Mission:
Our mission is to create a community-wide collaboration that will work toward eliminating domestic violence in Anoka County.

Core Values:

• Violence is never acceptable.
• Domestic assault is a crime.
• The perpetuation of domestic violence is a choice.
• Abusers are responsible for their behavior.
• Victims/survivors are not to blame for the violence.
• The dignity and rights of victims/survivors must be publicly supported.
• Domestic violence is a community problem.
• All people are to be treated equally and with respect.
• Everyone has a right to be safe.
