quarters at $1,980.00 from line item 101-2100-421.22-98.

I recommend the Estes Valley Victim Advocate Contract to the Town Board, to be

Dear Friends,
Estes Valley Victim Advocates has built its programs on community need. In 1988, the call
came to help victims of crime in Estes Park. It was quickly apparent that people who were
impacted by serious trauma needed our services as well. In the last 21 years we have served
victims of assault, domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, and other crimes. We have
also brought caring and compassion to survivors of suicide, sudden death, accidents of all
kinds and missing persons. As our mission grew so did the area we served. We send
advocates to Estes Park, Drake, Allenspark, Glen Haven, Rocky Mountain National Park
and all areas in between.
Early on, we recognized that putting a family impacted by domestic violence into a hotel
for a couple of days was not sufficient to help them make the necessary changes for living a
life free from violence. It took a lot of brainstorming, hard work, energy and the perfect
building to reach our dream of having a safehouse where women and children could stay for
up to six weeks. In 2007, we opened My Sister's Place. Due to the size of our community, we
assumed two bedrooms would be enough. In 2009 we had to turn away or locate
safehousing outside of our community for 22 women because we had no room.
Looking back, we had other challenges in 2009. Like every other non-profit we had a
difficult financial year, but we persevered and continued to deliver essential services to the
Estes Valley community. We researched and discovered new funding sources that have
allowed us to keep afloat. And we are so grateful for the many individuals and
organizations that stepped up with contributions. Our endowment fund is growing again
and we dream of the day we can be at least partially supported by this fund.
We give heartfelt thanks to our many friends and supporters and wish for all a happy and
healthy 2010.

ESTES VALLEY VICTIM ADVOCATES' PROGRAMS
ADVOCATE PRO GRAM
The Victim Advocate is an immediate and practical assistant. Advocates attend 30 hours of training
which includes domestic violence, sexual assault, death and suicide, and crisis intervention skills.
An advocate is someone you can talk to in complete confidence. They have real information on
victims' rights, useful information on police and court procedures and
down to earth advice about victims' compensation. They can also
help ensure safety by creating a personal safety plan and securing a
safe place to stay. Advocates understand what it is like to be a victim
of crime or trauma and provide gentle and caring emotional support.
COUNSELING PROGRAM
A counselor is available to provide individual counseling and support
groups to assist victims in recovering from the trauma of an incident.
We understand that once you have been a victim, you are never
exactly the same. Estes Valley Victim Advocates believe that victims
have basic human needs that have to be addressed. They need the
opportunity to tell their truth, to be protected from further violation,
to have support and to have their psychological needs addressed. Our
counselor addresses these psychological needs and assists victims on
their journey from being victims to becoming survivors.
SAFEHO USE PROGRAM
My Sister's Place is a program focusing on non-violent living that
provides safety in a confidential location. Weekly counseling and
advocacy sessions are required for women and their children while
staying at the safehouse. My Sister's Place is a sunny, pleasant space
with private bedrooms, a playroom, a kitchen, and other common rooms. Women and their chil-
dren can stay there for as long as six weeks. The Safehouse Manager focuses on self-sufficiency, as-
sisting women in finding childcare, housing, and jobs with the goal of taking their place in the com-
munity.

LATINO OUTREACH
Being a victim of a crime and not being able to speak English makes the victimization that much
more frightening. "What's going to happen to the offender? What do I have to do next? What
about my kids? " These are questions many victims grapple with. But when you are not able to
speak the language, to whom do you turn? Estes Valley Victim Advocates has a Spanish-speaking
Outreach Coordinator to assist the Latino population in our community who find themselves in need
because they are victims of crime or trauma.

Year in Review:
• In 2009, Estes Valley Victim Advocates served 191 men, women and children with 489 total
contacts. These clients were victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, assault,
survivors of unattended death and suicide and other crimes and trauma. Eight volunteer
advocates and five staff members were available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One staff
member provided bilingual services when needed.

sessions of counseling and advocacy focusing on safety planning and learning to live self-
sufficient and violence free lives.
• In 2009, 11 community presentations were given with 548 community members attending. Five
"Impact of Crime" classes were co -facilitated for Estes Valley Restorative Justice clients with 14
offenders attending.

court process.
• They were provided information on victim's rights, the cycle of violence, victim's compensation,
protection orders, the legal process and given safehousing when needed.
• A counselor was available to provide individual counseling and support groups to assist victims
in recovering from the trauma of the incident.
• A bilingual outreach coordinator was available for Spanish-speaking victims.

The Affordably Chic Fashion Show
and Silent Auction, held on
October 19, 2009 at the National
Park Village Playhouse, was a
huge success, raising over $5,500
in its first year.
We could not have put on this
fundraiser without the support and
generosity of the Estes Park
Community Thrift Store. They
supplied all the clothing for the
fashion show. From casual Ralph
Lauren Capri pants to cashmere
sweaters to cocktail dresses and
evening gowns, it was hard to be-
lieve these were thrift store items!
Our sponsors were: Estes Park
Mortgages, Edward Jones,
Insurance Associates, and Optical
Perspectives. Affordable Chic was
planned and coordinated by Susan
Crabbs, Harriette Woodard and
the EVVA board of
directors. Julie and
Charles Phares and Estes
Park Sings Players per-
formed a tribute to
Broadway. A silent ion and and a vintage hat
able brought in much
ieeded funds.

Future Objectives
As we begin a new year and a new decade, Estes Valley Victim Advocates and My Sister's Place
remain committed to serving the Estes Valley and fulfilling our essential role as advocates for those
victimized by crime and trauma.
• We will continue our 24 hour/7 days per week victim advocacy services with highly trained
volunteer advocates delivering quality care, information and referrals.
• Supportive services in the form of individual counseling and support groups in English and
Spanish, for men, women and children will continue. Counseling will focus on safety planning,
self-sufficiency and living without violence.
• Education to the community and in our schools on the issues of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault and date rape are a top priority.
• Safe and confidential shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children will continue to
be offered in the Estes Valley.
• All victims will receive services regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, age, disability,
national origin, or sexual orientation.
and. . . ..
• We will finish the wheelchair accessible bathroom this year as funding necessary to complete
this project has been raised.
• We will seek funding to create another bedroom from a storage area. This bedroom will have
half walls allowing 2 or 3 women without children to share space while maintaining privacy.
• To become more self-sustaining by growing our endowment fund. We intend to do this by
putting aside 10% of every dollar raised through fundraising into the Estes Valley Victim
Advocates Endowment Fund maintained by the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado.
Estes Valley Victim Advocates is the only agency in the Estes Valley whose purpose is to serve
victims of crime. We support local law enforcement, the Estes Park Medical Center, Rocky
Mountain National Park and other community organizations who require our services. We will
continue our programs relying on our mission as our guide as we begin 2010.
