Activities & Impact
Stopping Family Violence was established in 2016, with the mission that everyone deserves to live a life without the fear or threat of violence. We have had the opportunity to drive significant shifts in research, advocacy, policy, best practice, training and thinking over this decade, and we share with you some of our larger pieces of work below. Though our work and understanding continue to advance, we still need to scale the response and investment to meet the needs in our WA communities.
