OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION IS IN OUR NAME, "STOP ABUSE FOR EVERYONE."

We develop programs and disseminate educational materials, provide access to resources and best practices, foster public awareness, and promote an inclusive process to recognize all forms of abuse and all victims of abuse, including under-served victim populations. Education and public awareness is an important aspect of our work. SAFE educates the general public, health organizations, criminal justice agencies, and service providers on violence prevention.

We also have advocacy programs to bring awareness of issues to community leaders/policymakers on legislative reforms. SAFE provides unique services for domestic violence victims and helps individuals for whom few services are available. SAFE was selected as one of only 50 promising strategy programs in the nation to prevent domestic violence by the National Crime Prevention Council.
