The Salvation Army, NY
The Salvation Army Syracuse Area Services (SAS), a community-based organization with a long history of providing domestic violence services, currently has only one full-time staff member managing both visitation and clinical clients, leading to waitlists. This Program is a comprehensive application led by SAS in partnership with Onondaga County Department of Children and Family Services (OCDCFS), with the assistance of sub grantee Syracuse University. This program will accomplish three objectives. Objective 1 aims to improve systems and responses through collaborative referral pathways with the child welfare system, specifically OCDCFS. Objective 2 aims to expand trauma-informed services for abused parents and children, by delivering personalized trauma-informed services utilizing the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) and implementing Dating Matters (CDC) for youth exposed to domestic violence to prevent dating violence. Objective 3 aims to enhance evidence-informed practices through comprehensive evaluation and dissemination plans.
