SAVE Annual Report FY 2014-2015
YEARS Message from the Board of Directors Yasi Safinya-Davies, Psy.D. Greetings! Last October, we welcomed Dr. Yasi Safinya-Davies as our new executive director. 2016 marks the 40th anniversary of SAVE’s campaign to end domestic violence in the Tri-City area. It’s an opportunity to review our history and renew our goals. Our priority is to deepen our community and stakeholder relationships and reinvest in SAVE’s founding belief—it takes a community to stop domestic abuse. Executive Director Dr. Safinya-Davies joined SAVE in 2010 as a mental health consultant and partnering facilitator of our 40-hour Domestic Violence Advocate Certification Training. The demographics and needs of the Tri-Cities’ respective communities have changed tremendously since 1976. SAVE must be able to offer culturally responsive services to our clients and engage our diverse community to join us in taking action. In 2014 she was named director of SAVE’s Clinical and Prevention Services. Her leadership and commitment have been invaluable to the organization. SAVE is more than a shelter with a crisis hotline. Our innovative programs have engaged and educated the wider community. The “Loves Me, Loves Me NotSM” teen dating workshops help students avoid unhealthy relationships; our COPS (Community Oriented Prevention Services) Program trains local police in crisis intervention; and our new Empowerment Center, which focuses on post-shelter assistance, have all established SAVE as a leader in domestic violence reduction. Dr. Safinya-Davies earned her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology. She has worked to eliminate domestic violence and sexual assault throughout her career. We look forward to celebrating our 40th anniversary and promising future with Dr. Safinya-Davies at the helm. 2 In celebration of our first 40 years—and our remarkable clients, staff, donors, and volunteers—SAVE will host and sponsor domestic violence prevention events throughout the year. We hope to see you there. There are a number of ways you can directly advance our current and new programs. Become a volunteer for our Empowerment Center, Shelter, or Hotline. Or invite us to provide a free domestic violence prevention and awareness presentation—SAVE Talks— at your workplace or faith/community center. “SAVE is more than a shelter with a crisis hotline. Our innovative programs have engaged and educated the wider community.” We’d also welcome financial contributions. Your generosity will enable SAVE to hire a childcare provider, purchase supplies for our kids’ room, or offer workshops to guide domestic violence survivors toward safety. Please visit our website (www.save-dv.org) for ideas. Dr. Yasi Safinya-Davies 3 Carrie Blake SAVE Client Carrie Blake has used SAVE’s services during two periods in her life and speaks openly at SAVE events about her abuse history. She feels it’s important for people to hear from a white, middle-class, educated survivor of domestic violence. Carrie married at age 19 and spent 12 years with a man who began to abuse her and continued as their two children grew up, often deliberately striking her in their presence. She did not want her son to become an abuser, so she planned her exit. She was referred to SAVE, which helped her work through the legal and emotional process—court appearances, restraining orders, crisis counseling, divorce. Being in court with her husband was harrowing (Carrie had symptoms of PTSD), but SAVE volunteer Sybil Smith helped through it all. “Just the thought of the place and staff gives me a sense of security.” Carrie believes that SAVE takes the shameful, hidden subject of domestic abuse out of the shadows and into public discussion. Her role has been to explain why some women stay with their abusers—often due to fear of retribution—which many people cannot understand. “No one at SAVE judged me,” Carrie said. “I was treated with dignity and respect.” She has recommended its services to many other women. 4 “No one at SAVE judged me. I was treated with dignity and respect.” Carrie would like to see SAVE extend its outreach to middle and elementary schools and start a dialogue with children, who are also victims in a violent household. 