The Coordinated Community Response Network (CCRN) is a network designed to supply local providers with the resources to recognize, respond, and refer individuals and families impacted by domestic violence to appropriate services in the community in a timely manner. As a collaborative effort, the CCRN brings together local agencies and organizations to develop a universal vision and action plan that provides a consistent and standardized response to domestic violence. CCRN members are also provided with key tools for victim safety and abuser accountability.
As a member of CCRN, your agency has established protocols and guidelines to assist you in responding to victims and/or perpetrators of domestic violence. A list of CCRN members is provided in an effort to aid you in making the appropriate referral for victims and/or perpetrators of domestic violence.
