Domestic violence threatens the everyday lives of individuals, children and families. It devastates individuals, destroys families and endangers communities. CONNECT is the only violence-prevention organization in New York City dedicated to eliminating violence through early-intervention programs aimed at transforming the beliefs and behaviors that lead to abuse.
CONNECT’s innovative approach features comprehensive educational and outreach programs for youth groups, community organizations and faith-based groups across the five boroughs. CONNECT is one of the few organizations to conduct classes specifically for abusive men. It provides support to survivors, offers legal advocacy to immigrant victims of abuse and raises awareness about the connection between domestic violence and animal abuse.
