Members play a crucial role in the work that we do. The more voices we have with us, the greater attention we can garner from legislators. Members also provide us with the essential knowledge of what is needed most in their communities so that we can cater our services to meet those demands.
TCFV has three main focuses: policy, support to service providers and prevention.
Our policy team works to change legislature to better serve Texas victims. Our support to service providers team collaborates with shelters, law enforcement and judicial servants to ensure that the needs of victims are met. Our prevention team focuses on awareness, education and changing the cultural mindset around issues like gender roles, media coverage of abuse and other topics that perpetuate domestic violence.
We provide trainings, webinars and signature events year round to make sure that Texas programs and advocates remain leaders in the domestic violence movement.

Many different kinds of professionals can help you change your behavior. It is important to find a professional that is trained to help you. In Texas, if a court has referred you for a family violence offense, the program must be “accredited.”
