Explanation
Part I, Line 1 - Mission or Most Significant Activities
PCA promotes healing and justice for child sexual abuse victims in Philadelphia by conducting state of the art forensic interviews, providing victim support services, collaborating with other agencies, and leading the development of an integrated response.
Form 990, Part III, Lines 4a, 4b
The Philadelphia Childrens Alliance (PCA) coordinates an interdisciplinary response to promote healing and justice for child victims of sexual abuse in Philadelphia and has continued to be a leading catalyst for change in how abused children are served and cared for in the city. Every month more than 200 cases of alleged child sexual abuse are reported in Philadelphia. Before PCA was in place, sexually abused children had to tell their story over and over againto police officers, district attorneys, case workers and more. They had to navigate the process alone, without a guide, without an advocate. Not only was this process adding additional trauma to the child by forcing them to recount the abuse again and again, but the repeated interviews resulted in more court challenges to the childs statement, decreasing the chances of prosecution. Today, all children victimized by sexual abuse in Philadelphia are brought to PCA. Here in a child-friendly facility that is built around their needs, they are seen by one of PCAs expert forensic interviewers, all thoroughly trained to work with child victims. They avoid multiple interviews by investigators from different agencies, and are seen by one specially trained forensic interviewer who gives the child an opportunity to tell their story and get the truth out in the open. At PCA, every child and family is also assigned a Victim Advocate who walks them through the process, gives the family referrals for medical treatment and counseling, and accompanies the child to court when he or she needs to testify. In fact because other family members may also be witnesses in the case, our Victim Advocate is often the only friendly face a child will see in the courtroom when they are facing their abuser-an experience many abuse survivors say is the most harrowing experience of their lives. In early 2012, the Mayor announced that the City would enter a contract to build a new facility for the care and protection of child victims at 300 E. Hunting Park Avenue. This new facility was centered on the model of collaboration that Philadelphia Childrens Alliance has created and nurtured over the past twenty-four years and provides the opportunity for PCA to be co-located with our team members from DHS and SVU and our medical and mental health partners. Co-location provides a state-of-the-art one-stop resource for child victims and their families. Over the course of FY 2013, while the facility was under construction with a planned move set for summer of 2013, our program staff worked closely with our partners from DHS and SVU to develop policies and procedures to inform this newly enhanced partnership. PCA continued to build capacity in preparation for co-locating by hiring the staff necessary to serve 100% of the children who need us. That team and capacity building work resulted in an immediate and dramatic increase in the number of children who were being referred to us for service. Having served 1,151 children in FY 2012, we saw that number soar to 1,543 in FY 2013 and 2,772 children served in FY 2014. In another milestone, in the late spring of 2013, PCA began to offer on-site mental health treatment for children who have been sexually abused and their supportive caregivers. Recognizing the vital need for victimized children to have access to high quality, evidence-based, trauma-specific therapy in a timely manner, PCAs Victim Advocates have routinely referred many families to existing therapeutic providers, but found that there were not enough supply to meet the demand. Faced with long waitlists and families that became disengaged, it was time to bring this service in house. Plans for co-location offered the perfect timing and the space necessary to make that happen. Experienced clinician and licensed professional counselor Amada Peguero-Marquez oversees PCAs mental health program, provides evidence-based treatment to many of PCAs clients. In addition to standardized screening of all children who present at PCA for symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the following two therapeutic models are offered: 1. Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), which is a short-term family focused model designed to prevent the development of chronic PTSD following a traumatic event. Typically four to six sessions, CFTSI is best used for children ages 7 and up who have a long-term supportive caregiver and who do not meet the criteria for PTSD. 2. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) is a longer model, typically involving twelve to eighteen sessions, which helps children of all ages and their non-offending caregivers overcome trauma-related difficulties. TF-CBT can be used effectively with children who already meet the criteria for PTSD. Through the use of both models, children demonstrate a significant improvement in functioning or show a reduction in trauma symptoms and that overall, compliance with treatment is higher due to the continuity of care available at PCA and the immediate availability of treatment. Taking PCA one step closer to fully actualizing our mission, we were very excited to expand these services in 2014. For 25 years, PCA has advocated for a team-based approach and has effectively changed how sexually abused children are cared for in Philadelphia. PCA continues to meet all NCA standards, is a best standards model for peer agencies nationally, and serves as the Northeast Regional Childrens Advocacy Center. We are grateful for our partners that include the Philadelphia Police Departments Special Victims Unit, the Department of Human Services, the District Attorneys Office, Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, Hall Mercer of the University of Pennsylvania, and the Support Center for Child Advocates, Women Organized Against Rape, and the JJ Peters Institute.
