OCADSV Fatal Domestic Violence in Oregon Report
This report provides demographic and incident data for the 55 domestic-violence-related deaths that occurred in Oregon in the year 2012. The Coalition has included fatalities involving roommates, care providers, people related by blood or marriage including extended family, current and former intimate partners, the extended family of current and former intimate partners, and cases of prostitution (covered under the term intimate partner). The report also includes information related to victims involved in or present during fatal domestic violence incidents who were not killed.

OCADSV Self-Assessment Tool
The information and programs discussed in this manual can apply to services for females and males; however since the majority of this document addresses shelter services (which usually only serve females and children) the female gender is used to refer to the recipient of services.  It is also important to acknowledge that the majority of victims who report domestic violence and sexual assault are women. Overwhemingly, the perpetrators of the violence are male.  However, there are incidents when males are victimes of domestic violence perpetrated by females and battering can occur in same sex relationships.  Therefore, it is important to have services available for male and female victims and batterers.

Shelter Guide
Fair housing laws are civil rights laws that apply to housing. Many nonprofit organizations are not fully aware of these laws which cover all housing, including long-and short-term housing and shelter programs. This short guide is intended to give general guidance and address common areas of confusion. It is not a substitute for professional legal advice. Organizations seeking help with a particular issue can contact the Fair Housing Council of Oregon for general information or their attorney for specific legal advice.

Domestic Violence Counseling Referral Sources:
For those who choose to use violence, and for those who have experienced violence.  Batterers Intervention Lack of anger management does not cause relationship violence. Violence is a choice. A batterers intervention group is the most effective resource for the person who has been physically, emotionally, and/or sexually abusive to his or her partner. Group intervention has the potential to hold those who use violence and anger the most accountable for many reasons. The group dynamic creates a mechanism for batterers to confront each other on their use of denial and blaming others, as well as other controlling dynamics utilized by batterers. Groups should be at least 26 weeks and some studies show that batterers groups do not even begin to break through the layers of denial for many participants until 36 weeks. The focus of these groups should be on power and control (not anger management, since out-of-control anger is not the issue with domestic violence) and on accountability (taking responsibility for one's behavior).

Oregon Roundtable Report - November 16, 2012
Crime victims, survivors and victim advocates are key stakeholders in the Governor’s Commission on Public Safety.  Two Roundtable discussions were held to provide survivors and advocates with an overview of the Commission’s work to date and future activities, and to seek their input in establishing priorities for crime victims and those who serve them in Oregon for review by the Commission.
There were 24 survivors and advocates at the Salem Roundtable on October 15, and 11 survivors and advocates at the Klamath Falls Roundtable on October 16 (the second Roundtable sought to identify issues and concerns of victims and advocates in rural, remote and Tribal jurisdictions).  A roster of participants at both Roundtables is included in Appendix A. Both Roundtable discussions were facilitated by national crime victim advocate Anne Seymour, who is a consultant to the Pew Center on the States Public Safety Performance Project.

The DELTA PREP Toolkit
The DELTA PREP Toolkit was developed by the DELTA PREP project, a collaboration of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the CDC Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in support of 19 state domestic violence coalitions to build their organizational capacity for primary prevention of IPV. The Toolkit is a resource for state and community organizations that are engaging in primary prevention efforts and are interested in strengthening their organization’s ability to sustain and build upon their prevention work. The tools in this interactive Toolkit were used by the DELTA PREP project participant coalitions, and the materials have been informed by the experiences of these organizations. It is notable that DELTA PREP coalitions have continued to enhance and expand their primary prevention efforts since the Foundation project grant period ended in November 2011.
The toolkit includes:

1. General information about the DELTA PREP project, its history, and theory of change
2. Coalition Prevention Capacity Assessment
3. Action Planning Workbook
4. Inventory of potential activities for primary prevention capacity-building
5. Lessons learned from DELTA PREP coalitions
6. Snapshots of the DELTA PREP coalitions and links to their websites
7. Resource center with access to on-line resources and downloadable documents

Earned Media Guide
Earned media coverage can be one of the most powerful advocacy tools at your disposal.

organization such as a newspaper, TV or radio station.
