Our organizations, the sexual and domestic violence agencies and children’s advocacy center, collaborate to support Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. We know that sexual abuse, domestic violence, and sexual exploitation impacts people of all ages, genders, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomics.
We believe we can create communities where everyone lives free from abuse, has a voice that is heard, and can enjoy healthy, safe, and empowered lives.
If you are a victim of abuse and don’t know where to turn, there is community support available. You are not alone.
If you would like to learn more about free and confidential services available to our communities, or provide information to someone who may need support we are here to answer questions and offer help:
