Our Mission

To advocate with compassion for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, educate the public about such forms of abuse, develop programs to help prevent abuse in the future, and provide leadership on issues of concern to many of our community members.

 

This agency's services are delivered without discrimination by reason of race, color, religion, disability, pregnancy, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnicity, income, veteran status, marital status, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state or local law.

 

CADA advocates provide information on survivors' rights and options but this service should not be construed as legal advice.

Advocates and our staff are NOT attorneys or paralegals.

Clients are encouraged to contact an attorney for legal assistance around any and all of their legal issues.

 

Services are provided through grants from the state and federal government, local and regional foundations, and the generous support of our community. Donations are deeply appreciated.
