Highlights - 2012
Dear Friends,
During the 2010-11 fiscal year we improved the lives of nearly as many young
people as ever and ended the year with a small addition to reserves. This was despite
the challenges created by the economy and government funding reductions. The challenges have mounted in the 2011-12 fiscal year as the state suspended
Cal-Learn, a program that significantly increases graduation rates of teen moms while
dramatically reducing subsequent teen births. This forced us to trim the staff by 40 and
undertake a number of cost cutting measures that affected all employees. Due to the
support of First 5 LA, a very generous bequest by former board member Rita Carmen,
hard work by the Events Committee, strong belt tightening, and many other generous
donors, the reserves will increase slightly this year as well.
We are enormously grateful to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and First
5 LA for funding to maintain vital case management services for hundreds of teen
parents and their young children during 2011-2012. Nearly 13,000 babies are born to
adolescent mothers in Los Angeles County yearly. This is a most vulnerable population –
two generations at very high risk. Our services ensure that babies are born healthy and
receive the care, protection and nurturing they need to thrive. Young mothers learn to
parent effectively, stay in school, plan for the future and postpone further childbearing
until they have the means to support their families. The California Wellness, Weingart,
Eisner and Parsons Foundations all came forward to sustain these and other crucial
services for struggling families. We are delighted that the state has decided to refund Cal-Learn for 2012-2013.
This will allow us to serve more teen parents and their babies and somewhat ease the
financial challenge we face.
Partners also enabled El Nido to develop new opportunities. With Grifols Biologicals,
El Nido is creating a mentoring program that pairs Cal State L.A. and high-school students
to promote graduation and college enrollment. A growing corps of devoted volunteers
provides much-needed tutoring and creative learning activities.Our emerging Alumni
group members, former clients with remarkable success stories, are both role models
and advocates for their peers. Scholarships (supported by the Payson Wolff Scholarship
Fund, Board Advisor Jay de Miranda, Citibank and other benefactors) continue to assist
exceptional young women and men to pursue higher education demonstrating that
someone cares enough to offer a helping hand.

CASE MANAGEMENT AND
24 HOUR CRISIS LINE FOR CLIENTS
Families of abused, neglected and at-risk
children are referred to El Nido Family Centers
for comprehensive services by the Los Angeles
Department of Children and Family Services
(DCFS), schools and other programs. Some of these
children are in foster care and others remain with
their families under the supervision of DCFS workers.
Given the stress families are experiencing, the
need for El Nido’s services is greater than ever.
Research shows that an economic crisis can have
an adverse effect on parent-child relationships.
El Nido’s Master’s-level professionals partner with
families to build upon their existing strengths,
enhancing family functioning and treating underlying
trauma. Therapists empower parents to identify
effective strategies, examine how and why they
worked, and increase positive practices in place of
behaviors that are harmful.
OUTCOMES
•100% of families receiving counseling
showed improvement in the home
environment and/or family functioning
•97% of families receiving treatment did
not have subsequent incidents of child
abuse or neglect reported
•9
3% of children who came to the program
with symptoms of trauma showed
subsequent reduced levels of trauma

OUR PROGRAMS
Wolff and Simms/Mann Family
Offered at Will Rogers Elementary School and Edison Language Academy in Santa Monica’s Pico Corridor,
this school-based program provided prevention and early intervention services in English and Spanish to
children 0-5 in crisis and their families. Professional clinicians and Master’s-level interns provided individual,
family and/or group counseling on campus or in the home, case management, crisis intervention and
parent education.
OUTCOMES
•Assessments were provided to 148 incoming students, surpassing El Nido’s annual goal by 6%
•Individual, Group, and/or Family Counseling & Case Management services were provided
to a total of 159 students/children, exceeding the stated objective (110 students) by 45%
•40 students received crisis intervention services, exceeding El Nido’s goal of 18 by an
unprecedented 122%
SUCCESS STORY
Deanne was 14 when she was referred to El Nido by her school counselor for skipping school and failing classes.
