Helping Children and Families Succeed Since 1894. Annual Report 2007-2008 Upon our children, how they are taught, rests the fate or fortune of tomorrow's world. ~B C Forbes OUR MISSION AND VISION The mission of The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey is to save children’s lives and build healthy families. We provide at-risk children and their families with a range of culturally sensitive social services that strengthen, support and empower them to achieve their fullest potential and become productive members of society. Our goal is to give children and parents the skills and knowledge they need to help themselves long after our active case involvement has ended. We evaluate everything we do. If it doesn’t work and we can’t improve it, we stop doing it. “Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the ONLY thing.” - Albert Schweitzer I n these unpredictable and challenging times, we have a choice, each of us. We can either be overwhelmed or depressed by current events…OR we can stay focused on what we can do; what we can do for our children and grandchildren at home and for the children at our agency to ensure that they have love, safety and all the family support and community services they need to become successful adults. We know what works and how to do this so children and parents can succeed. We want to influence you to join us and to be positive and upbeat because we know it is the key to successfully dealing with so much change. We know how to help new parents give their babies and toddlers a sense of love, security and thus emotional well-being. We know how to help parents stimulate their babies’ fast developing brains with words and music and storybooks so they will be ready to be good learners by age 3. We know that a child’s brain is 90% fully-wired by age 3 and what is missing in most American literacy programs is the critical underpinning of emotional and social well-being. John Bowlby, MD, understood this in the mid 50s and 60s but it’s been lost on research shelves – the critical importance of loving, bonding and attachment to one constant, loving caretaker: Mom, Dad, Grandma, Foster Mom. Our preventive parenting programs help parents understand this and gives them the skills to be their child’s first and best teacher. We know how important it is for middle school students in 5th through 8th grades to be guided in positive peer groups with slightly older peer leaders setting examples of healthy good decision-making. Our teenage peer leaders are role models in caring about diverse peers, role models doing community services to help others in their school or in their neighborhoods, role models to support peaceful resolution of conflicts among fellow students, and role models to good decision making about drug and alcohol use. President & CEO of The Children’s Home Society of NJ Donna C. Pressma and Friends Rosalind Hunt Doctor, PhD Outgoing Chair Board of Directors When reuniting the family is not possible, we know how to help the state move their children from temporary foster care to permanent, loving adoptive homes with grandparents, relatives or caring adoptive parents. Help us be that positive example that can make a difference. We know how to offer effective early childhood parenting education and we offer programs to insure quality low-cost early childcare services to support parents to be successful moms and dads despite the pressures and demands on their lives. We know how to counsel children and parents who have experienced grief, trauma, losses or changes in life that would overwhelm any one of us. We help our traumatized children to regain the ability to trust, to love and to survive. We know how to help birth parents make thoughtful, important decisions – whether they feel they can keep and raise their babies safely and lovingly or whether they want us to find loving adoptive parents for their babies. We build wonderful adoptive families when that is the right decision. HELP US BE THAT POSITIVE EXAMPLE THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Help us lead others in the community to see what CAN be done for vulnerable children and parents even in a difficult climate of big change and awesome We know how to help very stressed parents carry out their successful family reunification plans to regain and strengthen their ability to safely parent their young children who were temporarily removed from them due to abuse or neglect. challenges. We need you to stay with us and support us so that the coming year will be as remarkable and effective as the past year highlighted in this report. Please enjoy our Annual Report. Donna C. Pressma, President & CEO, Rosalind Hunt Doctor, PhD, Outgoing Chair The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey Annual Report Year Ending May 31, 2008 1 WE HELP CHILDREN SUCCEED IN LIFE THROUGH QUALITY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Children do best in an environment where they feel nurtured, secure and loved. Because we strongly believe there is a loving family for every child in our care, we have developed a wide array of programs and services to strengthen biological families or to find those “forever” families for our babies and children. Child Welfare/Permanency (2007-08) 3,777 children and adults benefited from our services a Domestic and International Adoption (Includes: Home Studies, Placements, Supervision, Court-Appointed Adoption Complaint Investigations) a Infant Foster Care (Includes: border babies and “medically fragile” children) a Family and Group Counseling a Family Team Meetings a Kinship Support Services a Intensive Services for abused and neglected children and parents In New Jersey… “…of the 12,042 children in DYFS out-of-home care in 2005, 5,446 were waiting to be adopted. The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey helped thousands of these DYFS children be released for adoption. The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey also found loving parents and permanent adoptive homes for 28 of its infants last year.” – Child Welfare League of America 2 The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey Annual Report Year Ending May 31, 2008 NOT KNOWING MY MOTHER Not knowing my mother made it hard to see All the pain and the hurt inside of me The laughs and the love I wanted to give Were very hard for me because I didn’t know how to forgive The wall that I put up for so many years Just made life more difficult and my eyes filled with tears To know that you loved me and never would leave Was a vision in my mind that I always did dream To feel your comfort and see that you are there To know no matter what you always did care But now that I know you what a gift to me To finally see what real love could be I thank God every day for you coming into my life For making a change without having to think twice And I pray that you’ll stay and never leave again Because without having a mother is like a child without any friends Love, Laniece (Note: Laniece is a young mom in our SAFE parenting teen foster care program. After spending most of her life in DYFS foster homes, she and her birth mother recently chose to reunite and are now in the process of re-establishing their relationship. Laniece is preparing to transition to independence and to support and raise her son. In New Jersey… …53,859 grandparents had primary responsibility for caring for their grandchildren in 2006 (US Census). Today, there are more than 100,000 loving New Jersey grandparents taking on this role. CLINICAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES (2007-08) 1,378 children and adults benefited from our services We offer individual and family counseling to children impacted by unplanned pregnancies, foster home placements, trauma or the loss of loved ones.

