CACADV members share a common vision of ending violence in the lives of Californians through public policy, advocacy, education and activities that increase the capacity of programs and communities to address violence.

CACDV seeks to work with members of the business community, to ensure that victims and their co-workers will be safe and productive on the job. By learning about domestic violence, including its impact on the workplace, employers will be able to develop a safety plan for the workplace. Our dedicated staff works to make the community aware of issues, problems, policy and legislation regarding Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault is a public health problem and a community problem as well as an interpersonal one. It destroys relationships and households, and has adverse affects on everyone who lives in the home, including pets.

CACADV supports the development and provision of services to domestic violence victims and provides a forum for its members to meet regularly in order to network, receive training, and identify resources.

CACADV works to improve systems that respond to domestic violence through education and training and to work toward the elimination of domestic violence by exposing its root causes through public awareness of the problem, the need for change, and the services available in California.
