Advocates to End Domestic Violence is a private, not-for-profit organization, formed in 1979 by two formerly battered women who saw a need for a domestic violence program in Carson City, Nevada. The agency has grown from a small two-bedroom apartment, to a full service program that operates a 51-bed shelter and provides a wide variety of services designed to protect and support battered women and their children in the community. We are an organization for families.
Advocates believes that individuals and families are entitled to lives free of violence. To this end, we provide services that enable survivors to take the responsibility to effect change in their lives and that of their children.
