The Partnership for Domestic Abuse Services

The Partnership for Domestic Abuse Services (PDAS) is a strong collaboration of eighteen public and private agencies whose work focuses on or includes services to victims of domestic abuse.

PDAS acts as a vehicle for St. Paul and Ramsey County government and community-based organizations to join their unique skills and perspectives in creating a system- and community-wide response to ending domestic abuse. All PDAS activities and major decisions are made by the full PDAS collaborative.
