Prudence Crandall Center for Women was established in June of 1973 by a group of women who had a vision of a place for women to meet, share, and support one another. The initial focus of the center was to identify the health, employment and social service needs of area women and empower them to participate in all aspects of community life.

Prudence Crandall Center is the oldest domestic violence program in Connecticut and the second oldest in the nation. The center offers services to women, men and children who are victims of domestic violence. It is the only domestic violence program serving Plymouth, Terryville, Berlin, Bristol, Burlington, Kensington, Plainville, New Britain and Southington. The Prudence Crandall Center's mission is dedicated to helping individuals achieve lives free of domestic violence by providing care, advocacy, support and education.

To reach the center's 24-hour emergency hotline for crisis intervention, counseling, shelter services, information and referrals, please call 1-888-774-2900. All services are free and confidential.
