lists for affordable housing, and jobs are far more scarce. These women are seeking counseling and legal support services because they don’t have insurance or income to support paying for counselors or lawyers. When re-sources are fewer in the community, it is an inevitable fact that resources are extremely scarce for the survivors we serve. This makes life much more dangerous for survivors. In order to support survivors in their quest for safety and independence, we need your support.
In the past fiscal year, we provided services to over 5,000 women and chil-dren. Volunteers provided thousands of hours of service to SafeHouse Cent-er. It’s a simple equation: the more money we receive from the community, the more we can help the women and children who are trying to erase the violence and abuse and help them build new lives.
As the holiday giving season approaches, we hope you will remember Safe-House Center. Every gift to SafeHouse Center makes a difference between danger and safety, between trauma and healing. Please continue to stand with SafeHouse Center, as we make it clear that domestic violence and sexu-al assault will not be tolerated in our community and equally clear that there will always be help for those who suffer from these horrors.
Barbara NiessExecutive Director734-973-0242 [email protected]
Dear Friends,As the Executive Director of SafeHouse Center, I am frequently asked questions about domestic violence. Recently, I have heard the statement “SafeHouse Cent-er must be busy because of the economic problems our communities are facing— I bet that there is more do-mestic violence because of the bad economic times, with the stress it creates.”
The answer is NO. Reports from police records, victim services, and academic studies show domestic vio-lence exists equally in every socioeconomic group and is not affected by changes in income level, any more than it is determined by racial, ethnic or social affili-ations. Sexual assault and domestic violence do not happen because of external factors or because of the behavior of those victimized. It only happens because abusers make a conscious choice to take out their ag-gression on women and children.
What is true is that we are busier than ever before. Families using our shelter keep coming. We continue to receive high numbers of requests for counseling and systems advocacy. Calls to the HelpLine continue to increase. We are maximizing every resource we have to provide desperately needed services.
So, then why does it appear that hard economic times seem to cause an increase in the need for SafeHouse Center services?
During hard economic times, there are fewer resourc-es available for those who are experiencing domestic violence. There is more competition for resources. Sur-vivors need to stay longer in shelter because of longer

orTake a STAND Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
Domestic Violence crosses all boundaries. It occurs in every race, culture, socio-economic class, age group and in every type of relationship. It’s about power & control, not about alcohol or drugs, a bad childhood, bad tempers or anger management.
Domestic Violence is a learned behavior. Society condones this behavior by not holding batterers accountable for their actions. We reinforce the behav-iors by accepting the entertainment industries making money off violence against women and children, with demeaning jokes around gender and vio-lence, and through our failure to hold the media responsible for sensitively reporting relevant information regarding the horror and tragedy of domestic violence. And batterers continue to learn these behaviors in their families, by what’s modeled on how to handle disagreements. The violence is perpetu-ated because batterers get the message it’s okay to use verbal, emotional and physical abuse to maintain power and control over their partners
I challenge each of you to take a stand to end domestic violence by join-ing us throughout the year as well as participating in the activities we have scheduled for this year’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). This is the 19th year that our country will recognize October as Domestic Violence Month. We join domestic violence organizations across our nation in taking a stand to raise public awareness about domestic violence. To begin the month, SafeHouse Center staff, interns and volunteers hosted an Open House and a new SafeHouse Center sign dedication on Sunday, October 1st.
Please join us and our cause to extinguish violence at its source, to be part of our vision and fight for a different world—a world in which our institutions and our culture reinforce the values of individual empowerment, non-vio-lence and collective responsibility.
Look for our DVAM Calendar on Page 4 of this newsletter. For more informa-tion on how to participate in these events or to answer any questions about domestic violence, you can contact our HelpLine at 995-5444.

Sometimes it’s easy to recognize the symptoms of domestic violence in the life of a friend or family member, making it possible to offer support or help. Sometimes the signs are more difficult to see.
Domestic violence is a pattern of coercive behavior used to control intimate partners. It always includes threats and/or components of physical or sexual vio-lence. Domestic violence is accompanied by other abu-sive tactics which don’t always leave bruises or other physical evidence. It’s important to know the signs and take them seriously. Some of these tactics are power-fully shown in a series of four posters created for Safe-House Center by re:group, inc. of Ann Arbor.
Look for these poster images on the color pages of this newsletter. Copies of the posters are available from SafeHouse. If you know of public locations where these posters could be displayed, contact Elizabeth at [email protected]. We want the commu-nity to become more sensitive to the signs of abuse around us. We all need to be alert, speak out, and take a stand to stop domestic violence.

