Lighting The Way To Safe Futures
At the Domestic Abuse Council of Volusia County, our purpose is to provide life-saving support and services to individuals and families escaping domestic violence. We offer:
Emergency shelter in a secured, undisclosed location
24-hour crisis hotline for immediate support
Advocacy and case management to help survivors navigate their next steps
Support groups and safety planning tailored to each survivor’s needs
Court accompaniment and assistance with Injunctions for Protection
Free legal representation in child welfare and protection cases
Education and prevention programs for children and youth
Our “Hugs & Love” program supports every child who enters our shelter with advocacy, case management, and safety assessments—helping them feel safe, heard, and supported during a critical time.
All services provided by the Domestic Abuse Council are free of charge and completely confidential.
We empower survivors of domestic violence through compassionate, trauma-informed care. In partnership with our community, we work to ensure every survivor and their children find safety, justice, and the support they need to rebuild their lives.
A community where every family—of every shape and story—can live free from fear, free from violence, and full of hope.
