Show 14 l HILLTOP TIMES January 29, 2015 ' im Es Advocate From 2 someone to turn to when problems or questions came up. When we went to the hospital, it was the first opportunity to sit with my new client and talk with her alone. While we waited for the nurse to come collect evidence, I struggled to find words that would begin to build her trust in me. She didn't know me — why should she possibly trust a complete stranger? I tried to come up with the right things to say, but the only thing I tell her was that I would be her rock, and that I was here for whatever she needed on Challenged From 3 Leaders may feel like the necessary conversations remain outside the scope of their job. They may worry about being intrusive, or that they don't know what to say, McCauley said. "There are a number of barriers that cross sectors," she said. "These are all very real, and it's important that they are said so we can create strategies to address them." Consistently crossing the gap between deciding and acting requires leaders to clarify what they are committed to, and step into the person they aspire to be, Basik said. Leadership extends way beyond compliance her road to recovery. By the time we met with the Office of Special Investigations the next day, I was beginning to feel like my presence beside her was a blessing. I started to feel hopeful, and I started to believe that my time spent advocating on her behalf would be successful. Throughout that long day of interviews and listening to her talk about what had happened to her, I began to fully understand how strong she was. I knew I needed to be strong for her, too. When that was completed, the focus shifted to the relationship I would build with her. After hearing her talk about herself and the struggles she was having, with Air Force standards to demonstrating a true commitment to leading and developing others. "We're back to identities," he said. "It's got to start with ownership. You don't develop other people; you support them in developing themselves." Airmen took their notes and insights back to their respective working groups designed to create tools to help the Air Force prevent sexual assault. They were charged to lean into the conversation because everybody has a role in the developmental process. According to Basik, it starts with thoughts and habits of action. "You have the ability to shift and change the course of many young men and young women's lives," McCauley said. nearby, it was easy for me to talk with her and get advice. It also helped to build trust in her, because I could see that she really cared about helping my client in whatever way she could. Then the court martial began. I knew I had to be emotionally ready to take care of my client through a very stressful time in her recovery. While I sat in silence during other people's testimony, my mind was working hard to stay focused and not get upset. When my client took the stand to talk about what had happened to her, an array of emotion came flooding in, but mostly, I felt proud. I knew her hard times over the past year I began understanding her. No longer nervous that I would mess things up, my confidence in my abilities grew. Over the next year, we would talk about how her case was progressing. Whenever she had a question I didn't know, I felt really comfortable talking it over with the SARC or the Special Victims Council. The SVC was her legal adviser when it came to anything concerning her victim rights or the upcoming court martial. Having the SARC and the SVC as resources made it a lot easier to successfully advocate for her and make sure she was getting what she needed. Since the SVC was located From 3 external risk factors are compounded by individual barriers to taking action. Every person has their own personal barriers to overcome, such as shyness or fear. Successful prevention strategies will leverage protective measures, such as emotional health, empathy and connectedness to offset risk factors, Tharp said. Comprehensive approaches will impact individuals to communities for a "surround sound effect." Botvin expressed that each intervention designed to offset these external and internal risks should be developed to impact attitudes, knowledge and behaviors. The life skills approach decreases vulnerability to risks by bolstering social skills, teaching self-management, and increasing resilience. "We do not assume that people know how to cope with stress and anxiety, and we provide them with specific skills," Botvin said. "The skills I'm talking about are not taught in any systematic way. All of us kind of blunder through life, learning some of these things if we're lucky." All the speakers agreed that an effective sexual violence prevention strategy will be multi-faceted. There is no single magic bullet that will work. Consequently, each of these strategies will only be effective if Airmen own the process. "There is no policy, order or directive that can force an Airman to find some way to step in and do something," Edwards said. "Prevention only works, we're only going to get where we want to be, if we can engage intrinsic motivation." Throughout the summit, Airmen took the information from each session and applied it in working groups designed to create tools to help the Air Force prevent sexual assault. As they tackled the significant issue with lots of new information, Airmen were warned against falling into the trap of taking on too much at once. "Don't sacrifice depth for breadth," Tharp said. "Choose a few key risk factors or a few key approaches and really invest in those to get things started." • Hill AFB Job Openings Site were being taken care of, too. The commanders and first sergeants I met with took our concerns or needs very seriously and worked hard to make sure they were met. The legal office always took time to discuss the case in great detail, so we would know what to expect in the courtroom. I know my client is a survivor, and I have faith that she will continue to thrive even after she is standing on her own. I am proud to have been a part of this organization. I feel good about helping someone during a difficult time in her life — we are both stronger today because of what we went through together.

NIKKOR® LENS Violence had paid off, and she was standing up for herself, saying what had happened to her was not right. When the trial concluded, and I heard the verdict, my only concern was for my client. This was another chapter in her life, and it was closing. The stress of the pretrial hearings and the court martial were over. Now, I knew she would be able to continue down her path toward being a survivor.
