Dear Families and Friends of Alcoholics,

The World Service Office (WSO) is aware that at this time many Al‑Anon and Alateen groups have chosen to or been asked to suspend meeting as part of public health initiatives aimed at curbing the spread of COVID‑19 (the novel coronavirus) in our communities. The WSO does not have the resources to manually update the status of every registered group in a timely and accurate fashion nor can we easily modify the display of groups on our website on a temporary basis. Therefore, we urge anyone seeking a meeting to connect with a local Al‑Anon Information Service office to verify the current status before attending. If you should happen to attend a group that is temporarily not meeting, it will not be necessary to report this using the Report a Problem feature on this website. We are grateful for your cooperation, patience, and understanding as we continue providing the services our members rely on and as we adapt to this situation, one day at a time. Electronic Alateen Meetings

Public Awareness

We create public awareness about domestic violence and human trafficking by conducting Community Education and Outreach.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
Asian Women's Shelter has a longstanding commitment to facilitating community dialogue and learning. If you would like to organize a community education event on any of the topics below (or more), please contact us!

Anti-trafficking

Cultural Competency

Domestic Violence 101

Language Access & AWS's Multilingual Access Model

LGBTQ Cultural Competency / Anti-homophobia and heterosexism

Power, Privilege and Oppression (Anti-Oppression 101)

OUTREACH & VISIBILITY
AWS is committed to breaking the silence that perpetuates violence against women. Building public awareness is the essential first step in encouraging communities in prevention and intervention. We strive to make our response public, so that our visibility emboldens others in our communities to take a stand.

Many survivors who are marginalized cannot access support and services, so we make a concerted effort to make ourselves an accessible resource. We do this in a variety of ways:

1. We make outreach and visibility an organizational commitment; all staff, volunteers, language advocates,relief workers and interns contribute to this core effort.

2. We table at community fairs where people do not automatically expect a connection to domestic violence.

3. We participate in community events like Dyke March and San Francisco Pride to build the visibility of AWS's Queer Asian Women & Transgender Support program.

4. We participate in marches and actions that reflect our values. For example, AWS participated in the anti-war marches in 2002-2003 and created a banner in order to show that AWS as an anti-violence organization was showing up to call out for peace and a de-escalation of violence.

5. We speak at events, conferences, to media outlets, via print media, etc. to spread our messages to our communities.

6. We create accessible educational and resource materials and then distribute them broadly to the places where our community members are.

Grassroots Mobilization

AWS is proud to engage our active constituents in the movement against violence. We do this through Chai Chats, Multilingual Digital Storytelling, Volunteer/MLAM Mobilization, Community Action Teams and Creative Interventions.
CHAI CHATS
Chai Chats is a safe and confidential initiative that reaches out to the Asian and Pacific Islander lesbian, bisexual, queer, and transgender communities to equip them with tools and strategies for practicing and promoting healthy relationships in all areas of their lives.

Participants learn and share skills and strategies for healthy, happy relationships. They also explore how communication practices, attachment styles, temperament differences, positive and negative feedback cycles, responses to conflict, trans/homo/bi/phobia and learned violence can factor into their relationships and lives.

AWS is committed to engaging and mobilizing its constituency to break the silence that surrounds domestic violence against these marginalized communities. We work to change the societal and cultural norms that perpetuate violence, into those built off of equality, non-violence and the respectful use of power.

Please contact us to learn more about Chai Chats!
MULTILINGUAL DIGITAL STORYTELLING
The stories of immigrant and refugee women's experiences of violence are usually unheard. In collaboration with the Center for Digital Storytelling, AWS launched a pilot project in 2006 with the goal of creating a space for advocates and survivors of violence to share their stories using the creative tools of digital imagery and audio recording.

Built from the natural storytelling and oral traditions of many Asian Pacific Islander and immigrant communities, this program is based on the simple premise that individuals gain from making stories and communities gain from experiencing them.

The Multilingual Digital Storytelling Project helps transcend language barriers and bring to light the hidden and unrecognized experiences of immigrant survivors of domestic violence. Participants are equipped with new technical skills and a safe, supportive environment where they can craft and share their stories.

