Family Violence Task Force Tool Kit

This tool kit was developed by the Georgia Commission on Family Violence (GCFV) to provide resources and other practical information for Family Violence Task Forces (FVTFs). The manual is for community members, frontline practitioners, and members of systems across Georgia who lead and participate in FVTFs. Within this resource, you will find data, research, policies, and practices which guide the planning and work of FVTFs. The manual can be used as a blueprint for implementing a new FVTF, and as a resource for active FVTFs as they evaluate their purpose and goals.

This manual will be updated regularly by GCFV in an effort to provide relevant and current information based on the feedback and inquiries we receive from FVTF leaders and members.
