We are committed to one shared purpose – reducing family violence in Billings and the surrounding communities.

Who We Serve

The Billings Area Family Violence Task Force is unwavering in its dedication to serving those in need. Our reach extends to any individual who has resided in or formerly resided in a home where family violence has left its mark.

Our commitment knows no bounds, encompassing people of all ages, from infants to the elderly.

Our Purpose

As a dynamic force within the community, the Billings Area Family Violence Task Force serves as a catalyst for change. Our purpose is twofold: to educate and to coordinate.
