Safe Harbor Mission Statement

To provide temporary safe shelter for victims of family violence
and their children.

To train and educate the general public, parents and children, and
professionals who deal with victims and perpetrators of domestic
violence.

To coordinate a sustained effort to alleviate the escalating and
devastating problem of family violence in our community.

Safe Harbor Beliefs

We believe that the safety of family violence victims and their
children must always be a top priority.

We believe that the escalating and devastating problem of family
violence deserves a strong, singular voice to coordinate and
collaborate with community efforts toward shelter, counseling,
legal assistance, health care and social service systems.

We believe that breaking the intergenerational cycle of abuse is so
crucial that the entire community must collaborate in educating
parents and children to end the perpetuation of this tragic pattern.

We believe that services to treat batterers must be an integral part of
a comprehensive family violence program.

We believe that an independent Board of Directors, operating a free
standing shelter would best be able to maintain community support,
attract optimum funding and meet the needs of victims of family
violence.
