Report
I would like to thank everyone involved in
Pace in 2012. We had a good year thanks
to the efforts of staff, volunteers and
funders. While funding is always a concern
in the not for profit sector, we are relatively
stable and thus are able to focus on what
we do best; helping people in our region.
This past year Pace received an
Inspiration Award from the Minister of
Human Services. The award was for
Leadership in Family Violence Prevention.
This was indeed an honor and something
for Pace to be proud of. Another highlight
of the past year was the opening of the
Caribou Center. This project was started
earlier and after a lot of hard work by
everyone involved it is now up and running
and doing fabulous work. We received a
letter from the mother of a client and she
was wowed by the service her child
received from the Caribou Center, so hats
off to Jamie and everyone else involved in
running the center. It is great to have a
resource of this caliber in our region and it
will help children for years to come. As we
move forward, no matter what happens
and no matter what challenges we face,
we can be proud that we are making a
difference in people’s lives in our
community. As always, I am extremely
proud as well to be associated with such a
great organization and especially the
people who make it that way. Let’s have a
great 2013.
Again, Thank You.
Delbert Lubeck
• In 2012 Pace provided: therapy to 346 individuals,
family support and youth work to 236 children and
179 parents, coordinated crisis intervention, critical
response services and support services following
traumatic events to 429 individuals, group support
to 79 individuals, and training to 2916 students and
community caregivers.
•
Every year as I compile these numbers I am amazed
at the number of people supported through our
services. There is an apparent trend in the cases we
see today. The cases we see today are more
complex and involve more violence. It seems that
highly sexualized behavior which would have been
considered unusual 10 to 15 years ago is now
common and needs to be cautiously and thoroughly
assessed based on the child’s access to the internet
and other age inappropriate material. While the
internet is also an additional forum for offenders to
access victims, the number of offenders known to
the child through direct relationships is still much
greater than that through the internet.
•
We have accomplished many things in 2012
including accreditation. I need to thank all who
participated in this process. Although the process
added much stress, I believe it helped firm up the
viability and the consistency of our services.
• The demand for our services continues to remain
high as communities in our region respond to the
prevalence of sexual abuse. Research is finally
confirming our long time awareness that child
sexual abuse and trauma needs to be addressed to
prevent addiction, suicide, further violence in
relationships, and emotional and physical health
concerns. Trauma informed practice is the new
term for the work we have understood and
practiced for 30 years.
•
Pace’s ability to provide this level of support and
therapy is only possible because of fabulous
volunteers and staff; community support and the
support of funders; the years of experience of
frontline staff; and our ability to invite bright new
social workers and psychologists to practice with us.
I thank everyone involved in our organization for
your openness, commitment, and abilities. You have
allowed us to grow and provide to our clients more
and more services.
Sincerely
Jacquie Aitken Kish

SAFE
VISITATION
PROGRAMS
MONITORED EXCHANGE
PROGRAM
The number of monitored
exchanges this last year; have
increased. We have had 10
families use this program; those
families have 9 children between
them. This last year from January
1, 2012 to December 31, 2012
we have monitored 171
exchanges.
CARING DADS
During 2012 we ran our first
Caring Dads group. This group is
17 weeks in length; we had 6
men complete the group.
Between these fathers they have
access to 17 children, from the
ages of 15 months to 15 years of
age.
This fall we also had a new staff
member join our Safe Visitation
and Monitored Exchange
program. Bernice Shadow,
Bernice will be covering Friday
evening for the monitored
Exchange program and Saturday
and Sunday in our Safe Visitation
program.
Regards,
Marlene, Safe Visitation
Coordinator
THE SAFE VISITATION
PROGRAM
January 1, 2012 to
December 31, 2012
The Safe Visitation Program
continues to receive referrals
from our community. The
majority of our referrals have
come from the Justice System
(courts).
The program scheduled 408
visits. Of these 408 visits the
families cancelled a total of
115 visits. Most of the
cancellations are noted as
work related, and others were
due to the children being ill.
This year we accommodated
290 visits, some were an hour
and a half in length and
others were two hours in
length. We also had a few
that were court ordered to be
three hours in length.
The total client hours for
these visits are 873 hours.
