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.

Happy #Pride! Today, we celebrate the #GenerationsofResistance and decades of activism LGBTQ folks, led by unapologetic women of color, have fostered to demand a world free of violence. Our work to support survivors 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is intrinsically tied to the liberation of the LGBTQ community -- which is why, when we say we're working to #EndDV, we're also talking about ending community violence against LGBTQ folks and making space for individuals who are impacted by abuse of all kinds to heal, thrive, and lead us to a safer future. La Casa stands with LGBTQ survivors, today & everyday ❤️
