A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 4 2

Dear Friends,

This annual report is for you because it’s your support that makes CAPstone’s programs possible. They are all because caring people like you decided to make a di�ference in the life of a child. Thank you for volunteering your time, for dedicating your financial resources, and providing in-kind donations. Because of you, we are making a di�ference in the lives of child victims and their families. We are so thankful to have your by our sides in the fight against child abuse.

In 2014 CAPstone served 382 children in Western Nebraska. These are children who had come to us with allegations of sexual abuse, physical abuse, severe neglect, drug endangered, and witnesses to violence (including domestic violence). CAPstone provides a safe and welcoming environment for children who have been abused. CAPstone’s main o�fice is located in Gering and we have three satellite o�fices located in Chadron, Alliance and Sidney. We provide forensic interviews, hair follicle testing for drug exposed children, advocacy for child victims and their families, and make referrals for medical exams and counseling for child victims and their families. CAPstone’s Multidisciplinary Team Coordinator facilitates eleven multi-disciplinary teams (MDT) across the panhandle of Nebraska. In 2014 CAPstone along with MDT members reviewed 1,549 child abuse cases in investigative team meetings, treatment team meetings, and non-court case reviews.

In 2014 CAPstone was able to hire a full time Family Advocate to expand our advocacy services to include advocacy in our satellite o�fices. With the addition of the new Advocate, CAPstone was able to add a court school curriculum, which helps child victims prepare for the stress of court. We also doubled our number of non-o�fending caregivers receiving advocacy. CAPstone expanded our training services by getting two sta�f qualified to train the Child Abuse and Neglect-Reporting and Responding curriculum. CAPstone provided eighteen trainings on child abuse/neglect to 110 MDT members and 528 professionals in the community. CAPstone is continually striving to expand and improve our services to child abuse victims and their families. We look forward to working with you to continue to serve the child abuse victims in our community.
