CVIC IS HERE TO HELP
With a bold mission to end interpersonal violence in two generations, CVIC delivers vital safety and healing services throughout greater Grand Forks to adults and children experiencing domestic or sexual violence. We educate youth and professionals about how to stop violence and teach our communities ways to develop healthy relationships.
SAFETY
When you experience interpersonal violence due to domestic or sexual violence, stalking or other interpersonal crime, finding a safe place to go and feeling safe again is a first step.
HEALING
We are learning more each day about the impact of trauma on human lives. And with the right approach, we can offer hope and healing for those harmed by violence.
PREVENTION & EDUCATION
We teach our communities, from youth to adults, skills needed to build relationships and become bystanders who promote a violence-free community and change norms.
Senator Hoeven Community Roundtable: Visit Highlights
Recently, Senator John Hoeven joined CVIC in Grand Forks to discuss the efforts being made to help move delayed federal grants forward.
CVIC shared what these federal funds mean for real people in our community and how we provide long-term, survivor-centered support through our Safer Tomorrows Road Map — a holistic strategy to end violence in our community.
Grand Forks Housing Authority also shared about Senator Hoeven’s efforts to restructure a loan for LaGrave Place, an affordable housing project in Grand Forks. By resolving the loan, Hoeven’s legislation will enable the housing authority to improve the building and enhance the quality of life for residents.
We’re so grateful to Sen. Hoeven and his team for helping ensure critical services can continue for individuals and families throughout our region.
Ending Interpersonal Violence in Two Generations
Designed to end interpersonal violence in two generations, the Safer Tomorrows Road Map aims to address domestic, dating and sexual violence, and bullying by simultaneously advancing cultural change through education, promoting safety and healthy relationships and overcoming trauma and its impact on future generations. This innovation equips community members with skills to develop positive relationships and prevent the use of violence at every stage of life. The video at left shares insights into how this vision is coming to life for area youth who experience its education and healing benefits.
