Although you can’t control an abuser’s use of violence, you can plan how you will respond to future abusive or violent incidents, prepare for the possibility of an incident happening, and plan how to get to safety. We can help with your safety plan and help end the pain, abuse, and even shame, that you are suffering.

Although violence is manifested differently, women (and men) of all ages, nationalities, economic classes, and ethnic groups are affected. We proudly use an empowerment approach, which places the Safe Haven advocates with victims, to help them cope with abuse, plan for safety, and develop self-esteem.

Since 2011 an increasing number of local government bodies across the country have adopted resolutions or proclamations recognizing that freedom from domestic violence is a human right. We believe in that right and we believe in freedom from abuse, violence, and oppression.

We often hear how Safe Haven feels more like a home than what someone normally thinks of when they hear the word “shelter.” It provides safe, emergency housing for survivors and their minor children in a confidential location. Above all though, it provides hope. Residents not only receive food, clothing, and hygiene items, but also case management, resources and referrals, peer counseling, and additional support in achieving their goals.
