Program: Lisel Petis from Advocates
Advocates has seen a rise in child abuse and domestic abuse but has not seen a rise in calls because victims are locked up with the perpetrator. New position at Advocates is Child/Youth Advocate. Three legs of position are teen primary victims (impacted by sexual violence or teen dating violence), youth secondary victims (for youth living in the homes of violence) and prevention. Also working on a child advocacy center to serve 80 people per year, promote coordinated response between police, social services, mental health, medical and victim advocacy, provides skilled forensic interviewer specific for children. Of 22 judicial districts, we are one of four that does not have a child advocacy center. Task force came together in November. Who is going to run this is a main question with new center? Reorganization of Advocates. Two programs under non-profit corp. Advocates on one side (similar program that will continue to offer the same services as is) and the new program will be the Brighter World - Child Advocacy Center - offering forensic interviews, forensic exams, and advocacy. "It is important for people to know that no matter what lies in the past, they can overcome the dark side and press on to a brighter world". Looking for facility space - in need of four rooms. Working to find a place where many nonprofits can move to coordinate together.
