2013 NO ONE ALONE SNACK PACK PROJECT

WOULD YOUR DEPARTMENT LIKE TO ADOPT A SHELTER PROJECT?

Serving Victims of Domestic Violence in Dawson and Lumpkin Counties


NO ONE ALONE (NOA) is established as a leading voice against domestic violence and a strong advocate for victims. The program offers help during a difficult time of turmoil, transition and change. Leaving an abusive relationship is not easy. It can be a long journey... a journey that often begins when someone physically comes into our shelter. A journey that doesn't end there. THE NEED: During weekly childrens support group, NOA advocates work with children to help them identify their feelings, develop empathy and healthy coping skills to deal with the stress they may be experiencing. Play activities and snack time in small group settings, combined with individualized attention, help children of all ages increase their self-esteem, learn safety skills and improve their behavior. WERE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS ADOPT THIS PROJECT AND TO PROVIDE SNACKS!

THIS IS A GREAT TEAM-BUILDING PROJECT FOR DEPARTMENTS, INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES

The project provides Northside Hospital staff members the unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children who have been affected by domestic violence. 1) When you COMMIT to this project you will PURCHASE healthy snacks 2) At your location you assemble the snacks into small Ziploc bags.

Domestic Violence in Georgia


From 2003 through 2010, at least 962 Georgia citizens lost their lives due to domestic violence. Georgia was recently ranked 10th in the nation for its rate of men killing women. In 43% of the cases studied through Georgias Domestic Violence Fatality Review Project, children were present during the domestic violence killing. Firearms were the cause of death in 76% of the domestic violence fatalities in both 2009 and 2010. What is domestic violence? Domestic violence, also described by the terms family violence, intimate partner violence, and teen dating violence, is a widespread problem in Georgia and across the country. We define domestic violence as the systematic use of abusive tactics to compel submission of one person to another in an intimate relationship. These tactics span a broad, and ever changing, spectrum. Common abusive tactics include: physical violence sexual violence isolation economic injustice emotional sabotage intimidation reproductive coercion relationship attenuation, and stalking

Studies have shown that domestic violence is committed primarily by men against women; although women and men in same-sex relationships experience domestic violence at the same rates as heterosexual women.
