Over the first quarter of 2009 and 2010 the PTPV program has completed the activities planned inthis period, which have included home visits, psycho-educational services, case management, and family activity. It was registered that more than 30 participants benefited directly from the program and 40 people benefited indirectly from the activities or services provided by this program. The activities focused on preventing domestic violence, increasing protective factors and promoting copping skills through three components.
Data collected discriminating participation according to program / number of clients served: Data in Chart 1 suggests that the proportion between invitation to participate and registered participation is almost 2 to 1. Regarding clients from the APT program, out of 25 clients invited to participate, 13 attended sessions.

CHART. 2 COLLABORATION ACTIVITIES WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS 
Chart 2 shows collaboration with community partners that our agency has engaged and identifies the proportions of clients refereed to services. Fundejoven has created links with key departments and divisions inside the Arlington Department of Human Services (DHS), developed a survey questionnaire to assess family needs, and provided individual case management services in collaboration with the Arlington DHS. This collaboration has consisted of phone contacts, setting meetings, assisting clients to communicate (translation in some cases), persuade and coach clients on how to navigate the system, and advocate on behalf of client to expedite services. As a result of these case management services and above links, families were able to receive information on or get services such as food stamps, crisis assistance, shelter, housing grants, and medical/dental services from the Career Center and Arlington Mill.
