Welcome to the website of the Harlan County Domestic Violence Council. Our Council was established in 2007 by a county-wide network of battered women's programs, criminal justice agencies, and other organizations and individuals who shared the common goal of ending violence against women and children in the City and County of Harlan.
The Council's stated purpose is to have a community of healthy, violence-free relationships and families in Harlan County by:
- Developing, promoting and enhancing creative prevention and effective intervention initiatives which will reduce the amount of violence in intimate relationships.
- Bringing people together - in coalitions and committees - to build healthy families in Harlan.
- Providing emergency financial assistance to victims as funds are available.
