Message from Eduardo García Migoya, Chairman of the Board of Directors
Sadly, we are all familiar with the current situation of ongoing violence in
Mexico. Although it is the government s responsibility to prevent and combat
this violence, all of us - organizations and citizens alike - can and should
contribute to finding solutions. To do so, we must endeavor to understand the
root causes of the problem as well as all the issues that stem from it: where
does this violence come from? how is it affecting people? how can its effects
be healed? how can it be prevented?
Being part of JUCONI’s Board of Directors has enabled me to immerse
myself in these complex issues and to promote the Foundation’s conviction
that the starting point to generating successful strategies lies within conducting
quality research, piloting and evaluating solutions and openly sharing all we
know on the matter.
I have seen that by establishing alliances with other organizations,
nationally and internationally, and carrying out events that promote dialogue
and co-create new strategies, JUCONI has been able to extend its impact
beyond Puebla and contribute to the development and strengthening of other
institutions in many parts of Mexico and the world.
I am delighted to be able to share some of JUCONI’s work and
achievements with you in this report and after reading it, I am sure you will
agree with me that taking over as Chairman of JUCONI’s Board of Directors
in 2012 has been a great honor for me. It is also a great responsibility
and one which I have been able to undertake thanks to the support and
encouragement of my predecessor Luis Alberto Aziz and the dedication of
all Board Members; the vision and hard work of the JUCONI team; as well
as the involvement of the very many people whose invaluable donations are
the engine that drives JUCONI forward and that reinforces my commitment
not only to the population we serve directly, but also to the organizations with
which we work hand in hand to build a world without violence for the benefit
of us all.

Message from the Executive Director, Alison Lane
For JUCONI, “sharing” is more than just a word: it is central to the way in
which we carry out our work on a daily basis and is a key concept in determining
our vision and operational strategies. With sharing at our core, we have built
an experienced team of people who join forces with children and their families
to closely support them in their process of working to build a better future,
transmitting to them our profound belief that they can change their lives.
It is this belief in the power of sharing which prompts us to seek the dynamic
exchange with other institutions which we present in this report. Through our
training and consulting services we are able to share the approaches and tools that
have worked for us and to learn from their experiences, the challenges they face
and solutions they have found.
Sharing is also the vision which motivates us to carry out events such as
our Second International Conference (see page 21), and establish alliances with
other organizations in order to collaborate on the improvement of systems that
aim to protect children in Mexico and around the world. It is in the creation of
these learning and teaching spaces in which people from different sectors -civil
society organizations, government and academia - can develop solutions capable
of meeting the complex needs of the most marginalized children and families in
Mexico and elsewhere.
On behalf of the JUCONI team, I would once again like to thank all the
children and families who place their trust in us and are willing to share their lives
with us so that we can learn and improve together with them, as well as thank all
our supporters. Without your interest and the very many ways in which you share
with JUCONI - time, talent and donations- none of this would be possible.
I hope you enjoy learning more in this report about the advances we have
achieved throughout 2012 and that you find in them further motivation to continue
sharing with us! With the very best wishes of the JUCONI team,
Alison LaneExecutive Director

At JUCONI we are very clear about the impor-tance of having a systemic approach to our
work in order to successfully achieve our mission. That is why our work is divided into different areas, each with its own objectives which in turn complement those of the other areas to provide the best attention possible to the children and families that participate in our pro-grams. They also extend the reach of our methods and tools through other organizations so as to benefit yet more
people and contribute to the develop-ment of public policy for the defense of
children’s rights.
The complexity of our fieldwork requires us to continually search for approaches and solu-
tions that enable a better understanding of the difficulties faced by the population we serve. This
need for innovation has become the engine behind the creation of methodologies and materials which, after being
tested in the JUCONI Program, are shared with other organiza-tions through the CAT (for its Spanish acronym), our Technical Support Centre.
The validation of these products ensures the quality of the training and consulting services we provide, while at the same time making it possible for a greater number of children and families to be reintegrated into society.
The credibility forged by JUCONI over the years is the result of this process of continuous work and transparency in the management of its resources. It is what enables us to continue counting on the support of our donors and the creation of alliances with high-level international organizations to double our efforts in building a world without violence.

Serving children, families and others
Having a comprehensive treatment plan is the foundation to achieving permanent changes in the lives of children, youths and families affected by domestic violence.
JUCONI’s methodology is the result of years of learning, practice, evaluation and reflection obtained through the training and consultation we have received from various institutions with international prestige and from specialists in the handling of trauma, interpersonal relationships and therapeutic attention to victims of abuse. It is based on three main principles:
JUCONI Methodological principles:

Eco-systemic ApproachA family is a living nucleus and a complex system. No matter who the family members are everyone who participates in the family dynamics plays an important role in determin-ing the relationships and the level of functionality of each member. In order to create a healthy family environment that supports the development of the child, it is necessary to take into account the different points of view of each family member and consider the impact external partici-pants (teachers, friends, neighbors) may have on the family system and its members.

