A Message from CADA’s Executive Director

Hi All,

Where do I start? There is fantastic energy at CADA and we are getting ready to paint the town…yes PURPLE. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. The effects of domestic violence can be overwhelming to experience, and even to learn about. We are demystifying domestic violence with hopes that offenders think twice about offending, victims get needed support, and a broad community consciousness is raised compelling action in response to the cost of domestic and sexual violence and the impact on community outcomes.

Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. CADA wants to remove the shame associated with talking about domestic violence while providing information that compels a community response. Every facet of community wellness is impacted by domestic violence: education,

employment, finances, wellness...it’s all connected!

We are engaged in numerous efforts to respond to the needs in this region: In October we will be expanding services from two to five days in our Gaylord office, we will be opening an office in St. Peter that will include an exchange center and the Southern Minnesota Offender Education Program (SMOEP) that will offer courses in Mankato and St. Peter.

Please join us on October 19, 2015 at 6pm, for a candlelight vigil at the Mankato Public Safety Center. Please join us on October 26th at 7:00pm at Ostrander Auditorium for an MSU Department of Theatre and Dance Production of Trifles, a one-act play by Susan Glaspell based on the short story “A Jury of Her Peers”.

You are invited to: like us at www.cadaMN.org; join us in wearing PURPLE on that day; attend the vigil and choose to do something to change a culture of violence.

Committee Against Domestic Abuse FALL-WINTER 2015

kids October is a month of colors and fun and laughing running—it’s also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Many children learn best through multi-sensorial outlets and experiences. When they are able to explore through their senses (sight, touch, sound, scent, and taste) they are able to build a vision of how something is perceived by them. The effects of domestic violence can be overwhelming to experience, and even to learn about.

One thing is for certain, ignoring the problem will not make it go away. At CADA we want to remove the shame associated with talking about domestic violence while providing children with skills that allow them to cope at their level. While in shelter, children can engage in our Safety through Sensory Project and develop skills that allow them to call upon happier visions in times when they need to respond to, cope with, or process an experience. It also is a great way to understand the impact of building memories and healthy problem solving and coping skills.

Help CADA make sure that all kids in our community get to enjoy the fun associated with being a kid. Exposure to violence and trauma during early childhood has a large potential impact on the developing brain. It can change basic processes affecting healthy growth and intellectual functioning. Regular exposure to violence can change the structure of the brain. Please stand with CADA for kids in October and get educated. It’s time for an informed response to what the little eyes see...

Let’s all get involved in making our region a safe place for kids to grow. For more information on CADAkids visit our website: www.cadamn.org or contact us by phone: 507 625 8688 ext. 100.

The CADAkids Campaign will soon allow partners standing with CADA for kids to purchase

note cards, figurine cut outs (to display in yards, foyers etc.), and other artifacts.

We could fill target field 17 times with the Minnesota women who have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking.

CADA’s Garden

Fathers Matter

In June of 2015, CADA invited fathers to be a part of the solution, because they really matter. Here are few ideas dad’s shared about creating healthy families on CADA’s Facebook page with the hashtag #fathersinspirehope...

“I create a healthy family by being gentle, compassionate,

loving and modeling this for our son.”

CADA’s garden is sponsored by First Congregational United Church of Christ, with the help of Char and Lynn. All of the food planted is for guests staying in shelter, including green beans, squash, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, radishes, onions, cilantro, basil, lettuce, and cucumbers.

Happy Birthday! With love, Anonymous Melissa Ballman, Shelter Team Lead

It’s important to the CADA Shelter to be able to celebrate milestones and traditions such as birthdays with our shelter guests.

In the fall of 2014, CADA posted a request on the United Way’s Get Connected website for birthday party supplies and a few

days later received a visit from a man inquiring more about this need. We sat and visited about what a shelter stay is like for

children in shelter, the challenging transition that we typically experience with children leaving dangerous homes to join us in

shelter and the process of learning what safety looks like and feels like with their mothers at their sides. We talked about how

we typically celebrate birthdays and he shared his thoughts and ideas for how he and his family wanted to contribute, stating,

“Every child should have a fun and memorable birthday no matter where they are.”

