ORGANIZATION: STAND! For Families Free of Violence
Please visit the new page to apply.
STAND! For Families Free of Violence is the only agency in Contra Costa County solely dedicated to preventing and supporting victims of domestic violence. Our programs aim to Save Lives, Rebuild Families, and Change the Future. We have a 24/7 Crisis Line, Emergency Shelter, support groups, school-based programs, and legal advocacy. We also have therapy programs for children who have experienced and/or been witness to violence. That's where you come in!
We know that providing child victims with therapy can be one way to heal the traumatic impacts of domestic violence. Our clinicians utilize "play therapy" as a tool with children to help them process and cope with their experiences. Since children are not always able to verbalize what they've experienced or how they are feeling, clinicians design "play activities" specifically to help children communicate and heal.
We are looking for someone to build us at least 6-10 sets of 30 blocks of different shapes, colors, and sizes. These sets will be used at our various therapy offices across the county. These blocks have been specifically requested by our clinicians as they are a great tool for trauma-based play therapy.
If you are interested in supporting us, we'll be happy to provide further details! We hope to hear from you soon and appreciate your desire to partner with us to end domestic violence in Contra Costa County.

Mission Statement
STAND! For Families Free of Violence is a catalyst for breaking the multi-generational cycle of violence, promoting safe and strong relationships, and rebuilding lives.
Description
STAND! For Families Free of Violence is committed to promoting safe and strong families. Our approach to eliminating family violence is well-rounded and community-wide. In addition to providing a complete spectrum of prevention, intervention, and treatment programs, we also enlist the efforts of local residents, partners, and institutions, all of whom are striving with us to stop domestic violence and child abuse.
STAND! is a founding member of the "Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative", a cross-sector organization working for 10 years to help solve domestic violence, sexual assault and children exposed to violence. But we cannot achieve our mission without the help of every individual, every school, every faith community, every neighborhood, and every business.
Whether our volunteers are answering incoming calls to our crisis line, being STAND's representative at speaking events, or fundraising, they are a vital part of STAND!.
