Since 1985, PEI Kids’ mission has been dedicated to promoting and maintaining a safe environment for all children. We work with the child, family, educators and caregivers to provide prevention, intervention and advocacy programs relating to personal safety, sexual abuse, bullying, gang prevention, and the overall well‐being of the child.
We believe that every child deserves a life free of fear, violence, and abuse. Nothing preserves the innocence of childhood, restores the spirit of youth, or enables a child to thrive better than abiding in a safe environment. We often see children at a crossroads ‐‐ at some of the most vulnerable and pivotal times in their young lives. With this in mind, we continue to offer uniquely valuable programs delivered with genuine care and integrity. Our programs are designed to empower children to thrive by putting the child at the center of our best efforts.

Dear friends,As PEI Kids reflects on a successful 2014, we are proud of what we have accomplished. Our Prevention Education workshops reached over 14,000 children and adults in every Mercer County municipality; and 90% of the teens graduating from our Juvenile Intervention programs were re‐engaged with school and pursuing their educational goals. Our Support Services program provided 1,625 visits for children in foster care to regularly meet with their families and strengthen family bonds; and our Crisis Intervention for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse program counseled 547 child victims and family members – helping these young clients heal and understand their value and importance in the world.
Thanks to the generous support of our community partners, our programs and services are strong. PEI Kids was fortunate to receive new funding from several organizations in 2014. Our fundraising events also met with strong response. In April, our 23rd Annual Dinner & Auction surpassed its fundraising goal, generating needed program funding early in the year. In October, our 9th Annual Wine & Food Tasting more than tripled its gross revenue; and donations from the winter appeal nearly doubled the prior year’s total. With such strong support, our programs and services thrived along with the children, families and communities we served.
PEI Kids’ reliance on community support to provide exceptional prevention, intervention, and advocacy programs cannot be overstated. 2014 demonstrated the power of conscientious community members coming together to create lasting, positive influence. Thank you to everyone who showed support – whether you dedicated your time or talent, made a financial or in‐kind contribution, or affirmed our work through a positive word you’ve spoken. We are privileged to have you as partners in our mission to promote and maintain a safe environment for all children.
With sincere gratitude,
Nicholas V. Ventura, Board President
Roslyn E. Dashiell, Executive Director

Each year, our prevention workshops teach over 14,000 students, parents, educators, and community residents how to keep children safe.
Our Prevention Education programs seek to prevent violence and abuse in the lives of children through school‐based workshops and assemblies that teach important safety concepts.
In 2014, our specially‐trained facilitators conducted 598 workshops in 70 public, private, and charter schools reaching 12,901 pre‐K to eighth grade students, teachers, administrators, and parents.
Facilitators are adept at engaging students in an age‐appropriate way to address critical issues, including child assault and sexual abuse prevention, bullying prevention, personal safety, and cyber‐safety. They also create a safe environment for children to disclose concerns –‐ such as a second‐grade girl
whose teenage brother was sexually molesting her when left to babysit and a first‐grader who lived in fear of his teenage brother’s firearm concealed in their bedroom closet. We were able to bring intervention and support to these frightened children and create a safer environment for them in the process.
Additionally, through our work as the lead agency of The Greater Mercer Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse, we presented 39 free, Enough Abuse community workshops – teaching 767 Mercer County adults how to prevent, identify and respond appropriately to child sexual abuse – to create a safer community for our children and reduce their vulnerability.

OUR SUPPORT SERVICES PROGRAMS BRING NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE AND THEIR FAMILIES.
In 2014, we provided 1,625 supervised visits that enabled children in foster care to spend time with their parents and siblings and share in important family moments and milestones.
Children removed from their homes and placed in foster care need to feel safe and stable. For over 20 years, PEI Kids has provided Supervised Visitation in a safe, nurturing environment for Mercer County children.
Tender moments between parents, children and siblings occur during supervised visits in PEI Kids’ family rooms, at local parks, and through family‐centered activities which we facilitate so children in foster care can benefit from quality family time.
We continue to provide consistent opportunities for biological parents to bond with their children, demonstrate parenting abilities, and preserve and strengthen family bonds with the ultimate goal of reunification.
In 2014, we supervised 1,625 visits while running a Transportation Plus program that provided over 34,000 mile of assisted transport for family visits, medical, therapeutic and other important appointments.
Clients are referred to Support Services programs by the Division of Child Protection & Permanency (DCPP).

