PVFF -- Violence Prevention Collaboration -- Moves to YWCA
www.pvff.org
The Partnership for Violence Free Families (PVFF) moved its offices from LACCA to the YWCA as of June 1, 2009. PVFF was established in 2001 by a grant from the Anthem Foundation and is a collaborative group of over 50 individuals representing 35 agencies working together towards its mission: "Through partnership, we will create a community that will not tolerate violence." Donna Dickman, Director of PVFF, said it addresses all forms of family violence including child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse through awareness campaigns and prevention training and programming. Donna served on the initial task force as representative of the Girl Scouts of Appleseed Ridge in 2001. As the project began the implementation stage in year three, Donna applied for the project director’s position and has since coordinated the efforts of the Partnership. She has obtained certification as an ACT Community Coordinator, an Olweus Bullying Prevention Trainer, a Safe Dates Facilitator, and a Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Facilitator. She looks forward to serving the community for years to come through these important prevention initiatives.
