After a recent positive evaluation, the New York City Administration for Children\u2019s Services (ACS) has announced the expansion of \u201cA Safe Way Forward\u201d — a prevention services program that provides support to survivors of domestic violence, as well as the persons who are causing them harm.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our mission to protect children and support families, ACS and our partners are working to address the root causes of family violence while we help survivors and children stay safe,\u201d said ACS commissioner Jess Dannhauser. \u201cI\u2019m pleased by the results of our recent evaluation, which suggests that \u201cA Safe Way Forward\u201d is having a positive impact on families affected by intimate partner violence, and I look forward to expanding the program to three boroughs: Staten Island, the Bronx and now, Brooklyn.\u201d<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally launched in 2019 as a demonstration project for families in the Bronx and Staten Island<\/span>, the program, which provides services to survivors and the children in their household, enjoyed many positive outcomes, according to an evaluation by ACS officials.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Survivors described increased self-esteem and increased confidence in their ability to execute a safety plan, and make decisions that would keep their family safe. And the interventions for the persons causing harm resulted in many behavioral changes, oftentimes ending the cycle of violence. When asked how the program was helping them to make progress toward their goals, both survivors and persons causing harm praised the program\u2019s \u201cconcrete assistance and clinical work,\u201d and showed appreciation for a staff that \u201chelped them by listening, being understanding, offering suggestions and advice, and just being there.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that domestic violence and child abuse frequently co-occur<\/em>,\u201d said Liz Roberts, CEO of Safe Horizon<\/a>. \u201cSafe Way Forward offers an innovative and holistic response to families in which domestic violence presents serious risks to children. In this model, we provide trauma-focused care to the whole family, including the person who has caused harm, while maintaining an unwavering focus on safety for both adult survivors and children. \u2018A Safe Way Forward\u2019 responds to longstanding gaps in care for families affected by domestic violence, and we welcome this expansion. We are proud to be a partner and service provider for this important program<\/em>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ACS, which administers over 135 programs and helps more than 15,000 families<\/strong> each year with supports like family therapy, mental health counseling and substance misuse treatment, says the goal of this particular program is to promote behavior change and protect the safety of the survivor and children, interrupting the intergenerational impact that intimate partner violence can have on families.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have always said that I don\u2019t know what would have become of me if they hadn\u2019t helped me,\u201d one survivor noted during an evaluation of the program. \u201cSo, I would recommend them and I would say that what helped us the most was that they provided us with counseling, which was what helped us to get ahead. So, I think their objective is that the families do not feel alone<\/strong>, that despite what they went through there are more people who can look out for them.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Administration for Children\u2019s Services<\/a> announced on Monday an expansion of the \u201cA Safe Way Forward\u201d program, which seeks to provide support to the survivors of domestic violence and intimate partner violence, along with the \u201cpersons causing harm\u201d and their children.<\/p>\r\n

Previously, the project offered services to families in The Bronx and Staten Island. The ACS is now partnering with three providers and will expand to serve families in Brooklyn through MercyFirst<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Other contractors partnering with the ACS through the expansion include Safe <\/strong>Horizon in Staten Island and the Children\u2019s Aid Society<\/strong> location itself in The Bronx.\u201cIn our mission to protect children and support families, ACS and our partners are working to address the root causes of family violence while we help survivors and children stay safe. That\u2019s why \u2018A Safe Way Forward\u2019 provides services to survivors of intimate partner violence and the children in the household, including information about how to make an effective safety plan, as well as interventions for the persons causing harm so that they can work towards changing their behavior and end the cycle of violence,\u201d said Commissioner Jess Dannhauser.<\/p>\r\n

In 2019, A Safe Way Forward<\/strong> was launched for specifically families receiving court-ordered supervision. According to the ACS, the program was launched over 12 months of research including interviews with over 100 national experts and close collaboration with the Mayor\u2019s office.<\/p>\r\n

The program offers case planning therapeutic services to the survivor, children and person causing harm. The person causing harm being involved, if safe to do so, provides them a greater opportunity to \u201clearn more about the triggers and how their behavior is impacting the family,\u201d according to the ACS.<\/p>\r\n

The goal of the program is to interrupt the intergenerational impact that <\/strong>domestic violence can have on families<\/strong>, specifically to create behavior change and protect the survivor and children. An evaluation by Westat, a research corporation, found that people involved in the program yields positive results and high levels of satisfaction.<\/p>\r\nRead the full article here.\u00a0<\/a><\/em>","post_title":"Administration For Children's Services Expands 'A Safe Way Forward' To Brooklyn","post_excerpt":"Safe Horizon partners with The Administration of Children's Services towards the expansion of the \"A Safe Way Forward\" program to serve more families throughout Brooklyn.
