Partners
Today at Sarah’s Inn we could not answer the rising need in our communities without our service partners and the support of our volunteers and coalitions. Sarah’s Inn has always held the belief that domestic violence is a community issue. Our partnerships continue to prove we are so much stronger together than apart.
National Partners:
The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), a social change organization, is dedicated to creating a social, political and economic environment in which violence against women no longer exists. For a report of the 2009 Census click here.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) which has as its mission to organize for collective power by advancing transformative work, thinking and leadership of communities and individuals working to end the violence in our lives.
Illinois Partners:
The Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) whose mission is to: provide statewide leadership as the voice for survivors of domestic violence and the programs that serve them, change fundamental societal attitudes and institutions that promote/tolerate/condone domestic violence and ensure that women and children have knowledge of and access to all services and opportunities, endeavoring to provide these services locally.
The Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professionals, Inc. (ICDVP) was established to foster uniformity in domestic violence and partner abuse intervention services throughout the State of Illinois, and create recognized professions of Certified Domestic Violence Professionals (CDVP) and Certified Partner Abuse Intervention Professionals (CPAIP) by setting standards to certify domestic violence and partner abuse intervention professionals and regulating the process of certification.
