PADV's Annual Candlelight Vigil
Each October, PADV's Annual Candlelight Vigil brings our community together to honor the lives lost to domestic violence, stand with survivors, and renew our commitment to ending abuse. Through remembrance, reflection, and hope, we shine a light on those we have lost while inspiring action toward a future free from domestic violence.

PADV's Annual Candlelight Vigil
SAVE THE DATE: Women in Action: Together, We Protect will bring together community leaders, advocates, professionals, and changemakers for an important conversation about the evolving ways technology is being used to abuse, control, and target victims. From cyberstalking and online harassment to AI-generated content and other emerging threats, this year’s event will explore abuse in a digital world and what it will take for our communities to rise to meet the challenge. Together, we’ll increase awareness, strengthen our response, and empower individuals and organizations to take action in support of survivors.
Past Events
DV Clinical Experience
PADV’s DV Mental Health Clinical Experience: Rooted in Compassion brought together clinicians, counselors, social workers, and other helping professionals for a half-day of learning, connection, and professional development. Through expert-led sessions and practical insights, participants deepened their understanding of domestic violence, explored trauma-informed approaches, and gained valuable tools to better support survivors on their journey toward safety and healing. The experience strengthened our collective response to domestic violence and equipped those on the front lines with knowledge and resources to create lasting impact for individuals and families in our community.
