ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011
Successful children | Healthy families | Strong communities
Message from the President & CEO
Welcome
Parents And Children Together
served over 15,000 individuals in the
past year. Our agency has successfully helped men, women, and children of all ages through its numerous
programs. PACT programs build financial literacy; increase employment
success; help parents become better
at parenting; promote child development; promote family peace, and provide shelter to those in need of a
peaceful, non-violent sanctuary. Since
we started working with families at
Kuhio Park Terrace in Kalihi in 1968,
PACT has grown to a statewide multiservice family agency with 15 programs. In spite of our growth, we
2
have never wavered from our commitment to helping families help
themselves in removing social and
economic barriers to their success.
Imagine: 15,000 individuals - your
friends and neighbors are - now on
the path to making their goals happen and dreams come true. The secret to our success? PACT adapts
responsively to meet the changing
needs of Hawaii’s communities. Every
family’s needs are different, and so
are their situations. PACT meets individuals’ needs through effective programs. It is our sole mission to help
our families live safe, healthy and
happy lives—across the state.
PACT provides services in the areas of:
Early Childhood Education
Domestic Violence Prevention and Treatment
Early Head Start and Head Start Programs,
federally-funded initiatives, provide early childhood
education and related comprehensive services
for low-income parents and children with special
needs.
Family Peace Centers promote family peace by
teaching non-violent skills to assure victim safety, offender accountability, and to break family cycles of
violence.
Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention and Treatment
Enhanced Hana Like works to prevent abuse or
re-abuse of children by strengthening families “atrisk.” Families are referred to the program from Child
Welfare Services or Voluntary Case Management
programs. Home Visitors work closely with parents
of children birth to three years old to address risk
factors, promote optimal child development, provide
parenting education, emotional support, and links to
resources.
Ulupono Family Strengthening Program works
to prevent child abuse and neglect by strengthening families “at-risk.” Family Support Specialists on
Maui and Oahu work with parents/caregivers of children ages birth to 17 years old to provide parenting
education, promote child health, development, and
safety, offer emotional support, and link families to
resources in their community.
Mikiala Early Screening Program is a collaborative effort to provide early developmental screening
to 3 and 4 year olds living within the Farrington High
School Complex. Screenings include hearing, speech
and physical development.
Hoohui Visitation Centers in Waipahu and Waianae provide supervised visits between parents
who are actively involved with Child Welfare Services (CWS).
Lanai Integrated Support Services is a comprehensive program for child abuse and neglect prevention and intervention through foster care and
permanency placement support.
Family Visitation Centers provide a safe and neutral setting for children to visit with their non-custodial
parents, or to transition from one parent to the other.
Ohia Domestic Violence Shelter offers a safe
and confidential facility for women and their children
who can no longer remain in their homes because of
danger from domestic violence.
The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Lehua Transition
House offers transitional housing for up to 1 year
to women without children who have left domestic
violence and are in job training, schooling, or are returning to work.
Mental Health Support
Intensive Support Services Program assists families whose children have serious emotional, social,
and behavioral challenges
Community Building and Economic Development
Family Centers provide an array of family skill building and child abuse and neglect prevention services
within the Kuhio Park Terrace/Kuhio Homes and
Kaneohe communities.
Economic Development Center is designed to
strengthen an individual’s ability to secure and keep
employment or to start and maintain a small business.
Community Teen Centers are comprehensive youth
service centers for youth ages 7-18 who live in and
around Honolulu’s largest public housing complex,
Kuhio Park Terrace and Kuhio Homes, Dole Middle
School and in Puuwai Momi, a low-income housing
project in Halawa.

FAMILY CENTERS
H
ow does one measure something that didn’t happen? And how do you know it didn’t happen because of something you did?
Even trickier is the notion of working with
communities to prevent a wide-range of unhealthy
practices while promoting healthy alternatives.
What makes for a healthy community and how do
Family Centers help?
The concept of prevention can be elusive.
“Healthy communities recognize both their strengths
and weaknesses and organize to use their strengths
to address those weaknesses,” says Christina Simmons, program director. Each community is unique
and requires an individualized approach. Whether
it’s a response to data, reports, or specific incidents,
residents need a forum that will encourage open
communication and the sharing of stories, appealing to the heart rather than the mind. Adults bring
a “fund of knowledge” to the table, which is rarely
tapped, but which holds rich opportunities to
strengthen family and community. To be most effective, community building requires a sponsor to
coordinate and organize efforts. PACT’s Family
Centers have taken on that role with the Chuukese
community in KPT, and the Castle Complex Schools
in Kaneohe.
