News & Events

Domestic violence program advocates, survivors, public officials, and others, participate in a wide variety of activities that publicize this important issue. Activities often support common themes but usually focus on events that have affected that particular community.

Take a look around your community and see what you can do in the fight against domestic violence. Contact your local centers/agencies for more information on how you can do your part in ending the violence. CCADV hopes such events will celebrate the strength and courage of those who have been affected by domestic violence while raising public awareness of what is often a silent epidemic.

During the month of October the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence joins with other state coalitions and domestic violence programs across the country to commemorate the lives of victims of domestic violence and to raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence. Our goal is to educate the public about the effects of domestic violence on families and to find ways in which we can all work together to promote safety and eliminate domestic violence in our communities.
