WHAT WE DO

Direct Services

Our advocates are available to help clients and community with direct services and inquiries.

Advocacy

We stand against all types of violence, and will do what we can to support community members who have been impacted, regardless of the type of violence committed.

Training

Our advocates travel throughout Virginia to lead training to allied and mainstream organizations on issues that impact the community at large, from LGBTQ+ 101 to Transformative Justice.

Outreach

We are committed to showing up in community in as many ways as we can.

Storytelling

We are in the process of creating our Storytelling Podcast Project, and we need volunteers!

Anti-Violence Knowledge

We aim to provide referrals and information to aid with both immediate and long-term needs, including a Spanish glossary for important anti-violence and trauma-informed language.
