“Thank you for supporting me in court. You helped me turn my life around. I finally feel free.”
“Diana and her children have been receiving counseling services since June 2010. Diana moved with her children to a new apartment and is looking for a job. Diana shared with the Court Advocate that she feels ‘free’ and is feeling better than she has in years. Diana is also sharing her story through Domestic Violence events because she wants to share with people how beneficial the help was which she received through Safe Harbor.”

Community Training
Safe Harbor believes that education is a powerful way to help reduce the incidence of sexual and domestic violence. Presentations and trainings are available to increase the community’s knowledge and understanding about sexual and domestic violence, the services provided by Safe Harbor and how each individual has a part to play in creating healthier relationships and communities. The more we are able to educate our community on these critical issues, the greater our opportunity to work effectively towards transforming lives and ending sexual and domestic violence.
