Community need: Access to a domestic violence shelter leads to a 60 to 70% reduction in incidence and severity of continuing assaults in the 3 to 12-month follow-up period compared to battered women who did not access a shelter. A shelter is more effective in reducing re-assault than is court and law enforcement. (2005. Campbell, Wolf. Johns Hopkins RAVE Study).

General Advocacy Clients: 178. Community Need: Through years of research and trainings involving the abuse power and control wheel, we are aware that abusers often limit a victim's access to financial resources, employment opportunities, government documents, and overall socialization.

We provide resources to help regain housing and necessities, which allows them to find their own strengths and voices, so they can step into new lives with confidence and independence." Missouri advocate (MOCADSV.org. Isolation is a common tactic used by abusers to maintain control and hide the abuse. Silence and secrecy also surround domestic violence and rape, both as control tactics and as part of the self-shaming that survivors exhibit (2011,MCADSV). Survivors report that they are concerned about not being believed or under- stood as a critical barrier to reaching out for help. For many survivors, breaking the isolation and speaking out about their abuse are some of the most powerful steps toward self-empowerment (2011,MCADSV). Survivors report finding comfort when talking among peers who have shared a similar experience, and being able to talk it out has helped them gain the confidence to continue their path toward independence from their abusers or their pasts. When group facilitators are trained in the dynamics of domestic and sexual violence, support groups can provide an effective space for relief from the isolation and create an inviting space for speaking on one's personal trauma. Target Population: The target population is survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, stalking, and human trafficking, including both shelter- based and community-based clients. Activities : All Turning Point clients have access to support groups and individual counseling. Support groups are provided on a variety of topics. Group offerings vary week by week and are aligned to match the needs of the clients. Support groups are always facilitated by a trained staff member or direct service volunteer. Individual counseling is provided by a licensed counselor. The frequency of individual counseling sessions is determined by client needs and is arranged by the counselor and client. . Substance Abuse Prevention Clients: 21: Community need: In our rural community we have witnessed an increased accessibility to substances including amphetamines and opioids. With this increase there are extremely limited resources available for recovery. Substance abuse is often a tactic for an abuser to insert power and control over a victim. Substance abuse may be a pattern that can be coupled with trauma, abuse, and impulsive behaviors characterized by the effects of addiction. Survivors needing to find a way to break the cycle of substance abuse through recovery and prevention are supported. Target Population: The target population is survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, stalking, and human trafficking, including both shelter-based and community-based clients. Activities: Individual and group sessions using the SMART Recovery Program. Clients meet in weekly group activities, individual sessions, and complete activities and projects designed to strengthen them and provide alternatives to break free from the cycle of substance abuse. 818769 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 25 true false false false false false true false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X Susan Hladky President 6364561186 PO Box 426 Warrenton MO 63383 Heather Haas Chair 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Steve Campbell Vice-chair 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Laura Adams Secretary 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Donna Wargin Treasurer 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Paige Clark Board member (part-year) 0.25 X 0 0 0 Dustin Taber Board member(part-year) 0.25 X 0 0 0 Jamie Irish Board member(part-year) 0.25 X 0 0 0 Angela Gibson Board member 0.25 X 0 0 0 Cheryl Summers Board member (part-year) 0.25 X 0 0 0 Sarah Gramanzini Exec.director (part-year) 40.00 X 49938 0 0 Alisha Albregts Exec. director (part-year) 40.00 X 0 0 0 49938 0 0 0 false false false 0 139628 37004 858853 98284 13321 1133769 278 0 278 30566 37004 13613 16953 0 16953 1151000 0 0 17231 4285 4285 56945 25626 14237 17082 538847 506354 13281 19212 44992 42054 1130 1808 50837 45245 2542 3050 18215 0 18215 0 4365 1015 350 3000 2 0 2 0 11240 10003 561 676 19688 18851 638 199 65631 59188 2928 3515 9090 8813 126 151 6377 3710 3 2664 51342 50697 293 352 8382 2939 5245 198 Other 1178 1017 125 36 Payroll processing 2897 2578 145 174 Client services 32808 32808 0 0 Dues and subscriptions 3586 3586 0 0 930707 818769 59821 52117 171720 139163 75108 55585 77498 73966 89522 67848 2085 3052 1413041 259666 1204717 1153375 17448 1620650 1510437 34605 34835 348184 0 0 17448 382789 52283 X 1137457 1363514 100404 94640 1237861 1458154 1620650 1510437 220293 X X false true X true false X 0 865381 812112 1096996 1318221 1133769 5226479 0 0 865381 812112 1096996 1318221 1133769 5226479 0 5226479 4 81 47 34 278 444 0 0 103 25423 0 0 25526 5252449 0 0.99510 0.99470 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Other 2018: 0. 2019: 103. 2021: 0. 2022: 0.
