Coalition for Family Harmony

Coalition for Family Harmony It is our mission to provide direct services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Since 1976, the Coalition has provided victims of family violence with the means to help them escape their life of abuse – and for over 30 years, we have operated a 24-hour bilingual crisis hotline to enable their first step toward a better life. As we assisted more and more victims, we realized that we needed to implement a variety of services – essentially, a continuum of care – to optimize thei

r best chance of a permanent, successful transition to an abuse-free existence. Thus, a primary Coalition focus is not only directly helping the victim but eliminating violence in the home, underscored by our development of a comprehensive range of shelter-based programs for adult victims, parents, and at-risk youth – all of which are available in Spanish and English. The Coalition offers a variety of services to assist survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse, as well as family and friends of those suffering from abuse.

This morning, the Coalition received a proclamation from the County Board of Supervisors acknowledging April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). It was wonderful to have our community and county leaders come together and build awareness around sexual violence and the services we offer. SART Coordinator, Melissa Ipatzi, gave a wonderful speech describing advocacy with survivors and the amazing ability of our team of advocates to build trust and rapport.
