EMPE CHRONICLES Stories and news about how Kempe is leading the fight against child abuse and neglect, and how your support is making all the difference in these young lives. A publication of the Spring 2010 OUR PASSION FOR HELPING KIDS starts at the top. Dear Friends, Sometimes the needle moves forward slowly, but it is moving nonetheless! I am very happy to share some great news with you. We now know that child maltreatment rates in the U.S. dropped significantly from the early 1990’s to 2006 according to the U.S. Department of Human Services as it released the 4th National Incidence Study (NIS-4) on child abuse and neglect. And yet, this remarkable report was released quietly on the Internet without much fanfare. This is a shame as mitigating child abuse truly saves lives and saves money. You already know this as you have been investing in Kempe for that very reason. Now you know your support for child abuse has truly paid off… This report means the quality of life has improved for hundreds of thousands of children, hopefully leading to better life outcomes (e.g. lower school dropout rates) for them. This leverages into a very meaningful economic benefit to society as well. It also means that evidence-based prevention and awareness programs do work over the long term. Sometimes we have to be very patient to see the good results. The public is now more aware of child maltreatment, is more proactive, and less tolerant. Your voice, actions, and concern have positively impacted the way children are treated. You, the frontline sentinels: teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers, parents, police, and community leaders, are an important component and are to be congratulated for your significant role in reducing child abuse rates. Although we are pleased that some progress has been made, we can’t afford to be complacent. We have a long way to go and your continued focus, voice and investment is critical. Economic distress and poverty contribute to the risk of child abuse and the full effects of the current economic downturn are not yet known. The NIS-4 study was completed at the peak of the business cycle in 2006. Since then, the economy has shed millions of jobs. Colorado state and county budgets are eroding in areas that may affect child abuse rates – e.g. fewer public safety officials, child welfare domestic violence programs, after school programs. Official child maltreatment statistics can lag up to two years. We know the progress made may not hold. We must do our best to prevent a backward slide from the painstaking gains that have been made. 1) Our vision is to end child abuse and neglect in this country. Realistic? Maybe not. However, we need to set the bar high as, even with the drop in abuse, there were still over 1.25 million children who were maltreated in 2006 per the report. This strains the entire child protection system, from the courts to case loads to foster care homes.

Most people would agree investing in children is a core value in this country. Yet, our children’s share of the federal budget has declined by over 20% since 1960! Children are simply not a national investment priority based on this measure. We feel they should be and we know that you do, too. abused children! We need your partnership and help more than ever. Please continue on this journey with us in our vision to end child abuse and neglect… 3) We must find ways to grow our economy while shoring up resources for those in need. The simple fact is that rates of abuse and neglect are 2-3 times higher in homes with unemployed parents. Given this difficult economic period, we suspect child maltreatment is increasing. We need to continue to invest in social safety net services for children and families who really need them. Best Regards, Thank you for your support, care, and advocacy. Congratulations for truly making a difference in the lives of I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Kempe events, or volunteering in our preschool, or just stopping by our new building for a tour and to say “hi.” Jesse Wolff CEO and President The Kempe Foundation P.S. In case you were wondering, child abuse and neglect dropped 26% over the 13 year period of the study. The study is available on the Child Abuse Facts page of kempe.org. The mission of The Kempe Foundation is to increase awareness, engage in advocacy and secure and provide resources for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month In 1983, increasing awareness of the need to ensure the safety and welfare of children led to a presidential proclamation declaring April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. Through the years, The Kempe Foundation has been a leader in local efforts to rally the public as we strive to end child abuse. This year, Kempe will partner with several corporations and media outlets to get our message of hope and compassion into the community. participate in a text-giving campaign to help Kempe raise funds.

