PCADV is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic closely and is providing daily guidance to its network of local domestic violence programs across the Commonwealth. Our programs will continue providing direct services, and we are collectively making every effort possible to ensure minimal disruption in services.
We have gathered information and resources for victims, survivors, advocates, domestic violence programs, and the general public and will continue to update that information as the situation develops.

Survivor Story “I was finally in control of my destiny.”
“… When the Judge granted the Protection From Abuse Order (PFA) I wanted to shout out loud. Instead, I thanked her, I smiled, I turned and walked out of the courtroom to the rest of my life. I was finally in control of my destiny.” -Survivor
