Our temporary shelter offers immediate safety and comfortable housing for anyone experiencing violence in their home. We provide a compassionate environment with meals and basic needs, as well as assistance to help victims and survivors recover from trauma and regain self-sufficiency.
Crisis Intervention
Through our 24-hour crisis hotline, we provide a judgment-free space to assess and assist in emergency situations. Our crisis intervention team understands that each person’s immediate needs are different and makes every attempt to meet those individual needs in a timely and supportive manner.
Our Crisis Intervention team responds upon request, alongside our local law enforcement, at the scene of the assault. The victim will receive immediate intervention and options for the next steps to move forward.

Community Awareness
Did you know that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner, according to the National Coalition of Domestic Violence? Part of our mission at Bridges Domestic Violence Center is to raise awareness for domestic abuse in our community. Through strategic efforts, we strive to inform and educate our neighbors on the ways they can help support victims and survivors, as well as receive support if they are experiencing violence.
