Inclusion and equality are among DVCC’s core values. We are committed to providing services that are welcoming and affirming to individuals of all races, colors, religions, gender identities, gender expressions, ages, national origins, ethnicities, abilities, socio-economic levels, cultures, languages, and sexual orientations.

DVCC strives to break down barriers associated with racial inequities and continues to work with survivors to understand and address how these factors may impact their healing process.
