Building lives free from violence

Our Mission

ADV’s mission is to improve the quality of life and create hope by ending the cycle of domestic violence through services and education for residents of Riverside County.


Goals and Objectives

  • Provide victims of domestic violence with alternate ways of dealing with physical and/or emotional abuse through education, counseling, shelter, non-judgmental emotional support, legal advocacy and housing assistance

  • Increase community awareness of the problem of domestic violence

  • Serve as an advocate for all victims of domestic violence

  • Find ways and means to decrease the frequency, magnitude and recurrence of domestic violence

  • Break the generational cycle of domestic violence and victimization


For the Future

ADV is working on programs and services that address the broader issues associated with family violence. We wish to foster awareness that domestic violence is not solely an issue for women, but one that permeates the fabric of our society.
