Home About AFFP Domestic Violence Advocacy ... Housing Youth Advocacy Support Groups Men's Domestic Violence Program Intervention Program for Women Wellstone Family Safety Program ... Links THE EFFECTS OF WITNESSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CHILDREN What children experience growing up in a violent home: Danger - Children may become the intended victim in the violence. They also may accidentally get caught in the middle of the violence and become hurt or killed. Chaos - Moods change quickly in the child’s home, so they are never sure what to expect. This puts a child on guard at all times. Fear and Tension - Children in violent homes will become afraid of everyone and everything because they never know what to expect. They will generally learn not to trust anyone. They begin to believe that anyone can hurt them, so it is better to just stay away. Confusion - The child in a violent home learns that hitting is used to solve problems. However, those outside the home are telling them that hitting is wrong. Isolation - In violent families, the family generally becomes cut off from the outside world. The child then withdraws from friends and adults.

The goals of the conferences are to have a great time, network with many amazing people and learn more about the power you have to make positive changes in your community. The most recent conference was held August 16-18, 2000 at the Happy Valley Conference Center in Santa Cruz. Advocates received three days of advanced advocacy training by experts in areas such as time management, project planning strategies, current tobacco industry marketing tactics and more! The participants also developed five statewide activities for the coalition to plan during the school year (see Statewide Youth Coalition for more details). The youth were rewarded for all of their hard work with a trip to Great America on the last day of the conference.

Missouri State Public Defender System Youth Advocacy The Youth Advocacy Unit employs attorneys in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas to ensure effective representation of juveniles. Attorneys in the unit also litigate certification proceedings and jury trials in the adult court system, if the child is certified to stand trial as an adult. The Youth Advocacy Unit was created in 1997 in response to a new trend in juvenile legislation putting more emphasis on punishment than on rehabilitation. To more effectively implement the United States Supreme Court ruling that juveniles are entitled to all constitutional protections, the Missouri State Public Defender System created a Youth Advocacy Unit. The unit employs a mix of new and experienced attorneys as well as interns. In addition to the training available to all attorneys in the Trial Division, attorneys in the Youth Advocacy Units also participate in a variety of national training opportunities that specifically address the special issues involved in juvenile defense. The unit also employs investigators to examine the circumstances surrounding the criminal charge. Staff disposition specialists conduct social investigations and locate available resources to help the client with treatment needs.

Admissions to juvenile detention facilities and custodial placements have been on the increase in New York State. Youth in the State's juvenile justice system are overwhelmingly from poor families and impoverished communities; most are also educationally disadvantaged with below-average reading and math grades. These are young people who often feel hopeless and without alternatives. The Center for Community Alternatives (CCA) believes in offering youth alternatives to hopelessness, alternatives to crime, alternatives to incarceration. Our programs have grown out of our experiences in our Youth Advocacy Project (YAP), which provides court advocacy including the development of a client-specific, alternative-to-detention plan, and intensive supervision. We currently provide an array of youth programs including peer educator training, mentoring, community service opportunities and job training. These programs have been shown to be effective in reducing delinquency among at-risk youth.
