Dear Friends of Next Door Solutions,The past year for Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence (NDS) was a year of transition, a year of progress, and another opportunity to work together in our commitment to those we serve in our community. It is with excitement that 2016 marks Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence’s 45th year of service to Santa Clara County. I feel extraordinarily privileged to be celebrating this landmark with all of you.

Since 1971, we have grown from an emergency hotline and shelter housed in a garage to a full service agency. NDS offers comprehensive and compassionate services for the survivors of domestic violence and their children. We continue to expand into new fronts in the fight against domestic violence.

One of these new fronts includes addressing the health effects of domestic violence. NDS has collaborated with Stanford University School of Medicine to provide health and wellness classes and resources for the survivors of domestic violence and their children. In this past year, we started a health partnership with Mayview Community Health Center to better screen for domestic violence among patients. You can read more about these programs in this Annual Report.

NDS has also been a core member of Step Up Silicon Valley, a broad coalition of non-profit organizations tackling poverty in our community. Over 80% of the women who come through our doors live in poverty. We have found that those we serve cannot attain safety without addressing economic barriers.

We have been able to accomplish this all thanks to your advocacy and loyal support! Our clients cannot attain safety without having the economic barriers they face addressed as well.

Thank you for your continued generous support,

Kathleen Krenek Executive Director

Stanford University, School of MedicineFor the past two years, Next Door Solutions has collaborated with Stanford University to study and address healthcare access and health issues facing the survivors of domestic violence and their children. This project started with efforts to understand the clients’ health needs and concerns. From the results of these studies, a full curriculum was developed to educate clients on nutrition and exercise, including exercise classes for mothers and their children, and programs to target health issues related to abuse. This is the first health education program of its kind for the survivors of domestic violence and their children.

For their efforts, the joint team from NDS and Stanford were honored with the Anne E. Dyson Child Advocacy Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics in Washington D.C. in October 2015. The results of the joint project will be published later this year in the journal Violence Against Women. The program continues to this day, with Stanford Undergraduate students volunteering as health educators to the residents at HomeSafe.

Mayview Community Health Centertrained providers at Mayview on domestic violence issue. “This has been a very beneficial partnership,”

said Erica, “In the first two weeks of this program; there have already been six disclosures of domestic violence. With this training, the clinics can provide better services to their patients, and vice versa, we can provide better medical resources to our clients.”

In conjunction with Mayview Com-munity Health Center, Next Door Solutions started a Domestic Violence and Health Care partnership to fill the gaps between health care providers and domestic violence agencies to reach out to women that may be in domestic violence situations. One of the challenges reaching DV victims is identifying who they are and providing them with resources.

According to Sonia Padula, Director of Care Management Services at Mayview, the training has been helpful in providing the tools to discuss domestic violence with their patients. “We are better able to screen and discuss more with our patients and provide them resources. We also better understand the situation for domestic violence victims and learning to be more sensitive to their needs.”