The Key to Change
Psychodynamic ApproachPeople affected by violence have trouble verbali-zing their feelings which is why they tend to resort to defensive and aggressive behaviors. In order to create a strategy of comprehensive therapeutic ca-re it is imperative to understand that each behavior is a way of communicating pain, anger, sadness or another unmanaged feeling, which has not been properly addressed.
Strengths-based ApproachWe work with children and their families by helping them to recognize what they do well already so that they can repeat it. This reinforces the individual’s self-esteem and provides them with the foundations they require to make changes when necessary.

Manuel was only 11 years old when he began going out on the streets. He lived in a small town in Tlaxcala, along with three elder sisters and four younger brothers. His father had died years before as a result of alcoholism. His mother had also died and shortly afterwards members of the extended family arrived at his home with police and lawyers to evict the family from their home, leaving them literally in the streets. With the support of Arturo, an already married brother, Elsa, the eldest 17 year-old sister found them a room and with the help of 15 year-old Ana, she did what she could to provide for her family.
Together they tried to bring up Manuel and his little brothers just like they had been brought up, often resorting to physical and verbal violen-ce. The situation in which they lived was chaotic and Manuel was a great challenge given that his behavior became more and more aggressive and unstable as time went on. There were many nights when he did not return home. When Ana heard in town that Manuel had been caught stealing in people’s houses she decided to seek help. It was then that the state program (SEDIF) provided them with JUCONI’s telephone number.
Manuel was very angry with this family so a decision was made with Elsa and Ana to invite him to live at Casa JUCONI to allow us to help him untangle his feelings while working with his family with the aim of bringing them together again later on.
Success Story
Mr. Ricardo Calderón
Leticia Rico
Before, I wouldn’t speak, but the educators taught me that it was
important, and now I can express my feelings and I feel that I can get
along better with my parents.
This is the story of Manuel and his family, who having lived many hardships, have managed to take great steps in the path towards a better future.

Our way of getting along has changed greatly… Now we
speak instead of shouting and we congratulate each other instead of criticizing. We each set out goals for ourselves and we support each
other to achieve them.” -Mrs. Esperanza Espinosa-
“It is wonderful to have witnessed the amazing strengths a family can have to overcome difficult situations
of loss and abandonment.”-Alejandra López-Family therapist
At Casa JUCONI, Manuel showed himself to be obsessed with the idea of reclaiming the family’s hou-se which had been taken from them. He drew up elaborate plans – often violent – to recover the house and he had a fierce sense of having been wronged and held a grudge towards his elder sisters for not having fought for the house. Slowly, after partici-pating in an individual therapeutic process, he understood that behind his desire to recover his house lay the illusion of recovering all he had lost, especially his mother.
One of the key moments in his re-covery process took place during a family session when he heard Arturo, Elsa and Ana speak about what the death of their parents had meant to them. They spoke about their im-mense pain and the sacrifices they had to make to take care of and keep their siblings together: Arturo lived in a single bedroom with his wife and children given that a significant part of his money went to supporting his siblings. Elsa had not married becau-se she could not leave them and Ana had dropped out of school to work in a factory. Listening to them, Manuel realized he was not alone in his pain, that they had all suffered and that his siblings were making a great effort to help him.
With the help of JUCONI’s team of educators, the family developed rituals to help them name and mana-ge their grief and they embarked on a process to recognize each other’s strengths and learn to relate better to one another. One of the activities they carried out was the creation of a
family shield in which they each drew a value and something they wished for their family. Elsa and Ana allo-cated a space in the shield for each of their siblings and invited them to fill it in. The activity showed the educators that the members of the family had developed the ability to take each other into account, which in turn developed their sense of iden-tity, inclusion and belonging.
During this time, Elsa and her boy-friend acquired a property near her family and built a room to live in. At Casa JUCONI, Manuel started a cour-se in bricklaying, and in 2012 Elsa and her boyfriend invited him to build a room for himself on their property so that they could live near each other. Everyone contributed to the pur-chase of building materials. Manuel spent weekends working along with Arturo and his brother-in-law on the construction.
It has been one year since Manuel went to live in the room he built. He works in a glassware shop, 8 hours a day, and with the money he earns he contributes to the family’s expenses. Not only does he maintain a good re-lationship with Elsa and the family, but also with the rest of his siblings, who live nearby. The family can now speak about difficult situations and the feelings and emotions they ge-nerate. Clear limits have been esta-blished and are respected. Manuel knows that he plays an important role in the family and that he must set a good example for his younger siblings by following the routines that have been established for their common good.

