Guiding Philosophy

Domestic violence is a crime of power and control most often inflicted on women and children.

Domestic violence in any form is abuse and is unjustifiable.

Each person has dignity and worth and is entitled to a safe environment.

Batterers must be held accountable.

Every person is responsible for their own behavior. Survivors do not cause the abuse.

Children from violent homes are at risk. Violent behavior is a learned response and is often passed down from generation to generation.

All victims have the right to information, support and services to become safe and independent.

A coordinated community response to domestic violence is most effective for intervention and prevention.
