Scope of Service Since our founding in 1974, RESPOND has expanded its partnerships and internal resources to address emerging community needs. Through new outreach, training and hotline initiatives, RESPOND has reached across city and state boundaries to develop a national and statewide presence among domestic violence service providers. RESPOND continues to broaden the scope of initiatives against violence to included undeserved populations such as immigrants, persons with disabilities, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people. All services are available in Spanish, English, French and Haitian Creole.
