We provide support to survivors of domestic violence.

La Casa de las Madres acts boldly to create a community where violence against women and children is not tolerated. We envision a society in which all individuals and families have equal access to basic resources and asset-building opportunities.  We envision a future where safety and respect in intimate relationships are the norm .

To achieve this future, La Casa offers a continuum of comprehensive and empowering services to women, teens, and children exposed to and at risk of abuse.  We provide access, tools and support—clinical and peer-based—that strengthen their ability to affect change and break the cycle of violence.

Mental Health Awareness: The Half Life of IPV

The link between mental illness and domestic violence does not break when an abusive relationship ends; rather, it poses a whole new set of challenges for survivors to combat in their journey to heal.

On Sexual Assault Awareness Month, & Why We Ask

“I Ask,” the theme for this year’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month, seeks to normalize everyday conversations about consent and boundary-setting -- conversations that are essential to creating a culture where sexual violence and abuse of power in every form is not tolerated. To us, “I Ask” also has a second meaning.

"My mom can be called many things, but no label fits her better than 'giver.' As an employee of the city of San Francisco, my mom advocated for marginalized communities, marched for immigrant and women’s rights, and was part of the founding team that put together Project Homeless Connect. At home, she instilled the idea of higher education in her daughters, was at every single school pageant or volleyball game, and was my dad's best friend until the end. In 2017, I lost my mother to advance stage brain cancer. I can proudly say my mother was the true definition of a warrior and never gave up hope throughout her journey. She went through chemo and radiation at the same time, and always had a smile on her face. Her grace, charisma, and light are things I will always look up to and strive to embody. She gives me strength on hard days and is my biggest motivator; she's left her magic for me to find from time to time. As I prepare to receive my Masters in Public Administration, I know she's cheering me on from the sidelines. She is my strength, my rock, and above all my light. I love you, Mom." - Alex, Case Manager #WhosYourShero

"This is a photo of my mom and I taken a couple years ago. After marrying my dad in the early 80's, my mom worked tirelessly to support him while he finished school and simultaneously took care of my two older siblings and me. Even though we didn't have much, my mom always made sure we had food in our bellies and a safe home to come home to every night. My mom supported us in finding out passions and encouraged us to go on to higher education. If it weren't for my mom, I would never be where I am today. I love her so much!" - Jordan, Case Manager #WhosYourShero? Email comed@lacasa.org a picture and tell us about the person who inspires you for a chance to be featured on our social media!
"This is my mom and me in 1998. This picture was taken in the first year that my family came to the United States. My mom, since the age of 17, has been working nonstop. She works hard everyday and continues to take on challenges, like going back to school to improve her English. She came to this country and started off as a dishwasher and has moved up into a management position all on her own. Since I can remember, I know it has been my mom and me against the world. Apart from work, she has raised three children who look up to her for being a determined, motivated, and independent woman who has strength to handle the world. For all that she left behind to provide her children with a better future, all that she has become in her two decades in this country and all that she will continue to accomplish in her life, she is not just my mom, she is my best friend, my soulmate, and most importantly my shero." - Jessica, Family Advocate "This is my mom and me in 1998.
