OPPrairie.com life & Arts the orland park prairie | June 6, 2019 | 21 Silent Witness display brings education to Orland Park Mary Compton Freelance Reporter According to a 2010 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 20 people per minute in the United States are physically abused by an intimate partner. Because of those numbers, Paul Slade, chairman and CEO at Orland Park Bank & Trust, wanted to show the impact of domestic violence to bank customers. Slade’s idea was to have the Crisis Center for South Suburbia’s traveling Silent Witness display in five bank locations throughout May and early June. “For us, bringing the Crisis Center for South Suburbia traveling Silent Witness display was simple,” Slade said. “It’s the right thing to do. The communities that we serve have been very good to us over the years. So, we have an obligation to help where we can. We take that very seriously.” The Silent Witness display features cutouts of victims who were killed in domestic violence incidents. On each cutout are stories about how they lost their lives to domestic violence. “We interact with thousands of people in the community every day,” Slade said. “We want to help raise awareness. ... We wanted to show this is an issue in our community. This is a call to action. If we engage a few, we’ve made a difference, and that’s why we’re here.” Andrea Ramirez-Justin, vice president of government banking and community outreach at the affiliated Old Plank Trail Community Bank in Mokena, shared her story. “Domestic violence comes in all forms,” she said. “It does not have a race. It does not have a color. It doesn’t have an individual origin. You could be standing next to a person who has been a victim of domestic violence and never know it. “It happens to people you may not think it happened to. I’m one of those people. This happened to me many, many years ago. I will tell you it was the Crisis Center for South Suburbia that helped me get through that time. “Back then … it was not to be spoken of. It was kept quiet. I never even told my parents. … It wasn’t until I went to the hospital that it became an ‘ah-ha’ moment. I thought, ‘This isn’t right, and it needed to stop.’” It was because of this experience that she joined Slade in bringing the Silent Witness exhibit to five banks. “I think it’s an important piece that you can survive from domestic violence,” Ramirez-Justin said. “It’s important to have awareness because there are men and women who are subjected to domestic violence [who] keep it quiet. They seem to think it’s their own problem. They seem to think that they did something wrong to be involved in a violent situation. Domestic violence is not just the brutal hits; it’s mental abuse. It can happen to anyone.” Crisis Center for South Suburbia Board Member Deborah Fahey said her dedication to help serve domestic violence victims is key. “The Crisis Center for South Suburbia’s traveling Silent Witness Display was at four Old Plank Trail Community Bank locations already,” Fahey said. “We like to bring the display out to the community and to events. For information on domestic violence to get out to the public is extremely important. Domestic violence is everywhere. “This exhibit touches so many people in different ways. It’s hard to explain.” All services through the Crisis Center for South Suburbia are free to those individuals who need help. Clients are assisted through the 24-hour emergency shelter; the Transitional Housing Program; a 24-hour hotline; the counseling program; court advocacy; Live Safe Patient Advocacy; Law Enforcement And Victim Outreach program, which partners with 19 local police departments; education and prevention programs; and the Partner Abuse Intervention Program. According to Jay Capron, marketing director for Crisis Center for South Suburbia, there are misconceptions regarding domestic violence. Domestic violence impacts people of all cultural backgrounds and income levels; leaving an abusive situation can be difficult; and there are many forms of abuse, including physical, psychological, emotional, verbal, economical and sexual, he said. Businesses can request the Crisis Center for South Suburbia traveling Silent Witness Display.
