Domestic Violence Action Committee (DVAC)

The Needham Domestic Violence Action Committee is a community-based interagency and interdisciplinary team formed to address issues of domestic violence and teen dating violence. We strive to provide assistance to the community and engage in community outreach for the prevention of domestic violence. By fundraising, we can provide emergent support to individuals affected in our community. If you need support, we provide local resources to ensure the safety of you and your family. Our mission is to ensure that every individual may feel safe within our community. 

The Needham Domestic Violence Action Committee was established in 1996 and meets on the 2nd Friday of every month.  

All community members are welcome! If you would like to join the meetings or If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to Hanna Burnett at hburnett@needhamma.gov . Follow us on Facebook for more updates about DVAC!
