The Honorable Royce West, J.D. *Board of Directors serve on Advisory Board A Special Thanks to TexProtects Interns: Leslie Andringa Anna Nagasako Charis Wacker 2 Letter from the Founder and CEO Dear Supporters, Friends, and Advocates, Thanks to your support, we have had another spectacular year at TexProtects. This 2015 Annual Report details those successes in our fight to end child abuse and neglect, but here is a snapshot: The focal point of the year was the 84th Texas Legislative Session. Expanding and bringing prevention programs to scale was TexProtects’ top priority, and we were successful. Working with our allies in the Home Visiting Consortium and the Child Protection Roundtable, we again increased state funding for the Nurse-Family Partnership, persuading legislators to improve the investment from the $17.8 million of the previous biennium to $23.2 million for fiscal years 2016-2017 to serve another 2,500 Texas families. Madeline McClure CEO and Founder We also achieved renewal of $8 million for the Texas Home Visiting Program (in addition to supporting the reauthorization of the federal home visiting program known as MIECHV, renewing $36 million), $3.2 million to provide home visiting services to military families, $2.8 million for abusive head trauma and safe sleep initiatives, and supported the expansion of project HOPES, Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support (HOPES, at $39 million. All of these up-front investments in prevention will save Texas taxpayers hundreds of millions more in back end costs of substance abuse treatment, mental health problems, unemployment and incarceration, for example. We also fought for and won a targeted pay increase for Child Protective Services (CPS) caseworkers living in highcost, high-turnover regions of the state and secured funding for additional caseworkers to reduce CPS caseloads per worker. We also passed legislation enabling “pay for success contracts,” improved child fatality data reporting to inform current protection practices, and made significant changes to the Department of Family and Protective Services Sunset Bill. At session’s conclusion, we traveled the state to educate partners, stakeholders and the public on the panoply of new legislation and successfully placed four op-ed pieces in dozens of Texas’ largest newspapers. Finally, after two years of hard work, the Legislature’s Protect Our Kids Commission – of which I was privileged to serve as Prevention Chair – issued its final recommendations to lawmakers in December. The research of TexProtects figured prominently in the commission’s report, which I am confident will result in informed, impactful legislation in 2017. Our fundraiser at the Dallas Arboretum brought in a record-setting $473,000! Your generosity allows us to educate hundreds of decision makers on our critical data mining and research that ultimately results in policies and programs that make Texas families stronger and children safer. We continue to believe that the best solution to CPS problems is to prevent child maltreatment upfront. We’ll continue the fight for cost-effective investment in child abuse prevention until every Texas child is safe. Thank you for all of your support and partnership. Sincerely, Madeline McClure Founder and Chief Executive Officer 3 Table of Contents What We Do ……………………………………………………………………………………………5 Why it Matters…………………………………………………………………………………………6 Financial Costs of Child Abuse …………………………………………………………………8 84th Legislative Session Highlights …………………………………………………………..9 Public Policy & Advocacy Highlights ………………………………………………………10 Research Highlights ……………………………………………………………………………….11 Outreach and Education Highlights ……………………………………………………….12 TexProtects in the News ……………………………………………………………………….13 TexProtects Celebrates 11 Years………………………………………………………….…14 2015 Financial Summary………………………………………………………………..………15 With Our Deepest Appreciation……………………………………..……………………..16 4 What We Do 5 _ _ Why It Matters In 2015, according to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services1 there were over… 274,000 Alleged Child Abuse Victims 66,000 Confirmed Victims 17,000 Children in Foster Care or Substitute Care and 171 Child Abuse & Neglect Related Deaths In relation to other states, Texas ranks as follows: Texas 2015 Child Well-Being National Rankings2 * #1 Best and #50 Worst 1 2 Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

According to the Center for Disease Control, Texas will spend more than $14 billion over the lifetime of 2014 victims. With over 60,000 Texas children abused annually, Texas is spending an estimated $14 Billion per year on the consequences of child abuse. However, according to The Perryman Group, the total expenditures in Texas for 2014 totaled more than $454.8 Billion. Whether $14 Billion or $454 Billion per year, child maltreatment costs all Texas citizens and taxpayers in a myriad of ways, not the least of which is the costs of innocent lives lost. 5 Fang, X., Brown, D.S., Florence, C.S., & Mercy, J.A.

Each legislative session, TexProtects builds capacity and facilitates a number of collaborations that advocate for millions of dollars to improve the quality and expansion of critical Child Protective Services. Secured $23.2 million in funding for Nurse-Family Partnership, which TexProtects first brought to Texas in 2005. Supported the renewal of $8 million in State funding for the Texas Home Visiting Program, established by TexProtects’ Home Visiting Accountability Act of 2013. Assisted in securing $3.2 million to provide home visitation services to military families. Secured $2.8 million for abusive head trauma (often caused by Shaken Baby Syndrome) prevention programs and DFPS’s safe sleep initiative to be implemented in hospitals statewide. Assisted in securing $39 million to fund 24 projects in Texas communities as a part of Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support Project (HOPES), a TexProtects legislative priority in 2013; family support Home Visiting is at the core of Project HOPES. Supported pay increases for frontline Child Protective Services caseworkers living in high-cost, high-turnover areas and funds to increase total staff and reduce caseloads per worker. Initiated legislation which enabled the creation of “Pay for Success” contracts, an innovative funding mechanism using public-private partnerships to bring promising programs to scale – a strategy that could have benefits for evidence-based child abuse prevention programs (House Bill #3014). Supported legislation to improve the collection and reporting of key data regarding child abuse fatalities to inform targeted prevention interventions (Senate Bill #949). Fought for significant changes to the Department of Family and Protective Services Sunset Bill, Senate Bill 206 – the legislation included provisions to elevate the importance of prevention and improve pay and training of caseworkers. TexProtects also helped preserve statutes requiring a bachelor’s degree for caseworkers, a 72hour maximum response time for investigation reports, timely documentation and high training standards, among others. 9 Our Work: Public Policy and Advocacy Highlights TexProtects creates systemic changes through public policy advances in the CPS system and leverages private funds to secure public funds to expand cost-effective and evidence-based prevention programs to high risk families with young children. We lead a collaboration of advocates and experts who develop a consensus on public policy agenda each session. TexProtects focuses on advocacy at the federal, state and local levels and strengthens community members’ participation in the legislative process through our membership development and education. As of December 2015, TexProtects had more than 9,000 child advocates statewide, an increase of over 1,000 members from 2014, and we continue to build our membership base. We keep our advocates informed through emails and advocacy alerts that educate them about important research and bring attention to issues or legislation affecting the protection of children. Our advocacy alerts over the last year helped us mobilize hundreds of members to attend two advocacy days cohosted by TexProtects: Child Protection Day and Home Visiting/Nurse-Family Partnership Day at the Capitol. In February, TexProtects participated in the Home Visiting/Nurse-Family Partnership Day at the Capitol as part of its effort to expand family support programs. Advocates and home visiting providers met with legislative members and their staffs to advocate for the expansion of home visiting. TexProtects advocated and helped to extend the federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program funding for another two years. MIECHV funds prevention services for thousands of Texas children annually. Thanks also to Texas Congressman Joe Barton for his invaluable leadership on this issue. Our Coalitions TexProtects leads collaborations of advocates and experts who develop consensus public policy agendas each session. We work primarily through the following collaborations: Child Protection Round Table: The CPRT was created by TexProtects to bring together advocates and experts in the field of child protection in order to develop a consensus public policy agenda and to advocate for child protection with one voice. The CPRT will reach this consensus through subgroups and full member discussion and vote prior to and during each legislative session. The goal of the CPRT is to generate consensus public policy items and to promote and assist in the implementation of legislation. Texas Home Visiting Consortium: The mission of the Consortium is to bring together Texas home visiting programs to increase awareness of home visiting in Texas and to coordinate legislative efforts. Public Policy Committee: TexProtects’ Public Policy Committee is the heart of where the organization launches its ideas and formulates its concepts on the broad-scale systemic change needed to improve the Texas child protection and judicial systems as well as ways to bring evidence-based child abuse prevention programs to scale statewide. 10 Our Work: Research Highlights Our in-depth, comprehensive research on the Child Protective Services System, risk factors for child maltreatment and adverse outcomes for abused children guides our organization’s legislative agenda each session through best practice and policy recommendations. $3.4 Million Grant for HOPES in Dallas In 2013, TexProtects supported the creation of the Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support (HOPES) program by the Texas Legislature. In December 2015, The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services awarded a $3.4 million grant to United Way of Metropolitan Dallas to implement HOPES in Dallas! TexProtects is proud that the United Way will be implementing TexProtects' prevention ecosystem design. TexProtects’ risk assessment research was used to inform DFPS in their selection of targeted communities for HOPES. ZipRisk Mapping for Child Maltreatment TexProtects, in partnership with Plano-based Alliance Data and its Epsilon business and the University of Texas at Dallas School of Engineering and Computer Sciences UT Design program – are working on a groundbreaking, interactive data tool that will help advocates and policy-makers across Texas identify the highest-risk areas in the fight to prevent and end child abuse. The new tool is the first to provide a ZIP code-level view of these high-need areas, enabling state and local organizations to more effectively target their resources and outreach. Home Visiting 2.0 Released TexProtects published the second version of Home Visiting in Texas. This comprehensive report provides a landscape of where home visiting services are located in Texas and capacity of programs, how programs are funded and the promising outcomes achieved. Child Protective Services Salary Projections TexProtects conducted an in-depth study on the high turnover at Child Protective Services (CPS), directly correlated with low pay. High turnover impacts the safety and wellbeing of children and continues to be the most prevalent problem troubling CPS. This study takes many variables into account, including cost of living allowances, turnover, and average comparable public service employee salaries. The study makes recommendations on what to pay caseworkers in some of the most difficult-to-staff areas. 11 Our Work: Outreach and Education Highlights TexProtects has over 9,000 advocates statewide that we educate on child abuse and neglect prevention, the consequences of maltreatment and how to advocate on behalf of victims. We keep our advocates informed through critical research, advocacy and information e-alerts to highlight emerging research and bring attention to top issues on legislation impacting the protection of children. Also, we provide presentations, webinars, and other education opportunities to our members. Legislative Debriefings After completion of the 84th Legislative session, TexProtects organized a series of legislative debriefings for stakeholders around the state, partnering with the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, Any Baby Can in Austin, and The Children’s Shelter in San Antonio. We reported on our legislative successes in securing and increasing funding for Nurse-Family Partnership, the Texas Home Visiting Program and Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support (HOPES) and other programs, as well as pay increases for CPS caseworkers, legislation enabling “Pay for Success” contracts, and significant changes to the Department of Family and Protective Services Sunset Bill. At each debriefing, we supplied data most relevant to the city to which we were presenting. 12 TexProtects in the News TexProtects worked with the state’s newspapers repeatedly in 2015 to highlight issues important to the safety of children. Op-eds penned by CEO Madeline McClure included: Headline from the Corpus Christi Caller-Times Texas must do more to retain CPS caseworkers March | published in San Antonio Express-News, Corpus Christi Caller-Times, AmericansEndingAbuse.org, Houston Chronicle, Austin American-Statesman, Fort Worth StarTelegram, Taylor Press Low pay, high stress, and excessive caseloads produce a too-high turnover rate.
