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.
Stylists Wanted
TO HELP FIGHT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
The member programs of the Coalition are participating in the Cut it Out program.

There are several free educational seminars taking place across the state. To sign up or learn more information contact Maureen McDonald at 603-224-8893 extension 311 or email maureen@nhcadsv.org

Help support the Coalition by buying our beautiful note cards
Every Mother's Day the Coalition produces beautiful Mother's Day Cards featuring the work of local artists. In addition we also have note cards that make great gifts all year long.
For our most recent card the Coalition partnered with Seacoast artist Richard Haynes. His work entitled “Love” embodies what this holiday is all about.
The suggested donation is $10 per Mother’s Day card, and $20 for 10 blank note cards. Any donations you can make above that amount will be greatly appreciated and help the Coalition continue its public policy and outreach work on behalf of survivors of interpersonal violence.