In Remembrance…Jerry JerniganFormer SHC Board Member
Jerry Jernigan, a member of the Safe-House Center Board, passed away on Tuesday, July 18, 2006. As a board member and stalwart supporter of SHC, Jerry had no doubt that sexual assault and domestic violence were totally unacceptable, and he was proud to align his name with SafeHouse Center. He not only took a visible stand against domestic violence and sexual assault, he also devoted countless hours to raising funds and de-veloping additional resources to assure that SafeHouse Center would continue to provide the essential services that it does for thousands of women and their families.
Jerry’s final project for SafeHouse Center was to insure that we finally have a visible and welcoming sign in front of our building. To honor the role that Jerry had in the development of the sign, the Public Relations and Marketing Committee of the Board have dedicated the sign to his memory.
Jerry’s life carried the message that it is important to give fully of yourself to others in need and not ever equivocate on your values. Jerry was an ardent sup-porter of our community, and we believe we all benefit-ed from his generosity of time and energy. Because of his care and work, this com-munity is a better place. KNOW THE SIGNS
JEALOUSYCALL 734-995-5444 Constant calling. Continual questioning. Incessant suspicion. Control freaks often freak out.
The Circle of Strength around SafeHouse CenterAs government funding continues to decline for SafeHouse Center, we espe-cially need and appreciate the generous support of individuals in our com-munity. SafeHouse Center is able to continuously provide highly effective and compassionate services 24 hours a day, in the aftermath of a rape or as a refuge for a family seeking safety, because of this generous community financial support.
This year, the SafeHouse Center Circle of Strength was formed to attract and recognize those who are willing and able to make major financial commit-ments to SafeHouse Center. These individuals and businesses will provide philanthropic leadership to our annual community campaign.
This year we honored the generous and dedicated members of our Circle of Strength at a luncheon and reception on Sunday, October 1. This event celebrated the installation of a sign in front of our building. The installation of an illuminated sign is a very important historical step towards enhancing vis-ibility of SafeHouse Center in the community at large and, most importantly, to those needing our services.This sign is dedicated in memory of Jerry Jernigan. At the time of his death, Jerry was in charge of coordinating the volunteers who donated their time and skills to create this sign. This is only the most recent example of the many contributions that Jerry made to the well being of SafeHouse Center. If you would like more information about joining our Circle of Strength, please contact Molly Resnik at: [email protected] or 734-973-0242 x226.

SHARE the SEASON
734-995-5444If you or someone you know is a survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault, call our 24-hour helpline @
Each Holiday Season SafeHouse Center experiences an outpouring of generosity from our community. It’s a joyous time of year! Holiday gifts for survivor’s families pour in; individuals, families and groups call to volunteer. It’s clear that Washtenaw County wants to help survivors during the holidays! Moms are thrilled to be able to bring many gifts home to their kids; they are deeply touched to know they are not alone and have not been forgotten. Thanks to the generous support of the community, each year SafeHouse Center is able to help survivors in December, and have gifts left over to give to survivors and children throughout the year.
SafeHouse Community Friends are excited to announce a new and im-proved holiday program called Share the Season. This program is designed to match the generosity of our community with the real needs of survivors. It’s very simple. Community Friends will ask survivors to fill out specific wish lists, indicating what their children need and want. By assembling a master list, we’ll be able to match donors with clothing and gift items that are desired.
This is an important change in our holiday program. One of SafeHouse Cent-er’s core values is empowerment. We don’t tell survivors what to do—instead we offer support, resources and information to help them make their own decisions. We believe it is important for survivors to control their lives. That’s why this new holiday program is so exciting. Donors will now have the satis-faction of focusing on real family needs and holiday wishes.
We invite all our supporters to Share the Season with families whose lives and homes have been disrupted by violence. Individuals, groups, businesses and organizations have always responded with conviction and generosity. With your support, once again this will be a special time for survivors and their families.
1. Purchase gifts for children and moms. You can sign up to purchase gifts for an individual or a family by contacting Liz at 734-973-0242 x273 or [email protected]. Community Friends will also create gift registries at several local stores in October. You’ll be able to purchase items from the registries and bring them to SafeHouse Center.
Help us share this important message!
This dramatic design is featured on the new SafeHouse Center Domestic Violence Awareness Month T-shirt! The purple shirts with white lettering will feature our logo on the front and the October is DVAM design on back.
You can purchase the shirts from SafeHouse Center and pick them up at the end of October. Short sleeve shirts are available in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL and to XXXL, at $12 each. Long sleeve shirts are available in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL, at $15.
T-shirts can be paid for by cash or check. If you have questions or wish to place an order, please contact Jenny Reed at 734 973 0242 x296
All shirts will be available after October 28th at Safe-House Center. You can also pick them up at the Do-mestic Violence Vigil! Thank you!

