The Listening Project

The CAHS Office has started to work with a program called the Listening Project. This is a program that works with Domestic Violence survivors and lets them tell their stories. We will be working with 5 other Domestic Violence agencies across the state. The goal of the Listening Project is to hear the voices of 100 rural survivors of Domestic Violence. These survivors will be invited to share their successes, challenges, and the many lessons they have learned as they move toward safety. Their stories will be collected in a safe, confidential environment with experienced advocates. If you would like to be a part of this project please contact the CAHS Office at 945-2471 or come by the office Mon-Fri 8am-5pm.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

 

We would like to thank Judy Henderson and Jill Peterson from the Nevada Network Against Domestic Violence (NNADV) for such an informative training yesterday. Part of the training included an exercise called "In Her Shoes". We were given the ability to walk through the true life stories of women that have experienced abuse. Each of the bandaids we are wearing represent an event of abuse in their lives. Domestic Violence truly can happen to anyone. If you would like information on Domestic Violence Training or Resources please call the CAHS Office at

The New CAHS Sign

You might remember that we used to have a sign on top of our building. This sign was provided by a generous donation. Unfortunately the wind had other ideas, and we had to remove it before it fell down and came through our front window.

It has taken us quite some time to come up with enough donations to have the sign remounted.

Thanks to the hard work of G-Dubs Construction, and Sign City we finally have a new outdoor sign.
