Explaining The JUCONI Program And CAT
Working with families
The JUCONI Programme and the CAT (Technical Support Centre) are the two main pillars of JUCONI, through which we seek to fulfil our mission of developing, applying and sharing effective solutions for excluded children, young people and families affected by violence in the home.
Over the last 20 years, different organizations have identified two fundamental factors in helping this group of children and families, concluding that to be able to escape from these vicious circles the following is required:
These two pillars are complementary to each other. In the Programme we work directly with children and families to break the cycle of violence and heal the consequences, while in the CAT we research the most recent theoretical
JUCONI Programme
Street-living children and their families
advances in the area, ensuring that the therapeutic interventions of the JUCONI Programme are as effective as possible, and then sharing them with other organizations. Through 22 years of work, we have proven that the social reintegration of children who have lived in violent conditions and exclusion is not only possible but can also be permanent, by coordinating the efforts of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, teachers, neighbours and employers.
CAT (Technical Support Centre)
Development of methodologies
• Sustained therapeutic support: To heal from the experience of violence, and to experience and learn other types of behaviour and relationship. • Family-based work: Support services are taken into the home and work is carried out with the children and parents, breaking cycles of violence for everyone, creating an environment that favours the maintenance of changes achieved with the children involved. Characteristics of these vicious circles:
Street-working children and their families
Children and families of market workers
4
Sharing: training, professional development and consultation
Advocating more appropriate practices and policies
a) Intergenerational violence: Living through experiences of physical, emotional or sexual violence generates in people behaviours that make it difficult to establish positive relationships and lead to negative life outcomes (poverty, addictions, etc.), and behaviours that increase the probability of violence in their future families. b) Exclusion: The behaviours of these individuals make it difficult for them to participate in community activities such as school and work, and also in support programmes.
1
Creation of a positive “attachment experience” or relationship
2
Support in the “processing” of difficult experiences
3
“Application of learning” in their lives (example: establishing contacts with medical and school services, and beginning to participate in a more sustainable way in their communities)
Elements necessary for transformation Play therapy
Emotional development
Tools for work life
Individual Therapy
Social integration
Family therapy
School support
Sharing quality moments in the family
c) Negative life outcomes: The same behaviours that resulted from the violent environment in which they grew up and that make social interaction difficult for them, become obstacles
to their social participation, leading to low levels of education, badly paid jobs, precarious nutrition and health, and – most important – inability to maintain harmonious relationships.

A Success Story The Castillo Family
“In JUCONI I have learned that things are not resolved with blows, that problems can be solved by talking. We have also spent more time together without fighting.”
We met the Castillo Meneses family in September 2007 because of their problems with Genaro, who, at the age of 12, was spending most of his time in the street with his older brother and a gang, with which he consumed alcohol and drugs, going back to school only when his mother imposed her authority through physical and verbal violence. Genaro entered Casa JUCONI and, in addition, the family started to receive weekly visits from our therapeutic team. Slowly, we began to see changes: Genaro started to learn the importance of participating in housework, complying with school responsibilities, handling his emotions and establishing trusting relationships. Today, with great satisfaction, we can testify that, thanks to their efforts and persistence, the members of this family have reached important achievements: there is now a positive relationship among them, with firm and clear limits, a cooperative atmosphere in relation to housework, with routines that provide structure and security for all, and general organization that allows greater privacy and order.

“I thought I was going to make my son see sense with blows, shouting and scolding, but now I understand there are other ways. It really is possible to live without violence!”

Testimonials “JUCONI helped me get a scholarship which enabled me to finish primary school and go on to secondary school. I am very proud because, with the help of the educators and my family, I’ve managed to overcome the challenges I’ve faced at school.” -Rodrigo Flores -
Methodological development ADESPI (Ambientes de Desarrollo Emocional y Social para la Primera Infancia – Environments for Emotional and Social Development for Early Childhood)
to one another other in terms of communication, management of authority, resources and role fulfilment, as well as the impact of these factors on the way the family functions.
We know that early childhood experiences are fundamental in laying the foundations for learning and behaviour throughout life. Through free play and reflection sessions, the ADESPI programme aims to help mothers and fathers of children from 0 to 6 years of age to learn how to identify their needs and initiatives, and to receive and respond to them in an efficient and warm manner.
Using this scale, therapists can obtain qualitative information to develop plans for intervention that will promote the integral growth of each of the family members and the strengthening of the home as a protective environment.
Family Functioning Scale This is a very useful tool to understand how the members of a family relate
VIG (Video Interaction Guidance) Families with problems want to change, and it is that desire that must push them to overcome their failings. VIG uses video of family interaction to help them find the motivation to advance as family members learn to celebrate the small, significant steps they take.
“But for JUCONI, I’d never have believed I could improve my situation. I found the courage to leave my partner, who caused me so much harm, and made the effort to find a better job.”
-Claudia Flores-
“One thing we’ve learned is that we must begin to focus more on the good things we do, not just on the negative things, and we must remember the happy moments, not just the difficult ones.” -Sra. Dulce Torres-

Main Events
and Adolescents, Puebla) and the Iberoamerican University, Puebla.
Among the events we organized in 2011 to promote the generation of better public policies and programmes to care for children and families were:
Sharing And Learning Together
• Regional Meeting on Families “Preventing and Attending to Violence”
Our commitment to non-violence has lead us to extend the impact of JUCONI metrology beyond the borders of Mexico. Among the goals achieved in 2011, we can include the work visits to Argentina, Guatemala and East African Countries, where we provided consultancy and technical support to different organizations for the strategic planning and the start-up of pilot programs to provide attention to children and families
• Forum “Childhood and Violence in the Home: Considerations for public policies”. Organized jointly with the academic group “Discrimination, Violence and Culture of Peace” (Discriminación, Violencia y Cultura de Paz) of the Autonomous University of Puebla. • Presentation of the book “Children Count in Mexico, 2010” (La Infancia Cuenta en México) published by REDIM (Network for Children’s Rights in Mexico) Organized jointly with REDIM, RIA (Network for Children
2011 Campaign Receiving regular contributions from many people makes our operation more sustainable than depending upon just a few donations from organizations and trusts. Thanks to the enormous effort of 15 team leaders and 195 promoters, and the support of the media, in the 2011 Fundraising Campaign we funded 1,400 more scholarships to guarantee the future of JUCONI. With this superb result, together with the funds received from national
trusts and companies, we managed to raise the resources generated in Mexico to 70% of the annual budget. This gives us more stability and allows us to attract more resources from foreign people and organizations that like to invest in projects with a solid local support base. Thanks to you and all our donors, we can continue to provide high quality services to children and families, and training for other organizations in order to benefit even more people.
Union is Strength 2011 was a year of alliances of Organizations dedicated to providing attention to children and young people affected by violence in different parts
of the world, including Mexico, formed the coalition “Safe Families, Safe Children”, with the purpose of sharing therapeutic and educational practices. A product of this alliance was the publication of the pamphlet “Breaking the Cycle of Violence”, which presents the bases of a therapeutic method developed in the Tavistock Clinic aimed at strengthening emotional tools in children and parents. It was presented in high-profile events in cities such as London and São Paulo. Diploma Course The diploma course given by JUCONI is a professional development
