About Us
Mission: 

ICADV builds networks of support for and with survivors, and advances statewide policies and practices that transform societal attitudes and institutions to eliminate and prevent domestic abuse.

Programs: 

Train those on the front lines. We coordinate and provide state-required training and continuing education for professional domestic violence advocates, as well as those working with survivors in the community, like law enforcement, social workers, mental health professionals, and more.

Advocate for safer policy: By educating lawmakers, other professionals, and the public on the myriad of challenges survivors face when seeking help, we can help ensure safer outcomes through thoughtful and strong policy.

Give technical assistance: We provide support and resources to our member organizations who are working with survivors every day. We assist in an array of ways, from securing grants to organizing and structuring a new program. Our goal is to help our members be successful as possible as they provide quality services to survivors and their children.

 

 

Why Work For Us?: 

ICADV is the statewide advocacy organization composed of over 50 member organizations throughout Illinois who serve victims of domestic violence and their children. Through training and technical assistance ICADV provides support to those agencies to provide the best service to families experiencing violence. Our advocacy, lobbying and public education to and on behalf of agencies throughout Illinois help inform policy development that builds the best safety nets possible for survivors and their children while holding those who cause harm accountable.

It is the responsibility and privilege of all ICADV employees to uphold the mission and vision of this agency. ICADV is a feminist organization and what that means to us is that we work to advance the principle that all people have the right to a life free of oppression and violence. We work to foster change in our economic, social, and political systems and bring leadership expertise and best practices to Illinois domestic violence victim service agencies and communities engaged in ending domestic violence.
