I am participating in Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center's Annual Walk Against Domestic Violence, as one of two major fundraisers annually. I am also a board member and chair of the marketing committee. This amazing organization has delivered over 40 years of survivor services to our local communities and implemented prevention programs in area schools.

This year we launched the Geiger Institute to grow our national domestic violence homicide prevention work at the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. We began this work 17 years ago as advocates, developing the Domestic Violence High Risk Team (DVHRT) Model and then the Danger Assessment for Law Enforcement (DA-LE), seeing firsthand how these solutions can be implemented right here in our backyard. To date, we have provided training and technical assistance to over 250 jurisdictions across the country working to prevent domestic violence homicides. The Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women recognized the DVHRT Model as a "leading promising practice" in intimate partner homicide prevention.

We have been busy and the need is greater than ever. We would love for you to join us for the Walk in October. See below for additional information. As many of you are beyond the Walk radius, please consider a donation to our organization to support our regional efforts and/or our national work.
