Technical Assistance

Lethality Assessment Program (LAP)
The MNADV provides technical assistance to coordinate, expand, and sustain the (LAP) implementation in Maryland and across the country.
Public Policy and Systems Advocacy
MNADV affects systemic change by monitoring state legislation through its Legislative Committee, by educating policymakers about the potential impact of proposed laws on survivors, through involvement in state and national legislative advocacy, and through its coordination of the Statewide Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team.
Collaboration
The MNADV collaborates with dozens of local, state, and national organizations on an ongoing basis and convened committees and task forces to improve the systems response and the coordinated community response to domestic violence in Maryland.
MNADV collaborations promote coordination and partnerships to improve services to domestic violence survivors, enhance resource sharing, and promote legislation and policies that increase victim safety and abuser accountability.
