DocuSign Envelope ID: 74839431 - 9216- 429F- BFA4- 2AC6473BD9D3 EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION When those convicted of domestic violence are referred to the PAI program, they are not the sole beneficiaries of the service. Obviously, our program is expected to improve the lives of our participants' current and future partners as well as their children and other family members. This occurs not only due to participants' improved treatment of their partners and children throughout the course of our programming, but also due to our contact with victims and partners to ensure their connection to victim service resources. g) Describe the credentials of the program manager and other key staff. (Ex. Identify Program Manager and credentials, describe training provided to volunteers, etc.) Pathways to Change's Executive Director, Kathryn Bauman, serves as program manager for its PAI program. Ms. Bauman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. She received 24 hours of training in the EMERGE Abuser Treatment Model in Arlington, MA in February of 2017 and has received, along with program facilitators, more than 10 hours of ongoing supervision from an expert in the Battering Intervention and Prevention Program field, Prior to her work at Pathways, Ms. Bauman ran the Strong Fathers Program, which also serves men overcoming cycles of family violence. Current PAI facilitators include Sam Clayborn, who was trained in the Duluth Model of Abuser Treatment in 2010 and has worked in social justice, domestic violence intervention and prevention, and substance abuse treatment since the late 1980s; Deanna Manley, who recently retired from the Durham Crisis Response Center after 10 years supporting domestic violence victims there; and Kaye Usry, a professor at Elon University with 3 years of experience facilitating PAI groups. Chris Dove, a very dedicated volunteer with extensive training on intimate partner violence and sexual assault, also facilitates our groups. As training for her volunteer responsibilities, Ms. Dove observed our contract facilitators for several months and participated in our twice- monthly consultation calls. h) Describe the specific period over which the activities will be carried out and include an implementation timeline. Because our PAI program operates on an "open group" format, which allows for rolling enrollment, participants can be referred and enrolled at any time during the program year. Outreach, recruitment, enrollment, and intervention delivery will occur simultaneously from July 1 — June 30th. i) Why is funding this program a good investment for the community? How does funding this program add value to the community? (280 words OR LESS) No other program in the greater Orange County area provides the kind of education and re- programming available to participants through Pathways' PAI program. Participants often arrive completely convicted of their beliefs regarding the role of men and women in relationships and feeling justified for their abusive and controlling behaviors. Over the course of our program's 26 weeks, they are exposed to ideas and opinions that challenge their belief systems and illustrate ways to increase equity and relationship satisfaction for Both partners as well as other family members.
