THE MISSION OF CRISIS CENTER NORTH IS TO EMPOWER VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CULTIVATE ATTITUDES AND COMMUNITY BEHAVIORS THAT BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE. Crisis Center North is a 501(c)(3) non-profit counseling and resource center that provides services to victims of domestic violence and their loved ones in northern and western Allegheny County via counseling, therapy, case management, legal and medical advocacy, and economic empowerment services.
