2015 ANNUAL REPORT The Philadelphia Children’s Alliance
1
LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR We, at the Philadelphia Children’s Alliance (PCA), truly wish there was no place for our organization in the city of Philadelphia, in the country, or even the world. Ideally, children everywhere would have guaranteed safety in their homes, schools, and communities. Children and teens would use their energy and time focusing on everything kids should focus on, such as schoolwork and friendships, as well as building skills and knowledge to help them thrive. However, as we know all too well, that isn’t always the case. Some adults manipulate and take advantage of kids, inflicting some of the most egregious harm possible, both emotionally and physically. PCA was founded to ensure that all children receive the justice and healing they deserve, when the unthinkable happens. For the past 25 years, we have gradually increased our impact and now, thanks to our co-location with partner agencies, we are in a remarkable position to respond to all reports of alleged child sexual abuse in Philadelphia with a sensitive and coordinated response that quickly connects children and their families to all needed services. We are proud to share our accomplishments from FY 2014-2015 in this Annual Report. From a record number of children served, to the comprehensive Strategic Plan we created to guide us in the coming three years, it was a busy and productive year. Along with our partners in co-location, the Special Victims Unit of the Police, and the Department of Human Services child welfare agency sexual abuse specialists, we responded to more than 3,000 allegations of child sexual abuse during fiscal year 2015. We interviewed 2,090 children about abuse, provided victim support services to 2,986 caregivers, and we referred 889 children for medical exams. One hundred and seventy two children received long-term therapy at our on-site program, and 1,000 children were referred for therapy services off-site. You can read the story of one child who received and benefited from all of PCA’s services in this report. Our strategic planning process lasted most of the year as we gathered input from constituents, looked at trends in the field locally and nationally, and convened a committee of board members and staff to identify priorities for PCA from 2016-2018. We created a plan with four strategic directions and eleven goals, which are listed in this report. We will be focusing on high quality service delivery, strengthening team partnerships, governance best-practice, and planning for the future. We look forward to keeping you posted on our progress. Finally, we cannot thank all of you enough for partnering with us to ensure we have the resources to support our amazing growth and success. We are grateful for your generosity and compassion. We look forward to expanding our positive impact in the coming year with you by our side!

LETTER FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Dear friends, PCA is coming off another year of significant achievement and growth. Foremost, we completed a successful three-year Strategic Planning process highlighted by the continued success of co-location where, along with our partners, we continue to surpass expectations; indeed, much of this Annual Report is dedicated to this achievement and the successes it brought forth. As you read through this report, please understand that this progress is not by accident or random; it is the result of much planning and hard work done by PCA staff in coordination with our partner agencies. But it is also in no small part the result of the contributions of you, our supporters. More on this later! While it is always rewarding to reflect on past successes, we know we must keep an eye towards the future; 2014-2015 was no exception, and saw a significant focus by the Board and Executive Staff on our next three-year Strategic Plan. The primary focus of the current Plan over the next three years is to provide the framework for PCA leadership as we move closer to realizing our vision: justice and healing for all of Philadelphia’s young victims of sexual abuse. Towards that end, this new Plan is designed to ensure that as our services expand and caseload increases, we maintain the very highest levels of quality that you expect of us and that the children and caregivers who come through our door deserve. It is clear to all of us on the Board and staff of PCA that our work on behalf of children cannot succeed without our public and private supporters. Consider that in FY2012, with an annual budget of $1.3 million, PCA processed 1556 referrals for services. Last year, our budget grew to $2.3 million and our referrals rose to 3364, an increase of 116%. While certainly impressive on its own merit, the increased caseload tells only part of the story. Along with the dramatic increase in the number of children we served, we significantly expanded both the depth and breadth of services. For example, unlike FY2012, we now have a thriving on-site Mental Health program, providing timely therapy for the most in-need children so that their lives are not defined by their victimization. And our medical suite, for so long a distant dream, is now a reality; children can now be seen by medical staff on-site, thereby again maximizing care and minimizing stress and anxiety related to victimization. What this illustrates is that our successes are directly tied to your support. Like many of you, I often think about organizations I support and causes I believe in, and wonder if my contribution matters. When it comes to supporting PCA, you can be assured that you are making a huge and meaningful difference in the life of a child in need! I therefore, on behalf of the Board, express our deepest gratitude for your contribution to PCA. As we celebrate our successes over the past year, we are – because of you – ever more hopeful as we forge ahead on behalf of Philadelphia’s children.