For nearly a year, Anonymous has provided pizza for every child’s birthday during their shelter stay; and with enough notice,

has also provided gifts.

Through his generosity, the shelter has been able to accomplish his vision for our smallest guests and have successfully built

memorable birthday parties full of laughter, some tears of joy and gratitude, cake and gifts, and of course, pizza.

When we first met last fall, he asked for no recognition and wished to remain anonymous, simply reiterating that what was

most important was that children be able to celebrate the day they blessed the world with their presence.

It is with much gratitude that we say “THANK YOU!” to Anonymous for his contributions to the families seeking refuge in our

shelter and for the memories he has assisted in creating.

“I create a healthy family by trying to

model good behavior.”

“I create a healthy family by trying to be the best role model

I can be for my boys. Teaching them to be respectful young men.”

accountable and increase the safety of victims of domestic violence through the region. It is a

program of the Committee Against Domestic Abuse, Inc. (CADA), and supports our mission to

provide safety and support to victims of domestic and sexual violence through education,

advocacy, and shelter. The primary goal of SMOEP is to enhance the safety of victims of

domestic violence by working directly with batterers in order to facilitate a process of change.

The program is led by facilitators trained in the Domestic Abuse Intervention Program’s (DAIP)

Mankato’s Blueprint For Safety, and other programs, and is a key part of the world renowned

‘Duluth Model’ of coordinated community response to violence.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20th, serves as an opportunity for the community

to unite and reflect on the lives that have been lost due to gender-based violence. In our efforts to memorialize the lives of people who have experienced violence because of gender nonconformity, it is also important to consider that trans* individuals, as well as others who identify as lesbian, gay, bi, queer, etc., not only experiences violence in their local communities, but also experience intimate partner violence (IPV). LGBTQ folks face unique barriers when seeking support in an abusive relationship.

Too often violence in these partnerships goes unreported because of historically biased responses from service providers (Black et al, 2011). Compounding this problem, many LGBTQ individuals have a difficult time recognizing IPV due to a lack of social education and community discussion surrounding LGBTQ domestic and sexual violence. Furthermore, the act of finding services and/or reporting IPV may require them to “out” themselves, which may be unsafe in their communities, workplaces, or family environments. As a community it is essential that we reach out to LGBTQ folks who are in abusive relationships and strive to provide them with timely and sensitive services. We must also work to raise awareness about the dynamics of IPV in LGBT relationships, so that we can prevent it.

Committee Against Domestic Abuse FALL-WINTER 2015

OFFICE

SPOTLIGHT Blue Earth office, Faribault County

Deb Wiederhoft, Program Coordinator

The Committee Against Domestic Abuse (CADA)

opened services in the city of Blue Earth in 1995

serving victims in Faribault County.

CADA of Faribault County has worked very closely

with law enforcement, prosecutors, court

administration, probation, human services and

others to make sure victims of domestic assault

are receiving supportive services and that abusers

are being held accountable. About ten years ago,

a protocol for law enforcement’s response to

domestic violence calls was developed and

adopted by all agencies and has evolved over the

years to include all criminal justice entities.

Deb Wiederhoft has lived in Blue Earth since

1988. In 1991, Deb saw a need that was not

being met and she began volunteering. In 1999

Deb was hired as the Faribault County Program

Coordinator. In March 2015, CADA of Fairbault

(Continued in box on the right...)

Over the past year, time has been spent

providing direct services to victims,

conducting educational and informational

presentations and providing community

support as in the case of the identification

of a Jane Doe exhumed after thirty years.

Thanks goes to law enforcement for never

giving up on this case.

County organized a

training for law enforce-

ment in Wells, MN lead by

law enforcement and a

prosecutor from River

Falls, WI. Individuals

involved in the tragic case

of three young girls

murdered by their father.
