If you have any questions please e-mail jade@safe4all.org - and please put 'support group' in the subject line. Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:23:11 GMT http://www.safe4all.org/news/item?item%5fid=65324 http://www.safe4all.org/news/item?item%5fid=65324 This podcast is extremely important! This show is in part about the "Coaching Boys Not To Abuse" program and "curriculum" (part 1) but there is also some additional insight into the use of the DV system to abuse innocent people.(part 2) and this interview is done by a woman. She also speaks openly about the damage that families have suffered due to the bias that has been encouraged by the Domestic Violence "industry". Please listen to the show by going to http://www.wgy.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=al_roney.xml and scrolling down to "Domestic Violence Campaign (pts.1 & 2)" SAFE-NH has sent several letters to this Coach Your Boys Campaign since it's launch a couple of years ago, http://endabuse.org/programs/display.php3?DocID=9916 telling them that this is a discriminatory program. We suggested to them that they should consider supporting campaigns that teach both boys and girls not to be abusive to anyone and to respect EVERYONE!. However, they have never bothered to respond. We also have always said that this is curriculum is unfair and harmful to boys! National Partners of this Campaign: http://endabuse.org/programs/display.php3?DocID=9914 Local Partners: http://endabuse.org/programs/display.php3?DocID=100210 Please listen to this interview and let me know your thoughts...this is much the same as we have been expressing at SAFE-NH for over 5 years! Maybe it's time to contact the list of Corporations that are listed as "Partners" in this campaign and suggest that they financially support programs that are making an "honest" effort to "Stop Abuse For Everyone", rather than biased organizations that erode families and our communities by discriminating against males of all ages! Their "customers" are men and women, so both men and ethical women should take a stand on this for their sons. They must also take a stand for their daughters, or they will get the message that their violent acts are excusable or worse yet ,the misguided perception that their violence is a sign of female empowerment. When everyone regardless of gender is treated, supported and respected equally we will see that there are ways to make our families and our communities safer for everyone! It's no longer acceptable for Domestic Violence to be the meal ticket for programs that focus on getting the financial gravy train to stop at their door at the expense of families and valid victims of abuse! It IS time for funding to be given to organizations that are honestly trying to protect people and heal our communities with non- biased approaches! We must hold abusive people accountable but we must also hold organizations accountable for their abusive actions as well. Organizations that are money-driven and willfully discriminate even after they know the facts, need to suffer the consequences by losing their funding to others who treat all people equally and with dignity. Let's join together and help new perspectives and approaches to reach their tipping point so that families can thrive and once again become a strong part of the fabric of our communities!

Jade Rubick, president of SAFE, said, "This donation could not have come at a better time. We do an amazing amount with a little bit of money, and sometimes we get close to the bottom of the barrel. These students really helped us continue to offer the innovative programs that are inclusive of all domestic violence victims. Thank you so much!" Stop Abuse For Everyone program have been named one of the 50 most promising in the country to combat domestic violence (http://store.yahoo.com/mcgruff/50strattopre.html).

This support group for male victims of domestic violence served an important, valuable role. We are working on an innovative replacement for this program, which we hope to unveil soon. We previously had a volunteer who was helping run the support group, and we'd like to thank them for their help in making the support group a place a refuge for abused men in Portland.

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:24:39 GMT http://www.safe4all.org/news/item?item%5fid=62316 http://www.safe4all.org/news/item?item%5fid=62316 You'll see a new telephone number listed for SAFE, at http://www.safe4all.org/info Fri, 02 Nov 2007 23:42:21 GMT http://www.safe4all.org/news/item?item%5fid=55589 http://www.safe4all.org/news/item?item%5fid=55589 Dear Friend: It's that time of year when you get inundated with mail from charitable organizations looking for your tax-deductible contribution. We know there are many worthwhile groups competing for your contribution. So why give to Stop Abuse For Everyone? Stop Abuse For Everyone provides services to domestic violence victims that few organizations will help: we serve men and women, straight and gay, young and old, and focus on those that are left out the most. No other organization has such an inclusive vision and national reach, and a proven track record of making a difference for abused men, for GLBT victims, for teen violence victims and elderly abuse victims. The National Crime Prevention Council (the McGruff take a bite out of crime' non-profit arm of the US Justice Dept.) has selected SAFE as one of the nation's top programs for prevention of violent domestic crime. Dear Abby has personally contributed to our organization for several years, and featured us in her column. CNN, FOX News (several times), The John Walsh Show, The US and Canadian nationally distributed Associated Press, are just a few of the national news media that have featured SAFE, the scores of local newspapers, regional magazines and broadcast news outlets are too many to mention here, but are listed on the website. You're giving to a responsible, transparent organization. Our yearly reports,including financial reports, are available on our website: . http://www.safe4all.org/download and we are listed on Guidestar. Here are some of the ways your donation will help: ? $50 lets us register a chapter in a new state, which allows volunteers in that area to mobilize to provide direct services. ? $100 will allow us to print up domestic violence brochures in a new language. Our brochures are unique, often the first publication to serve these populations in that language, so it can have a huge impact. ? $200 will allow us to pay for basic operations for one of our state court-advocacy and other direct services programs for one month. This program helps victims of domestic violence avoid being further victimized by their abusers in the legal system, and helps protect them and their families, while providing emotional support and options for them to move forward in a life without abuse. ? $300 will help us produce new brochures to address for example, teen dating violence (a huge un-addressed problem), elderly partner/adult child abuse, and severe sibling abuse brochures. ? $1,000 will help pay for a trip to a conference or training, where we help to train and teach service providers how to offer inclusive services. This is often the most effective way to make changes possible, as we can often reach hundreds of people in one visit, and have each of these service providers offer better services. ? Donations of your volunteer time and skills are also considered very important for us to remain readily available to anyone in need of our support and services. Stop Abuse For Everyone has services and programs that no other organization provides, and that is why your contribution makes such a difference. A small amount of money in the right place can make a larger difference when applied to an un-addressed need. Besides direct services that no one else provides, we continue to make great strides in our central effort to encourage a holistic approach to domestic violence interventions based on sound research and measured outcomes. We address real needs and gaps in family violence intervention. We provide a 'consumer rated' victim resource list, and publish the only nationally available brochures for heterosexual male, gay, lesbian bisexual and transgender victims of domestic abuse. These are but a few examples of the work done recently by SAFE Speaker Bureau and the SAFE International Board members. ? Linda Mills, Ph.D. Vice Provost of New York University, has written a book: Insult to Injury- Rethinking Our Responses to Intimate Abuse, she has appeared before the National Press Club, and was interviewed by the New York Times Magazine and has been instrumental in planning for our first national conference at NYU. ? Board Member Jack Turteltaub, Ph.D. was selected by the National Organization for Women to participate in the Gay & Lesbian Task Force on changes to the Violence Against Women Act. ? Victim Advocate Stanley Green has testified several times before the National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women in Washington DC. A set of recommendations for Violence Against Women Act changes and funding was requested by and submitted to Senator Orin Hatch and the US Justice Department. ? Executive Director, Lee Newman has run the NH Chapter for 4 years and he has appeared in the media regularly in his region. He has also testified at the National Advisory Committee on VAWA and has presented at a luncheon in DC sponsored by the Independent Women's Forum, while attending the invitation only VAWA Symposium. He also currently serves as Chair of a Domestic Violence Coordinating Council in NH and is a Board member of NH TREE (NH Transgender Resources for Education and Empowerment). He is also a member of the Council for Domestic Violence Justice (National), The VAWA Reform Coalition (National), is a Charter member of The Kid's First Coalition and a regular contributor to the NH Commission on the Status of Men.
