Safe Harbor Voice | December 2, 2021

Just as there is no “I” in “teamwork”, there would be no 24/7 services at Safe Harbor without our incredible Community Living Team, who keep our shelters operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Safe Harbor’s Community Living team work days, nights and weekends to meet needs and maintain the safety and well-being of our shelter residents and children in our three shelters.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Jennifer Vasquez

Safe Harbor Voice | September 21, 2021

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been with Safe Homes Rape Crisis Coalition in Spartanburg for 4 years providing bilingual therapy services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Recently, I opened my private practice, Oasis Counseling Associates, where I provide virtual therapy services to adults and families in the state of South Carolina.

I am a survivor of domestic violence.

“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.”

- Beth