In 2007, there were 4,600 eligible children on the child care statewide waiting list. 4 The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey Annual Report Year Ending May 31, 2008 SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS (2007-08) 2,600 children and adults benefited from these programs We conduct two youth development and primary prevention programs in local Mercer County schools. “NJ After 3 – Positive Impact” offers Trenton middle school students a positive alternative to gang involvement and a chance to participate in after school drama and dance classes, academic tutoring, photography, sports, games and other recreational activities. Through KIKS (Kids Intervention with Kids in School), our youth development school day program in Trenton, Princeton and Cranbury, students learn good decision-making skills and constructive ways to handle stress, anger and negative peer pressure. These life skills help them “stay on track” and prevent substance abuse, premature sexual behavior, bullying, teen violence and other self-destructive behaviors. KIKS won national recognition in 2001 for being one of the most promising and effective model youth prevention programs in the nation. 30 of our KIKS students raised a total of $1,800 in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s annual MS Walk by making the five-mile trip from their school to Griffith Electric and back. Pictured above with our KIKS students is CHS of NJ Board Vice President of Community Relations Meta Griffith (center), owner of Griffith Electric, the local sponsor of the event. Meta Griffith was honored at our 2007 Gala for her remarkable lifetime support of our babies and school-aged youth. In New Jersey… At the year-end picnic hosted by the Princeton Wegmans Market for students at the Grace A. Dunn Middle School in Trenton, Wegmans representatives Scott Payne, David DeLaus (back row, l to r) and Phoebbie Bryant (front row, far left) took time out to join CHS of NJ President/CEO Donna Pressma (second from right) and KIKS Director Louise Shabazz (far right) in congratulating Kimberly Soto (front, center) for winning the Wegmans Perfect Attendance Award in NJ After 3. …An estimated 63,000 children aged 12-17 were dependent on or abusing drugs or alcohol in 2005, the date of the latest report. – The Centers of Disease Control The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey Annual Report Year Ending May 31, 2008 5 “I PRAYED TO GOD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO HELP.” When a widowed mother of five needed emergency hospitalization because of out-of-control mental health and substance abuse issues that made her a danger to herself and her children, DYFS had to consider placing her four younger children in separate foster homes in different parts of the state. The oldest child, a 22-year-old waitress who was already living independently, wanted to care for her siblings herself, but she had no way of meeting their basic needs until the state could legally help her take over the family’s living expenses two months later. Although all of the children, scared for their mom’s well-being and their own, desperately wanted to remain together, there appeared to be no chance for that to happen. No other options seemed available to them but to be separated. derful, spontaneous generosity of our caring board, we were able to keep all five children together and temporarily help them when no one else could. We made sure they had food on their table and we replaced their very old, ill-fitting clothing with new clothes they could wear to school. We took the four youngest girls to a beauty parlor to have their hair done so they would no longer be teased and embarrassed by their appearance. We arranged for the family to have immediate supportive counseling. Today, the children remain together with their older sister in charge. They are back in school and two are currently on the honor roll. Mom is on the road to recovery and will resume her parenting role at home in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, the oldest sister has found a much better paying job that will enable her to better meet the family’s expenses and keep the children together until their mother returns. “keep the children together” “I prayed to God that someone would care enough to help. This must be God answering my prayers,” the oldest daughter softly responded with tears of happiness in her eyes when we told her CHS of NJ could help keep her and her siblings together. We had learned of the children’s situation from their DYFS case-worker in one of our family team planning meetings just a few hours before they were to be moved. Thanks to the won- 6 In New Jersey… …In 2006, the fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment was $1,103 per month. The wage necessary to afford this two-bedroom apartment was $21.21 per hour working a 40-hour week. – National Low Income Housing Coalition The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey Annual Report Year Ending May 31, 2008 COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES (2007-08) 1,723 children and adults benefited from our services In collaboration with Children’s Futures, the State of New Jersey Department of Children and Families, Capital Health System and other community partners, we offer culturally sensitive support and health programs for improving birth outcomes, strengthening parenting skills and improving early child literacy and readiness to learn. At our two Family Success Parent Child Centers in Trenton’s North and South Wards, we provide the on-site support and resources parents say they need to raise happy, healthy and productive children. Both centers offer FACES, our mental health assessment and counseling program for families with children from birth to age six. FACES identifies and removes or reduces emotional issues as barriers to learning so the children are better able to learn when they enter school. Both centers also include expanded CUNA pre-natal and post-natal parenting and support services for Spanish speaking families. North & South Parent/Child Family Success Center Programs: a “Mommy and Me” (for mothers and young children) a “Music Together” (moms/dads and children attend together) a “Fun with Books and Music” (moms/dads and children attend together) a FACES (mental health assessment and counseling) a Home Visiting Services (we visit families in their homes) a “Lunch Bunch” (a support group for mothers) a BPA (Bilingual Parenting Academy) CUNA (Latino pre- and post-natal parenting programs): a CUNA classes (for expectant or new mothers and fathers) a MAYA Program (for mothers who have completed CUNA classes and wish to serve as mentors) a Safety Education Workshops (for parents and older children) a BURP parenting program (for parents and very young children) CUNA moms gather at the South Ward Parent/Child Family Success Center for the “Baby Shower” which marks the end of each 12-week CUNA session. In New Jersey… …although the state’s total population has grown by only 1% since 2000, the Latino population has grown by 22%. One in seven of New Jersey’s current 8.5 million residents is Latino.

