It is Santa Barbara County\u2019s only full-service domestic violence agency, committed to ending the cycle of domestic violence through prevention and intervention services.<\/p>\n<p>With support from state and federal funds, grants and corporate and private donations, DVS provides the county\u2019s only 24-hour shelter service, as well as the county\u2019s only transitional housing program for domestic violence survivors.<\/p>\n<p>To fully illustrate its impact and the need for such services in Santa Barbara County, in 2017 DVS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Answered almost 5,000 calls to its 24-hour crisis and information lines<\/li>\n<li>Provided 4,687 safe nights to victims of domestic violence<\/li>\n<li>Responded to over 472 calls from law enforcement and emergency rooms at the victims\u2019 location<\/li>\n<li>Participated in 244 educational and outreach events throughout the community<\/li>\n<li>Sheltered as many children as adult victims of domestic violence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Yardi Foundation is a longtime support of DVS\u2019 work to help domestic violence survivors and their families get back on their feet, and educate the community at large about how to stop the pervasive cycle of violence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re very grateful for the support we\u2019ve gotten from Yardi. They&#8217;re a wonderful Santa Barbara company and we truly appreciate their contributions,&#8221; said DVS executive director Jan Campbell, the former chief philanthropic officer of the Santa Barbara Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell, who took on the head role at DVS in March of this year, says that while she had always supported the organization\u2019s work as a member of the community, the devastating impacts of domestic violence that she has observed while leading the non-profit have floored her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has really hit home to me is the effect that domestic violence has on children. When I started here, I did not realize that half the people who come into our shelters as a result of domestic violence are children. As a parent myself, it\u2019s heartbreaking. Their reactions range from everything from complete emotional shutdown to violent behavior, and it\u2019s especially terrible for infants, who are perhaps the most adversely affected. Their brains are still developing, and they simply do not know how to process the situation,\u201d said Campbell,<\/p>\n<p>Since taking on the executive director role, she has worked to make improvements to DVS\u2019 administrative and residential facilities, upgrade and improve its IT and phone systems and client tracking database, and foster staff development.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell and her staff of 22 are also making progress on the effort to ultimately eradicate domestic violence from the community. Preventative education for teens is a priority, and a $45,000 fundraising campaign focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/teachthechildren.funraise.org\/\">domestic violence awareness among teens<\/a> is currently underway.<\/p>\n<p>For those struggling with domestic violence today, DVS programming includes emergency shelter housing, which often operates at full capacity in both the South and North Counties.<\/p>\n<p>Clients can remain in a DVS shelter for 45 days. If further support is needed, they can move into a transitional housing program. For up to 18 months, clients receive assistance with job searches, parenting skills, managing finances, and clinical support. Children receive specialized counseling, play therapy, and after school care. To protect victims\u2019 privacy, all services are confidential and recipients\u2019 identities are protected throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p>To offer your support for prevention and intervention services through Domestic Violence Solutions, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvsolutions.org\">www.dvsolutions.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Santa Barbara County\u2019s Domestic Violence Solutions (DVS) has planned weekly events to bring this societal epidemic out of the shadows and into the light. &nbsp; Candlelight vigils to bring attention to the prevalence of domestic violence across America are set for Lompoc (Oct. 11), Santa Maria (Oct. 18) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":413,"featured_media":21007,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_s2mail":"yes","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1717,3354],"tags":[1759,2188,98],"class_list":["post-21006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-giving","category-team-yardi","tag-giving","tag-santa-barbara-county","tag-yardi-corporate-philanthropy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
