We work as a team to achieve our goals. At JUCONI we are very clear about the importance of having a systemic approach to our work in order to successfully achieve our mission. That is why our work is divided into different areas, each with its own objectives which in turn complement those of the other areas to provide the best attention possible to the children and families that participate in our programs. They also extend the reach of our methods and tools through other organizations so as to benefit yet more people and contribute to the development of public policy for the defense of children’s rights.

The complexity of our fieldwork requires us to continually search for approaches and solutions that enable a better understanding of the difficulties faced by the population we serve. This need for innovation has become the engine behind the creation of methodologies and materials which, after being tested in the JUCONI Program, are shared with other organizations through the CAT (for its Spanish acronym), our Technical Support Centre.
6 Who we are
As a mother, I support the things my children like. I have learned to understand them and to value the role they play in our family.�
The validation of these products ensures the quality of the training and consulting services we provide, while at the same time making it possible for a greater number of children and families to be reintegrated into society.
Sra. Ana Mendoza
The credibility forged by JUCONI over the years is the result of this process of continuous work and transparency in the management of its resources. It is what enables us to continue counting on the support of our donors and the creation of alliances with high-level international organizations to double our efforts in building a world without violence.

JUCONI Methodological principles: Having a comprehensive treatment plan is the foundation to achieving permanent changes in the lives of children, youths and families affected by domestic violence.
10
JUCONI’s methodology is the result of years of learning, practice, evaluation and reflection obtained through the training and consultation we have received from various institutions with international prestige and from specialists in the handling of trauma, interpersonal relationships and therapeutic attention to victims of abuse. It is based on three main principles:
JUCONI Methodology
Eco-systemic Approach A family is a living nucleus and a complex system. No matter who the family members are everyone who participates in the family dynamics plays an important role in determining the relationships and the level of functionality of each member. In order to create a healthy family environment that supports the development of the child, it is necessary to take into account the different points of view of each family member and consider the impact external participants (teachers, friends, neighbors) may have on the family system and its members.
JUCONI Methodology
The Key to Change
Psychodynamic Approach People affected by violence have trouble verbalizing their feelings which is why they tend to resort to defensive and aggressive behaviors. In order to create a strategy of comprehensive therapeutic care it is imperative to understand that each behavior is a way of communicating pain, anger, sadness or another unmanaged feeling, which has not been properly addressed.
Strengths-based Approach We work with children and their families by helping them to recognize what they do well already so that they can repeat it. This reinforces the individual’s selfesteem and provides them with the foundations they require to make changes when necessary.
11
A guiding hand every step of the way
The care provided to each child and family that participates in the JUCONI Program is focused on the development of these areas:

Success Story You have given me a very big gift: a different perspective on life than the one I had while growing up and there is no way to repay that.”
Espinosa Castro Family Mr. Ricardo Calderón 14 Beneficiary testimonials
Before, I wouldn’t speak, but the educators taught me that it was important, and now I can express my feelings and I feel that I can get along better with my parents.
This is the story of Manuel and his family, who having lived many hardships, have managed to take great steps in the path towards a better future. Manuel was only 11 years old when he began going out on the streets. He lived in a small town in Tlaxcala, along with three elder sisters and four younger brothers. His father had died years before as a result of alcoholism. His mother had also died and shortly afterwards members of the extended family arrived at his home with police and lawyers to evict the family from their home, leaving them literally in the streets. With the support of Arturo, an already married brother, Elsa, the eldest 17 year-old sister found them a room and with the help of 15 year-old Ana, she did what she could to provide for her family. Together they tried to bring up Manuel and his little brothers just like they had been brought up, often resorting to physical and verbal violence. The situation in which they lived was chaotic and Manuel was a great challenge given that his behavior became more and more aggressive and unstable as time went on. There were many nights when he did not return home. When Ana heard in town that Manuel had been caught stealing in people’s houses she decided to seek help. It was then that the state program (SEDIF) provided them with JUCONI’s telephone number. Manuel was very angry with this family so a decision was made with Elsa and Ana to invite him to live at Casa JUCONI to allow us to help him untangle his feelings while working with his family with the aim of bringing them together again later on.
Leticia Rico
One of the key moments in his recovery process took place during a family session when he heard Arturo, Elsa and Ana speak about what the death of their parents had meant to them. They spoke about their immense pain and the sacrifices they had to make to take care of and keep their siblings together: Arturo lived in a single bedroom with his wife and children given that a significant part of his money went to supporting his siblings. Elsa had not married because she could not leave them and Ana had dropped out of school to work in a factory. Listening to them, Manuel realized he was not alone in his pain, that they had all suffered and that his siblings were making a great effort to help him. With the help of JUCONI’s team of educators, the family developed rituals to help them name and manage their grief and they embarked on a process to recognize each other’s strengths and learn to relate better to one another. One of the activities they carried out was the creation of a
family shield in which they each drew a value and something they wished for their family. Elsa and Ana allocated a space in the shield for each of their siblings and invited them to fill it in. The activity showed the educators that the members of the family had developed the ability to take each other into account, which in turn developed their sense of identity, inclusion and belonging. During this time, Elsa and her boyfriend acquired a property near her family and built a room to live in. At Casa JUCONI, Manuel started a course in bricklaying, and in 2012 Elsa and her boyfriend invited him to build a room for himself on their property so that they could live near each other. Everyone contributed to the purchase of building materials. Manuel spent weekends working along with Arturo and his brother-in-law on the construction. It has been one year since Manuel went to live in the room he built. He works in a glassware shop, 8 hours a day, and with the money he earns he contributes to the family’s expenses. Not only does he maintain a good relationship with Elsa and the family, but also with the rest of his siblings, who live nearby. The family can now speak about difficult situations and the feelings and emotions they generate. Clear limits have been established and are respected. Manuel knows that he plays an important role in the family and that he must set a good example for his younger siblings by following the routines that have been established for their common good.
Our way of getting along has changed greatly… Now we speak instead of shouting and we congratulate each other instead of criticizing. We each set out goals for ourselves and we support each other to achieve them.” -Mrs. Esperanza Espinosa-
Success Story
At Casa JUCONI, Manuel showed himself to be obsessed with the idea of reclaiming the family’s house which had been taken from them. He drew up elaborate plans – often violent – to recover the house and he had a fierce sense of having been wronged and held a grudge towards his elder sisters for not having fought for the house. Slowly, after participating in an individual therapeutic process, he understood that behind his desire to recover his house lay the illusion of recovering all he had lost, especially his mother.

