women’s support group
children’s group
This 12-week group is directed toward women whom have
experienced unhealthy relationships at any point in their lives.
Some attend group as they are leaving an abusive relationship;
some are working toward that transition, while others have
been free of abuse for many years. The group helps participants
gain insight and build skills to create healthy relationships
within their lives with topics such as: boundaries, recognizing
types of abuse, power & control, family dynamics and laying
a blueprint for change.
Children’s support group runs parallel to women’s support
group meeting on Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. This group
is facilitated by the children’s advocate who guides them
through discussions and activities meant to bring awareness
to abusive behaviors and help them to be able to appropriately
express and cope with emotions surrounding issues with
domestic violence, divorce and grief/loss. This group also
focuses on self-esteem building, conflict resolution and safety
planning. Participation is free and confidential.
The group has an open format and new members are welcome
at any time. Groups are held on Thursdays from 6:30-8:00 PM.
There is no cost to attend and groups are confidential. A
children’s support group is available at the same time for
school-aged children and daycare for those younger. Members
have told us the best part of attending is “knowing I’m not
alone”, “talking to others about similar situations”, and “being
able to talk and be honest without judgment”. For more
information visit our website, www.ywcaidaho.org, or join us on
Facebook for session updates and current topic information.
crime victim service center
We continue to offer services to victims of crime in Asotin,
Columbia, and Garfield counties in Washington and four
counties in Idaho. Our goal is to help victims of assault,
homicide, burglary, kidnapping, elder abuse, child abuse,
identity theft, harassment, human trafficking and gang violence
to not become victims of the system as well.
Unfortunately, we know that crime victimization does occur
in our area and this year we have had contact with over 800
victims. We are here to help. We want you to know that you
are not alone in whatever type of victimization you have
suffered. We will do our best to answer your questions and
help in whatever way we can.
community education
We provide community education and training presentations
throughout the region. We conduct full-day workshops, such
as the workshop on domestic violence presented to students
of the LCSC Nursing Division as well as on-site trainings. A
specialized workshop is presented regularly to students of
Headmasters School of Hair Design training future
cosmetologists how to respond effectively to a victim of
domestic violence.
Want to learn more? Give us a call to schedule a presentation
for your workplace, group or organization. Options include
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking,
homelessness, child abuse, healthy teen relationships, crisis
intervention, fraud, identity theft, property crimes, religious

According to a recent study by Brandeis University, over
the past 25 years the wealth gap between blacks and
whites has nearly trippeled. A typical black household
has accumulated less than 1/10 of the wealth of a typical
white one. And it’s only getting worse.

• Nearly 1.5 million high school students nationwide
experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a
single year
• 1 in 3 adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical,
sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner,
a figure that far exceeds rates of other types of youth
violence.
• One in 10 high school students has been purposefully
hit, slapped or physically hurt by a boyfriend or
girlfriend.
• Approximately 70% of college students say they have
been sexually coerced.
February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness
Month. Contact us for presentations to educate adults and
teens about this important topic. Although we focus
awareness efforts in the month of February, we will provide
training year-round using an award-winning Idaho Teen
Dating Awareness and Prevention Project curriculum
sponsored by the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and
Domestic Violence. Trainings include Healthy Teen
Relationships, Digital Technology and Relationships, and
Teen Dating Violence.
back
back to our roots
Thirty-two years ago we opened our Sue Wheel Domestic
Violence Shelter; a safe and secure place for women leaving
domestic abuse situations. In the last five years we have rarely
had a vacancy in our domestic violence shelter. We also realized
that 60% of the families in our homeless shelter were women
and children who were homeless due to domestic violence,
but not in a situation where they needed to be in a monitored
safe shelter.
to our roots
We have also noted, due to the economy, it takes longer for
our domestic violence clients to find jobs, secure housing, and
build a support system that will enable them to live
independently.
After running our emergency homeless shelter for families for
23 years, we have transitioned it to an extended housing facility
for women or men and children that are homeless due to
domestic violence. This will enable our clients to have more
time to take the steps necessary to become self-sufficient.
After staff and board consultation, we decided to “go back to
our roots” and work primarily with victims of domestic abuse,
sexual assault, and stalking. Homeless services and
resources, which were once scarce in our area, are now being
offered by many different agencies.
We are in the process of making some renovations to our
facilities and, as always, are accepting donations of food,
household items, bedding, etc. Unlike many of our homeless
clients, who often had personal items in storage or resources
from familiy, our domestic abuse clients usually leave home
without any belongings or hope of retrieving them and are
starting over building new lives. A list of donations we can use
is on our website at www.ywcaidaho.org.

assist a victim through the criminal justice system process and respond to emergency situations at the hospital or at a law
enforcement office. In addition, advocates can speak to local groups and organizations about our services, the dynamics of
domestic violence and abuse, including teen dating violence, and describe how the community can help keep victims safe and
hold offenders accountable.

