The Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence believes in listening to and learning from survivors and community members to create impactful projects, policies and best practices that establish safe, stable and nurturing environments for all.
ICADV envisions a world where all people engage in healthy relationships characterized by the mutual sharing of resources, responsibilities and affection; where youth are nurtured with those expectations; and where all people are supported within a society committed to safety and equality in relationships.
We believe in the wisdom of survivors and seek to center their perspectives in our work. We believe that every person has the right to safe, stable and nurturing relationships and environments.
We believe in data driven solutions to lead the implementation of promising practices informed by the voices of survivors, communities and research.
We believe that communities should hold people accountable for abusive behavior in ways that foster restoration for survivors and positive change for those who do harm.
We believe that because the risk and protective factors for intimate partner violence are shared among many public health issues, we will be most effective by taking a holistic approach to prevention that involves a variety of agencies and individuals.
We believe that everyone is affected by domestic violence and the solution involves everyone.
We are committed to the ideas and practices of a person-first, authentically mission-driven atmosphere within ICADV, which fosters respectful collaboration and innovation.
