At NYSCADV, our work is to create and support the social change necessary to prevent and confront all forms of domestic violence. We do this by providing training and technical assistance for local domestic violence programs across New York State, working with communities to change our culture into one that doesn't condone violence, and advocating for policies to make sure that survivors across our state are provided the support they need to get safe and heal.
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
The collective voices of survivors and advocates, as expressed through the Coalition, will strengthen public and private response and prioritize domestic violence as a human rights issue.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. NYSCADV celebrates the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of the AAPI community. We stand in solidarity with advocates and organizations working to dismantle oppression and promote inclusivity and justice.
As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds this May, NYSCADV recognizes the intricate relationship between mental health and domestic violence. Our mental well-being profoundly influences every facet of our lives, from our connections with others to our professional endeavors and overall sense of fulfillment. Yet, domestic violence intertwines with these matters, creating a complex tapestry of challenges.
Formerly recognized as Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month, this month-long campaign aims to spotlight simple yet impactful actions that can transform the lives of children by bolstering families and communities. At the heart of child abuse prevention lies the mission to dismantle barriers to healthy parenting. Individuals demonstrate a collective commitment to support and nurture every child's well-being by actively engaging with families in their communities. Throughout April, our partners at Prevent Child Abuse New York (PCANY) spearheads a crucial initiative: Family Strength and Support Month.