ABOUT PHILADELPHIA CHILDREN’S ALLIANCE
The Philadelphia Children’s Alliance (PCA) has come a long way since its inception in 1989. PCA promotes healing and justice for all sexually abused children in Philadelphia and, in collaboration with our partners in child protection, law enforcement, and medical and mental health services, provides forensic interviews, victim support, and counseling services at our co-located, child-friendly facility. When an allegation of child sexual abuse is made, the case is immediately referred to PCA to ensure the child only has to tell their story once. The Philadelphia Children’s Alliance has helped a record number of children begin their path to justice and healing over the past year. Providing more than 2,000 forensic interviews, on-site therapy to 172 children, and victim services to nearly 3,000 caregivers of child victims, PCA has grown in leaps and bounds in one year alone. In November 2015, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children partnered to open and staff a medical suite on-site at PCA where children can receive a medical exam without experiencing additional trauma by going to the emergency room. Fiscal Year 2015 was a big one for PCA – we now have all services on-site for the children and families who need our help through tragic and extremely difficult circumstances that are very complex to navigate. PCA is able to provide comfort, services, and support to victims of child sexual abuse the moment they walk through our doors.

SUCCESS STORY
Philadelphia Children’s Alliance was able to make a difference in the lives of thousands of children this past year. Here is how PCA helped Marie and her family. Last summer, the Robinson family was preparing for their annual family reunion. They noticed their nine-year-old daughter, Marie, became increasingly anxious as the weekend grew nearer. She began acting out and throwing tantrums. They couldn’t conceive what was wrong. Marie always seemed to enjoy their family reunions, where she got the chance to escape the city and play with all of her cousins outdoors. It wasn’t until the day they had packed up their car and were about to pull out of the driveway that Marie began to panic and cry uncontrollably. As her parents tried to console her, Marie divulged why she didn’t want to attend the family reunion this year: her 25-year-old cousin had been sexually abusing her over the past few years and she would have to spend days in close proximity with him. It overwhelmed her with terror. Her parents were devastated and they didn’t know how they had missed the warning signs. Her cousin lived in the city and visited them periodically. They began to replay every occasion he might have been around Marie. They thought their world and their lives were shattered. Until they visited PCA.
“At PCA we met an angel on earth: Amanda. She was our light and our rock. When we believed that all was lost Amanda convinced us different. With Amanda, there was never uncertainty. We were informed in great detail what the process was going to involve. Our daughter immediately clicked with her. After a few sessions our daughter’s happy personality began to return. Eventually, after a few months, our daughter was back. Our children’s happiness and well being is the most important thing to my wife and I. We owe my daughter’s recovery to Amanda and PCA.” —Louis, Marie’s father

Marie’s father, Louis, immediately called the Special Victim’s Unit (SVU) of the Police Department to report the crime. The detective at the SVU explained to Louis that the case would be referred to PCA so Marie would receive a coordinated response and interview. The very next morning, PCA’s Intake Coordinator, Kelsey, called Marie’s parents and explained the entire process. She explained that Marie would be interviewed in a child-friendly space in a neutral, non-leading manner and that PCA’s goal is to make Marie feel as comfortable as possible so she would be able to talk about what had happened. She also explained that the family would be connected to a Victim Advocate (VA) who would help the family through the entire PCA process, as well as after the interview, with referrals for medical check ups, mental health treatment, court accompaniment, and any other issues they might have. She reassured the family about the process and informed them that, once they arrived, PCA’s Child Care Team would look after Marie while they met with their Victim Advocate, Caroline, prior to Marie’s interview. Marie did not want to discuss what had happened to her but, in meeting with PCA’s highly trained Forensic Interviewer, Colleen, she began to feel more comfortable.
In her interview, Marie disclosed that the abuse had occurred several times over the course of three years. Her cousin told her that no one would believe her and everyone would think she was a liar. However, once she told her parents and disclosed the abuse in her interview, Marie began to feel some relief. But even after telling her family and PCA’s Forensic Interviewer what had happened, Marie continued to have anxiety and nightmares. It was interfering with her schoolwork and made it difficult for her to pay attention at school.
“PCA is such an amazing organization. Before this experience neither my wife nor I had ever heard of it. That has all changed. You are great people doing fantastic work.”
Caroline recommended Marie for PCA’s on-site mental health therapy services, where she would receive trauma-focused therapy and she could gain skills to help her cope with her anxiety and the traumatic events she experienced. Marie was able to be seen by one of PCA’s therapists, Amanda, within the week and, after three months of continuous therapy, her nightmares and anxiety began to wane. She was able to concentrate in class, her grades began to improve, and she wanted to participate in after-school activities again. She began to feel like her old self. Months after Marie completed therapy, she was able to come in for a few booster sessions when her anxiety had been triggered by passing a location where the abuse had taken place. The booster sessions helped to reinforce the skills she acquired and remind her that she has the coping mechanisms to face any challenge that comes her way.
