C4DP mobilizes individuals & communities to transform our world so DV no longer exists.

Center for Domestic Peace was founded in 1977 by a group of visionary women operating under the name Marin Abused Womenโ€™s Services (MAWS). Since then, we have helped thousands of women, children, and men to end the violence and to achieve safe, productive lives. MAWS started as a volunteer effort with women being sent to private homes for safety. Over the years, we have grown to provide a wide arr

LGBTQIA+ survivors of domestic violence often face added barriers to being believed or accessing services. We are committed to providing inclusive, affirming support for survivors of all genders and sexual orientations.

Domestic violence doesnโ€™t end when a relationship ends. Its impact can linger - in the body, in sleep, in trust, and in how a person moves through the world. This is a mental health reality for survivors that too often goes unspoken, even during Mental Health Awareness Month.

At the Center for Domestic Peace, we offer therapy, support groups, and crisis support because we understand that surviving and healing are not the sameโ€”and both deserve care, time, and compassion.

Wherever you are in your journey, please know that support is here. 24/7 Hotline: 415-924-6616

Technology is part of our daily livesโ€”and for many survivors, staying connected online is essential for access to support, resources, and community. At the same time, technology can be misused by abusive partners to monitor, manipulate, or control.

We created this Digital Safety Guide to offer practical, accessible tools that help survivors stay safer while remaining connected. Everyone deserves to use technology in ways that support their safety, autonomy, and well-being.
