For more than four decades, the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center (JGCC) has been a steadfast source of safety, advocacy, and healing for survivors of intimate partner and domestic violence across northeastern Massachusetts. Deeply rooted in its mission to empower individuals and engage communities to end domestic violence, the Center offers an integrated array of free services including crisis response, counseling, legal support, housing assistance, and therapeutic programming. This survivor-centered approach is strengthened by a philosophy that safety is a collective responsibility, one shared across neighborhoods, agencies, and systems.

Beyond direct service, JGCC has emerged as a national thought leader advancing prevention, early intervention, and systemic change. Its Youth Empowerment Services equip young people with tools to build healthy relationships, while the organization’s nationally recognized Domestic Violence High-Risk Team model has transformed how communities across the United States address and prevent domestic violence homicides. With the recent launch of the Geiger Institute, JGCC’s impact now reaches hundreds of communities nationwide through training, technical assistance, and strategic partnerships.