Participants create every aspect of their digital story and the power of their voice helps foster awareness of violence against API women, shape policy and inspire viewers to social action. When developing their story, they make informed decisions regarding confidentiality so that their message can reach far and wide, impacting diverse audiences while also preserving their safety and confidentiality.

Digital stories have been used in local and national trainings for community members, advocates, law enforcement, and government workers.
VOLUNTEER/MLAM MOBILIZATION
Our volunteer and language advocates are made up of multicultural/multilingual women from local communities. They attend over 70 hours of training to become educated anti-violence activists and domestic violence counselors. They are agents of support within the walls of AWS and are agents of change within their communities.

AWS utilizes volunteers and language advocates in a variety of grassroots anti-violence efforts, ranging from outreach at language or community-specific events to facilitating community dialogues.
COMMUNITY ACTION TEAMS
As part of our commitment to using our organizational power responsibly and supporting local and community-based efforts to address violence, AWS supports Community Action Teams (CATs). These teams often emerge organically, formed by our volunteer and language advocates who have knowledge of pressing needs, current issues and creative opportunities in their communities. They work on projects or initiatives that are grounded in their own skills and capacity.

CATs can have a voice and a power in their communities that, most often, outsiders do not. One example is of the Filipina Advisory Committee:

In the early 1990's a few board, staff, volunteers, language advocates, former residents, and community members of Filipina descent formed the Filipina Advisory Committee. They named themselves and functioned as a support group and community awareness team. They rotated meetings at one another's homes, cooking together, sharing stories and planning community awareness activities.

During this period, one of the members was attacked by her former husband. She had opened a restaurant and her ex-husband entered and stabbed both her and her parents in front of her children. He was also injured in the attack.

The systems and community failed her in their subsequent actions. The ambulance took both victim and perpetrator together and treated her ex-husband first. After his arrest, his family rallied the Filipino community to raise his bail money, framing the situation as one of community vs. law enforcement.

The Filipina Advisory Committee responded to this injustice by launching a public awareness campaign in the Filipino community to promote community understanding about domestic violence. Their leadership made a tremendous impact on changing community norms, systems, and laws to increase the safety and visibility of survivors of domestic violence.

Some of their accomplishments include:

Authoring a book, A Community Secret: the Story of Two Filipinas, which was printed by AWS and distributed for free at Filipino businesses

Forming a court watch to support the survivor and her family

Putting on a forum for one hundred Filipino community leaders about domestic violence

Submitting their stories as testimony for passage of the immigrant provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Making a film documentary

Helping advocate for changes to ambulance protocol

CREATIVE INTERVENTIONS
AWS has been a collaborative partner of Creative Interventions, an Oakland-based initiative centered on developing and sharing concrete tools to support everyday people to address violence.

AWS works with representatives from Creative Interventions, Shimtuh, Narika and La Clinica de la Raza to develop tools to address and transform violence in their communities through three years of on-the-ground work supporting community members. AWS is working with Creative Interventions to craft that on-the-ground experience into a toolkit - a practical and useful resource for those doing community-based violence interventions.

Systems Advocacy + Change

AWS believes it has a responsibility to prevent systems from revictimizing the communities we serve. We use our organizational power to change institutions and systems until they meet the needs of everyone. The voices and experiences of our constituents are brought to the forefront of efforts to advance services and response to survivors of violence. This is done through:

Direct interventions Domestic Violence training for law enforcement Collaboration with the legal system Legislation advocacy COALITIONS & COLLABORATIONS AWS strongly believes in developing meaningful partnerships in order to offer more comprehensive services and advocate effectively for the legal, cultural, and societal changes that matter to our communities. We seek to avoid the duplication of services and build a cohesive, diverse network of resources for survivors who are seeking support. By encouraging community collaboratives, we help break down the isolation and create a community response toward ending violence against women.

