Minimally educated and compensated, often bringing to their work a high degree of trauma themselves, they are critical in preventing and mitigating childhood trauma and promoting socio-emotional skills that support healthy non-violent behavior as well as school success. Over several years of "action advocacy" to improve childcare, it is apparent that these critical "early observers" of babies and young children could be engaged and empowered as partners in prevention as well, influencing socioemotional as well as cognitive development, and in mitigating the impact of trauma. Voices' Early Care and Education Training Initiative, providing high quality free professional development to childcare educators, has grown since 2012 in numbers reached--in the thousands, estimated to impact ten children each--in scope. Training is now livestreamed, focused on issues that have emerged or worsened with Covid including domestic violence, child abuse, asthma, hunger, as well as healing strategies and safety guidelines for childcare. A new initiative within this program aims to increase identification of and support for struggling parents before a child is harmed, with other "early observers", pediatricians and staff, increasing knowledge of community resources. The Early Care and Education Training Initiative is possible because of remarkable collaboration of over fifty organizations and partners. Pre-pandemic, in-person events served over 700 unduplicated childcare providers and directors from 2013 through January 2020, approximately 10 free all-day events each year. Since April 2020 when the format changed to live streaming, Voices has documented/verified attendance of over 5,500 individuals (not duplicated) through May 1, 2021 at seventeen training/professional development events, with a broader reach in terms of professional disciplines and geography. Attendees, after completing a post-event survey, are awarded professional development hours required for childcare professionals or CEU's for counseling or social work. 21935 Congress on Children: This program is normally offered every year on the last Friday in September as a community service. With community sponsors, registration is $20 per attendee for an all-day event including meals, materials and CEU's as needed, ensuring that this event is accessible to a broad and diverse audience. Congress on Children brings together over 400 local children's advocates, practitioners, researchers, and the general public to hightlight current or emerging issues, research, findings, legislation, and programs, promoting practices that strengthen families and support children's wellbeing. Nationally known and exceptional speakers every year focus on the most pressing community issues that Voices and our many partners will be working on in the coming months and years.During 2021, due to the high infection rate of the Cornavirus, the program was rescheduled to February 26, 2022 and the grants received will be applied to the February date. 41477 35000 Reach Out Stay Strong Essentials (ROSES): The Organization initiated this new program in 2021 to assist new mothers in overcoming the effects of postpartum depression. Authorities estimate the postpartum depression affects 10% to 20% of new mothers nationally. This new program is an evidenced-based support and education program shown to decrease postpartum depression in new mothers by half. The Organization received a contract with the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District to train staff from several organizations that serve pregnant women and coordinate the implementation of program. 16247 South Texas Trauma Informed Care Consortium (STTICC): Voices is a leader in STTICC which is one of the three components including the Institute of Trauma-Informated Care/University Health System, and Ecumencial Center/ certifying body, committed to a trauma-informed Bexar County. Begun in May 2018, STTICC is led by three organizations - City of San Antonio/MetroHealth; The Children's Shelter; and Voices for Children. Its structure is comprised of twelve community sector work groups, a Steering Committee composed of the co-chairs of each sector work group and the consortium tri-chairs, and with the other two components of the County's trauma initiative, a Governance Council. There are approximately 600 members, currently, of the consortium, representing over 300 organizations, Addressing the trauma of this pandemic and its consequences will be a job in the months and years ahead. 16247 155298 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 X X Kathleen A Fletcher PresidentCEO 2108588175 3014 Rivas St 119 San Antonio TX 78228 Gregory Hudspeth Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Angela Clark Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Betty Berchelmann Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 George Block Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ricardo Cedillo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adrian Grant Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Hancock Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tyreo Harrison Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robin Howard Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Francisco Martinez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Priti Laxmi Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mandie Svatek Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Wilson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Cardenas Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathleen A Fletcher President/CEO 40.00 X 86379 0 0 86379 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 164908 150353 315261 Reach Out Stay Strong 611710 35000 35000 35000 1207 594 613 613 350874 35000 0 613 86379 47508 30233 8638 94531 64420 22688 7423 5571 3825 1317 429 14897 9251 4335 1311 9155 9155 7000 7000 12742 5724 5997 1021 7877 7877 10392 8312 1559 521 21 21 1206 1206 Program direct expenses 16258 16258 266029 155298 91388 19343 5719 7211 18567 34879 27050 7654 7829 13373 33607 17542 1000 15000 48000 14942 80542 15942 X -241188 -24355 174019 42020 -67169 17665 13373 33607 X 84845 -11 X 0 0 0 X 154879 330903 346520 174879 315261 1322442 154879 330903 346520 174879 315261 1322442 442837 879605 1322442 406581 0.66510 0.63930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 34879 27050 7829 7829 Form 990, Part III, line 2 The Organization added one new program during 2021: Reach Out Stay Strong Essentials (ROSES) - This new program is designed to assist new mothers in the awareness of postpartum depression, prior to their delivery dates.
