Mission Statement

The Domestic Violence Resource Center of South County (DVRCSC) is a nonprofit agency that works toward a future free of violence, and to build a community in which each individual shares the responsibility to create a culture of safety and personal dignity. We work collaboratively to offer safety, support, advocacy, education and a network of services to the residents of Washington County. The DVRCSC is dedicated to both preventing and responding to domestic violence by working to change the social conditions, beliefs and social actions that perpetuate abuse.

Description

Constituents know DVRCSC as a positive, safe and accessible agency where people are treated with dignity and respect. Passionate and professional staff and volunteers go above and beyond to understand, advocate for and support those impacted by domestic violence. Whether through community-based support groups, the helpline, educational programs, safe housing, our network of support services, court advocacy initiatives or partner referrals, DVRCSC is there when people are most in need. We empower people to avoid or break cycles of violence, to choose safety over fear, and to prioritize balanced, healthy relationships.
