Advocates to End Domestic Violence is a private, not-for-profit organization formed in 1979 by two formerly battered women who saw a need for a domestic violence program in Carson City. It has grown from a small two-bedroom apartment, to a full service program that operates a 51-bed shelter and provides a wide variety of services designed to protect and support battered women and their children in the community.
Its mission is to provide a safe, supportive environment where domestic violence victims can re-examine their view of themselves and work towards a violence free future. Advocates accepts women for who they are and encourage positive growth toward independence and self- sufficiency.
Advocates offers a 24-hour crisis hotline at 775.883.7654
