SARC’s 35th Anniversary 

k 


Community Members from Past and Present Come Together to Recognize 35 Years of SARC Serving the Community 

SARC’s first helpline volunteers 

THEN 

SARC is a non-profit in Harford County 

providing hope and resources to victims of 

domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse, 

and stalking. The agency is recognizing a major 

milestone this year, it’s 35 th anniversary of 

serving the community. 

In 1978 when a woman was sexually assaulted in 

Harford County, community members quickly 

realized that there were no local resources 

available to assist her. Awareness campaigns by 

People Against Rape, Maryland State Police, 

Harford County Commission for Women, and 

League of Women Voters sought to address this 

issue. The agency that would later become the 

Sexual Assault/Spouse Abuse Resource Center, 

Inc. (SARC) opened its doors on July 10, 1978. 

Although the original focus was serving victims of 

sexual violence in the community, volunteers 

answering the Center’s 24-hour Helpline quickly 

learned that many victims of sexual 

violence where also domestic violence victims. In 

order to best serve the community, one month 

after opening services expanded to include victims 

of domestic violence. 

Joan Hodous, Hazel Hopkins, Judith Walkley, 

Marlene Lieb, JoAnn Macdonald, Kathy Casey 

and Kelsey Luchey have come together to revisit 

SARC’s past and uncover the helping hands that 

have brought SARC to where it is today. Joan 

Hodous was one of those key community members 

in the grassroots beginnings of SARC, setting 

up the first helpline in her kitchen back in 

1978. Eventually, the headquarters moved to the 

Community Service Building in Aberdeen, funded 

by a meager federal and state grant. The 

organizers of SARC trained community 

volunteers to provide guidance to victims, helping 

240 battered women, 29 sexual assault victims 

and fielding hundreds of calls in their first year. 

From answering the helpline in Joan’s kitchen to 

now receiving over 1,800 calls per year, much 

has changed over the years but the caring hearts 

of the community remain the same. 

SARC incorporated in 1981. By 1996, services 

included clinical counseling, legal support, a 28- 

bed Safehouse and community outreach. Crisis 

intervention services were added in 2004. A few 

of the many grants that made this possible include 

the U.S. Department of Human Resources, 

Victims of Crime Act, Governor’s Office of Crime 

Control and Prevention, Maryland Victims of 

Crime Fund, Maryland Legal Services Corporation, 

Harford County Government, U.S. Department 

of Justice Violence Against Women Office, 

and United Way of Central Maryland, and you, 

the individuals who donated so much of your 

time, talent and treasure. 

SARC still relies on volunteers to help support 

the community. Volunteers help the staff by 

answering helpline calls in their homes and going 

on companion visits to the hospital when victims 

are admitted.

Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

Amanda Darda, Emily Sanders, 

and Stephanie Powers, SARC counselors, 

are newly licensed and will concentrate on 

Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral 

Therapy. This style of treatment is one of 

the many ‘best practices’ SARC employs 

when working with clients. Trauma 

Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or 

TF-CBT, is a therapeutic treatment model 

designed to help children and adolescents 

recover from trauma, and it is one of the 

few treatment approaches for children that 

has consistently been proven effective in a 

number of clinical studies. Not only have 

studies shown that TF-CBT creates lasting 

healing, but evidence also suggests that 

recovery happens must faster when 

compared to other types of treatment. 

Significant healing can happen in 

as few as 12 sessions (3 months) of weekly 

hour and a half appointments. 

The model involves individual 

sessions for both the child and a caregiver, as 

well as joint parent-child sessions. During 

treatment, a number of important components 

are incorporated, some of which include: 

providing education about trauma and its 

symptoms; teaching a variety of coping skills; 

parent skills training; creating a narrative of 

the abuse that was survived; and facilitating a 

healthier parent-child relationship. One of the 

unique aspects of TF-CBT, and perhaps one 

of the factors that allows it to be so 

successful, is that although the model 

includes specific components and phases, it 

is also incredibly flexible and can be tailored 

to fit the needs of each family. It allows the 

therapist to be creative and focus the 

strengths of each child, and can include the 

use of writing, art, music, or play during 

session time. 

Thank you Community Foundation Of 

Harford County for awarding SARC a mini 

grant to purchase play therapy equipment! 

If you or someone you know could use SARC’s services, please call SARC’s 24-hour Helpline (410) 836-8430. 


Continued from front page….. 

Volunteers and community members also help SARC staff in 

preparing for and running fundraising events throughout the 

year. These are just a few crucial ways the many volunteers 

have made SARC work throughout the years. 

SARC also offers robust support services by highly trained 

legal, counseling, and safehouse staff. SARC continues to be 

committed to providing quality services and has been a leader 

in the implementation of best practices like Trauma Informed 

Care. The agency has a long history of being a life line for 

tens of thousands of victims struggling to survive the trauma 

created by violence in our community. SARC’s mission has 

guided it through the past 35 years; “we work to end domestic 

violence, sexual violence, and stalking, to aid its victims and to 

create a society free from abuse and fear.” 

The 35 th Anniversary Committee has been working over the 

past few months to uncover milestones from SARC’s history 

and develop a memory book to highlight the contribution SARC 

has had to the community. 

On September 21, 2013 at SARC’s 4 th Annual Rising Above It 

Hot Air Balloon Family Fun Day, there will be a gathering of 

community members young and old to take a look at this 

memory book, reconnect with the past, and work towards 

strengthening SARC’s future. SARC invites everyone who has 

been part of SARC’s past to join us on September 21 st at 

Harford Equestrian Center for this event. The event runs from 

11am to 6pm and tickets are $5, children under 5 are free. Visit 

www.sarc-maryland.org for more information or like us on 

facebook, www.facebook.com/SARCharfordcounty.
