Safe House

The Safe House is a short-term residential facility for women and their children seeking confidential refuge from an unsafe living situation. Located in a Colonial-style home in a quiet residential setting, the Safe House has 5 private bedrooms, a comfortable living area and a common kitchen as well as a playroom for children and private offices for counseling services. There is also a fenced-in back yard where the children can play.

During residency (up to 60 days) women and their children are provided counseling services and intensive case management which includes, but is not limited to: social services, housing, continuing education, employment readiness or other additional services to guide the resident toward becoming independent.

Individual and group counseling services are available for both women and their children. The Safe House environment is violence-free and offers professional as well as peer support to victims of abuse with the goal of continuing the dynamic of a non-violent life style following their residency.
