Life Span Mission Statement

Life Span is an organization committed to the cessation of domestic violence and to the immediate relief of those who suffer from its consequences. 

Life Span Statement of Philosophy: 

Life Span has and will continue to provide comprehensive services for women and children enabling them to stay together without violence, and/or to help women eliminate the abuse from their lives, build upon their strengths, and become self-sufficient.

Life Span is committed to providing victims of abuse a range of non-residential options by defining domestic violence as a crime as well as a social problem.

Life Span is also committed to reducing community acceptance and tolerance of abuse and increasing community awareness of domestic violence.  Life Span attempts through the use of community education and technical assistance to ensure responsive and appropriate treatment and delivery of public services to victims of domestic violence.
