​​​​​​​​​Our Mission

​In 2013, the City of Phoenix created the​ "Roadmap to Excellence: making the City of Phoenix a National Leader in Preventing and Ending Domestic Violence" along with an awareness campaign called "Paint Phoenix Purple". In addition to activities that directly impact survivors, the​​ initiative also emphasizes having important conversations to prevent and end domestic violence.​​​​​ ​

If you are being abused, it is important to know that you've done nothing to d​eserve abuse. Leaving can be difficult but it is not impossible.  You can change your circumstance today! 

​The Strategic Initiatives team has several partnership opportunities for businesses, organizations, school districts, and the community.  Additional information is attached. 

• Community/School Awareness Presentations
  
• Staff Trainings and Train-the -Trainer
  
• Resource Fairs
  
• Youth Town Hall
  
• Awareness-themed Local Sporting Events
  
• Item Drives
  

Please contact the Strategic Initiatives team to learn how you can join us in combatting Domestic Violence in our community!
