Safe Harbour...a place for new
beginnings.
Safe Harbour's mission is to provide families with an alternative
to family violence. We offer safety, encouragement and support. Safe
Harbour provides shelter, counseling, advocacy, support groups and
community awareness education.
Some of our families arrive with just the clothes they had on when
they had to flee their home. We hope that Safe Harbour is their new
beginning, as we provide for all of their needs while in shelter.
Our goal is to create a safe place for families to stay by providing
a confidential shelter and a supportive living environment that allows
women to make informed choices about their future.
When someone calls Safe Habour, we can offer help in many ways. We
offer crisis counseling and referrals to other area services as necessary.
If a women is seeking shelter, we determine her needs and help her
decide if shelter is the right alternative. Sometimes, just talking
to one of our trained caregivers gives the victim a new perspective
to make decisions about their future. Our legal advocates will accompany
the client through proceedings in Court and our support groups always
welcome new members who want to change the direction of their lives.
Education about domestic violence is critical to helping our clients
make informed decisions about their lives. |
