Our school-based prevention programming reached 13,106 students, which represents 24% of the 55,000 youths enrolled at schools within ccn's catchment area. The organization's prevention efforts are no small feat for a prevention team consisting of 1.5 fte's. Ccn's 24-hour hotline, staffed by volunteers, provides round-the-clock access to crisis counseling and a direct connection to 24-hour on-call advocacy services provided by ccn's advocacy team. Ccn provides all services free of charge to our clients, reaching approximately 2,000 clients per year. Additionally, the organization partners with a number of local social service agencies to ensure that all client needs are met beyond those provided by our agency, thus avoiding unnecessary duplication of services in a challenging economic environment. Ccn has been a member program of the pennsylvania coalition against domestic violence (pcadv), since its incorporation. The coalition is a statewide organization of 60 domestic violence programs that ensure member organizations maintain the highest standards, while providing quality services to victims of domestic violence across the commonwealth of pennsylvania.”
