SAFE AT HOME (SAH) REACHES CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN FEAR AND WITNESS VIOLENCE IN THEIR HOMES, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES. SAH'S MARGARET'S PLACE (MP) PROGRAM, NAMED AFTER JOE'S MOTHER, IS STAFFED BY A MASTER'S-LEVEL COUNSELORS WHO PROVIDES INTERVENTION SERVICES TO YOUTH TRAUMATIZED BY VIOLENCE AND PREVENTION SERVICES TO THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY. THE MARGARET'S PLACE COUNSELORS ALSO PROVIDE WORKSHOPS AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, AND CONDUCT OUTREACH AND WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS. SAH'S 13 MP SITES ARE MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES. TO DATE, WE HAVE REACHED OVER 59,000 STUDENTS AND PROVIDED OVER 26,000 THERAPEUTIC COUNSELING SESSIONS. SAFE AT HOME PRIMARILY SERVES YOUNG PEOPLE AGES 11 THROUGH 18 IN SCHOOLS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAUMA INCLUDING WITNESSES OR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, CHILD ABUSE, GANG VIOLENCE, COMMUNITY VIOLENCE, BULLYING, AND SEX TRAFFICKING. OVER 75% OF THE CHILDREN SERVED BY SAFE AT HOME COME FROM LOW AND MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES AND ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE/REDUCED-COST LUNCH. IN OUR NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS, 86% ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE/REDUCED-COST LUNCH.THE PROBLEMIN 2013 IN NEW YORK CITY, THERE WERE OVER 282,000 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RELATED INCIDENTS REPORTED TO THE POLICE, 86% OF CHILD FATALITIES HAD DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE HOME, AND 30% OF FAMILIES WHO SEEK SHELTER WERE HOMELESS DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. FURTHER, 11% OF PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS REPORTED BEING PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY A PARTNER IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THERE IS A CLEAR OVERLAP BETWEEN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CHILD ABUSE/INCEST. IN A NATIONAL SURVEY OF MORE THAN 6,000 AMERICAN FAMILIES, 50% OF THE MEN WHO FREQUENTLY ASSAULTED THEIR WIVES ALSO FREQUENTLY ABUSED THEIR CHILDREN. ADDITIONALLY, APPROXIMATELY HALF OF INCEST PERPETRATORS ALSO ABUSED THE CHILDREN'S MOTHER. MANY CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES ARE EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES: OVER 60% OF CHILDREN ARE EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR BOTH (DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY) WITH 41% EXPERIENCING A PHYSICAL ASSAULT, 14% EXPERIENCING CHILD MALTREATMENT, 9% EXPOSED TO FAMILY VIOLENCE, 10% OF GIRLS AGES 14-17 EXPERIENCING SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND 4.7% OF ALL GIRLS EXPERIENCING DATING VIOLENCE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. FURTHER, THE LIFETIME VICTIMIZATION OF 14-17 YEAR-OLDS WITNESSING A FAMILY ASSAULT IS 34.5% AND INDIRECTLY EXPOSED TO FAMILY ASSAULT IS 10.1%. SIMILARLY, THE ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE (ACE) STUDY FOUND THAT 13% OF PARTICIPANTS WITNESSED THEIR MOTHERS BEING TREATED VIOLENTLY DURING THEIR CHILDHOOD. THE EFFECTRESEARCH TELLS US THAT THE ADVERSE LONG AND SHORT TERM BEHAVIORAL AND EMOTIONAL EFFECTS ON YOUTH EXPOSED TO TRAUMA ARE VAST INCLUDING BEHAVIORAL, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT MATERIALIZING THROUGH POOR GRADES, LIMITED PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS, AND SHORT ATTENTION SPAN AND FEELINGS OF GUILT, SHAME, WORRY, WORTHLESSNESS, SADNESS, AND ANGER. YOUTH LIVING WITH VIOLENCE IN THEIR HOMES OFTEN EXHIBIT PHYSICAL AND/OR BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES INCLUDING HEADACHES, STOMACH ACHES, SLEEP DISTURBANCE, INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE, SOCIAL WITHDRAWAL, ACTING OUT, AND ANXIETY. WHEN YOUTH ARE RAISED IN ABUSIVE HOMES MANY COME TO BELIEVE THAT VIOLENCE IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO RESOLVE CONFLICT. AMONG YOUTH EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE IN THEIR HOMES, GIRLS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE VICTIMIZED IN THE FUTURE AND BOYS ARE MORE THAN TWICE AS LIKELY TO BECOME PERPETRATORS OF ABUSE. THE MORE TRAUMA A CHILD EXPERIENCES OVER TIME, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT BECOMES TO CONTROL TRAUMA RESPONSE. THEREFORE THE CHILD CAN NO LONGER ESTABLISH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THREATENING AND NON-THREATENING SITUATIONS. A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THIS PHENOMENON IS WHEN A TRAUMATIZED CHILD IS PRESENTED WITH A STICK THEY MAY HAVE THE SAME RESPONSE AS BEING PRESENTED WITH A SNAKE. TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN MAY BE TRIGGERED BY UNRELATED AND NON-THREATENING INCIDENTS THAT INCITE A FIGHT, FLIGHT, OR FREEZE REACTION IN WHICH THEIR SENSES BECOME HYPER-ALERT, TAKING IN EVERY DETAIL OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS, PREPARING THE BODY TO FIGHT OR FLEE. TRAUMA IS A BIOLOGICAL AND/OR PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE OF DISTRESS THAT RESULTS FROM PHYSICAL AND/OR EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE. SOME COMMON EFFECTS OF TRAUMA ON YOUTH INCLUDE CHANGE IN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, MALADAPTIVE COPING MECHANISMS, COMPROMISED MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, AND DIFFICULTY WITH MOOD REGULATION. THE PROGRAM DETAILSTHE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF STANDARDIZED SERVICES THAT ARE DELIVERED AT EACH MARGARET'S PLACE LOCATION THE MARGARET'S PLACE ROOM - A DEDICATED ROOM IN THE SCHOOL WHERE STUDENTS CAN GO TO TALK OR "HANG OUT" IN A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT THAT FEELS SAFE TO THEM - A PLACE WHERE RESPECT AND CONFIDENTIALITY ARE THE RULE.
