MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Center for Advancing Domestic Peace is to end the destructive cycles of emotional, sexual, and physical domestic abuse through comprehensive, culturally responsive direct service, community education, and research.
Our vision is a community in which abuse and violence directed against intimate partners and family members is a rare aberration rather than an every-day reality.
Our work is founded on our belief that most people are not abusive by nature; that those who have chosen to abuse can change and that challenging the beliefs that justify abusive behavior is key to changing those behaviors. We express this belief in our direct service program by helping participants to examine the beliefs they have about using abusive behavior and by helping them to practice skills that can empower them to choose to relate and communicate without abuse or violence.
"Everyone Has a Role in Helping End Domestic Violence."
