The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center is a nationally recognized leader in the effort to end domestic violence and provide care for victims. For over 35 years, we have been providing advocacy and support services to families and the communities within the Greater Newburyport area. Our mission is to empower individuals and engage communities to end domestic violence. We provide legal representation and referral for victims in contested restraining orders, divorce, child custody and child support matters. Our attorney provides free representation on contested hearings in the District, Probate, and Family courts, for those with serious safety concerns and financial hardship. The Centers volunteer court advocates are located at the Newburyport District Court, 5 days a week, to answer questions, explain the civil restraining order process, help file abuse prevention orders, and conduct safety planning.
