EVE (End Violent Encounters)

Mission: To support domestic and sexual abuse survivors on their journey of healing and empower our community through education and awareness.

Founded in 1977, the Council Against Domestic Assault (CADA) began with a group of concerned community members who wanted to help support their family, friends, and neighbors. The Council Against Domestic Assault grew to include Lansing’s first domestic violence shelter and supportive services for survivors and their children. In recent years, CADA changed its name to EVE (End Violent Encounters) to reflect EVE’s comprehensive services to survivors. ​ Today, End Violent Encounters has grown to provide supportive services such as advocacy, medical advocacy, counseling, crisis intervention, children’s programs, and community education to survivors of many forms of violence including domestic, sexual, stalking, and elder abuse.

End Violent Encounters offers a comprehensive array of services designed to meet the needs of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. These services include emergency shelter, crisis counseling, and legal advocacy to help survivors navigate the legal system and secure protection orders. EVE provides individual and group counseling for adults and children, aimed at fostering emotional healing and resilience. The organization also engages in community education and outreach to raise awareness about domestic violence and promote prevention efforts. Through their supportive programs, EVE helps survivors regain control over their lives and work toward long-term safety and well-being.