Miami and the “Haiti 80” By Michele Kelly, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist, Child Protection Team Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine Photos courtesy of Haiti 80 With the January 12 devastating earthquake in Haiti, the call went out for mental health professionals who could volunteer their time to help transport Haitian orphans to their adoptive parents waiting in the U.S. One of Kempe’s newest Board members, Beth Klein, literally worked around the clock to secure a charter flight for the orphans to be safely transported to the U.S. She kept volunteers updated with the constantly changing crisis. In crisis work, people are trained to be ready to leave at a moments notice. This bit of wisdom proved to be true as I found myself making last minute travel arrangements. The Child Protection Team’s administrative assistant, Linda Jensen, quickly packed a bag with crayons, paper, markers and stickers for the children; The Kempe Foundation generously covered my expenses and provided their unwavering support. In Miami, our spontaneous crisis “team” met for the first time at the Miami International Airport. The team included Renee Branson-Yung, a therapist and crisis worker from Colorado; Allison Stone, a vibrant young attorney from Miami; Ben Escobar, a seasoned international aid worker; and me. We arrived with a true sense of gratitude for the opportunity to help the children and their newly adoptive parents. The 81 Haitian children, dubbed the “Haiti 80” by the media, all came from a well-respected orphanage, God’s Littlest Angel (GLA). Due to owner Dixie Bickel’s exceptional organization, she had the ability to take the children’s paperwork to the embassy to have them processed to leave the country. The adoptive parents were from throughout the U.S. Many had been to Haiti several times as they had waited up to two-and-a-half-years for their children. Our team met with the couples to answer questions, provide information and discuss any concerns they might have. We had ample time to get to know each other as we waited 24 hours for the children. The flights were difficult and delayed. Once in Miami, one agent had to process 81 children through customs. Arriving at 1 a.m. they finally entered the country eight hours later. Exhausted, hungry and close to dehydration, many children looked stunned while others were ill. One child was rushed to a local hospital for emergency brain surgery for a life threatening infection. All wanted to be held and fed. The adult volunteers worked quickly, feeding and diapering children. The older children began to play and sing. The parents had to wait a little longer with more paperwork. One by one, the children were united with their new parents. True excitement and joy permeated the room with sounds of laughter and tears. Some families adopted siblings; many were first time parents while others had their older biological children with them. The parents were incredibly loving, devoted and patient. One little boy who had his adoptive father and uncle waiting for him was known to be frightened of having men hold him. After spending time soothing and cradling the little boy with his new father, maintaining constant eye contact with him, we were able to transition the child to his patient, expectant father. The parents understand their children may need to regress to an earlier stage of development in order to recapture missed developmental milestones. They know their child may have a tendency to want to eat more than they may physically need. They know that even before the earthquake, their child lived in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. For these children, their parents’ will and determination has already made a difference in their young lives. A month after being with their adoptive parents, two siblings, 4- and 2-years-old, living in Colorado are already thriving. Their biological, single, 40-yearold mother in Haiti gave up all of her 5 children because she could not feed them. The 4-year-old has gained 3 pounds in 4 weeks. The 2-year-old is learning English with ease. Both children dislike the cold and snow. Yet, they are happy to be loved and nurtured. They are very affectionate, enjoy playing and calling out “mama” and “papa,” knowing their new parents will respond. These families come from communities where they feel supported. In the future, if they need additional support and guidance, The Kempe Center will be there with its dedicated staff and wealth of expertise. Kempe will provide the most professional and compassionate care available for all children and their families. Michele’s Channel 7 interview is available on the Kempe in the News page at kempe.org.

The new Learning Center will utilize broadband technology, digitalized imagery, interactive video-conferencing, simultaneous multi-screen viewing, and other elements to deliver training, analyze research, and provide consultation services throughout Adams County and to Colorado’s rural locations. Kempe installed state-of-the-art components in six conference, training, therapy and interview rooms ranging in size and purpose to accommodate from 2 to 50 people. The purpose of the Center is to increase the dissemination of research and best practices through trainings, conferencing, and consulting. Interactive real-time technologies will allow forensic interviews to be conducted and recorded with less trauma to victims as multiple agencies’ staff will be able to observe and participate in sessions without being physically present. Individual therapies for children will improve as the training of future psychologists and psychiatrists will be enhanced by mentor monitoring and input directly into the sessions. Kempe’s pioneering efforts in the modeling of multidisciplinary teamwork of actual case consultations will be more effective with expanded off-site video capabilities. Medical records including digitalized diagnostic images will be authoritatively analyzed and discussed in order to start treatments and help children heal more quickly. The Learning Center will enable Kempe’s experts to reach practitioners who might otherwise be unable to best serve their communities. Teams will be able to meet with participants from various agencies throughout the state and nation. Children and families who need to testify will benefit from a one-time multidisciplinary interview, rather than the trauma of going to several locations and having to relive their