Domestic Violence Counts is a national census of domestic violence shelters and services. The Domestic Violence Counts census is an annual noninvasive, unduplicated count of adults and children who seek services from domestic violence shelter programs in the United States during a single 24-hour survey period.
Conducted annually by the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) since 2006, the Domestic Violence Counts census report takes into account the dangerous nature of domestic violence by using a survey designed to protect the confidentiality and safety of victims.
This webinar recording (password: census) explains details of the census survey, how to answer the questions, the electronic survey form, and highlight some frequently asked questions. You do NOT need to attend the webinar nor watch a recording of it to participate in the Census counts. It is an informational overview for those who are unfamiliar with the Census or who are looking for additional guidance.
The 2017 Census will be conducted on September 13. Please contact census@nnedv.org with any Census-related questions.
