Office of Attorney General Bryan Sellers, Detective City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Ryan Sims Google Sharon Soodik Community Volunteer Angharad Stock Fifth Judicial District of Pennsylvania Adapting to Covid Since the beginning of the pandemic PAAR has remained operational 24-7 to support survivors of sexual violence. Survivors in our community need help more than ever before, and we are committed to providing innovative solutions to ensure survivors access to critical services. Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, our services were mainly in-person. On March 14, 2020 PAAR made a decision to transition to providing services almost 100% virtually – and we are proud that on the following Monday morning we were business as usual. For the safety of our clients and staff we transitioned to providing therapy via telehealth, a service we had not previously offered. Our Victim Response team continued to accompany clients to emergency rooms and on police interviews when possible and also began utilizing online platforms through Zoom as a way to stay connected to clients when in person wasn’t possible. Our educators and advocates immediately developed remote and virtual trainings on a variety of topics for professionals and the general public. These changes brought about some unanticipated needs and community funders answered our call. We were able to purchase all new chairs that can be easily disinfected for clients and staff, new computer equipment to allow our therapists all of the best technology for telehealth and masks and hand sanitizers for all staff and clients. PAAR’s role and responsibilities to the survivors and our community have not and will not change – no matter what challenges we face. Support Groups PAAR is Virtual Trainings PAAR’s Virtual Groups are inclusive of any gender identification PAAR’s remote and virtual trainings are on a variety of topics geared and expression over the age of 18 and will provide toward those in a professional capacity and also some specially procured psychoeducation around the impact of sexual trauma, and for anyone to attend. Topics include survivors will be provided with the support and encouragement “Wellness in the COVID-19 Crisis,” from each other. Our goal is to help survivors learn healthy coping and “Understanding Trauma and skills and self-care practices, explore feelings and develop healthy Sexual Violence.” Our goal is strategies to understand difficult emotions, enhance self-esteem continue to provide training and and assertiveness skills and gain the necessary sills to build healthy help throughout the community any boundaries and identify support networks. way possible. PAAR is here for you. Now, and always. Changing Outcomes Through Prevention Sexual violence disrupts the lives of survivors and those who care about them. PAAR is committed to providing education about sexual violence and how to support survivors, as well as how to create cultures that prevent sexual violence in the first place. Youth Through skills based learning we educate and encourage youth to make healthy decisions and empower them to challenge unsafe decisions of others. Families We empower and develop skills of parents in keeping all children safe through intervening in unhealthy situations. Communities We educate our community members so they understand their part in making Allegheny County a safer place to live. Professionals We actively work with local professionals in increasing their awareness of sexual violence and how their work can impact our mission. Prevention in Schools Prevention in our Community Trainings to professionals and K-12 Students: 10,587 community members: 7,133 College students: 3,306 Coaches and athletes: 1,881 Each year, nearly 23,000 people, including school-aged children, teachers, parents and professionals, participate in the PAAR’s prevention and training programs. PAAR’s Education Team is working across all Woodland Hills Elementary Helping to Create Student Advocacy and Middle Schools. There we provided multi-session classroom workshops on boundaries, sexual harassment/harassment and bystander intervention. Accompanying the classroom workshops PAAR implemented the social norms approach to prevention program. Using student feedback and surveys, around helping a friend being harassed, PAAR worked closely with a small group of students at each elementary school to create prevention messaging targeting bystander intervention. These posters were designed, using Canva, with 5th grade student input at every stage – idea, pictures, colors, wording, etc. Peer-to-peer positive messages encouraging students to intervene in situations of sexual harassment/harassment help to correct misperceptions students have Actual posters created by WHSD Students that no one would step up to help a friend. Volunteers Over 95 volunteers donated 21,125 hours of their time valued at $537,208 to answer Helpline calls and accompany survivors to Emergency Departments. Volunteering with PAAR is an opportunity to support survivors and to become an active part of the movement to end sexual violence. What volunteering means to me... I choose to volunteer at PAAR because the organization hits close to home. I am currently a remote volunteer on the Sexual Assault “Helpline. PAAR gave me the opportunity to dig deeper into figuring out the focus of help that I want to give individuals, which is with Sexual Assault/Rape crimes. PAAR has allowed me to expand my knowledge in so many things like Crisis Intervention, Resource Referrals, Child Line Certified, etc. PAAR is such an amazing organization that allows me to not only help individuals in what I want to specialize in, but also in the area’s surrounding where I grew up. - PAAR“ Volunteer PAAR’s Victim Response Team accompanied 483 What is Cognitive Processing Survivors to Emergency Departments and 723 Survivors through Court Proceedings Therapy (CPT)?
