Así como no hay un ‘yo’ en el ‘trabajo de equipo', no habría un ‘24/7’ en los servicios de Safe Harbor sin nuestro Equipo de Vida Comunitaria, quienes hacen que nuestros albergues operen las 24 horas, 7 días a la semana. Nuestro Equipo de Vida Comunitaria trabaja días, noches, y fines de semanas para realizar las necesidades y mantener la seguridad y bienestar de los residentes de nuestros albergues en Greenville, Anderson, y Oconee.

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.

I am a survivor of domestic violence.


“I didn’t know that I was being abused...

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