Deanne spent most of her time hiding in her room – avoiding friends and family. In the safe environment of
El Nido, Deanne admitted she was having nightmares, disturbing flashbacks and was afraid of men. Her
skilled therapist discovered the cause: Deanne was re-living sexual abuse in early childhood by an adult
cousin. Her parents had reported the abuse and the man was successfully prosecuted, but they never told
Deanne. They mistakenly thought that the child was too young at the time to recall the events, and that
pretending nothing happened would protect her. Deanne thought they didn’t care and that she was still in
danger. The therapist engaged them all in family sessions, where each could express their feelings of shame,
fear and regret. They also accepted the reality; the abuser – not the child or her parents – was at fault.
After guided emotional dialogue, the family could truly begin to recover. Deanne’s trust in her parents was
restored and their support for her was unconditional. After treatment, Deanne was freed from her symptoms
of trauma. She regularly attended and succeeded in school, while reconnecting with peers and family.
Deanne tells her therapist she is studying hard, to pursue a career as a child psychologist.

CHILD SAFETY DEVELOPMENT
PARENTING EDUCATION
El Nido is the largest provider of teen family services
in California. Compared to their counterparts
age 20 and over, teen parents are at higher risk
for spending their lifetimes in poverty, dependent
on public benefits and without a high-school
education. Babies of teen mothers are more
likely to be born prematurely and underweight,
in danger of infant mortality, ongoing health and
developmental problems and of becoming teen
parents themselves.
Low-income teens who decide to keep their
babies – are often isolated, overwhelmed and
unprepared for the challenges of motherhood. Our
staff educates and encourages teens, promoting
healthy lifestyles, optimal birth outcomes, positive
parenting, educational attainment and vocational
success.
Case managers and a nurse assess the unique
needs and strengths of each teen family, then link
them with resources to address problems and build
on assets. El Nido collaborates with partners who
provide health and dental care, mental health and
substance abuse treatment, domestic violence
intervention, academic assistance, vocational
training, housing, nutritional and/or income support.
OUR PROGRAMS
Teen Family Services
El Nido staff visits clients in their homes to screen mothers, babies and households for risk factors such as inadequate
prenatal or well-baby care, child abuse/neglect, environmental hazards, domestic violence, substance abuse,
depression and developmental delay. Families assessed as high risk are immediately assigned to a case manager
and a treatment plan is created. With helpful information and compassionate guidance, teens become what
they want most – to be good mothers who are affirmative role models for their children.
El Nido also works with (and in) schools to enable teens to earn their high-school diplomas or GEDs. Case
Managers arrange for transportation, child care, volunteer tutors, and offer positive reinforcement to
motivate teens to achieve. Clients often report that their case manager was the first person in their lives to
believe in them – giving them the confidence they needed to try their best.
OUTCOMES
•93% of pregnant teens gave birth to full-term and/or healthy weight babies
•77% of teens were attending school or graduated during the year
•Only 2% of teen clients participating in El Nido’s Teen Family Services Program this year
had a repeat pregnancy
SUCCESS STORY
18-year-old single mother Karen was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising two
active boys, ages 23 months and 7 months. She
had dropped out of school and was struggling to
financially and emotionally support herself and her
young children. Karen was referred to El Nido by the
Department of Public Social Services (DPSS). Elena,
an El Nido case manager, reached out, calling and
visiting the teen mother. At their first meeting, Karen
appeared depressed and said she felt defeated,
but she also had a strong desire to go back to
school and be a good mother to her children. Elena
helped Karen find quality child care and enroll in
services that provided fresh food and transportation.
Elena also taught Karen parenting skills to help her
children learn and feel secure. Karen worked hard,
as a mother and a student, gaining hope and
self-esteem with positive feedback from Elena. Her
children are thriving and Karen graduated from
high school. During her last visit with Elena, Karen
shared how proud she was – she had just learned
she’d gotten a full scholarship and would be the first
in her family to go to college.
