The Domestic Violence Coalition of Greater Chattanooga, Inc.
Mission Statement:
The Domestic Violence Coalition of Greater Chattanooga, Incorporated seeks to reduce the incidence of domestic violence in our community.
Statement of Purpose:
The purpose of the Domestic Violence Coalition of Greater Chattanooga is to reduce the incidence of domestic violence by:
- promoting prevention, early intervention and treatment through education and advocacy.
- coordinating services among agencies, departments and the courts to improve responses to domestic violence incidents.
- advocating and informing elected officials about issues pertaining to domestic violence.
The Domestic Violence Coalition of Greater Chattanooga began in March, 1994 when a number of victims and service providers met together to begin searching for solutions to the problems of domestic violence occuring in our community. These volunteers are professionals from all segments of society: police officers, judges, educators, attorneys, psychologists, physicians, representatives from public and private agencies, as well as lay people who are concerned about the problem. The coalition works through various committees such as court monitoring, education, fund raising, legislation, and networking. Volunteers are always needed for these committees.
