OCADSV, Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence

Last updated Jun 2026

About

Founded in 1978, OCADSV is a statewide membership coalition that supports Oregon's local domestic- and sexual-violence programs through training, technical assistance, policy advocacy, and public education. It does not provide direct emergency services, but its website hosts a searchable map of free, confidential local programs across the state via the Find Help tool. Survivors needing immediate help should use the Find Help directory to reach a local program.
