Since 1980, MCADSV has been working to ensure there is someone to talk with, someplace to go and someone to help women who have been battered and their children. In 2006, the Coalition expanded its mission to also address the needs of women victimized by sexual violence, dating violence and stalking. MCADSV is the state's oldest and sole grassroots organization of community-based programs working to end violence against women and their children.
