Our Mission

The mission of MSCFV is to create healthy opportunities to break the cycle of domestic violence through intervention and prevention by providing shelter, counseling, services, and advocacy for victims and abusers, and by changing society’s attitudes and systems that permit and promote such violence against women, men, and families.

The Mid-Shore Council on Family Violence is the central point of access for domestic violence assistance in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

We developed the Chesapeake Crisis to Self-Sufficiency Model to assist domestic violence victims every step of the way as they work through the process of reclaiming empowerment and independence.

Our support staff and partners provide a wide array of services to ensure that all of our clients’ needs are met as they move from victim to survivor.

Every year, your support enables the MSCFV team to empower over 500 victims and their 700+ children as they move from crisis to self-sufficiency. Watch the video below for highlights from our 2024 fiscal year!
