Stay Informed

The UDVC offers a range of programs and services designed to strengthen Utah’s response to domestic violence. Our work supports survivors, advocates, service providers, and communities through direct assistance, training, technical support, and connections to resources. Each of our programs is committed to offering trauma-informed, inclusive, and collaborative approaches that promote safety, empowerment, and hope.

The UDVC’s Education & Training Program offers in-depth learning opportunities to equip service providers, advocates, and community members with the knowledge and skills to identify and respond effectively to domestic violence. The program emphasizes trauma-informed practices and promotes approaches that center safety, dignity, and empowerment for those impacted by violence.

We provide a variety of training options throughout the year, including:

40-hour Core Advocacy Training (CAT)
Advanced training on specialized topics
Annual conference and symposiums
Self-paced courses through our e-learning platform

The Technical Assistance (TA) Program offers specialized guidance to domestic violence programs statewide. From licensing and compliance to trauma-informed care, crisis management, and data collection, this program strengthens the effectiveness, sustainability, and accountability of our partner organizations. See our TA page.

Safe, stable housing and freedom from financial abuse are key steps for many survivors on their paths to safety and healing. The UDVC’s Housing & Economic Empowerment Program helps service providers support survivors — from finding emergency housing to rebuilding credit and preparing for permanent housing.

We offer training, technical assistance, and resources on housing and economic issues related to domestic violence. Our team:

Builds partnerships with housing and homeless organizations across Utah
Supports shelters with data collection and housing programs
Connects advocates with tools, best practices, and legal rights information
Works on policies to improve housing access for those impacted by violence

The UDVC’s LINKLine Program is a confidential, state-wide resource that provides essential, immediate support to anyone impacted by domestic violence. The LINKLine offers confidential crisis assistance, safety planning, information, emotional support, and direct connections to local domestic violence programs, shelters, and community resources. Call, chat, or text the LINKLine 24/7.

The Utah Intimate Partner Violence Lethality Assessment (UIPVLA) strengthens statewide efforts to identify and respond to high-risk domestic violence cases. The program fosters collaboration between law enforcement and local domestic violence service providers to assess danger levels and take appropriate, trauma-informed actions, especially when severe risk is identified. Since 2015, the UDVC has supported these efforts by offering ongoing training, technical assistance, and resources to agencies throughout Utah.

The Rural Outreach and Tribal Advocate Support Program delivers culturally sensitive training and support to rural communities. This program strives to address the unique challenges faced by geographically isolated and resource-limited communities. This program empowers advocates, service providers, and community members through training, technical assistance, and outreach initiatives tailored to the diverse needs of rural populations throughout Utah.
