Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
1)OPT FOR OPTIMISM PROGRAM The optimism program has been operational in the Eugene, Oregon area for more than two years. It emerged in response to the community schisms caused by presidential candidate political maneuvering using hate and misogynist arguments, that put minority populations in peril. A volunteer stepped up to remind the community of its happiness and connectedness, by appealing creating a road-side music-hub for the community to Elect Dance. The central message of the Optimism program is radical self-acceptance and respect for others and their differences. The CONNECT Board believes that this program helps reduce interpersonal violence of all kinds. The Opt for Optimism movement grows as its message of increased inter-connection as a better response to harmful messages that incite division, is embraced. Its brand is on t-shirts and sweatshirts around the world. CONNECT sees the Optimism movement as a key connector of all other programs CONNECT may offer, as Opt for Optimism is a perfect, positive path into the hearts and minds of the average person and the oppressed. It builds our common ground and connectedness. 2)EDUCATE THE FUTURE PROGRAM This program emerged in response to the repeated stalling of known-to-be-necessary upgrades to public high school health classes, including the need to teach healthy relationship dynamics and recognition of controlling behaviors/domestic violence. Many non-profits including Domestic Violence Safe Dialogue and SCARS worked hard to plan and accomplish meetings with law, enforcement, DHS and school districts to persuade the powers that be that inasmuch as it is still the case that 1 in 3 households report experiencing domestic violence and inasmuch as victims indicate that the time period in which they might have been able to avoid becoming the target of abuse is high school at the latest, all parties agreed that teaching these subjects needed to change and then nothing changed. Educate the Future is CONNECTs answer to the stubborn status quo its mission is to craft the necessary, new teaching materials and offer them to public high schools as ready-made courses. MENTORSHIP Educate the Future has the primary goal of crafting and implementing a secondary education (high school level) health class that addresses current inadequacies, especially education around domestic violence/power and control dynamics. Educate the Future will work with multiple curriculum providers and specialists to arrive at its final product and it is expected that some side-interests might emerge and seek CONNECT collaboration. CONNECT to offer this collaboration under an MOU-agreement, under each of its programs but specifically to begin under the Educate the Future program. 3)BELOVED HOME PROGRAM By far, the number one obstacle to leaving an abuser is lack of housing, even after decades of consolidation of DV programs into county hubs for efficiency. Nearly all families that approach county DV hubs for help are not removed from their danger. The BeLoved Home program intends to provide the social system and program support for the other entities with exempt purpose to offer 24-month grant housing for families escaping or recovering from domestic violence, including programs for assessment of the post-abuse new normal, facilitation toward most-safe divorce decrees as the victims are not forced to expose their children as a way to gain agreement for child support, some trauma-informed relearning of basic home skills, as many DV survivors cannot feed or dress themselves or their children, having done so under threat for extended periods of time. 4)POST SEPARATION ABUSE SERVICES, CLASSES and RETREATS After a victim escapes domestic violence, the victim can sometimes continue to be abused in what is called Post Separation Abuse, which can include financial persecution (withholding funds, controlling the victim through financial oppression) court abuse (charging the victim with crimes or with allegations for which the victim must hire attorneys to defend themselves) mis-treatment of children (treating a child above or below age and development, manipulating the co-parent by incorporating children into the parent-conflict, etc) and many other abuses which have continued control and power over the victim(s) as their goal. CONNECT proposes to offer classes, services and retreat-spaces where the victim and children may recharge their emotional batteries and obtain physical and emotional care during post-separation abuse. 5)DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (DVOT) PROGRAM People who have been abuse experience brain-trauma like a powerful concussion, even when there was no hitting. The memory and senses of DV survivors are unable to utilize the same pathways they have in the past, while in recovery. Prior to /simultaneous to assessment for disability or PTSD, those who have been abused need a restful, trauma-informed activity that does not use older, stressed systems. It is not unusual for a domestic violence/abuse victim to lose the ability to talk normally, walk normally, physically navigate from one location to another (whether due to disorientation or PTSD-triggering associated with the process of traveling), read mail or even open it, communicate with courts, law enforcement, medical staff, focus in order to remember, remember action items from one day to the next, plan and execute actions from a future goal backwards to the present, talk to clients, customers, work-mates of various kinds, become aware again of bodily sensation including hunger and fatigue lost due to adrenal burn-out, and all such tasks that assist the brain to return from survival response mode of the hyper-vigilant reptile or mammal brain to the reasoning mode of the frontal cortex of the brain. DV survivors are sometimes motivated not to get the help they need because of legal abuse/post-separation abuse of threatening to access/gain control or custody of children if the survivor admits to needing treatment of any kind. This author is aware of one case in which the survivor lost custody due to the permanent disability because of injury caused by the abusers attack. Survivors have reasons for concealing their distress, and yet often need lengthy (6-12 months) occupational therapy to begin functioning again. While there are many courses offered on self-care, there are currently no programs in Oregon for actual individualized domestic violence physical and mental rehabilitation through occupational therapy. Participants in CONNECTs DVOT programs must provide a doctors recommendation letter, which must address any physical limits, and a therapists diagnosis of PTSD or recommendation for a domestic violence occupational therapy program and must have on-going medical and psychological supervision. DVOT participants may have all fees for OT services waived (DVOT providers may be supported by government programs, sale of products, grants, or contributions). Given the risks to survivors who acknowledge the temporary or permanent disability due to domestic violence, To Whom it May Concern letters re: a DVOT participant may be represented as Skills Enhancement, Education, or the like. Several parties have been approached to consider providing DVOT tasks and services that have sufficient likeness to paths DV survivors may consider for self-sufficiency. The new normal after DV involves re-assessment of a survivors previous skills, now broken down by trauma. A survivor who previously worked as a health professional may find that they cannot interact with the public and need to engage in the training for another field in which there is little face to face communication. A survivor that managed an office may find that she can no longer answer phones due to DV trauma and stalking PTSD, and so may need a field without telephones, etc. etc. Life after DV often looks quite different based on what skills a survivor could find for informal occupational therapy by friends or kindly organizations. It is likely that the greater the skill-set we are able to bring to the DVOT program, the better the long-term outcomes for survivors will be. CONNECT is motivated to find providers of skills that can translate to the financial future for each DV survivor. CONNECT to combine DVOT skills providers with OT planning and supervision. CONNECT to contract with skills providers/engage gov program OT programs for DV survivors for CONNECT DVOT settings such as: gardening, farming, animal-care, processing of crops/milling, honey husbandry / distribution in markets, personal support worker, secretarial/ paralegal/legal, data-entry, nail care and cosmetology, unskilled to skilled contracting work including job-site clean-up, property maintenance, fitness instructor, cook, food prep and menu-planning, basic to advanced accounting or tax preparation, and any other skills-building opportunities that CONNECT may feasibly offer that provide DVOT.
