For Immediate Release: CADV Receives Notice of Major Funding Cuts The Committee Against Domestic Violence received a fax from the State of Nevada informing the organization the grant funded through Marriage License revenues ($10 from each marriage license purchased in Nevada) will be reduced by 25%, effective July 1. This grant is core money for operations at Harbor House and essential for victim services at CADV. For CADV this 25% reduction equals $34,115 less dollars not only next year but in all probability the following year. Yvette Waters, CADV’s Executive Director, released this statement: “The Committee Against Domestic Violence also known has Harbor House is a non-profit organization operated through grants and community donations. This funding cut will be devastating for our organization. The state recommended we reduce our scope of services. What does that mean? Are we supposed to turn victims away from Harbor House because we have to provide 280 less shelter nights? On the other hand, do I tell our local officers to call CADV 150 times less next year when they respond to a domestic violence scene? As a victim advocate I believe these are not options and simply not possible nor realistic. The reality is domestic violence and sexual assault will not follow the state’s recommendation by happening 25% less often next year. In the The Committee Against Domestic Violence began providing free and confidential services to Harbor House is a home from victims and their children. CADV has all the same expenses every family has only multiplied by eight since the organization can shelter eight families a night. The grocery bill at Harbor House is $34,675 per year and shelter utilities are $16,000. The majority of CADV’s budget is operations and does not include staff. Yvette Waters notes, “We have a smaller budget and less staff, yet we provide the same victim services as The State of There is one light at the end of this dark tunnel; CADV, a partner agency, just received their grant announcement from CADV will evaluate services, programs, and victims’ needs and then begin the daunting task of identifying new funding sources and requesting their support. “Wish us luck,” (Ms. Waters).

The April newsletter is available! Click here for it: April 2007 Newsletter There is also a service available for victims of Teen Dating Abuse, called loveisrespect.org: As you can see the loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline was launched on February 8th with some fanfare and press coverage. I wanted to say thank you to all of you who provided feedback and asked such great questions as this new service for teens was basically brought to life over night. I did want to address some of the pieces of press that are out there-the Liz Claiborne press release stated that technologies are increasing the amount of teen dating abuse. We are saying that cell phones, instant messenger, and social networking sites are just new ways that abusers are using to control and abuse their partners not that these new technologies are creating teen dating abuse. Also, we do have a phone number and a web site-although oddly many of the articles don’t mention the number. So here are the basics and again thanks for those who offered their guidance. And thanks to those who have tested us J! Loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline is now providing support and information to young adults 13-19 across the country. Through the web site www.loveisrespect.org we are offering information to those experiencing teen dating abuse and to their friends and family members. Additionally we are excited to start offering confidential, anonymous chats on a one on basis to teens. The helpline operates 24 hours a day by utilizing the tenured advocates of the National Domestic Violence Hotline while offering peer to peer specific advocacy through the phone and the chat function during the hours of 4 pm to 12 am CST. The chat function only operates from 4 pm to 12 am at this time. The hours for the helpline will continue to expand as the peer volunteer pool grows with the goal hours of peer to peer specific advocacy being 12 pm to 2 am. Peer advocates go through a 40 hour training prior to being on the phone or chats. The training covers crisis intervention, dating abuse theories and healthy relationship information, safety planning, safe technology training, youth related issues training like GLBT teens, runaways, sexual assault, immigrant teens, and youth related legal advocacy information. The peer advocates are trained on mandatory reporting and working with domestic violence service providers. loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline 1-866-331-9474 1-866-331-8453 (TTY) Click here for an article about this issue: Teen tech tormentors: what's a parent to do? |
