Our Mission

Center for Advancing Domestic Peace, Inc (CADP) is a 501(c)(3) corporation continuing the work begun in 1996 by the West Side Domestic Abuse Project to provide partner abuse intervention services within the City of Chicago. Under the leadership of its co-founders, Dr. Christine Call and Dr. Charlie Stoops, the Project incorporated in 2003 with the mission to end domestic abuse through comprehensive, culturally responsive direct service, community education and outreach, and research.

Who We Are

CADP seeks to provide effective interventions that promote changes in beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors and teach healthy relationship skills that can help program participants end their violence and foster safety for women, children, and men in their homes and communities. CADP continues its work to develop strategies that encourage program participants who are nearing completion to initiate prevention activities in their communities. CADP understands that domestic violence and community violence economically depletes communities decreasing resources for life-enhancing activities. The Center's goal is to provide services and community outreach that support both individual and societal change.
