A Welcome
FROM THE BOARD CHAIR AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Greetings! First and foremost, thank you for your interest in Invest in Kids and your
ongoing support. It is always so exciting to look back at the end of the year and
take note of the stellar work accomplished by our capable team and supporters.
In this report, it is our pleasure to share the tremendous child and parent outcomes
that are a result of our delivery of the Nurse-Family Partnership® and The Incredible
Years®. Not only are the results impressive but we have continued to expand our
reach. The significant community need for services coupled with our successful
programs ensure that each year more and more Coloradans at-risk receive these
proven, prevention programs that have a track record of success! In addition to the
powerful data and exciting updates, this report will introduce you to Kelsey’s story.
She proudly represents the thousands of women and families who have been
empowered by our programs.
This truly has been an incredible year (pun intended). In partnership with community
leaders, care providers, and donors, Invest in Kids has improved the health and
well-being of over 11,000 of Colorado’s vulnerable children and families. In addition
to the program’s growth, our continuous commitment to improving the quality of our
program delivery remains unwavering.
Sean Waters
The Incredible Years® team kicked off the first cohort of Peer Coaches in school
districts throughout the state. This effort is intended to build state and local capacity
through collaborative partnerships, increase the reach of vulnerable families served
and support sustainability through local capacity development. As always, this is
done with the utmost rigor and program fidelity to ensure the high quality outcomes
we at IIK expect. The team used its extensive programmatic experience, and wealth
of coaching expertise and facilitation skills to optimize this training.
Nurse-Family Partnership® has been included as a part of the state’s Child Welfare
Plan, “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy 2.0”, aiming to increase collaboration
between child welfare and the Nurse-Family Partnership®, increase nurses’ knowledge
and confidence in addressing risks for child abuse and neglect and increase enrollment.
Invest in Kids has the honor of managing this project and it’s off to a strong start!
Lisa A. HIll
It is a privilege to serve this organization, our partners, and children and families
throughout the state. We could not do what we do without the generous support
from our donors, staff and volunteers. We look forward to another great year in
continued service to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable children and
families in Colorado.
Sincerely,
Sean Waters
Chair, Board of Directors

According to the Journal of American Medical Association
article, “Chronic Mental Health Issues in Children now
Loom Larger than Physical Problems,” for the first time in
history the top five disabilities facing children in the U.S.
are mental health problems rather than physical ones.
Recent data in Kids Count in Colorado 2013 reported that
the age group most likely to be living in poverty is children,
and there is a strong connection between poverty and a
higher likelihood of experiencing toxic stress and related
mental health issues. This data is further evidenced by the
Colorado Health Foundation’s March 2013 Report Card
which gave Colorado a D+ in the area of “Healthy
Children.” In Colorado it is estimated that this year at
least 16,000 children arrived in kindergarten classrooms
unprepared to keep pace with their peers.
AT INVEST IN KIDS, WE ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION
We are putting research to work to help ensure that every day, more and more
low-income, at-risk Colorado children and their families are given the opportunities
and support they deserve. Founded in 1999, Invest in Kids is a Colorado-based
organization committed to enhancing the lives of young children and families
through improved health and well-being. We bring research-based, prevention
programs into communities across the state and collaborate with local stakeholders
to ensure their ongoing success. Our unique approach is what separates the work
we do from others trying to achieve similar outcomes:
• First, we identify programs with proven track records or methodologies
for success.
• Second, we introduce these programs to Colorado communities and
constituencies to see where and how they can net the greatest impact.
• Third, we implement the programs through agency partners, in collaboration with community leaders and other
key constituents.
• Fourth, we ensure each program’s ongoing success through strict adherence to guidelines and measurement
of results.
• Finally, we work with key partners and supporters to ensure long-term program sustainability.
Invest in Kids’ current programs, Nurse-Family Partnership® and The Incredible Years®, are evidence-based, prevention
programs with proven outcomes for young children and their families. By focusing our efforts on families at-risk, we
help give every child a chance to succeed. In our role as intermediary between research and direct service, Invest in
Kids functions as advocate, collaborator, initiator, facilitator, and sustainer, strengthening Colorado families through
the individual lives of each child. Each program has been nationally recognized by for its high level of effectiveness,
recognition that is provided to very few programs reviewed nationwide. Only those that can demonstrate the highest
level of standards and greatest promise for impact become part of our mission.
“Invest in Kids has been a leader in the nonprofit community for the past 14 years. The key to this success stems
from quality local partnerships and dedication to effective prevention strategies. Invest in Kids empowers Colorado
children with the tools they need so they go to school ready to learn and ultimately succeed in the world.”
– Kelly Brough, President and CEO,
Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce

