The Task Force carries out its mission through three primary programs:
Asian Shelter and Advocacy Project (ASAP)
The Asian Shelter and Advocacy Project is the first program of its kind in Massachusetts and only one of a few across the United States. ASAP provides not only safety and advocacy but also an environment where Asian women and their children feel understood and supported as they begin the healing process.
Education and Outreach
Education and Outreach is the community organizing, educational and prevention component of ATASK. The goal of Education and Outreach is to bring attention to the realities of family violence and engage community participation in preventing further abuse. Together we can begin to take a united stand for the many who have endured abused in silence.
Lowell Asian Outreach and Advocacy Project
The Lowell Project is a satellite program of ATASK in Lowell, the home of the second largest Cambodian community in the U.S. Created in collaboration with the Southeast Asian Families Against Domestic Violence, a coalition of Lowell Asian leaders, community organizations, and concerned individuals, the Project is designed to serve and organize the Cambodian community around the issue of domestic violence. The project integrates direct services with prevention, outreach, community and mainstream education strategies.
