DOVE (Domestic Violence Ended), Inc.
About
DOVE, short for Domestic Violence Ended, is a Quincy-based nonprofit that supports people and families affected by domestic or partner violence. All of its services are free and confidential. Survivors can reach a 24-hour hotline, work with community-based advocates, get legal advocacy and court support, and find a place to stay in an emergency shelter. The organization’s guiding words are hope, healing, safety and social change, and it partners with diverse communities.
Services reach well beyond crisis response. DOVE runs children’s clinical services, civilian domestic violence advocacy and outreach at the Quincy and Dedham district courts. Its emergency shelter helps participants steady themselves after a crisis or a period of homelessness, and support staff keep participants safe around the clock all year. Prevention is part of the mission too, through outreach presentations, trainings and YouthSpeak presentations on dating abuse.
