Welcome to the Web site of the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. Founded in 1977, the Coalition is an umbrella organization for a statewide network of 14 independent member programs committed to ending domestic and sexual violence. To that end we seek to:
- ensure that quality services are provided to victims/survivors of domestic and sexual abuse;
- prevent future violence by educating the public;
- encourage accountability and the provision of services for perpetrators
The Coalition supports its network by providing community education, coordination, training, resource sharing, and advocacy for public policy changes that affect victims of domestic and sexual violence.
You can learn more about domestic and sexual violence on this site, and the services available to victims through our member programs. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call 1-866-644-3574 for information and support. For sexual violence, call 1-800-277-5570. You don't have to be in a crisis to call. Trained advocates are there to talk with you anytime, day or night. If you are in immediate danger call 911.
