The Take A Stand Community Capacity Building Initiative educates and empowers community members to effectively support victims. The issue of domestic violence and abuse affects our entire community. We all have a role to play in helping identify it and end it. 

Learn how to identify domestic violence and abuse in all its forms, ways to respond compassionately and positively to victims, and how to connect victims to resources.

Interactive Toolkit

Take A Stand educates and empowers community members to effectively support victims of domestic violence and abuse. Originally taking form as group presentations and online webinars, we wanted the next step to be more accessible to anyone looking to support someone experiencing abuse.
