TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO By Mayor ATTEST: Town Clerk . 2 • 1 ESTES VALLEY VICTIM ADVOCATES 2004 6-Month Report Agency Name Date Estes Valley Victim Advocates, Inc. July 30,2004 Address P.O. Box 1287, 851 Dry Gulch Road City State Zip Phone Estes Park CO 80517 577-9781 Executive Director Mary Mesropian Brief Program Description: Estes Valley Victim Advocates, Inc. provides advocacy to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, staking, other crimes and trauma. Victim Advocates are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An advocate can support victims through the immediate crisis, medical exams, law enforcement interviews and the court process. Advocates provide information on victim's rights, the cycle of violence, victim's compensation, and the legal process as well as make referrals to safehousing. The director coordinates the advocate program by recruiting, training, supervising, scheduling and evaluating victim advocates. A counselor is available to provide short-term (3-6 months) individual counseling and support groups to assist victims in recovering from the trauma ofthe incident. Our weekly support group for battered women is well attended. Objectives: Law enforcement, Estes Park Medical Center or other referral sources page victim advocates and advocates then provide services at the most appropriate safe location. After the services are provided to the victim, the victim advocate submits a written report. If an arrest has been made, a report is sent to the District Attorney's Office tg use in considering bail conditions. A Court Advocate will attend court with the victim if requested. There are three areas of advocate assessment: Safety. Options and Stability. These questions are on every advocate case sheet and advocates must answer these questions on every call: Is victim(s) physically safe? (Not in immediate danger.) Victim knows options and rights and knows what to do next? Is the situation stabilized? This includes emotional stability as well as their ability to take care oftheir own and their children's immediate needs. All victims are offered individual counseling and support groups. Assessments are completed by program participants in the fbrm ofvictim assessment needs questionnaires. We collaborate with Crossroads Safehouse, Alternatives to Violence and Larimer Center for Mental Health Sexual Assault Victim Advocates to keep our measurement tools appropriate and current. 1 . . . Innovative Actions: We are committed to education and prevention ofviolence among our youth. The director is the Chair of a new program, PSE (Project Safe Environment) that includes school personnel, agencies and concerned parents and citizens. We are looking at programs to be included in school curriculum that deal with relationship safety, acquaintance sexual assault, and sexual harassment. In the past we have had support groups for girls that were fairly successful. This year, the counselor started a "Teen Women & Moms" program where both the teenager and her mother attend. The focus is on education around dating safety, i.e., dating abuse, date rape, stalking. Part ofthe session also focuses on a "fun" activity. Girls have spoken to a successful female entrepreneur (and learned to make chocolate) and through a local mechanic, were taught how to use pantyhose as an emergency fan belt. This program is extremely successful. We have also made presentations to younger girls in middle school and looked at how they can do bystander interventions safely when lhey see bullying or harassment behaviors as well as looking at fairy tales and their lessons of female complacency (waiting for the prince "to wake them with a kiss"). The collaboration of Estes Valley Victim Advocates and Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership that developed a victim empathy class is going very well. The program focuses on understanding how victims are impacted by crime economically, physically and emotionally/psychologically. Problems: Our Spanish-speaking Outreach Program is still struggling. Culturally, Latinas are not as likely as women of other ethnicities to seek support within the traditional model (i.e., attending support groups or counseling.) We don't wish to be a program that doesn't meet the needs ofthe Latina population in Estes Park but up until now, they have not been accessing our services unless there is law enforcement intervention and often, even then, don't understand the purpose of an advocate. We are now facing the fact that support groups and counseling may not be the appropriate venue for this group of victims. We willlook towards a philosophy change from efforts concentrated on systems to partnerships. Outreach will focus on locations where we can meet these women and their children in arenas where they are comfortable: community garden site, churches, and medical community. We are also developing a partnership with Larimer County Women's Center which will offer "Charlas" (Chat in Spanish) to meet Latinas in their homes. The Women's Center will focus on health related issues and we will offerjnformation on domestic violence and sexual assault. Future Objectives: We will continue our 24 hour/7 days per week victim advocacy services with the objective of continuing to have highly trained volunteer advocates delivering quality care, information and referrals to victims as well as supportive services, i.e., individual counseling and support groups. Education to the community and in our schools on the issues of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and date rape are our top priority.