2. Donate gift cards. Gift cards are important resources we are able to provide families year round. During the holidays, we use gift cards in two ways: to purchase gifts, and as gifts to survivors. Suggested gift cards include: local department and clothing stores, electronics, book or music stores, restaurants, movie/recreational passes, phone cards (domestic and international). We hope to give each family gift cards from grocery stores so they can enjoy holiday meals at home.
3. Volunteer. Volunteers will be needed in December to sort gifts as they are delivered to SafeHouse Center and to help distribute them to families at our Holiday Party. Community Friends are also looking for volunteers to help plan and organize this new program. It’s a great way to get involved with this dynamic group! For a complete list of volunteer opportunities, contact Kathy Winterhalter: [email protected] 734-973-0242 x252.
4. Watch our website, www.safehousecenter.org for the latest information about donation needs, volunteering opportunities, and the gift registries.
5. Cash donations are always appreciated. They are used to meet unmet needs of survivors.
6. Support our Annual Appeal to make it possible for us to meet the needs of survivors and their families every day, all year round.
We thank you on behalf of the families of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Summer Children’s Fun
This summer the playroom at SafeHouse Center bub-bled with enthusiastic sounds of kids enjoying fun edu-cational activities. These sounds were made possible by a grant for children’s programming from the Rose-bud Foundation. Their generosity enabled SafeHouse Center to hire the phenomenal Robyn Conn to run the Children and Youth Summer Program.
The children and their parents enjoyed themed activities and weekly fieldtrips and activities to places such as the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum and Fan Day with U of M football players. One of our memorable activities was Circus Week, when Colors the Clown made a surprise visit to the delight of all attendees. SafeHouse Center is grateful to the Rosebud Foundation for their unique fiscal support to staff children’s programming. We hope to identify other funders to make sure this successful program continues and expands in the coming years.

Ann Arbor SafeHouse Center Bright Space
Our shelter playroom is big, cheerful and filled with children. However we know it needs remodeling and a re-design. That’s why SafeHouse Center is so pleased to announce a new partnership with Parke Place Family Center to develop a Bright Space.
The Bright Spaces program is a special initiative of Bright Horizons Founda-tion for Children in which Horizons Centers partner with homeless or domes-tic violence shelters in their communities to create wonderful playrooms for homeless children. A Bright Space is designed to be a place that encourages children to imagine, dream and play— a place where they can focus on just being a child. We are very excited to become a part of this program.
The staff at Parke Place Family Center is sharing their expertise on child development, their passion for child education— and their considerable energy. After several meetings with SHC staff members, shelter residents and shelter children, Parke Place volunteers designed a whole building plan for creating child friendly spaces in the shelter. They are committed to raising at least $10,000 for the renovation of the playroom. The entire Parke Place staff have done everything from garage sales and family fairs to candy sales; they’ve sponsored several auctions and raffled a quilt donated by Marilyn Agin, a member of the Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild. The money raised will be used to purchase new equipment , resources and toys for SafeHouse Center. We are also looking forward to having Parke Place staff assist in our training for Children and Youth volunteers.
The grand opening of the new SafeHouse Center Bright Space will be in late fall, 2006. Watch our website for announcements. For further information, con-tact Kathy at 734-973-0242 x252, or [email protected]