Stemming from the work of the Parent Information
Resource Center project (PIRC) implemented
through the Family Centers, data was examined
that showed a little over 50% of Micronesian students graduate from high school and less than 2%
graduate from college. With this information, and
with the help of Micronesian staff and volunteers,
Family Centers sought to identify families with chil-
4
dren who were successful in school and to ask the
question: What specifically did these families do differently from their peers that supported their children’s success in school? Through dialogue with
the families, a list of key areas was developed and
classes were formed to offer information and
strategies that foster academic success. These sessions were presented by Chuukese families and
staff through churches, and became known as the
Sundays Project. The project provided a forum for
information and discussion of questions such as:
How do you show love to your kids? What do you
see for your kids’ future? What do you do as parents
to support those aspirations? What are our roles
and responsibilities here in this country?
As a result, many of the children whose families
participated in the sessions changed from being
truant to having excellent attendance in school. Almost every parent placed their children in after
school enrichment programs to help them improve
academic skills and learn citizenship. Some families
began regular trips to the library, and some parents
secured jobs and enrolled in PACT’s Community
Technology Center’s classes.
Improvement in attendance and grades, as shown
through attendance reports and report cards, clearly
demonstrate the project’s impact. Furthermore, the
parents who participated became more confident
in seeking help. One of the moms whose son was
having attendance and failure problems found the
courage to ask for a meeting with his teachers and
also an interpreter to make sure her comments
were understood. Mom would not have had the
confidence to ask for a meeting and an interpreter
had she not participated in the Sundays Project.
Building Healty Communities
Because of the positive results of this project, the
Department of Education has embraced the
methodology and will be funding a similar undertaking in the Waianae area.
In Kaneohe the Castle Medical Center and the Castle High School administration were concerned
about the teen pregnancy rate of students attending Castle. They brought together school personnel, parents, other community members and
organizations in an effort to combine resources and
focus on this issue. The success of this communitybased model to address a local concern led to the
creation of the Community Works in 96744 Coalition (CWC). PACT’s Kaneohe Community Family
Center was a founding member of this coalition,
and obtained a grant to fund its operation. The Ice
epidemic was the next issue addressed by the
coalition followed by its current priority - the prevention of underage drinking.
In addition, the Castle Complex Schools adopted a
character education program comprised of a set of
values, which if embraced by the community, would
lead to a healthier environment for all. Called the
5Rs, the values include: Respect, Responsibility,
Resourcefulness, Relationships and Resiliency. Realizing that the power of these positive social values lies in day-to-day personal interactions, the
CWC, through the support of the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation, formed a group to spread the 5Rs
throughout the community - in families, businesses,
the faith community, sports and fraternal organizations. Data shows that referrals for students with
behavioral issues have dropped and truancy rates
are declining since the adoption of the 5Rs value
system. The project confers annual awards for
those students that exemplify the 5R’s. “Most students receiving these awards are not your typical A
students and many have not received any previous
awards. This award recognizes them as being top
citizens of their school,” maintains Cynthia Okazaki,
Site Coordinator of the Kaneohe Community Family Center.
Graffiti was another issue identified by the coalition.
Since the existence of the Malama Graffiti
program, the amount of graffiti has dramatically decreased and when graffiti is spotted, it is quickly
covered up by community volunteers.
Family Centers’ community building efforts clearly
show the power of the people. When communities
are organized and confident, they become strong
partners in creating the kind of community that
holds the most promise for their families.

LEHUA
“S
ince the opening of the Ohia Domestic Violence Shelter in 2005, staff noticed that single women were having a difficult time
finding housing. Clients staying in a domestic violence shelter and their children can stay up to
90 days to get back on their feet and start their new
lives free from violence. Women with children are
given priority in securing a residence, and without
suitable housing, single women were returning to
their batterers.” These remarks were made by Marci
Lopes, program director, while explaining the origin
of the the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Lehua Transition House.
To respond to this concern, PACT purchased a private home and converted it into a transitional house.
