Phumulani (Individual counseling for African Victims/Survivors)
Phumulani is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing domestic violence and sexual abuse in communities of color throughout Minnesota and the nation.

Southern Valley Alliance
At Southern Valley Alliance, we help all those impacted by domestic violence in Carver and Scott counties, including victims, families, organizations and communities.

At SVA, we understand the importance of addressing these influences and work with survivors to provide culturally competent services and resources.

We continue to ground our work in community strengths and wisdom, as we serve Latin@s locally and nationwide.
Violence Free Minnesota
Founded in 1978, Violence Free Minnesota is a statewide coalition of over 90 member programs working to end relationship abuse.

The hub provides information about the warning signs and forms of relationship abuse, how it impacts health, how to work with patients experiencing abuse, how to assess for relationship abuse, and how to respond if a patient discloses abuse.
