TAVAN Institute provides effective, victim centered, multi-disciplinary training and expert consultation on domestic and family violence.   

The goals of TAVAN Institute are to:

•  Provide multi - disciplinary training on a range of topics with a specific emphasis on systemic reform.

• Assist with the development of coordinated, competent, and effective response to domestic and family violence which prioritizes the safety of victims and holds perpetrators of abuse systemically accountable for their behavior.

The work of TAVAN Institute is underpinned by the belief that violence against women and children is a Human Rights violation which impinges on the right of all individuals to live in safety and freedom of fear.Those who use violence and abuse must be held accountable for their behavior.

TAVAN Institute  is committed to ensuring victims of domestic violence receive system responses which prioritize  their  physical and emotional safety and hold perpetrators of abuse accountable.

Our Logo   In some cultures of the world  dragonflies are a symbol of renewal after a time of great hardship.. They signal a safe environment. Dragonflies are also symbols of courage, strength, and happiness. These are the virtues needed to resist violence, abuse, and neglect in our communities and they are the results of such resistance.
