We focus on five pillars that address crisis resources, safety and stability, healing and learning tools for change, and violence prevention with the goal to interrupt the intergenerational cycle of abuse, serving 2,414 community members in FY24. To achieve our mission, we collaborate with systems partners and communities to provide access to services and responsiveness to the changing needs of our communities affected by domestic and intimate partner violence. DAP's therapeutic program areas include: Youth, Victims/Survivors, Intervention and Prevention, and First Call (see Schedule O).Youth and Early Childhood Programs The Youth and Early Childhood Program offers free therapeutic services to children who are seeking to heal from the effects of domestic violence. Our youth programming serves ages birth-24-years and consists of group therapy, individual therapy, and parent-child dyadic early childhood therapy. Through all our youth programs it is our priority that children learn that abuse is not their fault, they are not alone in their experiences, and they begin to find healing through supportive and caring relationships. Additionally, we have built relationships through training, referrals, consultation and collaborative partnerships with Anoka Hennepin Alternative School, Avenues for Homeless Youth, Ramsey and Hennepin County Child Protection Services, and North Point Health and Wellness Center. In FY24 DAP served 74 participants. Programs for Victim/Survivors The Victim/Survivor Therapy Program is primarily a group-based intervention with the goal of supporting individuals to heal from the effects of abuse. Healing includes breaking isolation, becoming aware of choices, learning and practicing ways to protect and care for oneself, understanding abuse is not their fault, and reclaiming one's sense of self. Groups are co-facilitated and provide an educational component and process/support. Individual therapy is offered to supplement or assist in the group process as our philosophy is that people best heal from the trauma associated with abuse in community with others. Additionally, we have built relationships through training, referrals, consultation and collaborative partnerships with Ramsey and Hennepin County Child Protection Services, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, North Memorial Emergency Room Social Workers, and the UMN School of Social Work. In FY24 DAP served 159 clients through our survivor therapy programs. Intervention and Prevention Program The Intervention and Prevention Program (IPP) is primarily a group-based intervention that serves adult individuals that use abusive behavior. The program meets State requirements for batterers intervention programs and incorporates trauma theory and relational treatment techniques in its work with people who have used abusive behavior in intimate partner relationships. Over the course of the program, individuals who have used abusive behaviors work to unpack core belief systems that influence abusive behaviors, accept responsibility for their actions and give presentations to their peer group on their plan for building and maintaining equal and interdependent relationships. The program is a minimum of 22 sessions long and combines cognitive behavioral therapy-based psychoeducation with relational, trauma informed, and attachment based therapeutic processes. Individual therapy is offered to supplement or assist in the process of group or once the individual has completed their group process and could be supported by ongoing individual programming. We also provide Intervention and Prevention services to transitional age youth (TAY) ages 18-24 who have used violence in their relationships. Additionally, we have built relationships through training, referrals, consultation, committee work, and collaborative partnerships with North Point Health and Wellness, Domestic Abuse Service Center, Hennepin County Probation, People Who Work with People Who Batter, Domestic Violence Steering Committee (DOCCR), Batterers Intervention Prevention Network and AQUILA. In FY24 DAP served 206 clients through our intervention and prevention program. First Call First Call is a direct service that is provided to individuals in need of support, individuals who are interested in accessing services at DAP, community members, family members and community providers. This is our first point of entry into services at DAP and is staffed by team members, interns and volunteers. The delivery of support services includes safety planning, crisis management, resource referral, assessment and enrollment in DAP programming and providing support and consultation to community members, family members and community providers who are working with families impacted by domestic violence. In FY24, DAP served 954 individuals and organizations through our First Call service. 400 callers were given information, safety planning, and referrals to appropriate resources and program. The other 554 engaged in services with us. Systems Change & Macro Level Community WorkDAP has historically engaged in systems change work through participating on various city, county, state and national committees focused on better serving families and addressing the issue of domestic violence. This year, DAP brought on a systems advocate and coordinator to facilitate an interdisciplinary group that focuses on partnering with other local organizations as well as city of Minneapolis attorneys, Hennepin county attorneys, probation, the Minneapolis Police Department, and other system partners to implement solutions within the Minneapolis Police Department that will address gaps identified by this workgroup to better serve victims of domestic violence in seeking safety and addressing harm. This group worked together to create a trauma informed and evidence-based