Download or read book SHELTERS FOR BATTERED WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN written by Albert L. Shostack and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having made enormous strides since the first shelters for battered women opened in the 1970s, these institutions are still planned and operated according to local needs, regulations, and resources. There are, however, a number of universal standards, or guidelines for shelter planners, boards, staffs and volunteers. The author has interviewed a number of individuals whose work is dedicated to shelters for battered women and their children, and he supplements those interviews with additional research. This volume compiles his research through an exploration of current statistics on shelter operations, current assistance opportunities for shelters and the women who turn to them for help, and some current realities of shelter life. What works and what does not work under the widely varied conditions of actual shelters is explored in terms of setting up a new facility; potential internal and outreach services; staffing and volunteers required for 24-hour operations; budgeting issues and funding sources; admissions, processing, and counseling of residents; and overview of shelter life, including daily routines, health care and security issues; and the preparation of residents for new lives on their own.

Download or read book Empowering and Healing the Battered Woman written by Mary Ann Dutton, PhD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992-08-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book spells out in practical, concrete terms what it really means to place the pathology outside the battered woman. The novelty in this approach lies in the implications for practice: battered women are not ìsickî ñ they are in a ìsickî situation. ìÖPractical and comprehensive, an excellent guide for clinicians and other intervenersÖ. Mary Ann Duttonís book, Empowering and Healing the Battered Woman, integrates psychological theory with detailed information on the real-life dimensions of abused womenís posttraumatic responses and the strategies for assessment that form a part of each chapter are particularly valuableÖ. Duttonís approach of understanding womenís experiences of violence in context and of empowering abused women will also serve to empower ñ and free ñ those providing services to women victims of partner violence.î - Angela Browne, PhD, University of Massachusetts Medical School (Author, When Battered Women Kill) ìDrawing upon her vast clinical, academic, and forensic background, Mary Ann Dutton shows us that women experience abuse in many different ways and employ a wide range of techniques to survive the abuse. She then offers numerous suggestions for working with battered women, all predicted on ethical, feminist principles. Although geared toward clinicians, this book is a great resource for battered womenís advocate, law enforcement officials, and attorneys ñ for anyone who comes into contact with battered women.î - Sue Osthoff, Director, National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women ìFinally, a book on battered women that shelter workers can recommend to traditionally trained therapists. Dutton provides a conceptual framework for understanding the differing needs of battered women: support, advocacy, and healing. Not all battered women are the same. Dutton details both the assessment processes and therapeutic approaches that acknowledge those differences.î - Anne L. Ganley, PhD, Domestic Violence Program, Seattle V.A. Medical Center
Download or read book Violence in Families written by Committee on the Assessment of Family Violence Interventions and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-02-27 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports of mistreated children, domestic violence, and abuse of elderly persons continue to strain the capacity of police, courts, social services agencies, and medical centers. At the same time, myriad treatment and prevention programs are providing services to victims and offenders. Although limited research knowledge exists regarding the effectiveness of these programs, such information is often scattered, inaccessible, and difficult to obtain. Violence in Families takes the first hard look at the successes and failures of family violence interventions. It offers recommendations to guide services, programs, policy, and research on victim support and assistance, treatments and penalties for offenders, and law enforcement. Included is an analysis of more than 100 evaluation studies on the outcomes of different kinds of programs and services. Violence in Families provides the most comprehensive review on the topic to date. It explores the scope and complexity of family violence, including identification of the multiple types of victims and offenders, who require different approaches to intervention. The book outlines new strategies that offer promising approaches for service providers and researchers and for improving the evaluation of prevention and treatment services. Violence in Families discusses issues that underlie all types of family violence, such as the tension between family support and the protection of children, risk factors that contribute to violent behavior in families, and the balance between family privacy and community interventions. The core of the book is a research-based review of interventions used in three institutional sectors--social services, health, and law enforcement settings--and how to measure their effectiveness in combating maltreatment of children, domestic violence, and abuse of the elderly. Among the questions explored by the committee: Does the child protective services system work? Does the threat of arrest deter batterers? The volume discusses the strength of the evidence and highlights emerging links among interventions in different institutional settings. Thorough, readable, and well organized, Violence in Families synthesizes what is known and outlines what needs to be discovered. This volume will be of great interest to policymakers, social services providers, health care professionals, police and court officials, victim advocates, researchers, and concerned individuals.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shelter Enhancement Program (SEP) was initiated in 1995/96 with funding from the Federal Family Violence Initiative (FVI). The objective of the SEP is to assist in repairing and improving existing shelters for women and children in areas such as security, access for persons with disabilities, and improvements in child play areas. SEP also assists in the acquisition or construction of new shelters and second stage housing where needed. SEP provides interest-free, fully forgivable loans to sponsors of first-stage shelters and second-stage housing for women and their children experiencing family violence. Sponsors who are eligible include non-profit organizations and Indian Band Councils. In December 1999, additional funding for SEP from the National Homelessness Initiative (NHI) was announced for the four years 1999/00 to 2002/03, and the scope of the program was expanded to include youth who are victims of family violence. An evaluation of SEP was undertaken in 2001 and this report addresses the impacts of this program for Canadian family violence shelters. A separate report on the youth component of the SEP examines the youth shelters funded in the two years 1999/00 and 2000/01. The evaluation addressed four key questions: Have SEP expenditures improved shelter conditions and had positive impacts for shelter clients? Is there a continuing need for a program to fund mandatory repairs and enhancements of shelters (security, access for persons with disabilities, etc.)? What impact have SEP expenditures had on the need for shelters and shelter utilization? Is there a continuing need for a program to fund additional shelter units?
