Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to crime victims in a variety of areas, including child abuse, elder abuse, sexual assault, and
stalking.
The project will be conducted by Contra Costa County Zero Tolerance for Domestic
Violence, a highly effective multidisciplinary partnership based in the County
Administrator’s Office. The project is a natural outgrowth of Zero Tolerance’s Safe &
Bright Futures Initiative, which works to diminish the damaging effects of domestic
violence on children.
The project will develop a highly cost-effective on-line platform coupled with technical
assistance and training designed to improve organizational practices for children exposed to
domestic violence including identification, assessment and prevention.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative supports three of Contra Costa’s
community outcomes (“Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive
Adulthood”, “Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing” and “Communities that are Safe
and provide a High Quality of Life”) through coordinated intervention services designed to
reduce domestic and family violence and elder abuse.
