Strengthening Communities, One Survivor at a Time.
Welcome to VEST, your dedicated Victims Empowerment Support Team in Solano and Sonoma Counties. Contact us today to get immediate support.
Our Mission
At VEST, our mission is to minimize violence against all victims of domestic abuse and to improve their quality of life through education, support, advocacy, and empowerment.
Who We Serve
We serve the entire community of Solano and Sonoma Counties—including women, men, teens, and children. Violence and abuse know no boundaries and can affect anyone, regardless of race, age, gender, sexuality, religion, education, or economic status. We're here to support all survivors on their journey toward safety and recovery.
Recognizing Abuse
Domestic violence is a pervasive issue that often goes unnoticed—even by those experiencing it. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, an average of 24 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the U.S, and over 12 million people are victims of physical abuse annually. Abuse takes many forms, including:
Physical Abuse
Emotional and Psychological Abuse
Financial Abuse
Stalking and Threats
Understanding these patterns is the first step toward breaking free and seeking help.
