                          MID-SHORE COUNCIL ON FAMILY VIOLENCE

In 1980, a small group of local social workers became concerned about the many battered women and children who were forced to leave their homes for safety having nowhere to go for help on the Eastern Shore. The Mid-Shore Council on Family Violence Inc. (MSCFV) was created to respond to this crisis.

As the central point of access for assistance on domestic violence within the counties of Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's, and Talbot on Maryland's Eastern Shore, the mission of Mid-Shore Council on Family Violence 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 which permit and promote such violence against women, men and, families.
