SCAN's Milestones
As we look toward the end of this year and into 2015, we are grateful to celebrate some significant anniversaries in the life of SCAN. Jeanine Harper, Executive Director of SCAN, celebrates 15 years in her leadership role. Jeanine continues to carry the important mission and work of SCAN as it evolves and expands throughout our community.
In November, we celebrate 10 years of the work of the Child Advocacy Center (CAC). Since its opening in 2004, the CAC has provided a place of hope and healing for children and families. The work of the CAC improves the investigation, treatment and prosecution of child abuse cases. It is a place for collaboration between the adults who ensure children's safety and wellbeing, including medical personnel, law enforcement, and Child Protective Services professionals.
To celebrate and honor the work of the CAC, we will be gathering current and past colleagues along with supporters of the CAC on November 17th to enjoy an evening of fellowship and fun. It will be held at the CAC and will begin at 5pm and offer light refreshments and appetizers.

Get Ready to Grow For the Kids
The Richmond chapter of Mustaches for KidsŪ (M4K Richmond) are kicking off their annual mustache growing fundraiser. What began as a somewhat bizarre and humorous fundraising concept has grown into an active 501 (c)(3) Nonprofit Organization with over 120 annual growers raising $90,000 in 2013 and more than $200,000 cumulatively since 2003.
SCAN has been a benefiting organization for the last 3 years with over $60,000 donated to SCAN during that time.
The 2014 Growing Season kicks off on November 5th from 5pm-8pm at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and extends through December 5th. During the four-week Growing Season, each Grower sprouts mustaches. Per the bylaws they shave their faces except for the mustache a minimum of one time per week and solicit donations from friends, family, co-workers, and people in the community.
Please consider participating and supporting this great organization!

Back to SCAN
As a native Richmonder, Sam Dibert has always known he wanted to give back to his community. Growing up, Sam said he always had great role models who led the way for his involvement with SCAN. "My parents and grandparents were always dedicated to charitable organizations and helping their community. It was a natural choice for me to become involved and give back."
Currently Sam is Sales Manager for a family business, Dibert Valve and Fitting Company, and a 2008 graduate from Virginia Tech. He joined the Board of Young Professionals more than 2 years ago and has been an active Board member and dedicated supporter of SCAN's mission.
"The choice to get involved with SCAN was easy. You can see the impact of the work SCAN does within the community and the lives they touch." said Sam. "SCAN's impact does not just stop with the children they serve, but can extend to an entire family, generations to come, and the surrounding community."

Trauma Information Intervention for Preschoolers
An Inter-Disciplinary Approach
November 19, 2014
5pm-7pm
Student Commons: Richmond Salons
Virginia Commonwealth University
Free-Everyone Welcome
This 2 hour workshop will provide an overview of the essential best practice components of trauma information treatment response with preschoolers who have experienced trauma. The presentation combines the expertise of occupational therapists, social workers and early childhood educators to demonstrate the essential role each discipline contributes and the importance of using interdisciplinary approach.
This workshop is made possible through a community engagement grant from VCU, enabling SCAN to enrich our program with even more sensory motor experiences for children while providing more of the therapeutic services they need to heal. Joining occupational therapy students and social work students in collaborative learning and practice, is an exciting opportunity to enable the essential inter-professional work necessary to become successful professionals in helping children who have experienced developmental trauma.