Extending our impact
Through our diploma and training program for schools, we have contributed to the improvement of the services offered to children, youths and families.
JUCONI Diploma Program “Foundations and Tools for Educative-Therapeutic Attention for People Affected by Domestic Violence” For over two decades, JUCONI has been fortunate enough to count on the consultancy and training of international experts in various therapeutic methodologies, which added to the experience acquired through field work, has enabled JUCONI to establish principles and develop practices that can be of use for other non-profit organizations and government programs serving children, youths and families affected by
18
domestic violence. Each year, we teach various Diploma Programs in different places throughout Mexico, among them: Puebla, Mexico City, Jalisco and Tuxtla Gutiérrez. In the sessions, we explore the nature of violence and abuse, its causes and neuropsycho-social consequences, as well as tools and techniques that participants can adapt to their context and needs.
What are some of the learning experiences educators, therapists and members of organizations have taken with themselves?
Sharing with the rest of the sector
• The importance of generating empathy with the population served: an in-depth understanding of the effects violence has had on their lives can result in a warmer and more favorable interaction. • More effective interventions can be achieved by implementing strategies of positive discipline that promote empowerment and self-acceptance. • Providing children and their families with spaces in which they can feel safe is vital to bring about their participation and to achieve good results. • Validating children and families’ feelings and recognizing their strengths promotes healthier self-esteem and helps them to keep going. This applies to both the population served as well as the workforce.
Before I used to judge children and adults for certain behaviors which I thought were conscious. Now I no longer judge, I stop and take time to enquire about and understand their life story to see in what way and in which areas I can intervene.” -Diana Martínez, Educator“In my work, interactions are warmer and I have a better understanding of the difficulties” -Osvaldo Juárez, Therapist-
With the purpose of promoting the creation of positive environments free from violence that further learning, JUCONI has developed a training program for pre-school and primary school teachers of public schools in the most marginalized areas of Puebla.
One of the fundamental principles in our program is that of Positive Discipline, a method with which we can teach students the boundaries and consequences of their actions through a firm yet friendly interaction that takes into consideration their opinions, suggestions and participa-
What benefits have teachers and parents perceived during and after this program? • A closer and more personal relationship between parents and teachers with much more trust and communication among them. • Improved communication between teachers and their students by: validating feelings and emphasizing the importance of speaking about these, and by taking such feelings into account during class time while implementing positive discipline. • A greater participation by parents in school activities.
• Greater empathy from teachers towards the children’s parents by understanding the situation in which they live and the impact this has on the children’s behavior. • A better understanding of the needs and development path of the children on the part of the teachers. • The development of tools to manage conflict and difficult cases in the classroom. • Positive environments in the classroom that result in better learning conditions.
tion in order to help them develop a sense of self-control and responsibility. Positive Discipline and conflict resolution techniques not only make it possible to improve the class environment, they have also improved relationships at home when shared with parents.
JUCONI has helped us realize that when there are discipline issues in the classroom, it is the act which must be frowned upon, not the individual.” -Paty Fernández, Teacher“I take with me a great sense of relief and satisfaction. This has allowed me to become a better person. I do not get as angry as before when I used to explode and my son was the one who was mistreated. Now I try to be different.” -Mrs. Reina Vázquez, Mother-

Together for a

Second Conference on Childhood, Family and Public Policy This conference was organized in collaboration with the academic staff of the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Autonomous University of Puebla. Over 50 people participated, including representatives from the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), the Ministry of Public Security (SSP), the State Population Council, the Municipal Institute for Youth and the State and the Municipal Family Development Systems. In this conference, the Red por los Derechos de la Infancia en México or REDIM (Network for the Rights of Children in Mexico) presented the book “Childhood counts”, a significant compilation of data and analysis regarding the state of children in Mexico, which is the foundation for the development of policies for the protection of children.

International Consulting Our commitment to non-violence has led us to extend our consulting and training programs beyond Mexico. Today, we provide support to organizations in Kenya and Tanzania where, although social and cultural conditions may be different, the challenges are ultimately the same.

Through such events, we promote the defense of children’s rights and we share the principles of our methodology with other organizations.
Information is the engine that encourages change. Convinced that this is so, we organized the Second International JUCONI Conference, conceived as a space to further the understanding of the root causes and the consequences of domestic violence, and to explore practices and solutions that prevent and cure the damage it causes. The event brought together more than 50 international experts in a wide range of areas such as neuroscience, therapy, trauma, attachment and organizational change. There were around 400 participants from 11 different countries and representatives of organizations that work to benefit excluded children and families. During the three days of the Conference, there were keynote speeches and workshops that allowed participants to get to know different tools and techniques to build positive and lasting relationships as an essential way to prevent domestic violence. Thanks to the enthusiasm and interest of the speakers, participants, staff, volunteers and sponsors the conference was an enriching learning experience for all‌ And we promise to repeat this in 2014!
The key themes of the conference are: the neuroscience of violence and trauma, prevention of violence and trauma; working at an individual level, group level and with families, as well as community approaches.
