Spring/Summer 2012

When does caring become controlling? When does talking become stalking? These are questions asked by That’s Not Cool, a national campaign to address teen dating violence and abuse. EVE asks these same questions to middle and high school students in Ingham County to address the prevalence of dating violence in our community.

Teen dating violence is an issue that has been gaining more awareness in schools and at home as parents, teens and educators are recognizing the early warning signs of abuse. EVE’s Teen Dating Violence Prevention Education program is quickly becoming a valuable resource for educators as they seek out education to promote healthy relationships.

EVE provides free presentations to students in middle school and high school on a variety of topics including healthy relationships, dating violence, bullying and abuse.

The goal of EVE’s Teen Dating Violence Prevention Education program is to empower students to think critically about their relationships by providing them with tools and tips to promote healthy relationships and reduce the incidence of dating violence.

Students participating in EVE’s Teen Dating Violence program report an increase in their understanding about dating violence.

“You should be able to be yourself in a healthy relationship.”

“Nobody has the right to abuse anyone and nobody deserves to be abused.”

EVE uses activities, video clips and current media to engage students.

“I liked the presentation today. Dating violence is a problem that needs to be talked about.”

“Today you made this class interesting even though it was about abuse.”

Workshops and professional trainings are also available for parents and educators interested in learning more about the dynamics of abuse. Presentation topics can be fl exible to meet the needs of the group.

More information about EVE’s Teen Dating Violence program can be found online at www.eveinc.org.

As the Michigan economy continues to climb out of an economic crisis, the need for domestic violence services are on the rise. The National Institute of Justice, an agency of the Department of Justice found that when unemployment rates go up among men, so does violence against women. Regardless of the state of the economy, the fact remains that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.

As EVE approaches its milestone 35th anniversary, it will continue to meet and exceed the needs of domestic violence victims in the community and will remain steadfast in its mission to provide shelter and supportive services to victims of domestic violence while seeking to end domestic violence through public awareness and community education. EVE supports and provides a much needed and valuable service to our community, and it is our community that supports EVE’s success.

In closing, I want to personally thank the community - the many volunteers, generous donors, corporate sponsors, law enforcement agencies, legal and judicial venues, EVE leadership, its volunteer Board of Directors, and the talented and committed staff who continue to support EVE’s mission and its success in the face of increasing needs for services during a period of continual economic challenges.

Sincerely,

Richard Znidarsic

Dear Friends,

Letter from EVE’s Board

President Richard Znidarsic

Message from the Executive DirectorIn late December 2012, EVE will begin its 35th year of service to survivors of domestic violence. Looking back at the history of the domestic violence movement much has changed over the years. Starting with the language that we use; survivors of relationship violence versus battered women. There is an increased understanding of relationship violence and recognition of experiences among all groups; women, men, lesbian, gay, and transgender individuals, teens and older adults experience abuse by intimate partners and family members. It does not matter who you are, abuse diminishes a sense of self that can only be reclaimed with understanding and support of others. Thank you to our kind and generous donors who ensure EVE is here to provide the support that victims need to become survivors.

Susan ShoultzExecutive Director

Richard Znidarsic is the Vice President of Information Services at Accident Fund and

has an extensive background in Information Technology with more than 20 years

experience. Richard was elected as President of EVE’s Board of Directors in 2010.

The mission of the Offi ce on Violence Against Women (OVW), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, is to provide federal leadership in developing the nation’s capacity to reduce violence against women and administer justice for and strengthen services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

OUR MISSION: EVE’s mission is to provide shelter and supportive services for the victims of domestic

violence while seeking to end domestic violence through public awareness and community education.

The Offi ce of Violence Against Women helps communities build collaborative responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant program provides an opportunity for communities to support the supervised visitation and safe exchange of children in situations involving domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, sexual assault or stalking.

EVE, Ingham County Friend of the Court and MSU Chance at Childhood have joined together to facilitate safe exchange and supervised visitation. The program aims to enhance security to domestic violence victims who share custody of their children with an abusive partner.

According to the Offi ce of Violence Against Women, “Visitation programs should refl ect a clear understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking; the impact of domestic violence on children; and the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions.”

Funding from the Offi ce of Violence Against Women is helping EVE and community partners in Ingham County create a safe and secure facility for supervised visitation and exchange. The Ingham County Safe Havens collaborative has plans to open the Oasis Family center in the upcoming months.

Abuse in Later Life EVE, the City of Lansing and community partners including the the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Offi ce, Lansing Police Department, Tri County Offi ce on Aging and Adult Protective Services have joined together to provide enhanced training and services to end violence and abuse in later life.

Individuals who are 50 years of age or older may face unique barriers when seeking assistance for elder abuse, neglect and exploitation including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking.

Historically, domestic violence and aging services have operated independently with little or no intersection of services. This initiative has helped unite those agencies to provide enhanced support and services to victims of elder abuse.

Community partners, consisting of representatives from nearly 30 agencies throughout Ingham County, have joined together to discuss their roles in providing support to victims of elder abuse at monthly Community Collaborative Response (CCR) meetings.

With input from CCR members, core partners create a strategic plan to address elder abuse in Ingham County. One of the key components of the plan is to provide training to service providers working with older adults.

The Abuse in Later Life project along with other federally funded programs are provided by the Offi ce of Violence
