About This Cause

Our Values Do the Right Thing: We choose to always act with integrity and to put the clients’ needs first. Expect the Best: We strive to be our best and we recognize the good intentions of all persons with whom we engage. Work Well With Others: Collaborating with others in our field is what fuels us. By bringing together the best resources available to our clients, we are able to create a community of organizations that are focused on one thing – the success of our clients. Be Bold. Take Risks: In our line of work, we sometimes have to think outside of the box when it comes to finding a solution. We will be bold and take necessary risks when it means that the outcome is beneficial for our clients, organization and the community at large. Celebrate Individuality: We are individuals and we value the uniqueness of all persons. We work together to build innovative programs and to create opportunities for women who are or have been incarcerated. Our Program: Beyond Violence Beyond Violence is an evidence-based manualized curriculum for women in criminal justice settings (jails, prisons, and community corrections) with histories of aggression and/or violence.  It deals with the violence and trauma they have experienced, as well as the violence they may have perpetrated.  This four-level model of violence prevention considers the complex interplay between individual, relationship, community, and societal factors.  It addresses the factors that put people at risk for experiencing and/or perpetrating violence.  This model is used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and was used in the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) research on women in prison.  This is a 20 session (40 hour) intervention that consists of a facilitator guide, participant workbook and DVD.
