The mission of Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania is to increase awareness of domestic violence and its effect on the community, to empower those victimized by providing advocacy and safe and effective services, and to work for social change designed to eliminate domestic violence. 

Nancy* had experienced domestic violence for many years. The last incident was very violent, and she feared for her life. Family and friends were begging Nancy to call the domestic violence hotline. She found the courage to call and has been attending group and individual counseling. Nancy now says that calling DVSSP was the best decision she has ever made. She is working on getting housing and says she has never felt so in charge of her own life.
