Mesa Family Advocacy Center

We Are Here to Help

The Mesa Family Advocacy Center Community Education and Training

The Mesa Family Advocacy Center understands that sexual and domestic violence has long-lasting effects for victims, survivors, children, families and community members. We understand that awareness and education are key components to ending violence in our community.

We are committed to raising awareness and providing community education and awareness services to prevent child sexual and physical abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault. These interpersonal violent crimes are vastly underreported in our communities. We believe that by increasing public awareness through prevention education, we can end the cycle of violence in our community. We have partnered with Darkness to Light to provide free self-paced training courses to teach you the facts about childhood abuse to empower you to recognize, react, and prevent child abuse.