sexual assault response teams
Research shows that over 80% of sexual assault victims
are attacked by someone they know. In many cases, the
victim has consumed alcohol. Alcohol is the number one
date rape drug. How does the community respond to
victims who were having a drink with someone they
recently met and were later attacked by that person? If the
victim had a drink, does that mean she consented to be
victimized? How can the offender be held accountable?
There are many barriers to responding to sexual assault
cases. Sexual Assault Response Teams meet regularly
to address these barriers, develop policies and procedures
to work together, and build collaborative relationships to
address gaps in the community response to sexual
violence.
The ywca has recently been awarded STOP (Services
and Training for Officers and Prosecutors) funding,
administered through the Idaho State Police, to develop
Sexual Assault Response Teams throughout the region.
STOP grant funding will provide specialized training for
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners, law enforcement, and
prosecutors to enhance their responses to sexual assault
cases. The ywca will provide advocacy to victims as part
of the SART response.
Sexual Assault Response Team member agencies include
the ywca, police departments in Lewiston, Orofino,
Grangeville, and Cottonwood, Nez Perce Tribal Police
and Women’s Outreach Program, Sheriff’s and
Prosecutor’s offices of Nez Perce, Clearwater, Idaho, and
Lewis counties, Syringa Hospital and Clinics, St. Mary’s/
Clearwater Valley Hospitals and Clinics, and St. Joseph
Regional Medical Center.

sexual assault support groups
Healing from sexual assault can seem like a daunting and
isolating process. It can be hard to find support or even
know where to begin. Our Sexual Assault Support Group
was developed to help survivors find direction and develop
their own personalized path toward wholeness. This 12week group is rooted in research based trauma-informed
practices such as art, journaling, yoga and mindfulness.
These techniques are coupled with traditional group work
such as self-care, shame, vulnerability, trust, reducing
triggers and cultivating authenticity. The group utilizes a
closed format with an open period of enrollment where
members are pre-screened and start the group together.
The groups are intentionally kept small to allow for trust
building so space is limited. Once group has begun, new
interested members can be added to the wait list for the
next session. A new group will begin early this year. If you
or someone you know might be interested, please contact
Shelly at 743.1535 or you can reach her by email at
[email protected]
“Without this group I would have
had no support, nowhere to go and
feel trapped with no one to help. I
needed a feeling of connection
and a place to feel safe because
inside I did not feel safe.”
advanced women’s support group
We recently received grant funding to help create an
Advanced Women’s Support Group as a next step in the
healing process and a way to develop further leadership
skills. Classes will begin in early 2015. If you have been a
group member in the past and would be interested in this
group please call for more information.
women’s connection
Many thanks, again, to the energetic women
of the Women’s Connection! After another
successful Purse Auction, held in November,
the y received a donation of $20,000 as a result
of the group’s efforts and dedication.
We also received a generous, and unexpected, donation from
the Mary Kay Foundation. Recognizing that domestic violence
shelters around the country are struggling to overcome funding
gaps in their services, the foundation provided 150 shelters
with unrestricted funds that can be used to supplement basic
operating expenses.

The dog and handler proceed on a loose leash at their own pace through designated stations, 10-20 stations depending on the
level of the course. Dog and handler should exhibit teamwork as they proceed freely in numerical order between the designated
stations. Dogs are required to have previously completed an obedience class. Class is limited to 10 dogs, pre-registration is

SEXUAL • ASSAULT • AWARENESS • MONTH
Join us. Take action. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Did you know that every 2 minutes someone in the U.S. is
sexually assaulted and only 6% of the rapists will ever spend a day in jail? Help us change these sobering statistics through
understanding and education. Working together we can raise awareness, change attitudes, and help prevent sexual assault.
Awareness projects for April include:

We’ll be draping our
communities with teal ribbons
to increase awareness of
sexual assault.
Since the 1999 Italian Supreme Court
ruling that a woman wearing jeans
could not be raped and must have been
a consenting party - because “jeans
cannot even be partly removed without
the effective help of the person wearing
them”, sexual assault advocates have
observed Denim Day.

souped up delivery
We realize that it is difficult for many working people to get away for our (very grand) (and fun) Soupport Our Shelters soup extravaganza (Friday, February 27). If you and your co-workers order seven or
more bowls of soup, we will have one of our souper volunteers deliver the soup of your choice, bread,
cookies and a drink for each person right to your doorstep!
You get a hand painted bowl (luck of the draw). There is a catch: delivery orders must be prepaid ($25
each) and prearranged with the y by February 18. Tickets to our soup day would make a GREAT
Valentine’s Day gift. Order forms will soon be available on our website, www.ywcaidaho.org.

voca funding and what it might mean for us
victims of crime act
The VOCA act is a federal law that provides funds in support of a variety of services and activities that assist
victims of crime. VOCA money comes from various federal criminal fines, forfeitures, assessments and
penalties. None of the money comes from taxpayer appropriations. Funds are distributed by formula grants to
states who use them to provide financial support to local direct victim service providers, such as domestic
violence shelters, sexual assault crisis centers and as direct compensation to crime victims. The purpose of
VOCA funding is to enhance and expand direct services to victims of crime. This includes responding to the
immediate needs of crime victims, reducing the severity of psychological consequences of victimization,
helping restore a victim’s sense of dignity and self-esteem, and assisting and encouraging victims to participate in the criminal justice system.
This year congress has increased the VOCA funding three-fold and, although it is now also diffused through
many federal organizations (FBI, Office of Victim’s of Crime Administration), we are hopeful that we will see an
increase in funding, both for Washington and Idaho, to domestic violence shelters and crime victim service
funds.
