What does justice look like when a survivor’s experience of abuse is part of the story?

On October 5, CCADV member organization Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC) hosted a screening of Beyond Survival at The Westport Library, followed by a panel discussion featuring Judy Clark of New York’s Survivors Justice Project, Westport Police Captain Jillian Cabana, DVCC CEO Suzanne Adam, and CCADV CEO Meghan Scanlon.

The documentary tells the story of the campaign for New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act and the leadership of currently and formerly incarcerated survivors who helped make change possible.

The evening brought that conversation home to Connecticut, where CCADV continues to advocate for the Survivors Justice Act.

Thank you to DVCC, The Westport Library, our panelists, and everyone who joined this important conversation.

A safer Connecticut takes all of us—and it’s encouraging to see that commitment in action. 💜

On Wednesday, CCADV's own Meghan Scanlon joined Governor Lamont, Katherine Verano of Safe Futures in New London, and the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection in Hartford to highlight our shared commitment to domestic violence survivors and their families.

From conversations about reaching people before a crisis to an onsite visit with the heroic dispatchers at the CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP), the day brought together people with a common purpose: helping Connecticut residents connect with safety and support.

We’re so grateful to Office of Governor Ned Lamont, Commissioner Higgins at DESPP, and our partners at DESPP for engaging deeply in this work.

Safety is a community responsibility.” — Dr. Lucinda Canty

That message helped set the tone for CCADV’s September 29 maternal health summit, Strengthening the Maternal Health Village: From Vision to Impact.

Healthcare providers, domestic violence advocates, researchers, and community partners gathered in Cromwell to share lessons from five years of work connecting maternal health and intimate partner violence—and explore how to sustain that work.

The conversations returned to a shared goal: care that listens, treats people with respect, and connects families with support. As Dr. Yvette Martas reminded us, “The community wants to stop having to negotiate systems.”

Thank you to our speakers, partners, and everyone who brought their experience and ideas to the room. Together, we can strengthen the village that pregnant and postpartum people and their families deserve.
