The Bellingham-Whatcom County Commission Against Domestic Violence was created by a Bellingham-Whatcom County joint resolution in 1998 to provide leadership in the communities efforts to reduce and prevent domestic violence. The Commission works with local agencies, institutions, and community members by providing resources, support, and technical assistance. To learn more about the Commission’s work and resources to assist those experiencing domestic violence, refer to the information tabs at the top of this page. Together, we will reduce and prevent domestic violence in Whatcom County. We envision a safe and non-violent community in which all people are free from physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Until that vision becomes a reality, we will assure the community makes the safety of domestic violence victims and their children a priority, while holding perpetrators of violence accountable and providing them with options and long-term support for change. We will promote understanding, sensitivity and respect within our diverse community to create non-violence through holistic, community-based solutions that empower the community to help and care for itself. |
