One Credit Union Raises $1,125 for
Back-to-School Supplies
Brett Smith, President and CEO of One
Credit Union, shared the achievements of the
South Barre Branch. Led by Branch Manager,
Jodi Pecor, the team recognized the needs of
many children in the community that were
not well prepared to start school. “Especially
with COVID, getting kids ready for school
and ready for learning can be tough for many
families.” Jodi added, “By working together
with our membership, we can help to make
a difference, not only with the kids, but also
with the teachers. Teachers have their hands
full with lesson plans; we don’t need to add to
their worry about basic supplies!”
Throughout August the team worked with
the members to raise money and accept supply
donations for the children in the Barre
City, Barre Town, Montpelier, Williamstown,
and Roxbury Elementary Schools. And One
Credit Union members stepped up to the
challenge indeed! One member in particular,
American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees Union Local #1369,
made an incredibly generous donation!

Prevent Child Abuse Vermont
Programs to be Studied by
University Researchers
A grant in the amount of $1.6 million awarded by the CDC
Injury Center will fund this scientific study for a four year
period.
“We are honored to be one of three prevention programs in
the United States to be chosen as worthy of scientific, rigorous
study. This is so gratifying. We could not be happier,” said
Linda E Johnson, Executive Director, Prevent Child Abuse
Vermont.
This grant will allow PCAVT to have a rigorous study of
the efficacy of their child sexual abuse prevention programs
for children in grades Pre-K through 5, Care for Kids© and
We Care Elementary©. The primary Investigators are Beth
Molnar, PhD and John Holton, PhD, of Northeastern
University and The University of Illinois at Chicago, respectively.
Safe Shores, Inc. in Washington, DC, will implement
PCAVT’s programs to prevent child sexual abuse for this
rigorous scientific evaluation at 16 public charter schools,
over four years. The National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children will also partner in the study.
Grant funds will become available before the end of 2021,
and the schools will begin implementing the program, titled
The Healthy Relationships Project©, in 6-month intervals in a
stepped wedge randomized trial design study. Within one
year, the expectation is that there will be an increase in knowledge
and skills gained by parents, caregivers, and educators
regarding child sexual abuse, how to prevent it, an increase in
students’ positive socio-emotional skills, and a decrease in the
reports of child sexual abuse for children in the schools that
are using this program.
The Healthy Relationships Project© is a primary prevention
curriculum that is developmentally appropriate, trauma
informed, and comprised of both victim and victimization
prevention. It was written and has been delivered by PCAVT
since the mid-1990s and shared across 30 states, including
statewide across Vermont. Since its implementation, substantiated
cases in Vermont dropped 72% between 1992 and 2020,
and the number of child perpetrators dropped 77% in that
same time. Given this promising preliminary data, this curriculum
is expected to perform well under this rigorous scientific
evaluation. This study will move the science of child
sexual abuse prevention research forward, as few approaches
to prevention have ever been evaluated in this way.
The mission of PCAVT is to promote and support healthy
relationships within families, schools, and communities to
eliminate child abuse. Serving Vermont began as Parents
Anonymous of VT in 1976 and has grown to have a helpline
and three main programmatic areas: Child Sexual Abuse
Prevention, Family Support Programs, and the Safe
Environments for Infants and Toddlers Program. PCAVT
partners with over 250 organizations across Vermont, and
many more both nationally and internationally. PCAVT’s programs
are skills based, teaching adults how to nurture healthy
development in children, and emphasize adult responsibility
in keeping children safe.
For more than 20 years, CDC’s Injury Center has helped
protect Americans from injury and violence. They work to
understand how injury and violence impact all of us and what
we can do to prevent it.
Together with our members, One Credit
Union presented a total of $1,125 in gift cards
for teachers across five schools in our community,
along with supplies that were also
donated.
Schools receiving donations included the
Barre City, Barre Town, Montpelier, Williamstown,
and Roxbury Elementary Schools.
“I couldn’t be prouder of our team in South
Barre, and our members. They recognized a
need in the community and set to task to do
something about it,” stated Smith. “By living
out our commitment to contribute to our
community, success such as this really shows
our brand mantra – Together, we can make a
difference!”
