Contact Us for More InfoNJCEDV is guided by our Social Change Plan, which identifies three pathways to prevention that will help us achieve our goal of ending intimate partner abuse.
Healing Practices
We recognize every individual has a right to healing and that healing may look different for one person than it does for another.
Social Justice
We work towards social justice by recognizing the impact that violence and abuse has had on marginalized communities, and the role that oppressive systems and policies have had on perpetuating harm and inequity throughout communities.
Connections
We also recognize that everyone is connected to domestic violence in some way, and that there is a role that every person, organization, and community can play in preventing domestic violence.
Violence prevention work goes beyond talking directly about violence – it is also about celebrating and nurturing strengths.
Anti-Racism is Our Movement
Housing and Economic Justice
99% of survivors of domestic violence experience financial abuse by an intimate partner, and domestic violence can have immediate and long-lasting impacts on a survivor’s economic safety and security.
How We Help
Financial Empowerment
NJCEDV has partnered with the Allstate Foundation, to incorporate the Allstate Moving Ahead financial empowerment project into the domestic violence services offered to survivors.
Policy Change
NJCEDV joins the AntiPoverty Network and the NJ Time to Care Coalition, to advocate for policies that help increase financial and economic security survivors, their families and communities.
