In 2017, a year of transition for the Coalition, we welcomed new staff in key leadership positions. We also saw remarkable accomplishments at the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (LCADV). LCADV trained over 1,000 professionals in the fields of advocacy, law enforcement, prosecution, social work, and child welfare. Our legislative efforts led to the passage of landmark bills expanding domestic violence protections to dating partners and same sex couples. We enhanced the work of several coordinated community response teams across the state, providing targeted training and technical assistance to our member programs and their local partners.
