Agency Update - Letetia Wilson, Executive Director In honor of Teen Dating Violence Awareness month this February, I would like to highlight CARDV’s Community Education program. We are happy to share that CARDV’s Community Education program is growing and we are connecting with more teens now than ever. The Community Education program is facilitated by CARDV Advocates who present to local area middle and high schools. Presentation topics include healthy relationships, consent, and how to help a friend or family member who is experiencing violence or has experienced violence in the past. We are so appreciative of local area teachers and school administrations who have invited CARDV into
classrooms. We could not make these connections without them. In an effort to better meet teens’ needs for advocacy, we have partnered with the National Network to End Violence to add a chat line for survivors to connect with an Advocate. While anyone can use this service, teens may be more likely to access CARDV services through a chat line if they are more comfortable typing than talking. Once our chat lines are in place, survivors and their allies will have a safe place online to access information, safe adults to chat with about their relationships and experiences, and a better link to all of CARDV’s Advocacy services. We are excited to offer this pilot program. Comments can be sent to Letetia Wilson at [email protected] or (541) 758-0219 x304.

Advocate for Social Justice Award We are proud to announce Rebecca Moyes as the 2018 Mary Zelinka Advocate for Social Justice awardee. This is the highest honor that CARDV reserves for a member of the community who goes above and beyond in their field to serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence. As a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) at Sarah’s Place located in Samaritan Albany General Hospital, Rebecca’s role is to provide medical services to survivors who experience sexual assault. Through this role, she is able to provide information and resources for survivors of sexual violence while empowering them to make informed decisions. She has used her position and expertise to also focus on prevention by educating youth in our community about sexual assault. In partnership with CARDV, Rebecca has facilitated presentations to local area schools where she discusses sexual violence, consent, how to support a friend and access services. Thanks to Rebecca, students in our community know how to support someone experiencing violence, medical and advocacy resources available, and that violence is never the survivor’s fault. Now students can join us in changing the culture.
Congratulations! Thank you so much for all of your hard work Rebecca!