Originally, the stockings were made of heavy red paper and had slots for the insertion of a check or cash donation. Donors often returned their gifts in person. In later years, our paper red stockings were used as holiday decorations by donors who chose to mail their contributions. Today, our “Red Stocking Appeal” is the agency’s primary fundraising drive of the year and donations are usually made by mail, phone or through the internet. Monies raised are used to support our infant foster care program, adoption services, birth parent and family counseling, child abuse and neglect prevention services, school based youth development programs … and so much more! This year’s “Red Stocking” drive begins on December 1st with a goal of $80,000. Due to the economic times we are in, our needs are extraordinary. Check our website to read about Isabella’s story.

Through your gift today, you will help to ensure the availability of these services in the future and give more children the chance to reach their full potential. Please visit us on the internet at www.chsofnj.org or contact us at (609) 695-6274 ext. 161 to make a gift or to learn more about these ways to give. INDIVIDUAL GIFTS SPECIAL EVENTS INKIND AND CAR DONATIONS We appreciate and acknowledge every contribution, regardless of size. Voluntary donations received from concerned and caring friends fund adoptions, infant foster care and other services that save and change children’s lives. If you wish, you may use your VISA, Mastercard or American Express credit cards to make a gift by phone, mail, or through the internet. Attending and participating in a special event is a way you can have fun while supporting programs that are saving and changing children’s lives. You are welcome to attend our annual Gala or any of the other events we hold during the year. Check our website for the dates and places! We welcome your donations of gifts cards to Wal-Mart, Target and other stores, new clothing, new toys, school supplies, gift baskets, and other non-monetary contributions. We also accept donations of used cars (running or not). You can visit our website or call us for a list of our current needs. INDIVIDUAL DONOR EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS PLANNED GIVING CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION GIVING We are very grateful for our many corporate sponsors and foundation friends who support our programs and special events. Fun with Books and Music, KIKS, CUNA (our Latino outreach program) and Respite Care are just a few of the important programs they make possible. If your employer is interested in becoming a corporate donor or learning about our many corporate employee volunteer opportunities, please let us know. You can do what many of our other supporters are doing and celebrate an important day or event in your life by hosting a party and asking invitees to bring a donation for CHS of NJ in lieu of a personal present. You could provide the babies in our Infant Foster Care Program with diapers and other needed baby items through one of these special gatherings. A simple bequest in a will, a trust, a paid-up life insurance policy – these are just some of the ways you can make a significant gift to CHS of NJ while reducing your own capital gains, gifts and estate taxes and providing a lifetime income for yourself or those you love. WHAT WE NEED MOST GIFTS OF REMEMBRANCE MAJOR GIFTS A remembrance gift to CHS of NJ is a thoughtful and meaningful way for you to make a difference in the life of a child while celebrating the life or accomplishments of a loved one or friend. We will send an acknowledgement to you and an announcement to the individual or family of the person in whose name your gift was made. Through a restricted gift of $10,000 or more from your company, foundation or private account, you could initiate, maintain or expand a specific program. Your unrestricted gift would allow us the flexibility of directing dollars to programs in greatest need or to purchase needed equipment. • • • • • A new van that will transport 15 clients An endowed psychiatrist position to help our traumatized children and parents An endowed Respite & Counseling program to prevent child abuse and neglect An endowed fund to expand services to Latino clients in need An endowed fund to help us care for our babies until we find adoptive parents for them GIFTS OF STOCK If you wish to donate appreciated securities, you can do so very easily by contacting our funds development office to initiate the transfer. Benefits to you include the avoidance of any capital gains tax, a tax-deduction for the value of the stock, and the knowledge that many children will be helped through services you helped fund. MATCHING GIFTS Many companies actively support their employees’ charitable giving and will match or even double these gifts. Ask your employer for a matching gift form, complete it and mail it to us with your contribution. You will increase the value of your gift and help twice as many children. UNITED WAY DESIGNATIONS You can designate CHS of NJ as the recipient of your United Way contribution by using the donor choice option.
