National Link Coalition

National Link Coalition We are the Global Resource Center on The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence. https://NationalLinkCoalition.org

We are raising public awareness, training professionals, and working to reduce ALL forms of family and community violence. The National Link Coalition is a nonprofit 501c3 multidisciplinary collaborative network of individuals and organizations in human services and animal welfare who address the intersections between animal abuse, domestic violence, child maltreatment, and elder abuse through res

earch, public policy, programming and community awareness. We believe that human and animal well-being are inextricably intertwined and that the prevention of family and community violence can best be achieved through partnerships representing multi-species perspectives. The National Link Coalition believes that through the recognition and integration of this understanding into policies and practices, humans and animals will be measurably safer.
