Highlights from our latest meeting
This month's meeting theme
Our latest monthly meeting focused on bringing partners together around Domestic Violence community needs and how shared resources can support Clay area families.
Key discussion takeaways
- Needs named: a shelter which takes pets, beds for men, and funding.
- More than one organization is at work here. Panelists from the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Quigley House, and the Veteran's Administration joined the conversation.
- The community named further needs: affordable services with access to funds; more beds for males, and locations which can accommodate pets; more and quicker therapy (including for children); and civil legal help.
- A data gap: outcome data after the fact. We know who was served, but not what happened next.
- Operation Hope offers financial planning support which can help people succeed.
- The My Plan app helps a person build a safety plan to leave a domestic violence situation. It has an incognito mode.
