Community Violence Prevention
and Intervention Program

Domestic violence has a profound, long-term impact on men, women, children, families and the community as a whole. As one of the oldest domestic violence intervention programs in Washington State, our Community Violence Program includes prevention and intervention components — both are key to changing the pattern of learned violence.
