A Message from the Chief Executive Officer
As we launch into a new fiscal year and a new strategic plan, I would first like to pause and remember the ordeal we have all been through due to COVID-19. We remember the more than 600,000 people who died from the virus in the United States; we remember the families who were not able to be with their loved ones during their last hours; we remember all the businesses that have closed forever; the number of workers who found themselves without a paycheck; and we know firsthand how that affected survivors of domestic violence and their families.
With vaccination rates slowly ticking up we are hopeful that there is still a light at the end of the tunnel – even with the Delta variant. Our work at the Center continues as we serve those who are not safe at home or with their partner and we are available in-person by appointment and virtually for those who need us.
The mission of the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center is to empower individuals and engage communities to end domestic violence. Your support helped us continue our services—with no interruption—during this most challenging year:
- We pivoted quickly to provide virtual advocacy and counseling by adapting and implementing new technology without any lapse in services.
- Our devoted volunteers stayed connected with us, dedicating time as hotline calls increased and by offering remote tutoring for children in the families we serve.
- We reached our Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area girls at home through Zoom, and then later in-person with careful safety measures, at a time when isolation and remote schooling left young people needing connection more than ever.
- We continued to provide our Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program virtually and found new and innovative ways to deliver a court-ordered program that helps keep survivors safe.
As we enter our 40th year we are proud of what was accomplished this year and very excited to launch our five-year strategic plan in the next few weeks. Our FY22-FY26 Strategic Plan will focus our efforts on centering racial and social justice in every aspect of our work.
Thank you for placing your trust, confidence, and commitment in us as we work together to create safer homes and stronger communities!
On behalf of all of us at the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center,
Suzanne C. Dubus
Chief Executive Officer
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Belonging and Inclusion
The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center is committed to social and racial justice and to creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable society.

Amazing Things
YOU Made Possible
1. Support During the Pandemic
967 adult and child survivors of domestic violence received life changing/saving services at Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center last year. The pandemic brought on more complicated needs; while the number of survivors served decreased by 13%, the number of services provided increased by 16%. Your support allowed us to meet the demand, providing a total of 16,678 services and pivoting to a change in needs.
2. Access to Technology
A generous donation of 60 Chromebooks provided critical access to technology for the families we serve, connecting those in need to virtual services and therapy, as well as remote schooling.
3. Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area
Across the U.S. during the pandemic, more than 25% of high school students reported worsened emotional and cognitive health; and more than 20% of parents with children ages 5-12 reported their children experienced worsened mental or emotional health (National Survey on Children’s Health). Support from our communities allowed Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area programming to continue virtually and in-person, serving 129 girls who participated in the research-based curriculum and found a place for connection, friendships, and self-care.
4. Increase in Legal Services
This spring, we saw an unprecedented demand for legal services – a 24% increase since March 2020. Survivors who needed support in the courts and with restraining orders, divorce, custody, visitation, child support, housing and immigration received a total of 3,758 legal services over the last year, both virtually and in-person.
5. Financial Assistance
Last year during stay-at-home orders, needs for financial assistance became more urgent, and in the case of those experiencing domestic violence, financial stability is a critical part of safety planning. You helped provide over $62,000 in financial assistance to 111 survivors in the form of rental support, utility payments, car repairs and gift cards for basic needs.
6. Holiday Spirit
Holiday spirit was abundant in 2020; our community collectively raised over $11,000 in funds to go directly to the survivors we serve to provide their families with joy during the holiday season. A generous donor contributed another $5,000 to help meet the urgent needs of survivors all year long.
7. Virtual Trainings
57 participants joined two 35-hour virtual Domestic Violence Advocacy Trainings, and 38 people attended a 24-hour virtual Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program (IPAEP) Certification Training, with attendees logging on throughout Massachusetts and beyond.
8. Children’s Safety Program
Through our Children’s Safety Program, we offer safe, supportive interventions for children who have experienced domestic violence. While connecting virtually with young children can prove challenging, our clinicians found new ways to offer support during a time when stability and predictability was critical. Within individual and family sessions, as well as supportive groups, there were 104 participants last year, totaling 1,009 therapy sessions.
9. Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program
As part of our mission to end domestic violence, we provide a court-ordered Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program (IPAEP) for people who use violence. Our goal is to improve the safety of survivors while holding abusive partners accountable, and to promote positive change through educational groups. 424 participants were enrolled in the program last year, which meets virtually during the pandemic.
10. Strong Fathers
The Strong Fathers program is a weekly group rooted in a belief that all men want to be good fathers and that their motivation should be recognized, rewarded, and reinforced without minimizing the effects of their violence or excusing their actions. A total of 39 participants joined the groups, held virtually last year.
Stay-at-home orders, intended to protect the public and prevent widespread infection, left many victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) trapped with their abusers. Domestic violence hotlines prepared for an increase in demand for services as states enforced these mandates, but many organizations experienced the opposite. In some regions, the number of calls dropped by more than 50%. Experts in the field knew that rates of IPV had not decreased, but rather that victims were unable to safely connect with services.
Programs and Services
We provide comprehensive services to meet the complex needs of adult and child survivors of domestic violence. Our proven evidence-based approach supports survivors healing from the trauma of domestic abuse through advocacy, counseling and legal services. We have a multi-disciplinary team of advocates, mental health counselors, and lawyers that provide an integrated web of support as the needs of survivors shift from crisis intervention to long-term healing and independence.
Advocacy and Support
Client-centered interventions help survivors better understand what they have experienced and provide them with the tools to move forward
Counseling
Legal Services
Our on-staff attorney and volunteer advocates provide support in the courts and assist in a wide variety of legal matters such as divorce, custody, visitation, child support, housing and immigration.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDE PREVENTION – Research has shown that intimate partner homicides are often predictable; and if they’re predictable, they’re preventable. The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center is a nationally recognized leader in the fight to end domestic violence homicides.
Domestic Violence High Risk Team
In 2005, we launched the country’s first Domestic Violence High Risk Team (DVHRT) in our hometown of Newburyport, MA. Since then, our research-based model has been implemented throughout Massachusetts and in over 200 jurisdictions across the United States and recognized by the Department of Justice as a promising practice to reduce the threat of harm to intended victims, family members and first responders.
Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention
Our skilled staff provides training and technical assistance for communities across the country interested in preventing domestic violence homicide.
Youth Empowerment Services (YES) – We know that patterns of abuse start early; we also know that early intervention and prevention can change the culture of violence. Our Youth Empowerment Services use research-based and nationally recognized approaches to educate girls, boys and students who are gender non-conforming. YES prevention programs teach elementary, middle and high school students how to lead conversations about healthy relationships, recognize signs of an abusive relationship, and become empowered to make positive and healthy decisions.
Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area
Serving girls ages 6 – 18, Girls Inc. programs inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, and provide girls with life-changing experiences and solutions to the unique challenges that girls face.
Bystander Education
This two-part peer leadership training program demonstrates to students how standing up to peers engaging in abusive behaviors can impact social change.
Healthy Relationships and Gender-Based Violence Prevention
These workshops teach young people how to identify abuse in a current or past relationship, and how to avoid entering abusive relationships with potential dating partners.
ABUSE EDUCATION – The Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program is a court-ordered, 40-week program for those who use violence in an intimate relationship. Offenders in this program are required to attend or are at risk of violating their probation. The program’s goal is to improve survivor safety while holding abusive partners accountable, and to promote positive change by providing educational groups.
STRONG FATHERS – We also offer a Strong Fathers program that engages participants to enhance skills and increase knowledge about issues unique to fathers. The groups help raise public awareness of the important role that fathers play in the well-being of their families.
Thank you for giving me courage and assistance to move out of this toxic relationship. I am almost 65 years old and was too scared and shameful to divorce especially with no family and relatives here - this thought has haunted me day and night and I have to move out now.