P A R T N E R S H I P®
For a vulnerable young woman who’s not prepared to care for a child,
a new baby can mean the continuation of the cycle of poverty, conflict,
and despair. The Nurse-Family Partnership® solution is to provide
low-income, first-time expectant mothers with a trained nurse who makes
regular home visits during the pregnancy and until the second birthday of
the child. The frequency of the visits and longevity of the relationship is
intentional. Nurse-Family Partnership® is the only home visitation program
in the country with over 30 years of clinical trials. These trials prove that
Nurse-Family Partnership® produces long term changes in the lives of
both mother and child.
NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP® GOALS:
• Improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in good
preventative health practices, including thorough prenatal care from
their healthcare providers, improving their diets, and reducing their use
of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal substances.
• Improve child health and development by helping parents provide
responsible and competent care.
• Improve the economic self-sufficiency of the family by helping parents
develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue
their education, and find work.
Proven Effectiveness:
A cornerstone of Nurse-Family Partnership® is the extensive
research on the model conducted over the last three decades.
Follow-up research continues today, studying the long-term outcomes
for mothers and children in the three trials. Results demonstrated
15 years after the completion of the program include a 48% reduction
in child abuse and neglect, a 59% reduction in child arrests (by age 15),
and 72% fewer convictions for moms who graduated from the program.
The longitudinal data also shows significant increases in the child’s
school readiness and the self-sufficiency of the mother.
2013 COLORADO OUTCOMES:
The program now has a presence in 60 out
of Colorado’s 64 counties. Site development
is underway with the remaining counties,
which will mean that the program will be
available to serve first-time, low-income
families throughout the entire state.
The most recent statewide quarterly report
shows the following outcomes:
• 16,695 clients enrolled in Colorado since
the program began
• 21% decrease in smoking in pregnancy
• 32% decrease in alcohol use in pregnancy
• 48% decrease in experience of domestic
violence during pregnancy
• 90.7% of clients initiate breast feeding
• 90.4% of 2 year olds are fully immunized
(compare to state average from CHF
report card 71%)
The Nurse-Family Partnership® is a unique proven investment in
the 2 ½ year relationship between a nurse and young mother that is
proven to have a profound impact on the quality of both the mother
and child’s life. The proven programs IIK brings to our communities
have repeatedly been demonstrated to save taxpayer dollars while
helping families and their children succeed. The outcomes benefit
the criminal justice system and offer a win across the board for our
communities and our future.
• 70% of clients do not have a subsequent
pregnancy at child age 2
• 60.9% of clients who are 17 years old or
younger are working at child age 2
• 72.8 of clients who are 18 years old or
older are working at child age 2

A MOTHER’S
STORY
I was 17 when Karla, a nurse from the Nurse-Family Partnership® program, walked into my life and I can only
imagine now what she was thinking the first time we met. As she entered my home, the first thing she saw was
my bed, which consisted of blankets on the hardwood floor. More than likely, she also noticed the smell; it was
a combination of cigarette smoke and dirt. As this woman walked through my house, I was already expecting
a look that I had come to know most of my life; the look of disappointment and disgust. To my surprise, the
unexpected happened. Karla didn’t look at me as a failure; she did not look at me as a form of disgrace, but
rather she saw the potential I had to become the woman I am today.
My story is unique; although, sadly, not uncommon. My childhood was relatively normal; I lived on an 88 acre
farm with my three siblings. My mother had a number of medical issues, which developed into a drug addiction
when I was only 11. My father did everything he could to ease my mother’s pain while providing for his family.
I knew my parents loved me but at the age of 16, I ran away and into a living situation with a boy I had only
known for a month. Shortly after moving into our own trailer, I learned several things about this boy who I was
sharing my life with; I learned he was addicted to drugs, he had been committed to three different mental
institutions, and he was going to be the father of my first child.
After hearing the news, fear overwhelmed me because we could hardly support ourselves. In order to better
prepare for the baby, we moved in with his mother and sister, which was the first time I saw the violent streak
in the father of my child. Things got so bad one night that he threatened to shoot me and my unborn child and I
was left with bruises on my body and spit in my face. I wanted to leave so badly but had nowhere to go, so I
stayed and accepted his apologies. I was still enduring the abuse when Karla showed up at my door.
Karla provided the guidance I desperately needed, and I began to look forward to her visits. She taught me
about my pregnancy and what was happening in my body. Slowly, she began to shape me into a respectable
mother and taught me information that I still use to this day. I had to overcome several challenges throughout the
program. My daughter’s biological father is no longer part of our lives and my mother has finally been released
from her addiction and rests in the arms of the Lord.
Karla’s impact on my life has forever changed my outlook; I am going to make a difference in someone’s life
because she made a difference in mine. Today I am married to the man of my dreams, we have two beautiful
daughters, and I work as a receptionist at a women’s health where I reach out to expecting mothers and
advocate for them to consider the Nurse-Family Partnership®.

