Violence In The Workplace

When Family Violence Comes to Work

Employers play an important role in making the workplace safe for victims of domestic violence. A safe work environment includes many components such as policies, training, security, flexible leave and benefits and employee education. Domestic violence can cause victims to be absent, tardy and distracted. Some abusers actively interfere with their victims’ ability to remain employed. In addition, once a victim tries to separate from a violent partner, the abuser may still find the victim at the workplace.

In order to address these issues, Sojourner Family Peace Center provides advocacy and education to:

• Help employers recognize that family violence is a business issue
• Educate employers and their staff on the issue of domestic violence
• Work with employers to develop policies to keep employees safe at work
• Provide employment advocacy to victims of domestic violence if they become at risk of losing their jobs due to domestic violence issues

“Are there victims or perpetrators in my workplace?”

Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, from the highest paid, longest-working employee to the lowest-skilled part-timer. Likewise, anyone can be an abuser, regardless of how well-mannered, educated and well-paid the employee may be. Abusers can be very charming to people who aren’t the targets of their abuse. Statistically, women are much more likely to be victims of battering than men.

Safety At Work- Steps You Can Take:

• Provide protective services:
• Security personnel to walk employees to their cars and to screen at entries
• Consider monitoring work site with security cameras
• Offer to relocate a threatened employee to another work site or another location at that site
• Offer to alter an employee’s work schedule to make the schedule less predictable to the abuser
• Provide silent alarms or buzzers at work stations of employees who need them
• Allow employees time off to address safety needs
• Encourage victims to provide a photo of the abuser so those in screening positions can help provide protectionM
• Encourage use of existing resources such as law enforcement, restraining orders and cell phones

Training for Professionals Program

Our Training for Professionals program offers on-site employee training titled “When Family Violence Comes to Work” for human resource professionals and security staff of local companies. Call Sojourner Family Peace Center Community Education department at 414-276-1911, extension 30, for more information.

ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create peaceful communities in which domestic respect and a life free from violence is the right of every woman, man and child.

In February of 2009, the Task Force on Family Violence and Sojourner Truth House joined together to form a single organization, Sojourner Family Peace Center. The goal of this merger is to more effectively and efficiently deliver domestic violence victims a broad range of resources and services.

Combining the services of the two organizations means families will have a single, strong organization to turn to and one resource to go for help. The merger also allows the agencies, which have a long history of grant and fundraising collaboration, to increase program efficiencies and streamline fundraising efforts.

OUR HISTORY

1975 – The Task Force on Battered Women was founded by the Women’s Coalition.

1976 – The Task Force on Battered Women organized the fist Wisconsin conference on battered women. This conference led to the creation of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence in 1978.

1977 – The Task Force on Battered Women developed the Advocates for Battered Women Project, housed in the District Attorney’s Office, in collaboration with the Junior League of Milwaukee.

1977 – The Task Force on Battered Women was instrumental in the founding of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Women Abuse.

1978 – Sojourner Truth House, the first shelter for battered women in Milwaukee, was created by the Women’s Coalition and the Task Force on Battered Women. Sojourner Truth House was incorporated as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. The shelter was located in a renovated duplex on Wisconsin Avenue.

1980 – The Task Force on Battered Women assisted in writing and publishing “Survival: A Handbook for Battered Women” in collaboration with the Milwaukee Young Lawyers Association’s domestic violence committee and Milwaukee Insurance company.

1980 – Sojourner Truth House purchased its current, larger facility. Local foundations and individuals provided funds for this purchase.

1981 – The Task Force on Battered Women organized the “Battered Women: A Moral Dilemma”, the second national conference on domestic violence.

1981 – In response to the need to help abusers change their destructive behaviors, Sojourner Truth House established Batterers Anonymous-Beyond Abuse. Participation in the 23-week program increases each year as professionals working in the criminal justice system and other social service agencies become more familiar with the tragedy of domestic violence.

1982 – The Task Force on Battered Women and the Junior League of Milwaukee produced and premiered the film, “Domestic Violence: The All-American Crime”.

1986 – The Task Force on Battered Women moved the Advocacy Program to its current location at the Milwaukee County Courthouse.

1986 – The City of Milwaukee Police Department implemented a mandatory arrest policy for domestic violence battery incidents and designated Sojourner Truth House to oversee and operate the 24-Hour Domestic Violence Hotline.

1987 – The Task Force on Battered Women established the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, an 18-week educational program for batterers.

1989 – The State of Wisconsin enacted a mandatory arrest law for a wide range of domestic violence situations. Law enforcement officers from throughout Milwaukee County also began calling the 24-Hour Domestic Violence Hotline.

1993 – Sojourner Truth House was invited to staff a Domestic Abuse Victim Advocate program in the Domestic Violence unit of the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office.

1993 – Sojourner Truth House participated in a collaborative five-year domestic violence study, entitled the “Safe at Home Violence Against Women Prevention Project”, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

1999 – Sojourner Truth House increased the capacity of its emergency domestic violence shelter to 38 beds.

1999 – Milwaukee County was named as one of three sites involved in a collaborative five-year U.S. Department of Justice, Judicial Oversight Demonstration project, a national effort geared toward the development of an effective and coordinated judicial response to domestic violence. This greatly enhanced abuser accountability and increased the likelihood that abusers would undergo effective treatment. This effort also attempted to identify and address gaps in victim services.

2002 – The Task Force on Family Violence became an official member of Milwaukee’s Child Abuse Response Team (CART) and began providing advocacy services at the Child Protective Center of Children’s Hospital.

FINANCIAL ABUSE

A listing of upcoming workshops is coming soon.

HAVE A FRIEND WHO MAY NEED HELP?

Facts that Family & Friends Should Know

The work with our clients is completely confidential and our primary concern is for their safety. We cannot release any information about clients, conversations, etc. However, if a client chooses to talk to family and friends about their experience, we encourage you to listen to them.

How You Can Help:

To be available to help someone else, it is very important that you take care of yourself. Make sure you have your own support system, talk with someone you trust and nurture your physical and mental health. Victims need support in many ways. You can help by following these important and sometimes difficult tips:

• Be there to listen
• Believe them
• Allow them to make their own decisions and choices
• Support their decisions and choices even if you would not do the same thing
• Keep conversations private and confidential
• Call them just to talk or to make sure they are safe
• Create a code word/phrase so that you can ask if they are safe without anyone knowing what you’re really asking. (Example: If you ask, “Did I leave my red sweater at your house” and the answer is no that means, “I need help/police”.)
• Offer to assist with childcare, transportation, housekeeping, cooking, etc. (when help is needed)
• If your home is a safe place, allow them to keep important documents/items there (money, birth certificates, evidence of abuse, etc.) so that they do not get damaged/taken
• Keep important phone numbers handy (shelters, police, crisis lines, etc.)
• Avoid being judgmental or critical of choices and decisions they make.
• Provide an unused cell phone so that they can call 911 for help if needed.
• Emphasize how much you care about them
• Encourage them
• Educate yourself about family violence
• Ask an advocate for a reading list or go to www.timetospeakup.org for more information. Resist the abuser’s attempts to “blame the victim” or justify the violence
• Encourage the abuser to take responsibility and seek help for their abusive behavior

These tools may help create an environment that allows victims to feel secure, stable and confident in their decisions and in themselves.
