• SAFETY SERVICES EVERY PERSON DESERVES TO LIVE A LIFE FREE OF VIOLENCE.1) CRISIS SERVICES: 932 ADULTS WERE SUPPORTED THROUGH TIMES OF CRISIS, INCLUDING 795 VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND 137 VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. ADVOCATES ON THE CRISIS LINE ANSWERED 431 CALLS AND ADVOCATES ASSISTED CLIENTS IN OBTAINING 32 ORDERS FOR PROTECTION. 99% OF CLIENTS REPORTED FEELING SAFER AND MORE AWARE OF WAYS TO PLAN FOR SAFETY AS A RESULT OF CVIC SERVICES. ELIZABETH (NAME AND SOME DETAILS CHANGED) CALLED CVIC SEEKING ASSISTANCE ON OBTAINING A PROTECTION ORDER. SINCE SHE LIVED IN A RURAL AREA, CVIC'S SPECIALIZED RURAL ADVOCATE FOLLOWED UP AND LET HER KNOW ABOUT THE RURAL OFFICE WHERE THEY COULD MEET TO MINIMIZE TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS. SHE MET WITH THE ADVOCATE AND RECEIVED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, SAFETY PLANNING, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND HOUSING ASSISTANCE. THE ADVOCATE ASSISTED HER WITH FILING A PETITION FOR AN EMERGENCY EX PARTE TEMPORARY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROTECTION ORDER. ELIZABETH WAS THEN CONNECTED WITH CVIC'S LEGAL SERVICES TO ENSURE SHE HAD LEGAL REPRESENTATION AT THE UPCOMING PROTECTION ORDER HEARING. THE RURAL ADVOCATE PROVIDED TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE TO GET THE CLIENT TO THE NECESSARY APPOINTMENTS TO INCREASE HER SAFETY. CVIC'S CLIENT ATTORNEY AND THE RURAL ADVOCATE PROVIDED ONGOING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY SERVICES THROUGH THE STRESSFUL PROCESS OF GOING TO COURT WITH THE HOPES OF GETTING THE TEMPORARY ORDER EXTENDED BEYOND THE INITIAL TWO WEEKS. HER ATTORNEY WAS SUCCESSFUL, AND THE COURT GRANTED AN EXTENDED ORDER WHICH PROVIDED LONG-TERM PROTECTION. ELIZABETH CONTINUED TO BENEFIT FROM CVIC'S HOLISTIC SERVICES, AND BEGAN RECEIVING ON-GOING THERAPEUTIC SERVICES TO HELP HER CONTINUE HER HEALING JOURNEY.2) SAFE SHELTER: 106 PEOPLE WERE SHELTERED FOR 4,403 NIGHTS AT MARY'S PLACE WHILE THEY WORKED TOWARD SAFE AND INDEPENDENT LIVES.3) SELF-SUFFICIENCY: 9 FAMILIES WITH 10 CHILDREN RECEIVED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING SERVICES/RENTAL ASSISTANCE. 328 INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED ASSISTANCE WITH HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, OR EDUCATION GOALS.4) CRIME VICTIM ADVOCACY: 1,499 VICTIMS AND WITNESSES OF CRIMES RECEIVED CASE INFORMATION AND SUPPORT THROUGH CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. CVIC'S VICTIM WITNESS SPECIALISTS ATTENDED 1,853 COURT HEARINGS WITH OR ON BEHALF OF CRIME VICTIMS AND ARRANGED AND ATTENDED 339 MEETINGS BETWEEN CRIME VICTIMS AND PROSECUTORS.SIDNEY (NAME AND SOME DETAILS CHANGED) WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN HER DORM WHILE UNCONSCIOUS AFTER ATTENDING A HOUSE PARTY. ON THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME, THE DEFENDANT LIED TO SIDNEY'S DESIGNATED DRIVER THAT HE, LIKE HER, LIVED IN THE GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE DORMS. THE DESIGNATED DRIVER THOUGHT HE HAD LEFT SIDNEY SAFELY IN HER DORM, AND THAT SHE HAD LOCKED THE DOOR. HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT WENT BACK TO HER DORM ROOM, ENTERED WITHOUT PERMISSION, AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH GROSS SEXUAL IMPOSITION AND BURGLARY SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE INCIDENT. CVIC'S SPECIALIST AND THE BASE ADVOCATE KEPT SIDNEY APPRISED OF DEVELOPMENTS AS THE CASE WAS BEING PROSECUTED. IN THE INITIAL STAGES, SIDNEY JUST WANTED THE UPDATES. HOWEVER, SHE EVENTUALLY DECIDED SHE WANTED TO PROVIDE INPUT AND PARTICIPATE. WHEN AN AGREEMENT COULDN'T BE REACHED, A TRIAL WAS SCHEDULED. BUT THE TRIAL WAS CONTINUED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES DUE TO A VARIETY OF REASONS INCLUDING A DIFFERENT DEFENSE ATTORNEY, PROSECUTOR, AND EVEN A DIFFERENT JUDGE BEING ASSIGNED. THIS ADDED TO THE STRESS AND STRAIN FOR SIDNEY AND THE OTHER WITNESSES INVOLVEDMANY HAD MOVED OUT OF STATE AND EVEN TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. THIS REQUIRED THE SPECIALIST TO PAY ADDITIONAL ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHEN SCHEDULING