About This Cause
The Center’s key areas of focus include: 1. Emergency Shelter & Support Services: Since 1975, CEE has saved lives and offered a safe and secure environment for adult and child victims of domestic and sexual violence. Individuals are served by our 20-bed shelter, Patricia House. 2. Counseling & Advocacy Services: We offer individual and support group counseling and advocacy services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and for those dealing with other major life transitions such as separation and divorce, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues. 3. Crisis Intervention: The Center provides two 24-hour hotlines for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and our trained advocates provide on-site emergency response at area hospitals, police departments and at court. Walk-ins are also served at the 2 West Street facility. 4. Community Education, Primary Prevention & Training: We firmly believe that the path toward ending the violence lies in education,and toward that end we provide educational programs free of charge throughout our communities - from pre-school aged children to senior citizens. Primary prevention and education programs are provided in schools from pre-K through college level as well as to area businesses, social and civic groups, and faith-based organizations. Programs include: Healthy Relationships, Anti-bullying, Staying Safe on College Campuses, Gender Images in the Media and more.
