Once you find your voice, you never lose it. -Ashlyn Ennesser, KCSARC Client Ending the Silence through Voice, Courage & Change KCSARC has grown to be the largest sexual assault victim's service organization in Washington, providing direct comprehensive services for victims and families, free of charge. KCSARC is leading the conversation about sexual assault for victims, their families and the community! We know, through education and prevention there can be an end to sexual assault. Still, until we can put an end to sexual abuse, KCSARC is there to help people put their lives back together. Through therapy, family services, legal advocacy and our Spanish-speaking Dando Voz program we are changing the lives of victims and their families. Three Decades of Dedication On September 22 nd supporters, friends and community leaders gathered to celebrate Mary Ellen's 30th anniversary as KCSARC’s Executive Director! Mary Ellen has fearlessly and passionately dedicated herself to bringing the topic of sexual assault to the forefront and ensuring high-quality services to victims of sexual assault and their families. This celebration was generously hosted by long-time friends and KCSARC supporters Bill and Janette Adamucci. Bill and Janette Adamucci, longtime friends & KCSARC supporters with Mary Ellen Stone . Newly Equipped! Through generous foundation support from Boeing Employees Community Fund and the McEachern Foundation, KCSARC was able to upgrade equipment in one of our Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) rooms and add equipment to a second room to meet the growing demand for this effective parent education program. PCIT is an evidenced-based program for parents whose children, as a result of physical or sexual abuse, have serious behavior problems. Through participation in 12-20 sessions, parents learn how to provide nurturing care enhanced by positive discipline, thus reducing the likelihood of future abuse for their children. KCSARC is the only provider of English and Spanish PCIT in the state, utilizing bi-lingual and bi-cultural staff.
This is always such a great, inspiring event! One of the few truly good reasons to wake up early! - “Kids Are Our Business” Breakfast Guest $100,000 Grant Award KCSARC received a competitive and prestigious $100,000 grant award from the Washington Women’s Foundation to expand our Spanish-speaking Dando Voz program. Of the more than 260 nonprofit organizations that submitted letters of inquiry, we were selected by members of the Foundation as the award recipient in the Health category. “Through our rigorous research and review process, Dando Voz emerged as a vital community program that will reach even more children and families through our financial support,” said Carla Lewis, Washington Women’s Foundation President. Washington Women’s Foundation member, Laura Ruderman; KCSARC Board Member, Maria Milano; KCSARC Deputy Executive Director, DeAnn Yamamoto; KCSARC Development Director, Jenny Senh; Washington Women’s Foundation President, Carla Lewis. SALSA Through the assistance of a two year grant beginning in 2009, KCSARC officially began a partnership with the Sexual Violence Law Center (SVLC) to create the Sexual Assault Legal Services and Assistance (SALSA) program. SALSA is dedicated to providing holistic legal services to survivors of sexual violence in King County with civil matters such as safety, housing, employment, education, privacy, immigration and family law. As part of the SALSA program, two of KCSARC’s Legal Advocates provide program coordination, client intake and screening, referrals, community outreach and advocacy support to SALSA clients. Through SALSA, designated KCSARC Legal Advocates conduct comprehensive interviews to screen for unmet civil legal needs and then refer those victims to a SVLC Attorney for legal representation. All SALSA clients have a KCSARC Legal Advocate and a SVLC Attorney to address their legal needs and social welfare. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with the Sexual Violence Law Center so we can better service our clients and the community! Communities Come Together Throughout the year community leaders and KCSARC supporters gathered at various events and had the chance to hear stories of individuals and families positively impacted by KCSARC. The Seattle Breakfast raised more than $322,000 with over 800 guests in attendance. In Enumclaw over $19,000 was raised and in Renton over $25,000. Despite the rain, golfers hit the green at “Golf for Good” and helped raise $41,800! Mary Ellen Stone, speaking at KCSARC’s “Kids Are Our Business” Breakfast.
