CAPSA's annual impact report offers a glimpse into why CAPSA is recognized as the premier nonprofit in the social impact field and how we are raising the standards for transformative change for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. In the last year, CAPSA has provided life-changing services to 2,429 individuals, offering safety, hope, and empowerment to those affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse. Our crisis line received 8,612 calls, and we provided 7,084 nights of emergency shelter to 345 individuals. While these are just a few of the statistics, each number represents a powerful story of resilience and recovery. This report demonstrates CAPSA’s commitment to operational excellence and financial transparency. It shows how your support reaches those who need it most.

This last year we implemented a Project Management system specially designed for our organization. This system brings individuals from varying departments together to work on projects that have specific deliverables that take multiple perspectives and skill sets and several tasks to accomplish. Exciting things have been accomplished. Last week, these project teams hosted a Q&A. It was exciting to hear of the wins, the struggles and the growth that these individuals and teams felt. At CAPSA, our commitment to impactful productivity is enhanced by a culture that embraces innovation. The individuals from these teams now bring a new set of experiences and skills to their functional roles.

Our team recently completed the curriculum for a training for adults serving youth about how to have safe, shame free conversations. Recently, our team gathered to participate in a pilot presentation of this content. We are excited to offer this content. If you are interested in additional information or to set up training, please contact info@capsa.org.

Recently, CAPSA hosted Pamela King for her training "Eliciting Hope in Suicide Prevention". There were over 70 therapists in attendance (in-person and online). Pamela discussed the importance of emphasizing reasons for living in discussions with people contemplating suicide and how crucial self-care and maintaining hope are for the therapists that care for people with suicidal ideation. CAPSA is grateful for the opportunity to host inspiring trainings like this and look forward to the 3rd session of Pamela's three-part training series offered this summer. Pamela's final training (Solution Focused Play Therapy with Children & Families) is scheduled for August 1, 2024 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tickets are still available! https://lnkd.in/guhGSAxA

This year, we had the unique opportunity to host our annual golf tournament during the Logan Country Club course renovation. Becuase of this, this year's tournament had a layered message of the challenges that survivors face and the critical nature of support. Just as this course may have been more challenging to navigate, a little more chaotic than normal, this is the reality survivors face. They are working through challenges and barriers and it may be chaotic. CAPSA is here ready to support, and this is only possible because you, our community is standing ready and willing to help us. Thank you!! And congratulations to the County Club, this course is going to be truly remarkable.
