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.

I choose to volunteer at PAAR because the organization hits close to home. I am currently a remote volunteer on the Sexual Assault “Helpline.

The Title IX process is a valuable option for students at colleges and universities who have experienced some form of sexual violence. Under Title IX, students have the ability to do something to help themselves feel safe again, even when that doesn’t mean involving the police. Our experience in helping students navigate Title IX centers around equality, which is a very basic reason Title IX was created and adopted to campus protocol. Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law stating, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Every student, regardless of their status as a survivor, has the right to pursue and experience education to the fullest extent. Following sexual violence, that pursuit gets a lot harder. The trauma you carry with you doesn’t care if you have assignments due or if a flashback or panic attack comes up in the middle of an exam. Equity means alleviating the barriers created by trauma. Being a survivor shouldn’t mean losing access to education. We often hear students describe being re-traumatized by the way an institution responded to sexual violence. Universities hold a lot of power and responsibility – we trust them with our children, and we trust them with our futures. When a survivor feels that their college or university is not there for them, they experience a loss of community, grief, and sometimes end up needing to leave their campus. PAAR provides support to survivors as they navigate Title IX on their campus. Advocacy in that setting might look like education about someone’s options and rights, “ preparation for upcoming meetings and having someone to listen, believe and support the survivor. Most of all, PAAR recognizes that survivors already have so much on their plate, and we work to ensure no one must handle that alone. An advocate will be in the survivor’s corner from beginning to end, in a process that can be far from perfect.

Title IX Advocacy might look like: • Meeting to talk about their options and rights as a student • Helping to decide if they want to disclose to the Title IX Office or not, and researching anonymous reporting options • Having honest conversations about the investigation process and how a hearing could look • Being a liaison between the student, Title IX Coordinator, Investigator, Professor, etc. • Accompaniment to the hearing – Taking notes, practicing coping strategies and breathing • Helping them draft an appeal letter if the conduct board finds the accused student not responsible • Helping them cope with and respond to retaliation for reporting, from other students and peers • Empowering them in their pursuit to be a self-advocate on campus • Making a connection to therapy services that are free and confidential

PAAR is proud to work with nearly all of Allegheny County’s University and Colleges Title IX departments. This past year two Universities stepped up in big ways to make noticeable impacts on their students experiences.

Carlow University: Carlow meets regularly with PAAR to discuss Title IX protocol and practice, incorporating the experiences of survivors and advocates into the university’s planning and decision-making process. PAAR is training large University portions of university staff and faculty, including those that will be placed on conduct hearing boards and for campus law Partnerships enforcement. University of Pittsburgh: PAAR was invited to participate in the launch of a new program, the Supporting Survivors network. PAAR will train staff and faculty several times each semester on trauma theory, implementing trauma-informed care as academic professionals, how to respond to a the experience of a PAAR client, and the unique ways sexual violence impacts college students.
