IndexMessage from the Executive Director, Alison Lane

Motivated by our hope for a world without

violence, in 2011 we continued in JUCONI to

develop our capacity to attend effectively to the

most excluded families. On pages 4 and 5 we briefly

explain the theories of attachment and trauma that

are the basis of our work with children and their

families, and we explain why we insist on involving

younger children, as well as their parents, in the

therapeutic processes. We have also been trying,

at national and international level, to get decision-

makers to appreciate the importance of investing in

these excluded families as a fundamental strategy to

strengthen society and reduce the risk and the level

of social violence.

For JUCONI this has been a year full of exciting

experiences and much learning. We are grateful to

all the people, companies, institutions and trusts that

have made all this possible. Thank you so much!

Message from Luis Alberto Aziz, Chairman of the Board of DirectorsWe are very grateful to each and every one of our donors for their crucial participation in the achievements of JUCONI in 2011. Their donations allowed the JUCONI Programme and the CAT (Technical Support Centre), the two main pillars of JUCONI, to achieve their objectives in support of the children and families affected by domestic violence that we work with.

2011 was a truly special year in the life of JUCONI, due largely to the positive response of friends who generously decided to join our fund-raising campaign, participating not only as continuing donors, but also as ambassadors for violence-free families.

This was the last of my three years as Chairman of the Board of Directors. I will take with me some wonderful experiences, and I wish to thank all the other Directors and the extraordinary JUCONI team. I will continue to participate in the work of the Board as I have for the past 13 years. It is my pleasure to present Eduardo García Migoya as the next Chairman of the Board, starting in 2012. He is a very talented and committed person and will surely take JUCONI to new heights.

Over the last 20 years, different organizations have identified two fundamental factors in helping this group of children and families, concluding that to be able to escape from these vicious circles the following is required:

• Sustained therapeutic support:To heal from the experience of violence, and to experience and learn other types of behaviour and relationship.

• Family-based work:Support services are taken into the home and work is carried out with the children and parents, breaking cycles of violence for everyone, creating an environment that favours the maintenance of changes achieved with the children involved.

Characteristics of these vicious circles:

a) Intergenerational violence: Living through experiences of physical, emotional or sexual violence generates in people behaviours that make it difficult to establish positive relationships and lead to negative life outcomes (poverty, addictions, etc.), and behaviours that increase the probability of violence in their future families.

b) Exclusion: The behaviours of these individuals make it difficult for them to participate in community activities such as school and work, and also in support programmes.

c) Negative life outcomes: The same behaviours that resulted from the violent environment in which they grew up and that make social interaction difficult for them, become obstacles

to their social participation, leading to low levels of education, badly paid jobs, precarious nutrition and health, and – most important – inability to maintain harmonious relationships.

Working with families

Elements necessary for transformation

Explaining The JUCONI Program And CATThe JUCONI Programme and the CAT (Technical Support

Centre) are the two main pillars of JUCONI, through which we seek to fulfil our mission of developing, applying and sharing effective solutions for excluded children, young people and families affected by violence in the home.

These two pillars are complementary to each other. In the Programme we work directly with children and families to break the cycle of violence and heal the consequences, while in the CAT we research the most recent theoretical

advances in the area, ensuring that the therapeutic interventions of the JUCONI Programme are as effective as possible, and then sharing them with other organizations.

Through 22 years of work, we have proven that the social reintegration of children who have lived in violent conditions and exclusion is not only possible but can also be permanent, by coordinating the efforts of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, teachers, neighbours and employers.

JUCONI’s evaluation system With continuous monitoring and a participative evaluation system, JUCONI keeps a close control of results, using different evaluation tools:

– Most of them internationally standardized

– With an ample range of indicators that provide evidence that situations have really changed and that reflect sustained advances; we are very aware that when a child enters the JUCONI Programme a whole family must graduate.

ADESPI (Ambientes de Desarrollo Emocional y Social para la Primera Infancia – Environments for Emotional and Social Development for Early Childhood)

We know that early childhood experiences are fundamental in laying the foundations for learning and behaviour throughout life. Through free play and reflection sessions, the ADESPI programme aims to help mothers and fathers of children from 0 to 6 years of age to learn how to identify their needs and initiatives, and to receive and respond to them in an efficient and warm manner.

Family Functioning ScaleThis is a very useful tool to understand how the members of a family relate

to one another other in terms of communication, management of authority, resources and role fulfilment, as well as the impact of these factors on the way the family functions.

Using this scale, therapists can obtain qualitative information to develop plans for intervention that will promote the integral growth of each of the family members and the strengthening of the home as a protective environment.

VIG (Video Interaction Guidance)Families with problems want to change, and it is that desire that must push them to overcome their failings. VIG uses video of family interaction to help them find the motivation to advance as family members learn to celebrate the small, significant steps they take.

