Center for Domestic Peace

Center for Domestic Peace (C4DP) leads a comprehensive community effort to end the #1 violent crime in Marin County: domestic violence. They provide transformational services and programs that protect and enhance victim safety and ultimately engage the community in permanent change.

C4DP holds the vision of a world in which domestic violence, abuse, and intimidation is replaced with domestic peace. They believe that all women, youth, children, and men who are abused and at risk of abuse have a right to immediate and long-term safety. They strive to create greater safety, justice, and equality for all by building awareness and action toward changing the social norms that promote or enforce violence against women. They seek to make domestic violence a major community concern among all residents and social institutions (schools, hospitals, police departments, etc.). They believe that change results from the action-oriented participation of large numbers of people, organizations, and institutions, inclusive of survivors. They see intergenerational leadership as essential in the multigenerational task of ending domestic violence and violence against women and girls.

To that end, C4DP operates with three interlocking strategies:

Safety and Empowerment

Each year, C4DP’s core services promote the safety and empowerment of thousands of individuals impacted by domestic violence through: an emergency shelter, 24/7 hotlines, long-term transitional housing, support groups, legal advocacy and services, and a ManKind and WomanKind program for men and women who seek to end the violence in their relationships.

Coordinated Community Response

C4DP engages, trains, and coordinates professionals from various sectors to promote a coordinated community response to domestic violence within multiple systems – including legal services, law enforcement, criminal justice, health and mental health, and education.

Social Transformation

C4DP takes a leadership role in promoting social transformation through technical assistance, education, prevention (including teens and adults), and policy initiatives.

Since their founding in 1977, C4DP has responded to the needs of more than 210,000 individuals affected by domestic violence, as well as more than 30,000 men who have been violent.

The Center for Domestic Peace is committed to equal opportunity and equal consideration without regard to race, religion, ancestry, national origin, sexual orientation, color, creed, gender, age, sizes, disability or any other protected class.
