EMMA'S HOUSE COORDINATES WITH MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND PROSECUTORS TO STREAMLINE THE INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS AND REDUCE TRAUMA BY OFFERING SPECIALIZED CARE IN TRAUMA TREATMENT. IN ADDITION, EMMA'S HOUSE PROVIDES OUTREACH AND PREVENTION EDUCATION TO PROMOTE AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF TRAUMA ON CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY.WE SERVE ALL OF RAVALLI COUNTY AND HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, RAVALLI COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND ALL OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTY. WE ALSO DO COURTESY INTERVIEWS FOR OTHER STATES AND COUNTIES. THERE ARE 750 CACS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE. EMMA'S HOUSE IS ONE OF SIX CACS IN MONTANA AND IS THE ONLY ONE IN MONTANA THAT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A HOSPITAL OR ANY OTHER AGENCY.TO UNDERSTAND WHAT A CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER (CAC) IS, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT CHILDREN FACE WITHOUT ONE. WITHOUT A CAC, THE CHILD MAY END UP HAVING TO TELL THE WORST STORY OF HIS OR HER LIFE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TO DOCTORS, COPS, LAWYERS, THERAPISTS, INVESTIGATORS, JUDGES, AND OTHERS. THEY MAY HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE IN A POLICE STATION WHERE THEY THINK THEY MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE, OR MAY BE ASKED THE WRONG QUESTIONS BY A WELL-MEANING TEACHER OR OTHER ADULT THAT COULD HURT THE CASE AGAINST THE ABUSER.WHEN POLICE OR CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES BELIEVE A CHILD IS BEING ABUSED, THE CHILD IS BROUGHT TO THE CAC--A SAFE, CHILD-FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT--BY A CAREGIVER OR OTHER "SAFE" ADULT. AT THE CAC, THE CHILD TELLS THEIR STORY ONCE TO A TRAINED INTERVIEWER WHO KNOWS THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO ASK IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT NOT RETRAUMATIZE THE CHILD. THEN, A TEAM THAT INCLUDES MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH, PROSECUTION, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, VICTIM ADVOCACY, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS MAKE DECISIONS TOGETHER ABOUT HOW TO HELP THE CHILD BASED ON THE INTERVIEW. CACS OFFER THERAPY AND MEDICAL EXAMS, PLUS COURTROOM PREPARATION, VICTIM ADVOCACY, CASE MANAGEMENT, AND OTHER SERVICES. THIS IS CALLED THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM (MDT) RESPONSE AND IS A CORE PART OF THE WORK OF CACS.SPECIFIC SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO FORENSIC INTERVIEWS, MEDICAL EXAMS SPECIFIC TO CHILD ABUSE ALLEGATIONS, CRISIS INTERVENTION AND COUNSELING FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, VICTIM ADVOCACY IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, ASSISTANCE IN FILING CLAIMS WITH THE MONTANA CRIME VICTIMS COMPENSATION PROGRAM, COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION, AND REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND SOCIAL SERVICE. 326309 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 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 1 2 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 4063637216 PO BOX 2034 HAMILTON MT 59840 VALERIE WIDMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 92669 0 10617 ALEXIS HOLLAND PRESIDENT 1.90 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTIAN PRUITT VICE PRESIDENT 0.50 X X 0 0 0 KELLY MCKEE SECRETARY 0.77 X X 0 0 0 DREW HULS TREASURER 0.77 X X 0 0 0 ANGELA DONDERO DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 KELLY HANLEY DIRECTOR 1.90 X 0 0 0 NEELTJE VAN DOREMALEN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 NICOLETT WESTON DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 92669 0 10617 0 0 0 0 0 185723 56295 92319 328 334337 2381 2381 58301 185723 80806 -22505 -22505 314213 0 0 -20124 92669 83402 1853 7414 164610 148149 3293 13168 45704 36106 3199 6399 24638 24638 13720 13720 11137 8797 779 1561 14803 14803 7589 5996 531 1062 27118 18983 8135 5883 5883 SPECIAL EVENTS 17225 17225 BANK FEES 6211 6211 SUPPLIES 6155 6155 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 5304 4190 371 743 2327 2327 445093 326309 71212 47572 305889 204818 25599 25702 56743 26743 13677 23975 5211 5193 551143 147186 424125 403957 153884 165710 985128 856098 34860 34086 2500 153809 149386 191169 183472 X 378156 621908 415803 50718 793959 672626 985128 856098 -130880 9547 0 X 0 0 0 X 194733 201443 313928 470015 334665 1514784 194733 201443 313928 470015 334665 1514784 138065 1376719 1984 310 207 1457 2381 6339 3730 743 522 4995 1526118 28407 0.90210 0.91170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 26054 9666 35720 37761 -11707 26054 31715 50 6046 50 37761 23129 1375 50 24454 18240 4939 50 23129 1.00000 0 0 125903 125903 373176 103766 269410 52064 43420 8644 403957 PART V, LINE 4: DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTED TO CREATE THE EMMA'S HOUSE ENDOWMENT FUND IN WHICH ALL FUNDS ARE TO BE HELD IN PERPETUITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMS.
