COMMENTARY | AN EYE-OPENING APRIL OBSERVANCE

Child abuse a community matter; learn the signs ing victims of child abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention and treatment – approximately 5.8 million children in the United States were involved in an estimated 3.2 million child abuse reports and allegations in 2007. Child Help calls child abuse and neglect “a hidden epidemic.” Perhaps one of the reasons it remains hidden is that we as a society are not talking about it enough. Child abuse is not just a family

COVER

Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month is a time to reflect on a topic that makes most people feel uncomfortable. The mere thought of children experiencing mental or physical injury from abuse is unsettling. Bring it up as a topic of conversation and watch people make a dash for the exit. For some, talk of child abuse

brings back unpleasant memories or evokes strong feelings and emotions they thought were long forgotten. Occasionally, the topic instigates anger and even disgust. However, regardless of how it makes people feel, child abuse occurs in every community at an alarming rate. Research shows one-in-four girls and one-in-six boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthday. According to Child Help – an organization support-

matter, it is a community issue. Awareness of the signs of abuse and the community resources that can help are vital to detection and response. The acknowledgment of the existence and extent of child abuse, having open and honest dialog and the willingness to report suspicions are great preventative measures. A primary mission of the Army Community Service Family Advocacy Program at Fort Lee is child abuse prevention. FAP offers a variety of psycho-educational programs including parenting classes, Stress and Anger Management and the New Parent Support Program. It takes courage and commitment to advocate for children,

As it stands, Sgt. 1st Class Felicia Griffin is required to provide roughly four hours of Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention training to 600 or so Soldiers monthly in her position as the victim advocate for the 262th Quartermaster Battalion. But that does not sit well with the 18-year Soldier. By her estimation, much more is needed to help junior troops gain not only a better understanding of SHARP but the causes and effects of their behaviors and actions. “I want them to understand not only the SHARP program but how their actions (whether negative or positive) could affect them and the people around them,” she said. “We always talk about the after-effects, which is great, and we do focus on prevention, but at the same time, do Soldiers really know what happens when someone is victimized? They probably don’t.” Griffin’s vehicle for enhanced SHARP learning is the Roundtree Mentorship Program, an effort that was already in place when she first became the battalion victim advocate in 2014. Roundtree is a mentorship program that explores relationships as a basis for sexual harassment and assault, covering a range of communication and

Sgt. 1st Class Felicia Griffin, the 262nd Quartermaster Battalion’s victim advocate, talks to students about the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention program recently. Griffin also offers assistance and education through the Roundtree Mentorship Program, which is a more in-depth exploration of human relationships.

behavioral issues. Griffin said the program conducts about two sessions per month. Participation is voluntary. “The whole program is based on preventing bad relationships,” she said. Roundtree’s dominant area of focus is communication. Griffin said facilitating candid discussions on how wants and desires are conveyed among partners, how lingo can sometimes distort expectations and perceptions about consent are key to helping Soldiers make sense of relationships. Among them, con-

sent is a topic Griffin takes delight in breaking down for students. She is frank, honest and goes as far as explaining the actions of two parties exchanging affections leading up to “getting busy,” student parlance for having sex. “What if you were kissing and all of a sudden your hand slides down to her buttocks?” posed Griffin in a question typically directed at male Soldiers. “Did she consent to that?’ They’ll respond, ‘Do you mean I have to ask someone for permission to touch their booty?’ I’ll say ‘If you want to stay

out of my office you do.’” Roundtree is bolstered by the instruction of Jane Clayborne, director of community relations, James House, a Hopewell shelter and advocacy organization for victims of sexual and domestic abuse. Clayborne’s training sessions focus on good relationships versus bad and are interactive, engaging and dynamic, said Griffin. “She conducts activities that require responses from participants,” she said, noting they are typically asked to make assessments of behavior and choices regarding rela-

tionships. “There’s probably about 10 classes I do altogether,” said Claiborne. “They all kind of lead up to taking your time, taking a step back, thinking about what you’re doing and thinking about where the other person is coming from.” Lt. Col. Brian Wolford, commander, 262nd QM Bn., said Roundtree rounds out the battalion’s SHARP training program in that it is more comprehensive and appealing to students. “It takes it to a level where it is a little less formal and a little less rigid,” he said. “Every week, we get in 100-200 new students so we start the (SHARP) training over and over again. In the mentorship program, we work in smaller groups. We allow for the interplay of communication between our new Soldiers and folks like Sgt. 1st Class Griffin, who have the personality and training, institutional knowledge and SEE SHARP, PAGE 5

