From January to December of 2003, 286 cases of Domestic Ab4" v0 ep4rtei g 1%4 nd
18 cases reported in Kau. The Violence Intervention Project (VIP) oflBay,Clinic provides 48
s cho-educational groups per year in Puna and Kau to men who b
P Y �' P P Y :MP has bt:en in ..I
Puna for 9 years and Kau for 6 years and is the only perpetrator's pr�i ffi these areas.
Currently in Puna VIP serves 12 men, 5 of whom are still with their partner and in direct
contact with over 12 children. In Kau, the VIP group has 9 men, 6 living with their partner,
in direct contact with 18 children.
Transportation in Puna and Kau is a barrier to many social services. Most of VIP's
participants are court ordered and do not have legal cars or gas money to travel to Hilo or
Kailua to be in compliance. This creates a hardship for the family.
Over the past 7 years 4 agencies have attempted to provide women's services to Puna and
Kau. At present no women's support groups are offered in Puna and Kau, and TRO's can
only be arranged through "The Neighborhood Place" or HCPD in Puna.
Domestic Violence is the leading cause of female homicides and injury -related deaths during
pregnancy in the United States. (JAMA 2001;285 (11):1510-1511). Bay Clinic's integrated,
coordinated public health response to Domestic Violence, includes, but is not limited to:
➢ Clinical in-service training for healthcare providers on assessment and
safety planning (for example many victims of violence do not have control
over their sexual decision making, i.e, family planning, prenatal care,
STDs, etc.)
➢ Create a welcoming atmosphere through posters etc. that lets patients
know they are safe disclosing abuse to their provider.
➢ A Health Education in the schools component on dating violence
identifying abuse and safety planning.
➢ Annual Domestic Harmony poster contest (displayed on County Council
windows and Senator Ed Case's office in the fall.)
➢ Members of the Hawaii Island Anti -Bullying Coalition (ABC) to increase
safety in the schools.
➢ VIP - The Violence Intervention Project is a consistent, visible support
service in the isolated rural areas of Puna and Kau.
Community safety increases when there are consequences to violence. Victims are more
likely to report abuse if there is help for the abuser. Victims often say, "I don't want him to
go to jail, I just want the violence to stop."
We ask you to continue supporting this worthwhile program.
