Over these last six years, she has made great strides in ensuring that victims receive timely and adequate services as well as the success of the agency. She has significantly grown this agency from increasing the number of advocates to the number of victims we have served under her leadership, to the numerous partnerships we have built. Under her direct leadership, advocates been able to go above and beyond in providing services to victims. She has continued to show up in the face of adversity to ensure our services are available to victims in the community throughout this pandemic.
Sandy has continued to prioritize the health and wellness of her team and the victims we serve. She has made steps to reduce the barriers many victims face to ensure victims can receive advocacy services and can access the free services available to them. She has expanded our programs allowing them to be more accessible to victims, especially during this ongoing pandemic. She is an inspiring leader that has developed a team responsible for helping both human and pet victims impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. We want to express our deepest gratitude for Sandy’s time and efforts to help others. We look forward to having many more wonderful years with you! Happy Work Anniversary! By: Shelby Bubnick & Savannah Tipton  Focusing on the positives in life can be difficult after experiencing trauma. An excellent way to lift your spirits is to write down everything you are grateful for. You can do this weekly or daily, whatever works for you and your schedule. Keeping a gratitude journal can improve your mood, make you more resilient, and can even help you live longer. It’s simple! Start your gratitude journal with five things you are grateful for. Repeat this activity at least once a week.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sandra Ziebold, CEO Telephone: (317)731.6131 Email: sandy@beaconofhopeindy.org Website: BeaconOfHopeIndy.Org Beacon of Hope Crisis Center Relocates to Larger Office Indianapolis, IN – Beacon of Hope Center for Women, Inc. (dba) Beacon of Hope Crisis Center (BOH) recently announced plans to move its corporate office to Perry Township in Indianapolis, IN in January of 2017. The agency serves individuals Statewide with primary numbers of service in Marion, Johnson and Hamilton counties; this new office will be more centrally located to all those that the agency serves. For BOH, a crisis center serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, the new office space means improved client service, new amenities for employees and room for growth. BOH will now occupy the middle section of a multi-tenant office building located in Indianapolis’ Perry Township. “The new floor plan will provide greater efficiency in how we serve clients. As we started to outgrow our current office, it became increasingly difficult to serve clients comfortably and efficiently in the building. We are now able to better serve clients with an appropriate waiting space, room for counseling and meeting space options to adequately spread out and accomplish all necessary for our clients within the new building. We expect this to improve internal and external communication, and most importantly our speed in responding to clients,” said Sandra Ziebold, Chief Executive Officer. “We were fortunate to find such a nice space in the area where our data shows that we are best suited to be for those we serve. We wanted to limit the impact that relocation could have on our clients and our employees. I don’t think we could have found a better location for our team. Our new location and enhanced operational efficiencies will help us continue to grow and evolve to keep pace with our client’s needs, allowing us to provide exceptional value and superior service along the way,” said Jackie Bowman Ponder, President Board of Director’s. Remodeling construction of the new space is slated to be complete by the first of January. BOH plans to move early to mid-January, at which time BOH’s new address will be: 6920 S. East Street Indianapolis, IN 46227 All BOH phone numbers and fax numbers will remain the same.
