Mission Statement
Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS) is a community-based feminist organization in Dane County committed to ending domestic abuse. The purpose of our work is twofold: to empower those who have been affected by violence, and to transform societal attitudes and institutional barriers that perpetuate violence and the abuse of power and control in our society.

Statement of Philosophy
DAIS recognizes that battering is a systematic form of gaining power and control that may employ economic, emotional, physical, psychological, and/or sexual abuse. We further recognize that despite popular misconceptions, no group of people is exempt from the threat of battering. No one is assumed to be safe from domestic abuse regardless of economic privilege, education, age, employment as a professional, sexual orientation, or being the partner of a trusted member of the community.

DAIS recognizes that all children and adolescents who witness and/or experience abuse within intimate or familial relationships are affected. They can be affected physically, emotionally, behaviorally, socially, and/or cognitively. Children from abusive homes may carry the effects of violence throughout their lives.
