Committee Against Domestic Abuse
Julia Knutson's Company Details
CADA provides safety and support to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault through community engagement, advocacy, shelter, supervised parenting time services, and therapeutic support. CADA coordinates services across eight counties in south central Minnesota to address domestic abuse, sexual assault and human trafficking through education about the violence manifested in societal norms and behaviors like teen dating violence, battering, rape, child abuse, sexual assault, and the trafficking of women and children. For more information about CADA's services and mission, visit: www.cadaMN.org. All services may be accessed by calling the 24-hour Crisis Line at (507) 625-8688 or 1-800-477-0466.CADA began as a small grassroots group of women working out of their homes, raising funds and applying for grants that later led to opening our first shelter on Second Street in Mankato. The renovated shelter had its first occupant on August 3, 1981. This building served as the shelter until August 1, 1997, when CADA moved into its new facility on Stadium Court. The first CADA shelter served 1,751 battered women and 1,088 more battered women have stayed at the new shelter through September, 2006.