[[LINK TO OUR PARTNERS TO COME]]

Capacity Building
TRAINING
AWS has a long-standing commitment to building the capacity of other organizations. In doing so we strengthen programs and partnerships, diminish organizational isolation and build the momentum and power of a social justice movement to end violence against women. We understand the importance of building the capacity of both anti-violence organizations and other agencies to become allies in the movement. For example, we have:

Provided trainings to a San Francisco public high school group called Young Asian Women Against Violence. Community education, workshops and trainings help participants understand what healthy relationships look like and how to respond when violence happens. Provided training to monks at a local Thai temple to understand domestic violence so they can provide support and resources to women survivors. AWS provides training and technical assistance nationally and internationally on anti-oppression frameworks and practices, anti-homophobia, cultural competency, language access and on the intersection of domestic violence and anti-trafficking work.
NATIONAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
AWS believes in sharing information and resources to strengthen the widespread efforts to end violence. To that end we launched the National Peer-to-Peer Technical Assistance (TA) program in 2002 to provide technical assistance and support to organizations in the United States that are focused on domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and stalking. Our unique peer-to-peer model allows us to tailor the training based on the program and/or organizational development needs of particular organizations.

Through this national and international work, we share globally and act locally to help break the sense of isolation experienced by local groups scattered across the country and the world. We have designed the peer-to-peer program to connect advocates and activists. We visit participant groups in their own neighborhoods and communities; in this way, we deepen relationships, strengthen technical assistance and empower each other to address the particular needs of our own communities.

Through funding from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), AWS works with 5 - 7 agencies each year and provides more limited support (i.e., via e-mail/phone) to 20-50 agencies annually.
POWERFUL PEER FORUMS
After each 12-16 month cycle of peer-to-peer technical assistance, AWS hosts a powerful peers forum at which representatives from participating organizations come together to engage in meaningful dialogue, strategy-sharing and movement building work.

For our 4th Powerful Peers forum in March 2009, AWS brought together representatives from former as well as current peer-to-peer TA sites. Almost all former sites sent representatives to attend the three-day forum.

THE GOAL

Good Samaritan's goal is to be the go-to source for free parenting support, information, and education amongst Spanish-speakers in the City who are looking for community.

OUR APPROACH

We are a bilingual Family Resource Center that integrates lessons on brain science, child development, parent leadership, and Latino and Native traditions in our programs. Mixing peer-to-peer conversation and facilitator-led education, we build on immigrant families' dreams, values and ingenuity.

OUR PROGRAMS

Making Participation Easier

*Good Samaritan designs programs to have dual benefits for parent and child. Caregivers enrolled in our Parent Support Groups or our English as a Second Language program may cross-enroll their young children in Kids' Club, a free school-readiness program. Scheduled at the same time, children and parents can each participate in what Good Samaritan has to offer.

HOW TO ENROLL

To get started, please contact us.

ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS

Good Samaritan welcomes Spanish-speakers new to our organization to one-on-one meetings with a friendly, bilingual member of our team. Together, you will explore services that may match your needs. Our team can connect your family to childcare, schools, food, classes, immigration services, other Latino-friendly organizations, and more.

What emancipation means

You are free from the custody and control of your parents (or guardians)

If you're emancipated, you can do many things that you would normally need your parent's permission to do. For example, you can live where you want. You can also apply for a work permit, keep the money you earn, get a credit card, and sign up for school without needing your parent's permission or consent.

Even if you aren't emancipated, you can get certain types of medical care without a parent's permission. Learn more

Your parents are no longer required to support you

If you're emancipated, you'll need to support yourself. Your parents are no longer required to support you and no longer control your finances. You will be responsible for any money you owe, and you can also be sued in court.

You are not a legal adult in all ways - you are an "emancipated minor"

Some laws that apply to children will still apply to you. For example, you still must go to school. You would still need your parent's permission to marry. You have to wait until you are 18 to vote, and wait until you are 21 to drink or buy alcohol. Someone who has sex with an emancipated minor can still be arrested for statutory rape, unless they are legally married to each other.

How to become emancipated

There are three ways to get emancipated:

1. Get legally married. In California, anyone under 18 must have a parent's permission and get permission from the court to get married.

2. Join the military. If you are under 18, you must have permission from your parent and the military.

3. Get a court order saying you are emancipated. You can get emancipated if you file an application (a petition) and a judge signs a court order called a Declaration of Emancipation. For a judge to sign, you need to prove:

You're at least 14 years old.

