DOVE, Inc. (Domestic Violence Ended) was created in 1978 by the Violence Against Women Task Force of the Quincy Mayor’s Commission on the Status of Women. The task force included representatives from the District Attorney’s office, the Police Department and other local social service agencies. After investigating domestic violence and local resources for victims, the task force determined that a central agency was needed to provide services to abused women and their families. The agency’s name was chosen to represent the universal symbol of peace.

Transition House works towards the prevention and cessation of domestic violence (DV) through education, outreach and intervention. To achieve our mission we provide long and short-term shelter/housing services, supportive services, youth violence prevention services and empowerment skills. Our goal is to provide these services in a diverse and culturally sensitive setting that supports and empowers families to choose lifelong freedom from domestic violence. We strive to dispel the notion that domestic violence is inevitable, to provide violence prevention education to children and adults, to educate the community about the realities of domestic and dating violence, and to offer viable and effective intervention strategies to other providers of services to battered women and children.
