Children’s Program Highlights and Statistics
Harbor House’s Children’s Program
is committed to providing a supportive
environment where information about
domestic violence can be shared, and
children and teens can come together
for support and community. Individual
contact and support groups offer children and teens an opportunity to share
their experiences and to gain knowledge about breaking the generational
cycle of abuse.
In 2007, Harbor House assisted more
children and youth than ever before, as
follows:
● 242 children found safety within
our shelter.
● 413 children participated in oneon-one counseling sessions for a
total of 4,992 hours.
● 220 children participated in
group counseling sessions for a
total of 2,459 hours.
● 337 children received legal
advocacy for a total of 362 hours.
Harbor House began in 2007 to focus
attention on “family advocacy” when
working with children and teens. Family advocacy means that the children,
along with the non-abusive parent,
meet one-on-one with the Children’s
Advocate to develop a strategy that
keeps the entire family safe.
They also discuss ways that the
relationships within the family may
have deteriorated and look at how
those relationships—especially
between the mother and her children—
may be repaired.
With this in mind, Harbor House set
an outcome for 2007 that would reflect
the new direction of its Children’s Program. We wanted to be sure that children ages 4 to 18 who had met with an
advocate at least twice would have discussed a family safety plan, and would
have enhanced communication skills
between themselves and their parent.
To achieve this outcome successfully,
the following needed to happen after

DV Intervention Highlights and Statistics
The mission of Harbor House’s Domestic Violence Intervention Program
is to eliminate domestic violence and
educate our community by facilitating a
coordinated community response with
a focus on the safety of victims and
their families and holding perpetrators
accountable for their behavior.
Harbor House’s Batterers’ Education
Program is based on the Duluth Model
for domestic violence perpetrator
treatment. Perpetrators take part in
27 sessions with Harbor House staff,
consisting of a 45-minute intake with
the DVIP coordinator, a two-hour
orientation session by Harbor House
to introduce the individual to the
group process, weekly two-hour
educational group sessions and a
victim impact panel.
While no two domestic abuse cases
are the same, Harbor House works with
law enforcement and the justice system
to ensure perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. The following
gives an example of the progression of
involvement among Harbor House, law
enforcement, the victim, the perpetrator
and the court system for when a first-
Community Education and Collaborations
HARBOR HOUSE DOMESTIC ABUSE PROGRAMS
Community Education, Collaboration Key to Future Change
Harbor House’s ability to end domestic abuse in the Fox Valley depends
heavily on education and collaboration
with like-minded individuals and organizations. In 2007, several initiatives began in partnership with various sectors
of our community.
Voices of Men
In April, Harbor House partnered with
Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services,
Reach Counseling and the Sexual Assault Crisis Center to bring to our area
performances of Voices of Men, a oneman theatrical performance that strives
to get men involved in the work to end
violence against women. Students in
Kimberly, Kaukauna and Menasha saw
the performances at their high schools.
Another evening performance took place
for the general public at Fox Valley
Technical College.
The message was so well-received that
a Voices of Men group came to fruition.
This group, made up of men from all
walks of life, is working on activities to
get their anti-violence message out. In
2007, a Men’s Summit was held with 25
men beginning the planning stage.
Faith Initiative
Our Faith Committee continued its
work in reaching out to local clergy.
During its meetings, the committee concluded that ministers needed help in
recognizing the signs of domestic abuse
during premarital counseling with couples and the appropriate response and
referral in instances where domestic

Chilton Office Focuses on Outreach to Calumet County
Local outreach to the residents of
Calumet County continued in 2007
from our Chilton-based office. The
office, which is staffed by one fulltime advocate, offers the same services as those available at our main
Appleton location, with specialization in domestic abuse in small, rural
communities.
In 2007, Harbor House served an
increasing number of Calumet
County residents, as follows:
● 8% increase in number of
children receiving one-on-one
counseling.
Page 8
● 12.5% increase in number of
children receiving legal advocacy.
● 56% increase in women seeking
assistance with restraining orders.
● 8% increase in number of
community education contacts.
The Calumet County Coordinated
Community Response Team laid the
groundwork for a Domestic Violence
Court in 2007. The goal of DV Court
is to enhance offender accountability
and increase victim safety during the
probationary period by imposing
swift sanctions on offenders who
violate the conditions of the probation and to reward those who remain
in compliance.
In October 2007, Harbor House
brought the large-scale theatrical performance, Remote Control, to students
at Chilton and New Holstein middle
schools as part of Domestic Violence
Awareness Month.
Thanks to funding from the Endries
Family Foundation, the Chilton Area
Community Foundation, and Bill and
Gail Engler, more than 400 Chilton
and New Holstein middle-schoolers
and educators were part of this presentation that educates pre-teens about
dating violence, self-esteem and making positive choices.

Harbor House’s Vision, Mission and Strategic Initiatives
Our Vision
To create a community committed to peace and
equality through positive, innovative and holistic
programming.
Our Mission
To offer safety and support to diverse families in
crisis, and to lead a community-wide partnership in
the awareness and prevention of domestic violence.
Strategic Initiatives
Meet the Needs of a More Diverse Population
The Fox Valley region encompasses many sub-groups, culturally and socio-economically, with
varying physical and mental abilities, who comprise the total community. Harbor House will
strive to understand these groups and develop programs and communications that are responsive
to their needs.
Succeed in Preventing Domestic Violence
To prevent domestic violence, we need to work to engage the community toward social change
by offering new programs and services that are aimed at altering violent and oppressive beliefs,
attitudes, social norms and institutional structures.
Increase Involvement and Diversity of Board and Committee Members
Encouraging diverse volunteerism is critical to the success of Harbor House Domestic Abuse
Programs. Recruitment of diverse board members, committee members and general support
will increase the sphere of influence and support to help in maintaining a safe, functional and
financially secure organization.
Maintain a Financially Secure Organization
To prevent domestic violence, Harbor House needs to be a financially secure organization
capable of supporting its short and long term strategic programs.