You aren't living with your parents. Your parents don't mind that you moved out.

You can handle your own money and pay your bills.

You have a legal way to make money.

Emancipation would be good for you.

How to get a Declaration of Emancipation
Am I emancipated if I had a baby?

There may be options other than emancipation

You may want to consider going to counseling with your parents or getting help from a public or private agency. You could also live with another adult, like a family member or family friend.

Whether to become emancipated is a serious decision. Talk to a trusted adult and ask a lawyer questions. You can also get more information from Legal Services for Children, which has an Emancipation Manual for teenagers. Your local court's Self-Help Center staff may be able to give you more information about the court process, and you may be able to get advice from a free or low-cost lawyer.

Established in 1985, Hamilton Families is San Francisco's leading service provider to families experiencing homelessness.

Our Mission

Hamilton Families' mission is to end family homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our pioneering homelessness prevention and housing subsidy programs are nationally recognized. In addition, we provide shelter and stability, and support the well-being of children experiencing homelessness.

Meet the families we serve in our documentary short films

Hamilton Families seeks to break the cycle of poverty for the families we serve by supporting families' efforts to stabilize and thrive as they move from homelessness into housing and settle into their new communities. To help bring attention to the stories of those families, we partnered with San Francisco-based media maker BAVC Media, with support from Google.org, to produce three documentary short films, each on a family who has participated in one of our programs. Watch all three now streaming on Argo.

About a Home

Precious Sarria and her family experienced homelessness and housing insecurity for over two years. After moving into housing with the help of Hamilton Families, they documented their lives to raise awareness for the rising homelessness in the Bay Area.

What You'll Remember

After 15 years of bouncing from unsafe apartments to couches to shelters to the streets, parents Elizabeth and David write a letter to their children, describing their experience of homelessness while waiting for housing assistance, and expressing their deep belief that family can create home when there is no house.

Hogar

Maria and her 6 year old son, Emmanuel, recount their memories of being unhoused in San Francisco before being helped by Hamilton Families and what home means to them. In this bilingual animated children's film, we hear Maria's story, and the efforts she takes to support her son.

"

November 2021

"In celebration of Homelessness Awareness Month, Hamilton Families and its studio partner BAVC Media have partnered with the short film streaming platform to launch a playlist called Finding Home which features all three of our documentary short films on family homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area."

"Three Hamilton Families Documentary Films to Stream Now on Argo," Hamilton Families on Medium.com / Read Full Article

At Hamilton Families, we believe that regular people who care deeply enough can spark real change in ending family homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area. We invite you to take action in your community; whether you volunteer in one of over 1,000 service opportunities a year, or create a fundraiser to help "Support-A-Family" in their housing stability, or you want to become a Landlord Partner, you have come to the the right place.

Support Families

Make a difference in a family's life by learning how you can give as an individual or group, or finding other ways to help.

Volunteer opportunities

Join our efforts to end family homelessness by volunteering with us as an individual or a group.

Become a Landlord Partner

As a landlord, you understand the meaning of home. Join us to offer that vital first step to a family who is ready to be housed.

Restoring lives...one woman at a time.

WRA's individualized and integrated clinical services are designed to address the complexity of women's needs. The clinical program is the core of every treatment plan for women in the residential, perinatal residential, outpatient, and continuing care program.

Our comprehensive programming includes individual and family counseling, group therapy, and educational groups that focus on women's recovery from substance use disorder and related addictive behaviors, such as eating disorders and nicotine dependence. In addition, WRA provides specialized services that address:

Co-occurring mental health disorders

Recovery from trauma and abuse

Emotion management and relapse prevention

Health and wellness

Relationships and building community

Increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy

Issues specific to young women, ages 18-24

WRA began in 1964 as a support group for alcoholic women started by Sister Anna Marie Towers. The organization was incorporated in 1970 and opened its first residential treatment program in 1973, in San Mateo. Women's Recovery Association joined the HealthRIGHT 360 family of programs in 2014.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first got there. After meeting the staff and getting to know the other women, I found another family there. I learned a lot about me and my addiction and with the support of staff and going to meetings, I have been given my life back. My family appreciates the program as well.
