About Us
Stop Abuse For Everyone (SAFE) is a national non-profit that provides unique services for domestic violence victims and helps those who typically fall between the cracks of domestic violence services. The information we provide is for (but not limited to) straight men, LGBT victims, teens, and the elderly. SAFE works to bring community awareness to injustices that the media and other organizations tend to overlook. We promote the necessity for services for all victims and accountability for all perpetrators.
Our organization views domestic violence as a human rights issue. If you are in an abusive relationship, services should be available to you regardless of gender, sexuality, or age. We work to enlighten communities on different types of issues individuals face that are often underrepresented. Through our educational, media, and training programs, we inform the public on what to do if they become a victim. SAFE strives to address individual concerns and provide information to fill in the gaps in domestic violence services.
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.
