Domestic Violence Service Providers

In Maryland, we have a statewide network of domestic violence programs that provide services to survivors of domestic violence. MNADV provides training, support, and assistance to domestic violence program staff who are working on the ground with survivors.

What do Domestic Violence Service Providers (DVSPs) Do?

DVSPs provide crisis response and comprehensive support services to survivors of domestic abuse to help them heal from trauma, rebuild their lives, and ultimately continue on a path toward a future free from violence. Services provided vary from county to county, but many include the following:

  • Crisis intervention: 24/7 crisis helplines
  • Crisis accompaniment, e.g. advocate with DV victim to law enforcement if requested
  • Shelter/Housing assistance: emergency shelter/housing, permanent housing
  • Culturally specific services and/or referrals to culturally specific programs
  • Transportation assistance: provide or facilitate public transport to shelter, jobs, court, school, appointments; arrange/fund car repairs
  • Safety planning (including children and pets)
  • Legal/court advocacy and accompaniment to court hearings, meetings with lawyers
  • Mental health services including counseling, support groups, referrals
  • Medical care referrals
  • Education and employment/job search assistance
  • Childcare assistance/referrals
  • Assistance enrolling or accessing mainstream resources and support services
  • Financial literacy education
  • Community Education including healthy relationships and prevention programs in schools, youth-based organizations and presentations to community groups