risk assessment that officers can use to prioritize cases and better serve the community. In addition, various members of the DAP team are also involved in committees and work groups that focus on skill building and self reflection when working with individuals who use harm, advocating for increased awareness of the experiences of criminalized survivors, equitable sentencing guidelines for felony cases, building increased knowledge of effective DV interventions within various communities, improving access to justice for survivors within Hennepin County's judicial system, reducing homelessness among victims of domestic violence, and creating statewide guidelines for working with individuals that use harm. 292529 The Advocacy Program provides free legal assistance, safety planning, and support addressing safety requirements, along with immediate aid for victims of domestic abuse and their families seeking refuge. This encompasses both the delivery of direct services and the facilitation of client referrals to community resources such as shelters, legal aid, financial assistance, therapy, and case management. Our direct services include comprehensive safety planning, the preparation of Orders of Protection, attendance at criminal court arraignments and requested hearings, assistance with Minnesota Family Investment Program applications, lease terminations, lock changes, and Safe at Home screenings. Additionally, we offer financial support to address safety needs, including the provision of security cameras, new doors, lock modifications, and other low-cost resources. The Advocacy Program is also piloting a free legal clinic, linking participants with volunteer attorneys for one hour of consultation. During this fiscal year, we identified and trained volunteers and established the necessary logistics to launch this program in October 2024. In FY24, the Domestic Advocacy Program served 309 advocacy clients. 122819 10279 Case Management is a direct service that is provided to clients in need of support outside of therapy or advocacy with the goals of safety and stabilization. Case management services are client-centered, trauma-informed and are provided for the purpose of facilitating access to, coordinating, and ensuring holistic care. By using a holistic approach this service accommodates drop-in, intermediate, and long-term case management needs. Support services include assessing and supporting basic needs, mental health and medical health referrals, and other referrals to community resources. Developing partnerships in the community is essential to the success of the case management program, which included 12 tabling events, 4 community DV101 trainings and 3 community service events supporting a variety of communities. Case Management's partnership with Hennepin County strengthens wrap around services to victims of domestic abuse by administering Coordinated Entry Assessments to gain access to housing referrals that increase safety for victims fleeing violence. In FY24 DAP served 328 clients/families through our case management programs. 1602906 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 62 0 1 57 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X X The Organization 6128747063 1121 NE Jackson St 105 Minneapolis MN 55413 Briana Al Taqatqa Chair 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Heather Ellis Vice Chair 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Dave Murphy Treasurer 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Parinaz Kassemi Secretary 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Cristina Archila Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Christin Crabtree Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Dedeaux-Ellis Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Fix Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Safiyyah Ford Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Francis Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Santina Melendez Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Ricciardi Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Eva Treuer Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Willes Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Amirthini Keefe Executive Director 46.00 X 130823 0 1058 130823 0 1058 1 0 0 0 0 150951 1388415 554792 2094158 Therapy fees 624100 183447 183447 183447 1836 1836 0 150951 30763 -30763 -30763 11118 0 11118 11118 2259796 194565 0 -28927 10279 10279 131811 105681 16395 9735 1228214 984871 152726 90617 7494 5957 948 589 75029 59639 9489 5901 99891 79402 12633 7856 25000 25000 51544 22446 11539 17559 5120 4557 244 319 40754 27949 5613 7192 139211 114662 18918 5631 164372 126872 23438 14062 7301 4431 1796 1074 17539 13947 2245 1347 26003 19762 3901 2340 Staff Training 19745 19096 649 Dues and subscriptions 11840 1559 8598 1683 Bank Fees 4078 1702 474 1902 Miscellaneous 2323 94 2153 76 2067548 1602906 296759 167883 100770 91919 91411 100164 165360 357333 17394 57717 37066 46108 299168 277345 20967 21823 44760 453370 477728 1128434 43187 80462 5983 420375 49170 500837 X 384574 443257 43984 184340 428558 627597 477728 1128434 192248 6791 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1304268 1512061 1706505 1828279 2094158 8445271 1304268 1512061 1706505 1828279 2094158 8445271 190416 8254855 46 61 53 658 1836 2654 5121 8751 31430 62905 183447 291654 8739579 29694 0.94450 0.95950 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 161093 150635 10458 138075 126710 11365 21823 Unemployment Trust 35072 Operating Right of Use Asset 418298 453370 Operating Lease Liability 420375 420375 X 2340014 6791 42664 49455 2290559 -30763 -30763 2259796 2140975 42664 30763 73427 2067548 0 2067548 Part X, Line 2: The Organization is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Minnesota Statute 290.05.
