We provide public awareness about sexual and domestic violence, education and training about sexual and domestic violence, expert consultation and support to advocates and programs, the Arizona Sexual and Domestic Violence Helpline and information for victims, family, and concerned individuals, and policy advocacy at the Capitol and to various committees, and more.