A Success StoryThe Castillo Family

We met the Castillo Meneses family in September 2007 because of their problems with Genaro, who, at the age of 12, was spending most of his time in the street with his older brother and a gang, with which he consumed alcohol and drugs, going back to school only when his mother imposed her authority through physical and verbal violence.

Genaro entered Casa JUCONI and, in addition, the family started to receive weekly visits from our therapeutic team. Slowly, we began to see changes: Genaro started to learn the importance of participating in housework, complying with school responsibilities, handling his emotions and establishing trusting relationships.

Today, with great satisfaction, we can testify that, thanks to their efforts and persistence, the members of this family have reached important achievements: there is now a positive relationship among them, with firm and clear limits, a cooperative atmosphere in relation to housework, with routines that provide structure and security for all, and general organization that allows greater privacy and order.

“In JUCONI I have learned that things are not resolved with blows, that problems can be solved by talking. We have also spent more time together

without fighting.”

-Jimena Sánchez-

“I thought I was going to make my son see sense with blows, shouting and scolding, but now I understand

there are other ways. It really is possible to live

without violence!”

- Sr. Juan Carlos Castro -

“But for JUCONI, I’d never have believed I could improve my situation. I

found the courage to leave my partner, who caused me so much harm, and made

the effort to find a better job.”

-Claudia Flores-

“One thing we’ve learned is that we must begin to focus more on the good things we do, not just on the negative things, and we must remember the happy moments, not just the

difficult ones.”

-Sra. Dulce Torres-

“JUCONI helped me get a scholarship which enabled me to finish primary school

and go on to secondary school. I am very proud

because, with the help of the educators and my fa-mily, I’ve managed to over-come the challenges I’ve

faced at school.” -Rodrigo Flores -

Main EventsAmong the events we organized

in 2011 to promote the generation of better public policies and programmes to care for children and families were:

• Forum “Childhood and Violence in the Home: Considerations for public policies”. Organized jointly with the academic group “Discrimination, Violence and Culture of Peace” (Discriminación, Violencia y Cultura de Paz) of the Autonomous University of Puebla.

• Presentation of the book “Children Count in Mexico, 2010” (La Infancia Cuenta en México) published by REDIM (Network for Children’s Rights in Mexico) Organized jointly with REDIM, RIA (Network for Children

Our commitment to non-violence has lead us to extend the impact of JUCONI metrology beyond the borders of Mexico. Among the goals achieved in 2011, we can include the work visits to Argentina, Guatemala and East African Countries, where we provided consultancy and technical support to different organizations for the strategic planning and the start-up of pilot programs to provide attention to children and families

Union is Strength2011 was a year of alliances of

Organizations dedicated to providing attention to children and young people affected by violence in different parts

of the world, including Mexico, formed the coalition “Safe Families, Safe Children”, with the purpose of sharing therapeutic and educational practices.

A product of this alliance was the publication of the pamphlet “Breaking the Cycle of Violence”, which presents the bases of a therapeutic method developed in the Tavistock Clinic aimed at strengthening emotional tools in children and parents. It was presented in high-profile events in cities such as London and São Paulo.

KeniaRailway Children/Undugu SocietyNjia Panda Ya

Tumaini (NPYT)/ Adeilisha

Sharing And Learning Togetherprogramme designed for the personnel of organizations that provide attention to excluded children, young people and families affected by violence. The content of the course is based on the experience of successful practices in the handling of this type of population in different countries and contexts.

The Impact of our work growsIn the Diploma in 2011, we had:

• 190 participants from 72 organizations from Puebla, Chiapas, Guadalajara and other parts of the country

• 86 graduates

• 82 students continuing successfully with the course

SchoolsThrough our programme “Creating

safe environments in schools”, we share with parents and teachers methodology and strategies for the emotional deve-lopment of children and the prevention of violence and abuse, thus promoting the creation of safer environments and strengthening school protection policies.

Between August 2011 and June 2012 the following participated:

• 2,038 students

• 68 teachers and school administrators

• 1,739 parents

Receiving regular contributions from many people makes our operation more sustainable than depending upon just a few donations from organizations and trusts. Thanks to the enormous effort of 15 team leaders and 195 promoters, and the support of the media, in the 2011 Fundraising Campaign we funded 1,400 more scholarships to guarantee the future of JUCONI.

With this superb result, together with the funds received from national

trusts and companies, we managed to raise the resources generated in Mexico to 70% of the annual budget. This gives us more stability and allows us to attract more resources from foreign people and organizations that like to invest in projects with a solid local support base.

Thanks to you and all our donors, we can continue to provide high quality services to children and families, and training for other organizations in order to benefit even more people.
