• Our Children’s Coordinator focuses on the unique needs of children in shelter. The long-term effects upon children who witness domestic violence can be devastating. While in shelter, the residents and their children learn alternatives to violent behavior. Parenting skills are taught and/or enhanced to specifically deal with the problems and behaviors associated with children growing up in abusive homes.
  
  
• Educational advocacy for children including securing a new and safe school environment, assistance with the coordination of safely transferring information from the former school to the new school, tutoring, and any other advocacy necessary to see that their education is interrupted as minimally as possible.

The SafeSpace hotline is staffed 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. It is an invaluable source for information, support, and referrals for victims of domestic violence or those concerned for a friend or family member in an abusive situation.
