The alliance to prevent Domestic Violence
Founded in 1976, The Coalition to End Family Violence has been committed to helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Ventura County by providing direct services to victims; educating the community regarding violence against women, children and men; and to end the cycle of violence.

Our goal in providing this website is to inform you of the many services The Coalition offers those who may be suffering themselves, or know someone who may be suffering in silence from domestic violence or sexual assault. We can significantly increase our impact with the continued support of the community making it possible to expand our existing programs and adding additional services.

Your assistance will enable a greater number of  victims to take back their lives, and help make our communities safer and more productive.