For over two decades, JUCONI has been fortunate enough to count on the con-sultancy and training of international experts in various therapeutic method-ologies, which added to the experience acquired through field work, has en-abled JUCONI to establish principles and develop practices that can be of use for other non-profit organizations and government programs serving chil-dren, youths and families affected by
domestic violence. Each year, we teach various Diploma Programs in different places throughout Mexico, among them: Puebla, Mexico City, Jalisco and Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
In the sessions, we explore the nature of violence and abuse, its causes and neuro-psycho-social consequences, as well as tools and techniques that participants can adapt to their context and needs.
• The importance of generating empathy with the popu-lation served: an in-depth understanding of the effects violence has had on their lives can result in a warmer and more favorable interaction.
• More effective interventions can be achieved by im-plementing strategies of positive discipline that promote empowerment and self-acceptance.
• Providing children and their families with spaces in which they can feel safe is vital to bring about their par-ticipation and to achieve good results.
• Validating children and families’ feelings and recogniz-ing their strengths promotes healthier self-esteem and helps them to keep going. This applies to both the popula-tion served as well as the workforce.
What are some of the learning experiences educators, therapists and members of organizations have taken with themselves?
Before I used to judge children and adults for certain behaviors which I thought were conscious. Now I no longer judge, I stop and take time to
enquire about and understand their life story to see in what way and in which areas I can intervene.”
-Diana Martínez, Educator-
“In my work, interactions are warmer and I have a better understanding of the difficulties”
-Osvaldo Juárez, Therapist-

improvement of the services offered to children, youths and families.

With the purpose of promoting the cre-ation of positive environments free from violence that further learning, JUCONI has developed a training program for pre-school and primary school teachers of public schools in the most marginalized areas of Puebla.
One of the fundamental principles in our program is that of Positive Discipline, a method with which we can teach stu-dents the boundaries and consequences of their actions through a firm yet friendly interaction that takes into consideration their opinions, suggestions and participa-
tion in order to help them develop a sense of self-control and responsibility.
Positive Discipline and conflict resolu-tion techniques not only make it possible to improve the class environment, they have also improved relationships at home when shared with parents.
What benefits have teachers and parents perceived during and after this program?
JUCONI has helped us realize that when there
are discipline issues in the classroom, it is the act which must be frowned upon, not the
individual.”
-Paty Fernández, Teacher-
“I take with me a great sense of relief and satisfaction. This has allowed me to become a better person. I do not get as angry as before when I used to explode and my son was the one who was mistreated. Now I try to be different.”
-Mrs. Reina Vázquez, Mother-
• A closer and more personal relation-ship between parents and teachers with much more trust and communication among them.
• Improved communication between teachers and their students by: validat-ing feelings and emphasizing the impor-tance of speaking about these, and by taking such feelings into account during class time while implementing positive discipline.
• A greater participation by parents in school activities.
• Greater empathy from teachers to-wards the children’s parents by under-standing the situation in which they live and the impact this has on the children’s behavior.
• A better understanding of the needs and development path of the children on the part of the teachers.
• The development of tools to manage conflict and difficult cases in the class-room.
• Positive environments in the classroom that result in better learning conditions.

Our commitment to non-violence has led us to extend our consulting and training programs beyond Mexico. Today, we provide support to organizations in kenya and Tanzania where, although social and cultural conditions may be different, the challenges are ultimately the same.
Second Conference on Childhood, Family and Public Policy
This conference was organized in collaboration with the academic staff of the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Autonomous University of Puebla. Over 50 people participated, including re-presentatives from the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), the Ministry of Public Security (SSP), the State Population Council, the Municipal Institute for Youth and the State and the Municipal Family Development Systems.
In this conference, the Red por los Derechos de la Infancia en México or REDIM (Network for the Rights of Children in Mexico) presented the book “Childhood counts”, a significant compilation of data and analysis regarding the state of children in Mexico, which is the foundation for the development of policies for the protection of children.
Through such events, we promote the defense of children’s rights and we share the principles of
our methodology with other organizations.

Information is the engine that encourages change. Convinced that this is so, we organized the Second International JUCONI Conference, conceived as a space to further the understan-ding of the root causes and the consequences of domestic violence, and to explore practices and solutions that prevent and cure the damage it causes.
The event brought together more than 50 in-ternational experts in a wide range of areas such as neuroscience, therapy, trauma, attachment and organizational change. There were around 400 participants from 11 different countries and representatives of organizations that work to be-nefit excluded children and families.
During the three days of the Conference, the-re were keynote speeches and workshops that allowed participants to get to know different tools and techniques to build positive and las-ting relationships as an essential way to prevent domestic violence.
Thanks to the enthusiasm and interest of the speakers, participants, staff, volunteers and sponsors the conference was an enriching lear-ning experience for all… And we promise to re-peat this in 2014!
Providing a space for learning and reflection
The key themes of the conference are: the
neuroscience of violence and trauma, prevention of violence
and trauma; working at an individual level, group level and with families, as well as
community approaches.
