About SDDVC
Established in 1989, the San Diego Domestic Violence Council (SDDVC) is a network of public, non-profit and private agencies working together to develop an enhanced system-wide structure and response to domestic violence; serving as the “hub” for creative development and planning to address this critical issue in San Diego County.