Mark Your 2007 Calendars for the Second Annual SafeHouse Center VAGINA MONOLOGUES February 9 and 10, 2007
Back by overwhelming demand, the Ark will host two performances of the highly acclaimed Eve Ensler play, the Vagina Monologues. On Friday, Feb.9 there will be an evening performance, followed by a matinee performance on Saturday, Feb 10.
Last year our community actors played to sold out crowds and made over $16,000 to support the services of SafeHouse Center. We expect to do even better this year.
Many of last year’s attendees commented that this event provided a fabulous “girls night out” for friends, co-workers, mothers and daughters and sisters. We want to make February’s event even more so, by adding some special dinner and brunch packages and some unique Ann Arbor pre and post per-formance experiences.
Our capable and enthusiastic producer, Grace Morand (of the Chenille Sis-ters), will again help craft a dynamic and creative show. We will build on last year’s success but will change and enhance the performance to keep this appealing to old time V Day fans, as well as new.
We are going to have lots of fun planning for this event and would love to be joined by others who would be interested in working on the production, hospitality, marketing or other aspects of this exciting event.
If you would like to learn more about how you can help or how you can re-serve premium seats, please contact Molly Resnik at 734-995-0242 x 226 or [email protected].

1st Annual GOLF OUTING, a great success!
SafeHouse Center held its 1st Annual Golf Outing on Sep-tember 15. It was a fabulous event. We raised over $25,000 for our 24-Hour Services. We would like to thank all who helped make our Golf Outing a wonderful success.
A very special thanks to the Golf Outing Committee:Kelly Parkinson (Chair), Leslie Desmond, Barbara Faja, Jyoti Gupta, David Hughes, Sarah Jarzembowski, GildaJohnson, Dean Naudi, Dennis Pearsall, Kimberly Pearsall, Molly Resnik, Clara Trent, Debbie Williams-Hoak and Irena Williams.
Washtenaw County Public Health’s Maternal and Infant Support Ser-vices, the Childcare Network, Ave Maria School of Law, and the UM Poverty Law Program/Family Law Project. We hope that visas will be issued for survivors as a result of the filings for relief provided for under the Violence Against Women Act.
Direct Services
Our services to Spanish-speaking survivors have increased substantially— both in numbers and scope. We currently provide one-on-one counseling, com-munity and legal advocacy, shelter, health services at our on-site clinic, and emergency financial assistance.
As word of mouth about the availability of our services in Spanish continues to grow in the community, we will continue to see an increase in the number of survivors and their children seeking services. We hope to expand this outreach/advocacy program to include the diverse cultures and languages in Washtenaw County so that more women and children can have the op-portunity to experience safety and empowerment.
El Centro de SafeHouseIn April 2005 SafeHouse Center made a commitment to expand all our services to Spanish-speaking survi-vors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Thanks to grants from the Washtenaw Health Plan and the Michi-gan Women’s Foundation, we hired Georgia Carpenter, a Spanish-speaking advocate for the Spanish-Speak-ing Outreach/Advocacy Program. We’re excited about our successes.
Community education and outreach ~ we have:
- Provided staff training at local health agencies to assist them in screening for intimate partner vio-lence or sexual assault in the Latino population.
- Initiated community education about domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault in the Latino population by facilitating group dis-cussions with Planned Parenthood of Ann Arbor, the Migrant Health Promotion in Saline, the Doula Program through the Center for the Childbearing Year, the Women’s Study class at EMU, and the UM University Center for the Child and Family.
- Expanded partnerships with committees at Washt-enaw County Health Initiative Prevention, Latinos Unidos, the Limited English-Proficiency subcom-mittee of the Women of Color committee at the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. We have also been involved in organiz-ing a new coalition for local professionals who work with the Latina population tentatively called the Latina Women’s Health Coalition.
- Collaborated with community professionals in or-der to increase the safety of Spanish-speaking cli-ents at numerous agencies, some of which include:

Un Paso A La Libertad
“A Step Towards Freedom” is the name survivors chose for our new support group for
female Spanish speaking survivors of domestic violence.
The members say it is important to have the opportunity to gather in a safe place to talk about difficult emotions and
experiences. They value the chance to create bonds with other survivors, and decrease their sense of isolation. Mil gracias
to each member for making this group happen!
¡Buena suerte a todas!
