In Loving Memory of Tina Croucher
It is the mission of Citizens Against Domestic Violence to promote awareness of domestic violence and teen dating violence and the damage it does to individuals, families, businesses, and the community. CADV seeks to educate the public through "Dating Violence :101" and "The Tina Project, and to implement services for those who desire freedom from violence and abuse. Click on the Founders Bio page for the compelling "Tina's Story."
Following the passage of the "Tina Croucher Act," The Tina Project was formed in Northeast Ohio. A collaboration of a dozen organizations which are working together to assist schools and communities as they respond to the requirements of HB 19.The organizations offer many terrific programs that address the range of potential violence among youth; from bullying awareness and education to building student run conflict resolution teams. The Tina Project is designed to not only bring schools in compliance with HB 19 and to complement any other anti-violence programs already in use by your school or community. CADV is working with leaders of the program to bring the Tina Project to other parts of the state.
