For Grant Writers: Domestic Violence TA - 5/06

[Smartmarriages]

ACF requires that your marriage education proposals must include a statement
about how you will collaborate with domestic violence services in your area.
Here is very helpful info and guidelines generously shared by the PREP
folks. - diane

> Domestic violence is a very complicated and difficult topic. Not all people
> agree on various issues of strategy related to marriage education and domestic
> violence. We cannot offer advice on such things for anyone's specific
> situation or program context. However, we have written several things that may
> be of use for you to consider as you contemplate your strategies for
> understanding and dealing with this issue in your work. ACF plans technical
> assistance on various levels of sites on this subject (and we have been
> involved in various discussion about those plans as well). Note that the ACF
> proposals much include a statement from you about how you will collaborate
> with domestic violence services in your area. It is also very important for
> you to know your local and state laws and guidelines about violence affecting
> adults and children.
> 
> These links do not address that subject as much as they are summary statements
> by us about three important matters:
> 
> (1) PREP as a curriculum related to domestic violence issues.
> 
> (2) A quick summary overview by Scott Stanley at the University of Denver
> about research on types of domestic violence.
> 
> (3) The generic referral document strategy we developed on conjunction with
> the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative that we think is a wise part of an overall
> set of strategies to make sure everyone attending marriage education leaves
> with more information than they had coming in about various crucial
> services‹but done in such a way that the information can be handed out to
> everyone without singling anyone out.
