At Safe Harbor, we are saddened and heartbroken as we hear about the increased incidents of violent hate crimes committed against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, including the massacre that took place in Atlanta on March 16th.
"I am a warrior! I found peace within myself that I never know was there."
Jade came to us as an intern for the Fall semester of 2020 and continues to volunteer through our Ambassador Program. When asked why she chose to intern at Safe Harbor, Jade answered with “I just love the agency.”
Vital funding for domestic violence and sexual assault victim services organizations remains insecure due to a failure to act from Congress. Contact your legislators today, urging them to take immediate action so that the Crime Victims Fund can continue to support the work of Safe Harbor and other agencies throughout the United States.
We encourage members of our community who support Safe Harbor's work to contact your legislators, encouraging them to support a fix for the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Fund. Our mission depends on it.
I feel like I could write a million reasons why domestic violence is something that I am passionate about. Domestic violence is sadly woven into the fabric of our society and does not discriminate. I knew I wanted to intern at Safe Harbor a few years ago after my best friend almost lost her life to domestic violence. Safe Harbor does so much to be a part of a solution for domestic violence, and I want to be a part of that solution.
In light of International Men’s Day, I wanted to share a few thoughts of my own! As a primary prevention coordinator, I spend time in conversation with teens about intimate partner violence, healthy relationships, and the role that Safe Harbor plays in assisting and empowering survivors.
“I didn’t know that I was being abused because my definition of abuse looked different. My husband pushed me, but most of my suffering was verbal and psychological. I left my husband to protect our young daughter. Almost immediately I felt the weight of his oppression begin to lift. I could see a difference in my daughter as well. Then he broke into my home and assaulted me in-front of her.
I sought help and was led to Safe Harbor. My daughter and I are in counseling now. I am sorting out the mess that abuse has caused. I am finding my voice and seeking opportunities to grow and better my life as well as my daughter's. She will gauge her self-worth from my own self-worth. I must show her that she deserves the best, by expecting the best for myself.
Many years I suffered in silence. By telling my story and being honest with friends and family, I am taking control of my life again.”
