PLEASE GIVE A BBIEF DESCBIPTZON OF YOITg AGENCY OR ORGANIZATION AND ITS GOALS. In this country, a woman is more likely to be assaulted, injured, raped, or killed by a male partner than by any other type of assailant. Domestic violence is believed to be the most common yet least reported crime in our nation. An estimated 3 to 4 million American womea are beaten each year by their husbands or partners. The U.S. Surgeon General has identified domestic violence as a major health problem to women. Wife-beating results in more injuries that require medical treatment than rape, auto accidents, and muggings combined. Each year, more than 1,000 women - or about four women per daq - are killed by their husbands or partners. Domestic violence is indeed a serious natioaal problem that affects not only individual victims, but the entire community as well. . Regional Domestic Abuse Services is a private non-profit agency serving families experiencing violence in Winnebago County. Regional Domestic Abuse Services' goal is to provide services to any family member who is involved in violence and give them the opportunity to live violent free lives. Regional Domestic Abuse Services provides ' emergency shelter to women and children, 24 hr. crisis lines, support groups, 1:1 crisis counseling, a Children.'s Program, Perpetrators Program, and community education. 2. PI,EASE GIVE A BBIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJEGT, INCLDDING OBJEGTIVES AND ACTIVITIES. A. Regional Domestic Abuse Services is requesting funds for our Children's Program. Statistics have proved that children who grow up in violence are iavolved in violence as adults. For boys who grow up in violence 70� will become perpetrators and 40X of women who witness violence will be abused. Emotional effects of domestic violence on children include: * Taking responsibility for the abuse. * Constant anxiety (that another beating will occur) * Guilt for not being able to stop the abuse or loving the abuser. * Fear of abandonment. Regional Domestic Abuse Services stroagly believes we aeed to provide services to children. Our Children's Advoccate provides 1:1 crisis counseling, support groups for children, pareating groups, school arrangements, and prevention presentations in the school system. B. Regional Domestic Abuse Services is requesting funds for our Advocate Position. The Advocate provides all the support groups and 1:1 crisis counseling for women not needing shelter, as well as counseling and groups for women residing in Shelter. We provtde daily groups at the Shelter, a Wednesday night open support group at Mercy Medical and 3 closed 10 week groups each year which average 15-20 women. The purpose of counseling and support groups is to provide victims with alternatives, support, education, advocacy, and referrals, so they have options to change their lives. 3. PLEASE P80VIDE A BIIDGET FOR THE PBOJECT. BUDGET Children's Advocate including benefits: $25,200 x 1/3 = $8,400. Advocate Position including benefits: $22,680.x 1/3 = $7,560 - 30d - Total 8equest: �15,960. ' Res 91-69 4: PLEASE DESCRIBE HOk�THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND AGTIVZTIES ARE RELATED TO THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY TSE HIIMAN SERVICES SUBCOMMITTEE. R.D.A.S. believes the project objective for housing coincides with Human Service subcommittee guidelines because we are providing emergency housing to low-income families in order for them to live violenct free lives and develop a suitable living environment for themselves and their children. Support groups and 1:1 crisis counseling are very important for any family members who are working towards living violent free lives.
