Welcome To The Online Home Of Southern Valley Alliance For Battered Women!

We are a non-profit organization founded by community women and dedicated to providing the battered woman and other victims of family abuse with support, referrals, protection and advocacy. Our mission statement: “Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women (The Alliance) exists to end domestic violence and to assist abused women and their children”. We proudly serve Scott County, Minnesota and Carver County, Minnesota.

We are set up to assist the abused woman in exploring the medical, legal and social service options available to her. We listen to a woman’s needs and encourage her to make her own decisions. An advocate stands ready to help her in meeting those needs by accompanying her through the various medical, legal and social service alternatives she chooses.

We welcome women of any race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, affectionate preference, age, marital status, physical challenge or status with regard to public assistance.

Feel free to browse our web site and find out if our services can be of assistance to you or anyone you know, or contact us to find out even more about our organization.