PARTNERS AND HIGHLIGHTS
Teen Family Services
Visiting Nurse
A bilingual Registered Nurse makes home visits to teen mothers who have complicated pregnancies or
medically fragile infants. Drawing on El Nido’s extensive network of community practitioners, the Nurse
ensures that clients have access to: primary, preventive and specialized medical services; health insurance;
nutrition; dental care; mental health care; and substance abuse treatment. Prenatal care classes and a
mothers’ support group led by the nurse give teens a forum in which they can share with each other while
learning about well-baby care and pregnancy prevention.
OUTCOMES
ABOUT OUR WORK, DATA & FACTS
• Southeast Los Angeles (zip code 90011) had
the highest number of teen births in the State
of California in 2010
• Teen mothers and their babies have more
health risks than older women and their
offspring, adding about $10.9 billion to public
health costs each year
•184 pregnant/parenting teens and their children received an array of services from El Nido’s
Registered Nurse and 100% of adolescents enrolled received prenatal care
•El Nido’s Visiting Nurse Program helped prevent premature births in 100% of cases where premature
births were likely, a success rate that compares favorably to the over 13% premature delivery rate for
all births in L.A. County, impressive results considering the very high-risk target population – low-income
teens with limited knowledge of and access to health care and weak social support networks
Best Babies Program
San Fernando Valley Best Babies Collaborative (BBC) of which El Nido is a member, funded by Northeast
Valley Health Corp via First 5 LA, is made up of agencies working together to reduce poor birth outcomes in
communities with a large concentration of high-risk pregnancies. Agencies pool resources to improve and
expand coordinated prenatal and interconception care through intensive in-home case management,
social support, health education and counseling.
“I felt so lost and alone –
I would not have been able to
do this without you. I am so glad
there are programs like this one
to help other teens like me.”
- former El Nido client

SUCCESS STORY
Anna came to El Nido’s FamilySource Center
because her teen daughter Lilly was using marijuana,
on the verge of being expelled from school and
completely out of control at home. With 3 other
children, both Anna and her husband worked long
hours, had frequent ugly fights and expected Lilly
to care for herself and her siblings. The mother and
father enrolled in Parent Education classes, where
they learned that even adolescents need limits,
supervision and guidance. They rearranged their
schedules to be home more, and established rules
and reasonable consequences for misbehavior.
There are now regular times for family meals, for
study/reading and for each child to enjoy special
attention from mom or dad. The parents also
joined a couples support group, where they
found better ways to manage stress and resolve
conflicts. The change has dramatically affected
Lilly. Her behavior and schoolwork have noticeably
improved. Lilly also received tutoring in the Center’s
computer lab, which stimulated her interest in
technology as a career path. Anna cheerfully
describes the supportive atmosphere at home and
the more constructive way her family communicates. She further credits El Nido for her daughter’s
academic success and pursuing vocational goals.
• Citibank and Wells Fargo offered Financial
Management Workshops to help clients prepare
a budget, save money and develop financial
goals for the future
• The Mother Joseph Fund Grant provided
one-time emergency assistance for rent, food
or utility vouchers or transportation to clients
who did not qualify for any other benefits.
In turn, these clients volunteered at our FSC,
gaining skills and experiences that made them
more desirable to employers
Youth Development
GANG REDUCTION|YOUTH ADVOCACY
DELINQUENCY PREVENTION & INTERVENTION
OUR PROGRAMS
El Nido offers a variety of programs to enable
adolescents in challenging circumstances to
cross the bridge to responsible adulthood. Our
programs have taught youth skills to advance their
educational and career goals and to postpone
parenthood until they can truly provide for their
families. The L.A. Police Department has recognized
El Nido FamilySource Centers for its effectiveness in
preventing subsequent arrests among youth.
Delinquency Prevention/
Intervention Program
El Nido works closely with L.A. County Department
of Probation to individualize intervention for youthful
offenders at risk for incarceration. In addition,
counselors work with young people (8-17) referred
by schools for behavior problems on campus that
could lead to criminal behavior in the community.
Services range from individual and family counseling
to tutoring and career planning. Reasons for
referrals include burglary, assault, substance abuse,
gang activity, absence of parents in the home,
delinquency and earlier neglect and abuse.
