“People don’t live in silos, and these families aren’t split into silos,” Spann said. “If we’re really going to do something about victimization, we have to talk about it across a full life spectrum for a family, and we have to talk about the various types of violence. All are bad, and all need to end.”
“The umbrella structure enables them to maintain their strong brand identities while saving almost $300,000 a year in benefits, salaries and contract services.”
“The purpose of the alliance is to improve services for clients of both agencies, work to change the systems and assumptions that reinforce the cycle of violence in families, and allocate scarce resources more efficiently.”
“Austin Children’s Shelter houses youths removed from their homes because of suspected abuse or neglect. SafePlace helps women and children affected by domestic abuse or sexual violence. Those missions overlap, which made the alliance a natural fit, White said. “These issues are linked,” she said. “They do not happen in silos.”
“Family violence affects more than 18,000 Austin women and children each year. Now two local non-profit groups are joining forces to address the problem.”
“This week the news came out that SafePlace and the Austin Children’s Shelter, two Austin organizations that serve adult and child victims of domestic and sexual violence and abuse, have combined forces to set up LIFT: An Alliance to End Abuse.”
“Austin Children’s Shelter (ACS) and SafePlace today announced the formation of the LIFT Alliance to combat child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. The purpose of the Alliance is to improve services for clients of both agencies, work to change the systems and assumptions that reinforce the cycle of violence in families, and allocate scarce resources more efficiently.”
