Who We Are
The DGBVPI engages and mobilizes Cambridge’s communities, agencies, and City departments to change attitudes, behaviors, policies, and practices to prevent and bring attention to domestic and gender-based violence. Services include training, consultation, building collaborations across various sectors in Cambridge, and coordination of systems of change in order to ensure compassionate and supportive environments for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence across the city.
Understanding Public Accepted and Private Unaccepted Ways
Generally, streets that have been accepted by City Council are referred to as public streets or ways. All other streets are referred to as private/unaccepted.
For more information on acceptance and maintenance please refer to Massachusetts General Laws Chapters 82, 83, and 84.
Nurturing Fathers
The Nurturing Fathers Program is a free, 13-week series that creates a space for Cambridge fathers to discuss, reflect and gain tools to help with understanding how to be a nurturing and supportive father, while maintaining their authority and providing consistent guidance and structure.