experiences to meet different agencies’ requirements. Additionally, Kempe will now have the opportunity to increase the number of its training programs. Past videoconferencing allowed the expertise of Kempe’s staff to reach participants off-site, but due to problems with scheduling the use of other institutions’ broadcast services, not all requests could be accommodated. National conferences may now be broadcast in Kempe’s conference rooms with active participation by local attendees who will 4 • w w w. k e m p e . o r g The new Center at Kempe offers a variety of equipment for presentations, trainings and video-conferences. be able to dialogue with other world renowned professionals. Examples of highly specialized courses offered are: • • • • • • • Medical Aspects of Child Maltreatment Developmental Consequences of Child Maltreatment Interdisciplinary Case Conflict Management Treatment Planning for Abused Children Interdisciplinary Case Conflict Management Maternal Substance Abuse Medically Fragile and Developmentally Delayed Foster Children • Transitioning Foster Care Youth to Permanency • Sexual Health for Foster Care Children and Adolescents Adams County submitted the grant application on behalf of Kempe. Funding for the technology came from: State of Colorado-Department of Local Affairs Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program $385,565, Adams County $25,000, Weld County $25,000, Logan County $5,000, Jefferson County $15,000, Mesa County $25,000, and Prowers County $5,000. Dr. Sirotnak Named President of Children’s Hospital Medical Staff a privilege and an honor to serve the faculty and community medical staff. During the Annual Meeting of The Children’s Hospital Medical Staff in January, Dr. Andrew Sirotnak officially took over as the 68th President of the 1420-member medical staff for the 2010-2012 term. Dr. Sirotnak will serve as President of the Medical Board and Chairman of Dr. Andrew Sirotnak its Executive Committee, preside at general meetings, appoint committee members, and serve as spokesperson with the Chief Medical Officer for the Medical Staff in its external professional and public relations. Dr. Sirotnak was elected by the board’s nominating committee to this leadership position. He considers this both Dr. Sirotnak currently serves as the Interim Executive Director of The Kempe Center and has been the Director of the Kempe Child Protection Team since 1996. Additionally, he is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and is the Director of the Child Abuse and Neglect Fellowship Program. He lectures extensively about child abuse and neglect to a wide range of audiences. He has maintained a very active faculty pediatric career as a clinician and teacher. His current clinical work and clinical research focuses on child maltreatment. Dr. Sirotnak has been qualified as an expert witness in pediatrics and child abuse by civil, criminal, and federal courts in the Rocky Mountain region. Trauma’s Newest Program Expert By Monica M. Fitzgerald, Ph.D. I recently moved to Colorado from Charleston, SC where I worked at the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center coordinating a statewide initiative to bring evidence supported mental health treatment services to abused and traumatized children and their families. Evidence Supported Treatments (EST) are “treatments that work” for a particular problem or population, or treatment or intervention protocols that have the best scientific, empirical research evidence for their efficacy and effectiveness. Fortunately, in the past two decades, several ESTs have been identified as highly effective at reducing trauma-related symptoms in youth and their families. However, throughout the U.S., few traumatized children and their families receive these types of treatments, primarily due to lack of effective training and implementation efforts (Chadwick Center, 2004). I first became keenly aware of the prevalence and impact of child abuse, and the large gap between science and practice when I worked with young emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children in child psychiatric hospital settings nearly 13 years ago after completing college. My fellow milieu staff and I developed strong, trusting relationships with the children, most of whom had suffered from severe and complex trauma exposure. During our eight hour intensive shifts, we had prime opportunities to teach and reinforce children’s coping skills and implement intervention strategies. While I am sure we played a key role in children’s recovery, we often felt frustrated by the lack of progress made in the complex trauma cases and were unsure of the best treatment directions, given that we lacked formal training in trauma-informed ESTs. When I left residential treatment, I aimed to one day help empower professionals serving children and families affected by trauma and make a larger impact on training and dissemination of effective trauma focused treatments. In my position at Kempe, I am excited about the opportunity to build collaborative partnerships in the community to raise awareness of child trauma, ESTs, and increase access to quality services for traumatized children in Colorado. In the past six months, we have developed a year-long clinical externship training program for university predoctoral students. The students represent the future of our field and they deserve to receive the best possible training in implementing ESTs Monica for trauma-exposed Fitzgerald, Ph.D. children and families. We are tracking child/family outcomes as a result of treatment and researching ways to most effectively “transport” evidence supported treatments into the field. This evaluation component is crucial for maintaining quality work and increasing community capacity to deliver high quality trauma informed services to children in Colorado. I was attracted to working at Kempe given its strong reputation as a center of excellence and our collaborative is one of 60 U.S. active member sites in National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). I was also thrilled to return to the West where I grew up. Monica M. Fitzgerald, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor at The University of Colorado-Denver in the Department of Pediatrics in the School of Medicine. She serves as Director of Training and Evaluation in the Child Trauma Program at The Kempe Center. w w w. k e m p e . o r g • 5 Social Media Sites We want to connect with you.

