ICADV offers a wide range of services that reach across Indiana. You can find resources on violence prevention, legal services, mobile advocacy and more! Projects, best practices and helpful resources.
At ICADV, we know that violence is preventable, and every day we are working towards our vision of a world where all intimate relationships are non-violent and respectful. To create relationships that are respectful and non-violent, we believe we must fundamentally change the ways that we use power in relationships. We work to move from a model that celebrates competition and supports the use of power over others to one that celebrates shared, collaborative, and collective power.
ICADV, in partnership with our members, advocates for changes in policies, institutions, and systems. Our policy work focuses on advocating for legislation in the Indiana State General Assembly, educating membership about the policy process, and helping our members communicate with their legislators.
ICADV seeks to support domestic violence programs and service providers throughout the state. Learn what types of technical assistance we offer here.
ICADV’s Satellite Attorney Program coordinates legal assistance for survivors of domestic violence throughout Indiana. For more resources for survivors, advocates and attorneys, visit the Legal Resource Page.
ICADV and our allies are committed to tracking and reducing domestic violence-related homicides in Indiana. The Lethality Assessment Protocol and Domestic Violence Fatality Review Initiative allowed us to work with other professionals in the state to create new systems and resources that aim to prevent further violence and reduce domestic violence fatalities.
Listening to survivors of domestic violence is one way that ICADV ensures the work that we do is impactful. We often gain new insights and can target areas where survivors need the most support. Recentering survivors and addressing survivor loneliness are two large aspects of our work in Indiana.
ICADV is constantly exploring new ways to better serve survivors, and the Mobile Advocacy project is a product of this process. The mobile advocacy approach reverses the traditional service model by meeting with survivors in the safe community locations of their choosing and building service plans around their priorities and needs. For Indiana DV programs, the exploration of mobile advocacy was driven both by issues of scarcity and by the desire to provide survivor-centered services.
ICADV is launching Survivors Supporting Survivors – a campaign led by survivors, for survivors. We graciously invite survivors from all walks of life who are in a place of stability, along with the broader community, to support others as they rebuild after experiencing abuse. Your donations will directly support our Economic Justice program, so we can keep helping survivors cover essential expenses like rent, utilities, groceries and more.
