A Coordinated Community Response (CCR) is a partnership of agencies and professionals who work together to prevent and respond to domestic violence in a unified, organized way. Instead of working separately, law enforcement, advocates, courts, healthcare providers, social services, and community organizations collaborate to share information, align practices, and create safer, more consistent outcomes for survivors and their families.

The Palm Beach County Domestic Violence Coordinated Community Response (PBC DV CCR) is the leading voice to end domestic violence in Palm Beach County, representing over __ agencies that serve domestic violence victims across the county.

The PBC DV CCR empowers survivors and the programs that serve them, we provide education, resources, and advocate for survivor-centered policy and systemic change. Our strength is in numbers, as we collaborate throughout the county to stop domestic violence.

Which ones are healthy and which ones are not?

Non-fatal strangulation occurs when pressure is applied to a person’s neck or when their airway is blocked, restricting oxygen or blood flow to the brain without causing death. It is one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence and can result in serious internal injuries, brain damage, or delayed medical complications—even when no visible injuries are present. Because of its high risk for homicide, any incident of non-fatal strangulation requires immediate assessment, documentation, and appropriate medical and safety follow-up.

Coercive control  is a pattern of behaviors that someone uses to dominate and control another person, often without physical violence. These behaviors often happen gradually, making them harder to recognize and can include things like constant monitoring, isolation from friends and family, controlling money or daily activities, and making threats. The goal is to take away the victim’s independence, confidence, and freedom.
