The IDVAAC’s mission is to “provides an interdisciplinary vehicle and forum by which scholars, practitioners, and observers of family violence within the African American community will have the continual opportunity to articulate their perspectives on family violence through research findings, the examination of service delivery and intervention mechanisms, and the identification of appropriate and effective responses to prevent/reduce family violence in the African American community.” To this end, the IDVAAC facilitates focus groups, conducts research, performs policy analyses, produced publications and other forms of media, and works collaboratively with other organizations having similar objectives.
