As a tribal coalition, CSVANW does not provide emergency or direct services.  If you are in an unsafe situation or need immediate assistance please dial 911.

The approach CSVANW takes is informed by one fundamental value:

Work to engage tribal communities and community solutions organically through developing meaningful and authentic partnerships and relationships based on respect.

As part of its mission, CSVANW provides a multitude of training opportunities to its Members and those working within the domestic violence and sexual assault movement in tribal communities. Training workshops focus on building service-provider capacity and community response to violence in tribal communities. CSVANW offers travel scholarships and sponsorship opportunities to CSVANW Members.

Thank you and your organization for all the great work and education you provide to our communities. Your staff are amazing leaders, educators and advocates. This was so valuable and educational. Thank you.
- Housing our relatives for Trafficking Prevention & Aftercare 2023
I really enjoyed the information because for new advocates who are just starting out, the information presented helps understand how to be, what to say, and how to say things. It helps clarify the information that needed for documentation and also, how to document with purpose.