celebrating women of honor Col. Angelia Holbrook, deputy executive officer for the 39th Army Chief of Staff and the Women’s Mentorship Network national president, discusses how women and men have overcome diversity during her talk at the Fort Lee Women’s History Month observance March 31 in the Lee Theater. The event was hosted by the 59th Ordnance Brigade. Holbrook focused on the theme of the 2016 national observance, “Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government.” That focus, Holbrook observed, is appropriate and thought-provoking. “Day in and day out in our military, women are living lives of honor in big and small ways to underscore the value of women and the service they bring to the Army.” Holbrook expressed the importance of men and women having a mentor in their career. “Having a mentor is like a two-way street, for both parties, to learn and grow, and bring up the next generation,” she said. “If you do not have a mentor, I suggest start looking for one who you respect and want to become. Don’t stop there. Everyday people walk into our organizations, a little scared, and anxious on what this Army is all about. That means, you can be a mentor.” The observance also featured historical skits performed by 59th Ord. Bde. staff members and a cake-cutting at the conclusion of the event. Lesley Maceyak

Jeff Delp, an instructor at the Army Logistics University; and Norine Andrews, resident service specialist for Monroe Manor, pose for a photo with a plaque and $1,000 check that was presented to Delp for winning first place in an energy conservation contest from Hunt Communities and Minol. The contest required participants to reduce energy consumption by 10 percent to be entered into a drawing for cash prizes.

A resident of the Monroe Manor housing area here has won a $1,000 cash prize from a contest in which military families across the country were asked to reduce their energy consumption by at least 10 percent during the last quarter of 2015. Capt. Jeff Delp received a check and certificate Monday from Fort Lee Family Housing staffers representing Hunt Communities, the company that manages military housing at installations across the country. It co-hosted the contest with Minol USA, the organization that manages the energy program for the company. The contest ran from October – December and was open to the entire portfolio of Hunt Communities, said Charleen Herriott, Fort Lee Family Housing community director. More than 8,000 families – 700 from Fort Lee alone – were entered into the drawing that awarded $1,000, $750 and $500 to first, second and third place, respectively. The Delp family was randomly selected as the first place winner. “October through December are usually our high energy usage months due to the holidays and colder temperatures,” said Herriott. “The Delp family was able to achieve lower than normal usage in their home.” Winning the award was a surprise, said

Delp, who guessed his wife probably signed them up for the contest last year. “We received this for making our kids play outside and turning off lights when we’re not in the room?” Delp questioned with a hint of amazement when he received the award check. Delp – who has been assigned to Fort Lee for two years – said the award reaffirms his belief that simple things can make a difference in energy usage. “We’ve always been energy conscious,” he said. “We came to Fort Lee from Canada where the electric bill is crazy so that made us very disciplined to shutting off lights when we aren’t in a room. We’re outside people and when you’re outside a lot, you don’t need to have the A/C or the heat very high because you’re used to the temperature. In the winter, we set it to 68 F and in the summer, we set it to 74 F.” Hunt Communities and Minol have held several contests like this, but it was the first time a Fort Lee family was the grand winner. Aside from prizes like this, housing residents can earn checks for lowering their energy usage, said Herriott. “If they conserve and reach a $50 credit, they get a $50 check sent to them,” she said. “Residents earn the credit by having lower energy consumption than is the baseline for energy in post housing.”

enhances instruction Continued from page 3 empathy to really develop and get at the key issues. “On any given day, we have roughly 1,200 Soldiers in our ranks. They were civilians three or four months ago. Whatever they learned or didn’t learn about how to treat others for the first 1822 years of their lives, we have a very short window to ensure they know our values ... what’s acceptable in Army culture and what’s not.” As it stands, Roundtree mentors somewhere between 30-40 Soldiers monthly, said Griffin, but those numbers might not be indicative of the program’s

success. She said a better indication is the number of sexual harassment and assault cases the battalion has on the books, which is currently zero. It is something the battalion can take pride in, but it is also a personal achievement, said Griffin – evidence her efforts and interest in developing Soldiers have paid off. “I love my job because I like to giving back,” said Griffin. “When someone gives something to me, I want to reciprocate. By doing that, if I help one person, I’m helping many because that one person can go out and make a difference in somebody else’s life.”

