Our Goals
Provide the opportunity for individuals and agencies within our own community to come together on a regular basis to network, learn about services and resources, train each other, identify system gaps and promote collaboration on ending sexual and domestic violence.
Research/identify, coordinate and promote effective community interventions that minimize domestic violence and sexual assault.
Influence the systems we work with to produce a continuum of prevention and response that raises standards of care/services for all victims to increase victim safety and perpetrator accountability.
Promote education and training to community residents, agencies, businesses, schools and other entities to include providing an annual conference or summit in our own community.
Annually assess our own structure and goals.
Serve as a consultant body for review of legislative and policy issues.
Make ourselves available as an educated body to consult with individuals and/or agencies in order to provide assistance, education and/or support in the overall goal of ending sexual and domestic violence.
