Our Mission

 

Safe Harbor is dedicated to eliminating domestic violence through prevention, education, and intervention.

Our shelter has been included in the lack of calls we normally receive before the pandemic started. We also have seen an increase in more extreme cases in the calls we are receiving. Our shelter is still open. We have domestic violence advocates, legal advocates and child advocates that can help anyone who is seeking advice, referrals or shelter. Protective orders can still be filed during this time as well. Please don’t hesitate to call for yourself or to obtain information for friends and family.
