Crisis Center For Domestic Abuse
About Crisis Center For Domestic Abuse
The Bridge is the kind of place that shows up when a crisis is still unfolding. In Fremont and five Nebraska counties, it offers 24-hour support, emergency shelter, advocacy, and counseling for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. For donors, the reason to care is simple, this work helps people find safety, support, and a next step when they need it most.
The Bridge stands out for being available around the clock and for meeting survivors with both immediate crisis response and longer-range support like prevention education and advocacy. It also offers services in Spanish, youth prevention training, and volunteer-supported crisis-line response, which helps the work reach beyond one moment of emergency.
