What we aim to solve
Survivor Resource Network, Inc. believes that survivors of family violence, both in the work force and at home, have a vital influence on the lives of their families and those around them. Therefore, the agency will work to oppose the use of violence and coercive control and support equality in all types of relationships and help survivors of intimate partner violence assume control over their own lives. SRN understands that the rural community in which it operates presents its own unique challenges and dedicates itself to removing those barriers to living safely and independently.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are committed to providing on-going trauma informed support services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking and their families as we understand that treating a whole person by taking into account past trauma and the resulting coping mechanisms is the best means of helping a survivor begin their recovery.
We are committed to providing confidential consultation to survivors and education to the community, government, and private social service, criminal justice, health, welfare, and other agencies.
We are committed to helping survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking acquire the information, resources and survival skills necessary to take control of their own lives.
We support and involve in our program survivors of all racial, social, ethnic, religious, economic, age groups and life styles.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Creating public awareness by using strategic and integrated messages to publicize our mission and our services. The more community stakeholders that are aware of our services - the more survivors that get support.
Increasing financial stability through a development of current resources and addition of new funders. Adding more clientele requires funding more dedicated staff and offering more programs and services.
Providing and measuring outcomes for staff and clients through feedback, assessments and reviews to make sure we are providing services that are on trend and relevant to the needs of our community.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our agency's capabilities of meeting our goals lie with the utilization of our staff and board members.
The staff has increased consistent messaging on many social media platforms and increased participation at local community events to increase visibility. SRN has made lasting relationships with local tribal contacts, schools, and other local non-profit agencies. The administration developed newsletters and mailings to keep our agency in the thoughts of community stakeholders.
Our financial sustainability falls to our board members. They will continue to nurture positive emerging trends and enact changes according to various federal funders. Additionally, we have increased the functionality of our governance to allow for more active role in community engagement. The board members continue in their role of maintaining and operating our annual fundraising events.
The administrative staff continuously looks for gaps and areas for development with the staff and the agency programs.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
After a review of community needs, SRN has created a new program for justice involved victims of domestic violence that creates a safe place to return to after being released from incarceration.
SRN gained a new community fundraising event in the form of a Summer Herb Festival that engages many local communities and offers the city an increase in tourism.
We were able to add a kennel and safe place for animals so survivors can bring their pets with them when fleeing their dangerous homes.
Our next goals are to update our webpage to a more streamlined resource for survivors and focus on the accessibility of our agency and it's programs for those that live with disabilities.