This action was accomplished through tireless efforts to secure the partners needed to fund the purchase and prepare the home for residents. PACT is
very grateful to the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation,
the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and
State GIA funding, for providing the needed funds.
The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Lehua Transition
House, as it is called, is a large, beautifully renovated eight-bedroom, six-bath home in a residential area. Chaminade Interior Design students
decorated the rooms, giving each room its own personal touch. Forty-five photovoltaic panels reduce
6
substantially the cost of electricity. PACT provides
rental assistance that covers the cost of the rooms
and cleaning supplies, but the cost of food is the
responsibility of the residents.
Lehua clients are women who have resided in a domestic violence shelter, but need additional time to
become independent and continue their healing. At
Lehua, residents can stay up to one year in contrast
to three months at Ohia, allowing them further time
to become settled and find appropriate accommodations. Women who live in the home have to be either working or attending school, they must not be
in contact with their abuser, and they must be willing to live in a communal situation. They also need
to be comfortable being on their own.
Operations of the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Lehua
Transition House is funded through VAWA (Violence
Against Women ACT), and their guidelines are
meant to offer residents an opportunity to live independently while in a safe group environment. Jenn
McQuay is PACT’s Transitional Housing Specialist.
She checks in with the women daily, helps them find
housing, and delivers case management, if needed.
A master’s level intern performs individual counseling and conducts groups. ZONTA International, an
organization that advances the status of women
worldwide, adopted both the Ohia Shelter and the
Helping Women Move Toward Violence-Free Lives
Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Lehua Transition House,
and has been providing new residents with backpacks full of toiletries, calendars and basic necessities to make the clients feel welcomed. The ZONTA
membership, which is comprised of local businesswomen, mentor the women, meeting with them and
offering activities at their request, such as preparing
resumes, assisting with scholarship applications,
sewing, quilting, gym workouts and so on.
Lehua can currently accept five unrelated adults and
will be able to accommodate eight residents after a
Conditional Use Permit is secured. The first client
arrived in April, just after its opening. She’s now
been at Lehua for six months, has two jobs, is applying to colleges on the mainland, and also applying for scholarships. The second client is a woman
who lost custody of her two children and is now employed and working on reestablishing her relationship with them. The third client now has a job and is
exploring starting her own business. The fourth
client recently moved in and is highly motivated to
get on with her life. She already has two jobs.
The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Lehua Transition
House provides the extra time and attention needed
by many women to establish themselves in safe, secure situations. PACT is very fortunate to be able to
provide this important service to the community.

MIKIALA

Helping Children to be Ready for School
F
unded through Aloha United way and its
collaboration with: Amway, AlohaCare,
HMSA, Seto Foundation, Alexander & Baldwin, Samual N. and Mary Castle Foundation,
Kosasa Family Fund and the Omidyar Ohana Fund.
Mikiala (which means prompt, early, present) is a
three-year project designed to help three and four
year old children in the Farrington High School Complex area prepare for school by offering free developmental, hearing and vision screening. Children are
screened through preschools, medical clinics, homeless shelters, low-income housing complexes, selfreferral, and WIC offices, which have provided office
space in which to conduct the screens.
During its first year, the project exceeded its goal of
screening 500 children. twenty-six percent were
found to have at least one developmental issue, mainly
hearing problems often caused by colds, ear infections, or excess wax. Children with issues are referred
to their private doctors for follow-up. If children appear
to have developmental concerns that require further
testing, Mikiala will refer the family to Early Intervention Services or to the Department of Education.
As Program Supervisor Sabrina Tran states, “When
the screenings show that children are developing
typically, parents are grateful for the information.
When a concern is identified, parents appreciate
that it may be promptly addressed so their child will
not be at a disadvantage in kindergarten.”
Parent education is also provided. Mikiala furnishes
parents with a booklet about the development of
three-and-four year olds that includes home activities, which help improve the skills needed for
kindergarten. Free parent workshops provided by
PATCH are also offered, covering topics such as
child health, child development and school readiness.
PACT is pleased to have this opportunity to assist
families in making sure their children are healthy
and ready for school.