Program Director Receives Steele Award During 25th Annual NAPN Conference By Kempe Foundation Staff Gail Ryan, Director of the Perpetration Prevention Program at the Kempe Center, received the Brandt F. Gail Ryan Steele, M.D. Award during the 25th Annual National Adolescent Perpetration Network’s (NAPN) Conference held recently in Denver. The Steele Award honors Dr. Steele’s lifelong intellectual curiosity and interest in early childhood development. When presenting the award to Gail, Don Bross, JD, PhD, The Kempe Center Director, Education and Legal Counsel, said, “Brandt’s work is carried on by you as others will carry on your work. One important characteristic that Brandt respected very much is found in people not just working with the theory of care giving, but practicing care giving and modeling care giving for every person possible.” In addition to her work at Kempe, Ryan is also an Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine. For more than 25 years, The Kempe Perpetration Prevention Program has been developing and sharing information with professionals around the country. The Program’s training teaches practical and specific prevention and intervention strategies to reduce the risk of abusive behaviors in children and adolescents. The National Adolescent Perpetration Network (NAPN) is a cooperative network of multidisciplinary professionals working with sexually abusive youth in the US and abroad. 6 • w w w. k e m p e . o r g Founded by Gail in 1983, the primary goal is to facilitate services for adolescents who are at risk of becoming the next generation of sexual offenders. Membership has grown to more than 1,000 members and represents over 800 adolescent and 300 preadolescent treatment programs. The Network is a diverse group of professionals and paraprofessionals from many disciplines and a spectrum of systems that work together to help prevent future perpetration. In 2005, the 20th NAPN Conference in Denver celebrated the network’s ‘coming of age,’ celebrated the pioneers of the field, and rolled out juvenile models for treatment of sexually abusive youth which were very different from the modified adult programs the field started during the 1980’s. Good news abounded in discoveries from research that informed a more comprehensive holistic understanding of the functioning of youth. With current intervening economic stresses, it becomes increasingly important to maximize the effective use of scarce resources and to advocate for successful strategies in our communities. “Balancing the Terrain,” the 25th Annual NAPN Conference in Denver February 20-22, brought together diverse, multidisciplinary professionals, who deal with sexually abusive youth in a variety of roles and settings, to explore the implications of research and clinical experience specifically relevant to juveniles. By addressing factors that decrease the risks of sexual deviance and abusive dynamics while increasing the opportunity for healthy relationships and successful outcomes, treatment is likely to achieve results far beyond the initial goals of containment and risk management.

Major gifts and grants ($25,000 and above) received from July 1 to December 31, 2009 designated for the general operations and programs of The Kempe Foundation and The Kempe Center include: • The Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation has awarded its second consecutive grant to Kempe’s Therapeutic Preschool. Funds directly address the Buell Foundation’s priorities to support the healthy development and education of young children. • The Patricia Crown Family’s multiyear commitment to Kempe’s Child Protection Team is designated to support the staff and operations necessary to provide assessments and treatment to physically or sexually abused or neglected children. • The Daniels Fund ongoing support of Kempe’s Fostering Healthy Futures (FHF) program helps reduce adolescent risk behaviors and promote positive outcomes among girls and boys ages 9-11 who have been maltreated and placed in foster care. FHF meets the Daniels Fund’s priorities of youth development, education, and disadvantaged populations. • The Lea for Justice Foundation and Ludlow-Griffith Foundation’s unrestricted grants will be used to serve children and their families/ caregivers, develop pediatric law, and promote public awareness in our vision to end child abuse and neglect. • The State of Colorado’s Tony Grampsas Youth Services Program is in its second year of helping to fund Kempe’s Fostering Healthy Futures program. • The State of Colorado’s Department of Public Safety/Victims of Crime Act Assistance Fund/American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has granted Kempe’s Child Trauma and Under Sixes Programs funds to provide mental health treatment and judicial support for child victims of crime and their nonoffending caregivers.
