Elder abuse is a form of domestic violence, and older survivors deserve the same access to safety, dignity, and support as anyone else.

At Center for Domestic Peace, we believe that age should never be a barrier to getting help. Our services are available to survivors of all ages, and we are committed to making sure older adults in Marin County know that support is here.

If you or someone you love is looking for support, our 24/7 line is available at 415-924-6616.

๐ŸŒฟ Honoring Faye Dโ€™Opal

Today we honor the remarkable legacy of former Board President Faye Dโ€™Opal, whose life was defined by service, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

Faye embodied a lifelong commitment to social justice, peace, and community. Deeply compassionate, steadfast, and action oriented, Faye brought together her legal expertise and her extensive community experience in the United States and Central and South America in service of survivors of violence and impoverished and marginalized communities.

In the early 1990s, when the organization was known as Marin Abused Womenโ€™s Services, Faye joined the board of what is now Center for Domestic Peace (C4DP). She served two terms as board chair, helping to guide the organization through a critical period of growth and institutional strengthening. During her tenure, she played a key role in developing a comprehensive governance charterโ€”one that remains in use today and has served as a model for other nonprofit organizations.

One of Fayeโ€™s most enduring contributions was her leadership in helping secure a new site for the C4DPโ€™s emergency, confidential shelter for survivors of domestic violence in 1990. C4DP had long outgrown its shelter facility which lacked adequate beds and play space for the children. It was C4DPโ€™s vision to re-locate to a peaceful, secluded, and enclosed space with a large area for children to play-at-large.

We remember her with deep gratitude and extend our heartfelt condolences to those who knew and loved her.

Domestic violence affects people of all genders and orientations. In LGBTQIA+ relationships, emotional abuse can be harder to recognize due to stigma, myths, and the very real need for connection within marginalized communities.

People who use harmful behaviorsโ€”like isolationโ€”may believe their actions are justified. Still, no circumstance makes intimate partner abuse acceptable.

Survivors deserve support, safety, and the space to navigate trauma, mental health, substance use, and anger without harmโ€”and no one has to face these challenges alone. If youโ€™re feeling trapped by the person you love, call 415-924-6616 to speak with a compassionate advocate.

Three fathers killed their families this week as domestic violence deaths remain high 06/08/2026

This is a hard truth to sit with: While homicide rates are going down, people are still being killed by those who claim to love them.

Domestic violence doesnโ€™t just โ€œhappen.โ€ It buildsโ€”through patterns of control, fear, and isolation. And too often, it ends in tragedy that could have been prevented.

Behind every headline is a life lost, a family shattered, a community asking what could have been done differently.
At Center for Domestic Peace, we believe these deaths are not inevitable. When we listen, intervene, and support survivors early, we can change the outcome.

Ageism is the devaluing and dismissing of people because of their age and it creates conditions where older adults' experiences of abuse are more likely to be minimized, overlooked, or go unsupported. Elder abuse can take many forms, and older survivors may face additional barriers to finding care that truly sees and believes them.

Older survivors deserve the same access to safety, support, and dignity as anyone else. C4DP serves survivors of all ages- we are here for you when you are ready. ๐Ÿ“ž 24/7 Hotline: 415-924-6616

The intersection of domestic violence and gun violence is a critical public safety issue. When an abusive partner has access to a firearm, the risk of homicide increases dramatically, making it one of the most dangerous situations survivors can face.

At Center for Domestic Peace, we know that safety means more than escaping abuseโ€”it means creating pathways to lasting security, healing, and hope. This month, we honor the lives impacted by gun violence and reaffirm our commitment to supporting survivors, raising awareness, and building safer communities for all.