T H E I N C R E D I B L E Y E A R S®
The Incredible Years® components were designed to prevent and treat
behavior problems when they first begin or before they start. Early
intervention across contexts can counteract risk factors and strengthen
protective factors, helping to prevent a trajectory toward increasingly
aggressive behaviors and mental health problems and avoid barriers to
school readiness and later success in life. The program is made up of
three distinct but complementary components:
• Dinosaur School includes 60 lessons delivered 2-3 times per week
in pre-school or kindergarten classrooms. Trained teachers co-lead
the lessons using life-size puppets, engaging activities, games, and
video vignettes. The lessons focus on how to solve problems, control
one’s anger, self-monitor one’s emotions, succeed in school, and
make friends.
• The Parenting Program is delivered through a series of 14 weekly
parent group meetings. Trained co-leaders guide the group of
10-14 parents as they learn strategies and skills known to promote
children’s social competence and reduce behavior problems such
as: how to play with children, social, emotional, academic and
persistence skills coaching, effective praise and use of incentives,
establishing predictable routines and rules and promoting responsibility, effective limit-setting, strategies to manage misbehavior
and teaching children to problem solve.
The Colorado Health Foundation is committed to
supporting high-quality, innovative programs that
improve the health and well-being of Coloradans.
The Incredible Years® is clearly one of those
programs we are proud to support.
– Anne Warhover
President and CEO,
The Colorado Health Foundation
• In the Teacher Classroom Management portion of the program
teachers learn positive teaching strategies (focusing on what
children are doing well), how to connect to children with challenging
behaviors, and how to help those children control their behaviors,
among many other essential skills and strategies for classroom
management.
“As competition in the nonprofit sector grows, only the
organizations that can point to strong evidence and a
proven return on investment will survive. Clearly Invest in
Kids will survive, and thrive, as they work to get our most
vulnerable children off to the best possible start.”
– Judi Wagner
Vice Chair of CoBiz Wealth Management, Ret.

RESEARCH RESULTS
Research on The Incredible Years® began in 1982 at the University of Washington by Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton.
Numerous studies since that time have documented its effectiveness in treating a wide array of early childhood issues.
A series of controlled trials have shown the following results (among many others):
• 91% of the children showed significant reductions in conduct problems
• 73% of the children showed significant reductions in negative behaviors at home
• 69% of the children showing poor social skills at the beginning of school-year demonstrated normal skills at year’s end
• 80% of children continued to show improved conduct a year after program end
• Significant reductions in parental depression and increases in parental self-confidence

scores for each of the three sub-scales (PCS, ERS and AS), as well as a
PCS/ERS combined score and a PCS/ERS/AS overall score. An increase in

JANE-A-THON – WINTER PARK – MARCH 2013
At the 14th annual Jane-A-Thon, more than 130 skiers and snowboarders
participated over the two days, helping Invest in Kids raise over $90,000
for Colorado’s most vulnerable children and families. Corporate Day provided
an opportunity for companies to cultivate employee camaraderie and foster
a stronger team environment, while raising money for a great cause.
On Saturday, individuals, families, and kids took part in the traditional
Saturday Jane-A-Thon. Presented by Newmont Mining, this year’s
Jane-A-Thon sponsors included: The Piton Foundation, Cook Street
Consulting, Lockton, Steele Street Bank, Fuller/Sotheby’s, Aimco,
Jon Kruljac, Holland & Hart, Denver Life Magazine, and Fox 31.
PUTTING KIDS CENTER STAGE GALA – THE FILLMORE
AUDITORIUM – MAY 2013
The Denver Post described the fifth annual Denver event as, “…so
popular that it takes a venue as large as the Fillmore Auditorium to hold
everyone wanting to attend.” Co-chaired by Catherine Goodwille and
Diane Reed, this event again attracted a generous crowd, including a large
number of business owners and community leaders, including Presenting
Sponsor, the Piton Foundation. This year’s gala was a historic event;
Invest in Kids raised more money that evening than any other single day in
our 15 year history. Denver’s premier chef’s from Barolo Grill, Elway’s,
Linger, The Populist, Rioja, Twelve, Vesta Dipping Grill, and Happy Cakes
prepared the amazing courses that have become the cornerstone of
this event.
BITES & BREWS AT UPSLOPE BREWERY – NOVEMBER 2013
Invest in Kids planned to host our fall harvest dinner event at Planet
Bluegrass in Lyons, which was devastated by flooding just days beforehand.
To honor the families devastated by the floods, including several currently
enrolled in Invest in Kids programs, a portion of the contributions from the
rescheduled event were directed to local flood relief efforts. The sold-out
event was reformatted and rescheduled for Saturday, November 16th
at Boulder’s Upslope Brewery. It was held to support Invest in Kids’
programs and families in Boulder County, and to celebrate the strength
that is the fabric of the Boulder community.
Thank you to our sponsors, auction donors, and restaurant partners. We extend our gratitude to (T)oday’s
(W)omen (In)vesting in (K)ids (TWINKs) of Denver, Boulder and Eagle Counties, and to the Jane-A-Thon
planning committee without whom these incredible events would not be possible.