OUTCOMES
•99% of youth who completed at least
5 counseling sessions demonstrated
improvement in one of the following
three indicators: school achievement,
classroom/community/home behavior,
and school/social activity involvement
OUR PROGRAMS
Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD)
The goal of the Pacoima Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) Program is to prevent gang joining
among youth (ages 10–15 years) who are at high risk of gang involvement. Youth/families are referred by LAPD
and Probation officers, local middle and high schools, the Department of Children and Family Services and
community-based organizations. A research-based screening tool is administered to select clients to be served.
Comprehensive assessment, individual and family counseling, psychosocial education and case management
identify and reduce underlying risk factors while building on inherent strengths. El Nido’s program serves the
Pacoima/Foothill region of the northeast San Fernando Valley, one of 12 GRYD zones that have been prioritized
for prevention and intervention efforts, funded by the Office of the Mayor, City of Los Angeles.
OUTCOMES
•El Nido’s GRYD program maintained the full complement of cases prescribed by the GRYD model
(at least 200 at any one point in time)
•Of 285 mothers/fathers for whom parent education was recommended, 271 completed
the 11-week series
• Gang joining was prevented for 93% of youth, and 80% demonstrated reduction in the risk factors
that lead to gang joining and related problems
Compton Youth Development Program
The Compton Youth Development Program (CYDP) is for males and females between the ages of 8 and 19
at risk of delinquency, gang involvement, school failure, dropout and teen parenting. Counselors emphasize
personal goals, career achievement and reducing behavioral obstacles. Case managers link clients with
assistance programs for tutoring, job training, mental and health services. The program provides teens with
opportunities for civic involvement and community projects, partnering with foundations, corporations, other
non-profits and volunteers to offer a range of appealing, educational and skills-building programs. CYDP is
funded by the City of Compton.
Harold Cares About Your Future
This 13-week job prep program in South L.A. and the San Fernando Valley is funded by the Edelstein Family
Charitable Foundation. Classes instruct parents ages 15 to 21 on finance, taxes, careers, goals, resume writing,
job interviewing techniques, labor law and job retention, plus life skills including boosting self-esteem and
pregnancy prevention. After the program 73% used birth control to prevent repeat pregnancies vs. 58%
beforehand, and 82% had the skills and knowledge to obtain a job after the program vs. 44% before.

ABOUT OUR WORK, DATA & FACTS
• El Nido serves one of 12 identified zones where
rates of violent gang-related crimes are 400%
higher than elsewhere in Los Angeles

during 2010
Saul Figueroa and the Hub City Teens at one of their monthly Compton Creek cleanup events.
SUCCESS STORY
David was only 12 years old when he became a
parent. David’s biological father (in another country)
insisted that David’s mother and step-father give him
the chance to “straighten the boy out.” Shortly after
David arrived, however, he was ‘sold’ to a company,
where he worked for nearly five years, with no pay
and very little food, Finally, he made his escape,
returning home to look for his child and her mother.
David survived on the streets by shoplifting, but was
arrested and referred to El Nido by the Probation
Department. His Probation Officer suggested that it
would take a miracle to prevent David from spending
his life in prison, given his history and the path he was
on. At intake, caseworker Arthur met a homeless,
angry, young man who was understandably very
suspicious of “the system” and described himself as
a “complete failure in life.” Arthur earned David’s
trust by helping him with practical matters. Together,
they found David temporary housing and enrolled
him in independent study to continue his education.
In therapy, they addressed the painful issues of his
parents’ betrayal, and the emotional abuse and
deprivation he had suffered. David was determined
to reunite with his daughter and girlfriend, so his
treatment plan focused on that goal. It motivated
him to earn his GED, transition to independent living,
and land a legitimate job. With Arthur’s caring
and understanding, David began to recover his
confidence in himself and others. He made the
sometimes bumpy journey back to “normal life”, with
the additional help of life skills/anger management
and parent education classes. Couples counseling
prepared David to marry the mother of his child. All
his hard work has paid off; David says he has become
the father he always wanted.
“The working relationship
between El Nido and the
Los Angeles Police Department
has become a model for the
City of Los Angeles.”
