Our Mission
The mission of the Violence Prevention Center is to foster a community which cultivates healthy relationships, empowers systems to serve individuals with compassion, and does not tolerate violence. We serve all who have been affected by or subjected to domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Who We Serve
Anyone can be affected by or subjected to domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or human trafficking (DV/SA/HT)
The VPC works with anyone who currently is or has been affected by or subjected to DV/SA/HT including minors. We work with primary survivors as well as secondary survivors. Secondary survivors are those who are close to the primary survivor and suffer consequences of the violence alongside the primary survivor. Secondary survivors can be friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, teachers, religious leaders, coaches, community members, and other roles. Our staff and volunteers create a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment for everyone.
