children should grow up in a nurturing home where they are valued and safe. In 2012, we significantly expanded our services to prevent child abuse and neglect. Our home visiting services for pregnant and parenting women grew: additional nurses in the Nurse-Family Partnership program for first time moms and implementation of the Healthy Families America model. Through a strong partnership with the Division of Public Health and others, we continue to build a comprehensive continuum of home visiting services for women and young children to help families get it right from the start. We were also selected by the Division of Family Services to offer a new program (FAIR) to decrease the number of teens who are placed in foster care. This program is part of the State’s new Differential Response System, working

to get the right service to families to prevent child abuse and neglect. We are proud that Children & Families First received a new federal research grant from the Children’s Bureau to implement the Strengthening Families Program for families with children between birth and three years of age. Some families will then have home visiting services from Parents As Teachers. This will help inform our field about effective practices to prevent child maltreatment. We also believe that children grow up best when they are in strong, caring communities. To that end, we expanded the community schools model to two schools in Red Clay and two in Seaford while building our service continuum on Wilmington’s Eastside. We are partnering with the United Way and AstraZeneca through the Young Health Program: IM40™, serving as the community mobilizing agency on the Eastside. We are building a movement that engages parents, teachers, coaches, mentors, and other caring adults to work towards the shared goal of increasing the assets of youth in their communities.

We are grateful for the recognition we received during 2012. 1) We were named a Top Workplace in Delaware by the News Journal for the second year in a row; 2) We were named a Psychologically Healthy Workplace by the Delaware Psychological Association; and 3) We received a Partnership of the Year Award from the Wilmington Renaissance Corporation. These awards spotlight our focus on excellence in everything we do. All told, we touched the lives of more than 40,000 people last year. To make sure that we are meeting their needs, we instituted Customer Survey Feedback Cards throughout our programs. These cards are given to our clients at every visit or interaction so that we can obtain real-time data about the quality of our service-delivery and address issues as they occur. We are thankful for your generous support. Children & Families First….It’s not just our

name, it’s our promise. Best regards,

CORE SERVICES In 2012, CFF touched the lives of 40,727 individuals. The overwhelming majority (97%) of our stakeholders–clients, staff, donors and partners– would recommend CFF to others.

Healthy Babies Healthy babies become healthy children. We connect pregnant women with health care and social services to make sure that their babies are born healthy and stay healthy. The Nurse Family-Partnership (NFP) is an evidence-based program using nurse home visitors to provide comprehensive services to low-income, first time pregnant women. The nurse follows the family through the child’s second birthday. Staff prepare women for delivery and parenthood and offer ongoing support and mentoring. Once the baby is born, the staff ensures that the family is connected to well-baby care. NFP has a range of positive outcomes, including decreased child abuse and neglect. In addition to NFP, Smart Start/Healthy Families America (HFA) helps expectant and new parents get their children off to a healthy start. HFA uses nurses and social workers as home visitors to provide parents an opportunity to get the education and support they need at the time their baby is born, until their child turns three. Smart Start/HFA serves first time moms who are more than 28-weeks pregnant as well as 2nd time moms, or moms who have a newborn younger than three months.

Early Childhood The early years of a child's life form the foundation of his or her future. Delaware Stars is the state’s quality-rating system for child care, working to improve early care and education. The Child and Adult Care Food Program assures that children in licensed child care receive nutritionally balanced meals.

Positive Parenting Being a parent is one of the world’s most important jobs, but also one of the

toughest. We offer assistance to parents and children to build skills and improve family communication. The Strengthening Families Program, a research-based family skills training series, and Delaware Cares workshops for Divorcing Parents, state-certified classes for divorcing parents, are designed to address the needs of vulnerable families and teach them positive, effective ways to interact. We provide Foster Care and Adoption services to help ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable children. Children and youth of all ages who have experienced abuse, trauma or neglect are placed with loving, trained families who can provide the security they need.

Supporting Teens The teen years can be difficult – young adults must navigate the uncharted waters of relationships, sexuality and more. For some teens, the challenges can be even more complex – mental health issues, truancy or even juvenile justice involvement. Youth ages 12 to 20 may participate in ARC (Adolescent Resource Center), either through educational sessions that meet during the school day or at our afterschool medical clinics. The goal is to help teens decrease risk-taking and promote healthy choices. CFF also offers a program for girls ages 9 to 18 called Girls Circle, an evidence-based structured support group which works to increase positive connection, personal and collective strengths, and competence in girls. For youth ages 12 to 15, we offer Young Health Program: IM40™, an initiative of AstraZeneca and the United Way designed to build assets in youth and help them be successful. Family Search & Engagement works with youth ages 10 to 17 who are at-risk of aging out of foster care. The program helps these youth connect to family

members or other caring adults, for permanent placement or ongoing support. Our Functional Family Therapy program is an evidence-based family counseling intervention for youth between the ages of 10 and 18 and their families who are struggling with behavioral problems and family conflict. We also serve youth ages 10-18 with a primary mental health diagnosis through our Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Services. IOP offers a combination of individual and family therapy in conjunction with case management and psychiatric care for youth and their families in Kent and Sussex Counties. Youth with mental health or behavioral issues benefit from our Seaford House Residential & Day Treatment Program.

Family Resources Strong families are the foundation of strong communities. Children & Families First is the lead partner in the Community Schools project, a public-private partnership targeting schools with high rates of poverty and poor academic performance in the Christina, Red Clay and Seaford school districts. Community Schools work to ensure that children arrive at school healthy and ready to learn; families and community members are fully engaged as respected partners in the success of the children; and that the basic needs of children, their families, and neighbors are met. We also offer several referral services to connect individuals and families to resources within the community. Our AccessCare Child Care Referral Service, a free service

accessed online or by telephone, helps users identify child care centers, family and child care homes, preschools, school-age programs and camps. The RespiteOnline Referral Service allows caregivers to search for Delaware providers who offer respite care options for both child and adult respite care, and our Kinship Navigator is a free referral service for families who are caring for other relative’s children.

Workplace Supports Work plays a significant role in many of our lives. Children & Families First helps people find meaningful employment in Kent and Sussex Counties through our Rise Up/Keep-A-Job program. We also work with employers around the nation to provide back-up dependent care coverage through the Just in Time Care® program, so that last-minute dependent care emergencies don’t need to cause confusion and missed work days.

Older Adults Americans are living longer, more productive lives. Nearly one in eight Americans is age 65 or older. Grand Time Off provides respite for grandparents or relatives who are raising other family members’ children. Caregivers are helped to find and pay for short-term, occasional child care needs. Our Elder Care Referral Service helps individuals identify service providers to meet older relatives’ needs and educational materials to help make informed choices.

OURMISSION Children & Families First helps families develop solutions to meet challenges and embrace opportunities.

OURVISION Communities where children are nurtured and safe, individuals are valued, and families are strong.
