County of Kern
Domestic Violence Advisory Council (DVAC)
By gathering information and identifying domestic violence issues, the members of DVAC will inform and recommend to the community at large, as well as the policy makers, modifications which can positively effect the reduction of domestic violence in Kern County.
One of the myths of domestic violence is that it is a "Family Issue"...but recent events have broken that perception. It has spilled out into our workplace, our schools, and or neighborhoods. We can no longer leave the participants "to work it out alone" without intervention or consequences. Everyday we learn in the news of another relationship for which the violent consequences have spread to "uninvolved" community members.
If you would like to know how you can be more involved and positively effect changes to this destructive social problem, please join us. Call Nada Yorke at 549-0089 for more information or the DVAC extension at the Alliance Against Family Violence at 322-0931 #101.
In the next several weeks, we will be expanding this Web site to include the following information:
  • What is Domestic Violence?
  • Know Your Rights
  • Domestic Violence Facts
  • Where Can I Go For Help?