WITNESS PREPARATION MEETINGS IN DIFFERENT TIME ZONES ACROSS THE WORLD, ADJUST HER PHONE PLAN FOR INTERNATIONAL CALLS, AND TAKE MEETINGS BEFORE AND AFTER WORK, AND EVEN ON WEEKENDS. THE SPECIALIST ALSO TACTFULLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF AN EDUCATIONAL MOMENT TO EXPLAIN TRAUMA RESPONSE TO A WITNESS AFTER THEY MADE COMMENTS THAT SHAMED THE VICTIM. WITH A NEW PROSECUTOR ASSIGNED, SIDNEY DISCUSSED WITH CVIC'S SPECIALIST, THE BASE ADVOCATE, AND THE PROSECUTOR WHAT THEY IDENTIFIED AS BEING THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE CASE AS WELL AS SENTENCES OTHER DEFENDANTS RECEIVED IN SIMILAR CASES. AFTER TAKING ALL THE INFORMATION INTO CONSIDERATION, SIDNEY SUPPORTED THE STATE OFFERING A DEFERRED PROSECUTION FOR TWO YEARS WITH CONDITIONS THAT THE DEFENDANT HAVE NO CONTACT WITH HER, AND THAT HE COMPLETE A CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY EVALUATION. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS FAR FROM THE OUTCOME SIDNEY WANTED, SHE RELAYED FEELINGS OF RELIEF FOR NOT HAVING TO COME TO GRAND FORKS TO TESTIFY AND RELIVE HER TRAUMA.5) LETHALITY ASSESSMENT: 132 INDIVIDUALS WERE SCREENED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, WITH 64% FOUND TO BE IN HIGH DANGER. 42 VICTIMS SPOKE WITH A CVIC ADVOCATE ABOUT WHAT SERVICES AREA AVAILABLE TO KEEP THEM SAFE.6) SUPERVISED VISITATION: 85 FAMILIES WERE SUPPORTED DURING 1,055 SUPERVISED VISITS AND 536 SUPERVISED EXCHANGES. 97% OF ADULT PARTICIPANTS SURVEYED AGREED THEY FELT THAT THEY AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE SAFE WHILE USING THESE SERVICES.7) VIOLENCE INTERVENTION: 164 NEW MEN AND WOMEN WERE SERVED IN THE NEW CHOICES PROGRAM, ADDRESSING THEIR USE OF VIOLENCE AND PROMOTING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE HARM THEY HAVE CAUSED TO OTHERS. 92 PARTICIPANTS WERE ALSO ORDERED INTO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT, THE SPECIALIZED POST-SENTENCING REVIEW COURT THAT WORKS TO HOLD INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNTABLE, MONITOR SENTENCING PROGRESS, AND ENCOURAGE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION. THE NEW CHOICES PARTNER CONTACT REACHED OUT TO125 PARTNERS OF NEW CHOICES PARTICIPANTS TO KEEP THEM INFORMED OF THE PARTICIPANT'S STATUS AND PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT CVIC SERVICES; OF THE PARTNERS CONTACTED, 54 RECEIVED CVIC ADVOCACY SERVICES. A PARTICIPANT SHARED, "I ONCE BELIEVED THAT I WAS ALWAYS RIGHTAND THAT'S NONSENSE! NO ONE IS EVER 'ALWAYS RIGHT.'

WITH A FULLY STAFFED YOUTH THERAPY TEAM, THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF THERAPY SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOUTH THIS YEAR, COMPARED WITH 2023. WE ADDED A RURAL YOUTH THERAPIST IN APRIL WHICH LED TO AN INCREASE IN REFERRALS FROM RURAL SCHOOLS, WITH 10 RURAL YOUTH CURRENTLY ON THE WAITING LIST. OUR RURAL YOUTH THERAPIST HAS A FULL CASELOAD AND IS PROVIDING SERVICES TO YOUTH AT FIVE SCHOOLS. THE NUMBER OF YOUTH PROVIDED INDIVIDUAL/FAMILY THERAPY HAS INCREASED 86% AND THE NUMBER OF SESSIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL/FAMILY CLIENTS INCREASED 216%.

MAYA (NAME AND SOME DETAILS CHANGED) SOUGHT OUT THERAPY TO HELP PROCESS AND WORK THROUGH THINGS THAT SHE DEALT WITH NOT ONLY AS A CHILD, BUT ALSO IS CONTINUING TO DEAL WITH AS A YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT. GROWING UP, SHE FELT AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT FEELINGS IN HER HOME, AND ENDURED EMOTIONAL ABUSE FROM HER PARENT, WHICH HAS CONTINUED INTO HER ADULTHOOD. THIS EMOTIONAL ABUSE OFTEN CAUSED HER TO HAVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT HERSELF SUCH AS, "I AM UNWORTHY, AND MADE HER FEEL AN INCREDIBLE SENSE OF SELF-DOUBT AND DISAPPOINTMENT. THROUGH EMDR, MAYA HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROCESS THESE FEELINGS, CHALLENGE THOSE THOUGHTS, AND COME TO THE POINT OF BELIEVING THAT SHE IS WORTHY, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND STRONG. SHE IS CONTINUING TO SET BOUNDARIES WITH HER PARENT AND STAND UP FOR HERSELF BY COMMUNICATING TO HER PARENT THAT SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED POORLY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