5 Programs 24-Hour Crisis Hotline Community Prevention and Outreach Linkages Rapid Rehousing Collaborative The Hotline is a gateway to all of SAVE’s services. Trained domestic violence counselors offered callers emotional support, crisis intervention, and referrals. Calls can be conducted in more than 300 languages through a 24/7 translation service. In 2015 SAVE responded to 1754 calls from 1565 callers. These innovative services raised awareness about domestic violence and SAVE programs. Our “Loves Me, Loves Me NotSM” curriculum was presented to 5187 participants at local junior high and high schools, churches, and youth groups to prevent abusive relationships before they start and end the cycle SAVE’s participation in the McKinney Linkages program provided provided nine families (30 individuals) with long-term assistance and preparation for selfsufficiency. Families received up to 18 months of rental assistance, allowing mothers to further their education, enhance their job skills, and accumulate the life skills necessary to move on from an abusive past. Counseling Services Psychotherapy was provided to individuals of all ages, families, and groups at both our Shelter and Empowerment Center locations. SAVE clinicians participated in our domestic violence counselor certification and received ongoing training and supervision in skilled, sensitive service. Treatment goals were tailored to each client or family, and groups were developed per clients’ emerging needs. In 2015 our interns served 203 individuals and families; nearly 250 women attended our counseling group sessions. 30-Bed Emergency Shelter Our safe house, in a confidential location, offered families fleeing abuse case management, peer counseling, therapy, children’s services, and access to food, clothing, and other basic needs. This 90-day program helped individuals and families heal and move toward safe and independent lives. Case managers worked with clients to ensure they had safe housing after their stay. SAVE provided shelter to 212 women and children last year. Children’s Program SAVE recognizes the need to work closely with children to heal the trauma of living with violence. We facilitated 141 sessions of group and individual peer counseling and therapeutic play activities. Our Family Support advocates worked with mothers to help them understand the impact of crisis and transitions and learn better ways to respond. of violence. Team “Stronger Than You ThinkSM” is our youth empowerment group, led by 17 local teens dedicated to engaging the community around teen dating violence. And 32 participants joined us for our newest presentations—SAVE Talks—brief presentations that encourage professionals to become change agents within their own communities. SAVE regularly attended community events and health fairs to share information about our services. “SAVE is considered one of the primo organizations of its kind. I’m proud to represent SAVE’s work, outreach, and growth, particularly the teen programs.” Aileen Fox Donations Manager, Cargill, Inc. 6 7 Programs Community Oriented Prevention Service Program (COPS) 40-Hour Training and Volunteer Program In California, individuals who work directly with abuse victims must complete an intensive 40-hour domestic violence counselor training. SAVE’s training program was completed by 66 community members; many are now direct-client service volunteers. These volunteers provided individual and group peer counseling, crisis intervention, and assistance with TROs and court accompaniment—a total contribution of 2156 hours of service. SAVE partnered with three local police departments to improve law enforcement’s response to abuse victims and increase the officers’ understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse. The COPS advocates worked with the families, referred by the police departments, to provide safety and well being through crisis counseling, information and advocacy, access to emergency resources, and links to ongoing support services. 1342 victims received help at the Fremont, Hayward, and San Leandro police departments. Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) Clinic Empowerment Center “Our philosophy of treating survivors in a way that’s respectful and compassionate is one of the things I’m most proud of at SAVE.” “My daughter, a former SAVE client, helped me understand how hard it is for women to leave their abusers. I have a special place in my heart for these women.” Sybil Smith SAVE advocates provided support and guidance through the often daunting temporary restraining order (TRO) process. During court hearings, clients are required to face their abusers. Our volunteers helped clients navigate the legal system and provided emotional support through what can be a traumatic experience. Our advocates accompanied 115 women to court and assisted 106 clients to complete TROs to keep abusers from causing further harm. The Center afforded clients and the community access to SAVE’s comprehensive services. Clients in crisis received immediate case management, emergency safety planning, survival supplies (food, clothing, and toiletries), help with TRO documentation, and assistance finding shelter. More stable clients engaged in comprehensive case management and participated in wellness groups. In 2015 SAVE helped nearly 200 clients through this program.
