What We Do

CADA is a nonprofit organization serving victims and survivors of relationship abuse and sexual violence throughout south-central Minnesota. We are based in Mankato and provide services in Blue Earth, Brown, Faribault, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Sibley, Waseca, and Watonwan Counties.

Our mission is to provide safety and support to victims of domestic and sexual violence through education, advocacy, and shelter.

CADA offers free, confidential, and non-judgmental services to victims and survivors. CADA operates three main programs: emergency safety shelter for women and children, community advocacy throughout the region, and supervised parenting time and exchanges. Additionally, as a cornerstone of our mission, we offer community education about topics and issues related to domestic and sexual violence. Each year, CADA serves between 2,000 and 3,000 individuals.

Testimonials

I was supported and felt safe, and that is very much what I needed. Advocates helped me understand that I was being mistreated and they allowed all the space that was needed for me to process this. I felt very supported the entire time.