Kenner continued his service in Europe and retired from active duty June 30, 1949. As Kenner celebrates its rich history April 23, the clinic will continue to focus on providing exceptional health care, Venable emphasized. Kenner’s staff works to build and maintain wellness in its patients’ lives. Kenner recently adopted a new vision statement – “We aspire to be the DOD’s premier system for health” – and a new mission statement, “We are committed to the delivery of exceptional and compassionate patient-centered care.” Both statements reflect Kenner’s goal of shaping a healthier future for Team Lee. Anyone with questions about the 5K run or the FLASC scholarship fund can obtain additional info by emailing flascevents@gmail.com or visiting the club’s website. For more information on the health fair, contact the Kenner Public Affairs Office at (804) 734-9086. All visitors to Fort Lee who do not have a DOD-issued identification card or a valid previously issued post pass must complete a background check before being allowed to enter the installation. These individuals will need to use the drive-through Visitor Control Center at Sisisky Gate to complete the access control procedure that typically takes around 10 minutes.

Army Community Service employees Frenchi Watts Kemp and Katrina Leverette help create a pinwheel garden Friday on the lawn near their building along Mahone Avenue. Everybody on the ACS team helped complete the annual project that serves as a reminder of Fort Lee’s observance of Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. The pinwheels represent the fun and innocence of children in the community, and the garden reflects the team approach needed to stop child abuse through awareness, education and reporting. Leverette is among the Family Advocacy Program staffers who have organized a number of events this month to raise additional awareness. They include a Fitness Bootcamp event Tuesday at Williams Stadium and a basketball tournament on April 29 at MacLaughlin Fitness Center.

EO course prepares leaders to handle discrimination concerns Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor

About 30 Soldiers and one government civilian employee attended the quarterly Equal Opportunity Leaders’ Course March 24-31 at the Fort Lee Diversity Office. The course – aimed at Equal Opportunity Leaders from Fort Lee and other regional military organizations – develops personnel who can assist with EO training and informal complaint issues for commanders and unit directors, said Master Sgt. Tornald Hall, the senior EO advisor for CASCOM. These individual also help with special ethnic observances at their respective installations. “Unit leaders should use these individuals as a combat multiplier of personnel to help support the EO program within their organization,� said Hall. “These trained professionals

are carefully screened and selected to ensure they meet all the standards to serve in these positions because they will be the face of the command to help resolve discrimination issues at the lowest levels.� Any Soldier above the rank of sergeant promotable can serve in EOL positions. In some cases,

Army Civilians can attend the course to help organizations deal with informal service member concerns, but the Installation Equal Employment Opportunity has certified training for dealing with civilian employment issues, said Hall. “EOLC candidates learn the basic skills to help commands

and directorates maintain a positive climate and to serve as the first level of defense to handle discriminatory concerns at the lowest level possible,� said Hall. “Our goal is to provide equal opportunity and fair treatment for troops, their families and civilians without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin and sexual orientation.�

Sgt. 1st Class Antonio Crawley, an EO advisor at the installation EO office, was one of the trainers for the event and said the course is vital to the Army’s mission. “Maintaining equality in the workplace is important to the Army,� he said. “In the Equal Opportunity Leaders Course, students learn how to identify discrimination issues and promote equality thoughout their organization. They develop a base of knowledge and skills that allow them to assess the climates in the organizations they serve, and to provide advice and assistance to commanders to prevent, reduce or eliminate discriminatory practices.� One of the students from the latest course – Staff Sgt. Chris Bennett, a National Guard Soldier from the 29th Infantry Division Headquarters, Fort Belvoir – said he would definitely recommend it to others interested in serving their commands as an EO leader. “I learned more about myself and others, as well as some common biases, misconceptions and stereotypes that can ultimately lead to discrimination,� he said. “The instructors did an outstanding job.�
