  About RAVEN
About RAVEN
Opening its doors in 1978, RAVEN is recognized nationally as a founding agency in the struggle to stop the continued cycle of violence in our communities. RAVEN is a not-for-profit organization. RAVEN recognizes that services for victims alone are not sufficient to reduce violence in our communities.  Prevention and intervention with those at risk to commit violence is the only long-term solution.

RAVEN seeks to create peaceful families and communities through three core programs:
Batterer Intervention, Community Education and Youth Violence Prevention.


Mission & Philosophy
To foster peaceful relationships, families, and communities by increasing self-awareness, challenging abuse and control, teaching alternative behaviors, and promoting personal responsibility.

RAVEN is guided by the following principles and philosophy:
  • Safety for women and children is our highest concern.
  • People who abuse are solely accountable and responsible for their actions.  In other words, violence is a choice.
  • Anger does not cause violence.
  • People abuse to control, not because of a loss of control.
  • A group environment is the preferred method for intervention and education.
