Welcome to Sunrise of Pasco County, Inc.
Pasco County's Resource for Victims of Domestic Violence

Sunrise of Pasco County, Inc. (Sunrise) is a full-service domestic violence and sexual
assault center providing a safe place for victims to heal and to plan their future.
Established in 1982, our private, non-profit organization provides a wide range of
services to help victims and their children survive the aftermath of abuse and to move
towards safe and enriching lives.

We are fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Child and Family Agencies.

Sunrise of Pasco County, Inc. is 100% in compliance with contractual obligations,
including the attainment of all minimum program, fiscal and administrative standards
as reported by Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Florida Coalition
Against Sexual Violence.  The Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and CEO are
commended for the excellent manner of providing services to victims of domestic
violence and sexual assault in their area.
  • Domestic Violence is a crime. Florida law gives legal protection to battered
    victims.
  • Battering is the single major cause of injury to women-more frequent than auto
    accidents, muggings and rape combined.
  • Children coping with family violence frequently act out through violence at school
    and on the streets. They escape through truancy, teen pregnancy, sexual
    promiscuity, drug and alcohol abuse or running away.
  • Children growing up in violent homes often grow up to be violent with their adult
    partners or become victims themselves.
  • Battering a pregnant woman is a felony.
