Academy on Violence and Abuse

AVA's mission is to increase the healthcare communityÕs capacity to address the damaging effects of violence or abuse on people's health.

Help reframe society's view of the damaging effects of violence and abuse on people's health...

By supporting AVA’s mission, you will be supporting a healthier, more productive community and workforce and you will be helping to stop the intergenerational cycle of violence.

Many of us have been touched by the effects of violence or abuse in our lives. Making a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one is a meaningful way to acknowledge them while helping AVA provide better training for the health care professionals who care for those who have been abused.