ULUPONO
T
he Hawaiian word ulupono means to grow
well, to thrive, and that is exactly what the
Ulupono program does. It helps hundreds of
families avoid the Child Welfare Services
(CWS) system and keeps their children safe and
nurtured. Funded by the Department of Human
Services (DHS) and contracted to PACT since October 18, 2011, Ulupono works with families that
have been reported to CWS, but have a low level of
risk that does not warrant an investigation. Ulupono
staff are not investigators, but do look at what is occurring in the family, performing a Child Safety Assessment during their first visit that is reported back
to CWS. If doubts emerge about the safety of the
child, CWS is consulted.
Ulupono has proven very successful, exceeding
many of its contracted goals. In its first eight and a
half months of operation under PACT, Ulupono
served 139% of the families it was contracted to
serve (1,000 for a full year of operation.) Furthermore, only 2% of families were returned to CWS for
safety issues in contrast with the 5% figure proposed in the contract.
10
porary Restraining Orders). When one parent applies for a TRO against another, there is often animosity between them and they do not communicate
well. Staff, called Family Support Specialists (FSS),
help the parents learn effective co-parenting
through better communication and by instilling an
awareness of the importance of putting the child’s
well-being first, rather than the difficulties with each
other. Many women who file TROs feel isolated and
are unaware that there are support services available to help them break the cycle of violence. Staff
emphasize the negative effects of domestic violence on children and inform them about what resources are available for the entire family. The use
of “counseling” services is de-stigmatized and normalized making it easier for clients to try them.
Many have taken advantage of these services and
report high satisfaction with their counselors. Since
the Ulupono program is short-term, usually up to six
months, many referrals are made to outside resources that can continue working with the family
on a long-term basis.
“Its success can be attributed to the staff’s heartfelt
desire to help the family make the changes needed
to promote the children’s safety and well-being and
to avert further involvement in the CWS system,” reflects Julie Falicki, program director. The staff approach the family with warmth and support, but also
review and discuss the allegations from the CWS
report and the possible negative consequences of
continuing problematic parenting practices.
Hotline referrals come from many sources, such
as neighbors, schools, and concerned family or
friends. In one situation, neighbors reported a child
who was screaming constantly. The Ulupono Family Support Specialist discovered that unbeknown
to the mom, the three-year-old child had developmental delays and could not speak as well as could
be expected at her age. The child is currently undergoing testing and thanks to the program, will
receive the help she needs to maximize her development.
About half of the referrals to the program come
from the CWS Hotline and half from TROs (Tem-
PACT provides family strenghtening services through
Ulupono on Oahu and Maui.
PACT’s Family Stengthening Program – The Eyes & Ears of CWS
The program uses the Nurturing Parenting curriculum to help parents understand appropriate expectations for their children, increase their empathy for
their children, and use alternatives to harsh punishment. This curriculum uses a pre-post test that is
shared with the clients so they can see their
progress over time.
Staff worked with a dad who had full custody of his
two young daughters but who knew very little about
how to care for them. He was referred because his
five-year-old had a bruise; he had hit her with a
hanger. It turned out that the dad didn’t know how
else to discipline his children or even what to feed
them, giving them Spaghetti-Os every day. As a result of Ulupono’s education and support, this dad is
now a much more capable and appropriate father.
Often clients need help in transitioning from one situation to another. In one instance, a woman living in
the Waianae area was about to be evicted and had
to find a residence that accepted and met the requirements for Section 8 housing assistance. She
lacked the confidence to look for a new place to
live and was afraid to move. The Family Support
Specialist and the client made a plan, the FSS
printed out housing leads for her and helped her
call the Section 8 worker to explain the situation.
The FSS helped her follow through and she now
lives in another area in a home that she feels is
safer for her children.
How is the program being received in the community? According to the Department of Human Services, PACT, in particular Tina Porras-Jones, Program
Supervisor, did an outstanding job of bringing this
program up to speed, promptly contacting clients
and transferring them into PACT’s program. Tina
and her team worked closely with DHS during this
process, and as a result, built a strong, effective
working relationship with the Department. DHS relies on the PACT Ulupono program, and has confidence in the services being delivered with its
emphasis on outreach and non-intrusive support
that is delivered with courtesy and without stigma.
Clients seem to feel the same way according to the
feedback they provide to DHS. In addition, Judge
Kuriyama, who presides over TROs, invited the
Oahu Program Supervisor to be part of an ongoing
focus group that deals with Family Court, including
TROs and paternity. Ulupono is strengthening families, as well as strengthening their communities.