Our Juvenile Intervention Services help at‐risk youth turn away from crime and toward more productive futures.
Our Comprehensive Juvenile Offender Outreach Services (CJOOS) and Managing Aggression & Violence (MAV) programs help adjudicated youth and those at risk of juvenile justice involvement. Program participants – still young enough to turn their lives around – learn and master life‐transforming skills necessary for effective interpersonal communication, conflict‐resolution, and violence avoidance.
In 2014, our staff served 120 at‐risk youth through 98 group sessions and 6 educational trips. Run with the support of local law enforcement, Mercer County Juvenile Probation Unit and Family Court, these community‐based programs significantly impact the lives of participants by providing a disposition alternative to confinement, detention, and incarceration and by reducing their vulnerability to the lure of gangs and street life.
Through an evidence‐based curriculum, mentoring and experiential learning opportunities, program participants learn how to avoid violence and crime, build character, and become productive members of the community with a renewed focus on career and educational goals. Significantly, 90% of participants who indicated that they were disengaged with school during intake, were re‐engaged with school upon completion; and 80% indicated that “getting good grades” was a priority.
WE PROVIDE ADOLESCENTS IN TOUGH CIRCUMSTANCES WITH TOOLS THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF THEIR LIVES.

FOR NEARLY THREE DECADES, WE’VE BROUGHT HEALING AND RESTORATION TO CHILD VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE.
Our Crisis Intervention for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse program is the only one of its kind in the County – serving over 5,000 clients since 1987.
Our Crisis Intervention for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse program provides immediate, professional counseling for child victims of sexual abuse, ages 3‐18. The only counseling program of its kind in Mercer County, it helps children cope with the trauma of sexual abuse through one‐on‐one, trauma‐focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF‐CBT) and through support‐group sessions with family members.
The period immediately following the disclosure of the abuse is often the most tumultuous. Through individual counseling, education and support for child victims and their family members, clients are able to heal, restore their sense of self, and begin to resume a level of normalcy in their lives and households. In 2014, we counseled 249 child victims of sexual abuse and 298 supportive family members.

SPECIAL PROJECTS Thanks to community support and valued partnerships, PEI Kids advanced its mission through these special projects in 2014.
Protecting our Daughters from Sexual Abuse through Education and Support
The Protecting our Daughters project is a unique collaboration of PEI Kids’ prevention and intervention programs focused on child sexual abuse. The project provides community‐wide outreach and prevention education for women in the Greater Mercer County region along with counseling and support for girls who have been victims of sexual abuse. Thanks to the generous support of Princeton Area Community Foundation and The Fund for Women & Girls, we provided 29 free, Enough Abuse community workshops ‐‐ in Bordentown, Cranbury, Ewing, Hamilton, Lawrenceville, Pennington and Trenton ‐‐ teaching 643 women how to prevent, identify, and respond appropriately to child sexual abuse. Additionally, our Mother/ Daughter Support Group held 25 sessions for sexually‐abused girls and their mothers/maternal figures – assisting women in their efforts to be positive, supportive role models in their daughters’ lives.
Mother/Daughter Support Group
The Mother/Daughter Support Group promotes education, bonding and peer support for victims of child sexual abuse and their mothers and maternal figures. Led by licensed counselors, the program empowers women to be ambassadors and role models for the girls in their lives and in their communities. In 2014, the Mother/Daughter Support Group received financial support from Arbonne Charitable Foundation, Athenahealth, Horizon Foundation of NJ, Lawrence Township Community Foundation, Princeton Area Community Foundation and The Fund for Women & Girls, TJX Foundation, and the County of Mercer.

Acknowledgements
Community support and partnership are hallmarks of a strong community‐based organization. PEI Kids would like to acknowledge this support and recognize the strategic partners and community volunteers who made our work possible in 2014.
Through our partnership with The Bonner Center for Community‐Engaged Learning at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), Bonner scholars supported our Juvenile Intervention Services programs. By dedicating their time and genuine care to the young people in these programs, they demonstrated the power of peer mentoring. We would also like to recognize Rutgers University, Rider University, and Temple University. Their graduate‐student MSW interns supported our Crisis Intervention for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse counseling program and contributed to the success of our support‐groups for young clients and their families. Also, the support of our Americorp VISTA volunteers – Stephanie Holcomb and Sarahdjie Monosiet – from the NJ Bonner VISTA Fellows program at TCNJ was instrumental to our community outreach and capacity building efforts in 2014. Additional thanks goes to our dedicated cadré of community volunteers who make the Enough Abuse Campaign possible in Mercer County. Through their efforts, we were able to continue providing free community workshops, and have trained over 1,000 adults in how to prevent child sexual abuse. These programs are core to our mission and would not be quite as effective, and in some cases, not at all possible, without the generosity of dedicated volunteers and their selfless community service.
Crucial to PEI Kids’ operating success are the fundraising events and activities which provide much‐needed fiscal support that enables the agency to keep its programs running seamlessly. Event volunteers and committee members lend their time and talent with the heartfelt dedication that only a volunteer can. We owe a debt of gratitude to these volunteers and others who came out to staff and support our signature fundraising events in 2014 – the 9th Annual Wine & Food Tasting Event and the 23rd Annual Dinner & Auction. We are also grateful to the corporations, student groups, community and affinity organizations, and individual volunteers who provided administrative and project support to help meet our operational needs throughout the year.
Finally, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the selfless dedication of our Board of Trustees whose members made sure PEI Kids remained focused and strong. They ensured that the agency’s resources were adequate to meet the needs of our community while working to position PEI Kids to do its best work well into the future.
