The Center for Prevention of Abuse, headquartered in Peoria, Illinois, operates within the individual and family services sector. It provides free, confidential support to women, men, and children affected by domestic violence, sexual assault/abuse, human trafficking, or elder abuse, and also delivers Adult Protective Services for disabled adults aged 18-59 who have suffered abuse. In Illinois, it is the sole agency offering a combined, comprehensive set of such services, and it administers prevention education to about 36,000 students annually, focusing on body safety, anti-bullying, conflict resolution, and healthy relationships. CFPA runs two domestic violence shelters in Peoria and Pekin and maintains courthouse offices in Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties to assist with Orders of Protection, with abuser re-education classes conducted in a separate Peoria location, and medical advocates available 24/7 in EDs. Annually, the center serves more than 5,000 individuals seeking peace, and recent news reports indicate expansion in Pekin, Illinois, including construction of a new emergency domestic violence shelter.
