MISSION STATEMENT

Safe Haven’s mission is to provide relief for the underprivileged and distressed survivors, including children, of domestic violence by educating, advocating for, and empowering individuals. We promote safety, well-being and justice while respecting the adult survivors’ right to self-direction and control over their own lives. Safe Haven is committed to fostering changes necessary to eliminate personal, institutional and cultural oppression. We believe that ending domestic violence requires connection and collaboration to create a clear vision and a collective voice for social and systemic change.
