Where "too late" isn't an option
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
i'mPACT – Protecting Against Childhood Trauma seeks to reduce the negative impact of childhood trauma through various child-serving programs it operates within Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The most prevalent cause of child abuse and neglect is parent substance use. Parent substance use has increased substantially over the past decade and has lead to an increase in the number of infants born dependent on and affected by drugs/alcohol, the number of child abuse and neglect cases, and the number of out-of-home placements into foster care.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Tioga County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program
CASAs advocate for children in the foster care system. A CASA gets to know the child by talking with everyone in that child's life: parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges and others of what the child needs and what will be the best permanent home for them. A CASA volunteer is thoroughly trained and well supported by professional staff and functions as an officer of the Court.
Tioga County Children's Advocacy Center
The Tioga County Children's Advocacy Center works to provide victim advocacy services for child victims of abuse and neglect.
Asa's Place
Asa's Place is working to become Pennsylvania's first Residential Pediatric Recovery Center for drug-dependent newborns.
Nurture Me
Nurture Me provides advocates for infants born affected by exposure to drugs and alcohol in utero. The advocates work closely with biological parents to create a Plan of Safe Care for the infant to allow him/her to grow and thrive.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
i'mPACT brings together different professionals to share their skills and knowledge to combine services in such a way that biological, kinship, foster or adoptive parents, their families, and their communities have a fighting chance to improve outcomes for the young people they love. Together, we serve substance-exposed infants, child abuse/neglect victims, and foster children.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
i'mPACT values keeping families together. Our programs are designed to help biological parents regain their health along with keeping their children healthy. We believe that recovery from substance use disorders is possible, achievable, and critical to creating healthy families.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
i'mPACT operates in a Pennsylvania County which is 2nd in the state for the highest number of substantiated cases of child abuse/neglect. We operate four programs that serve children from birth through adolescents who are negatively impacted by their parent's substance use disorder.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
i'mPACT has secured funding from local foundations and contracts with the local county-administered human services entity.
