HOME SAFE'S "SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM" FEATURE

SAFETY NET is our featured program, dedicated to providing individual and group counseling to adults and children with a desire to break the dangerous cycle of family violence for future generations.

 

SAFETY NET'S GOAL: PREVENTING THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE!

The Safety Net Prevention & Intervention Program was implemented as a partnership between Home Safe and the State Attorney's Office in 1998. The program has been providing year-round adult, teen and child support groups, individual therapy, crisis intervention, preventative education and court advocacy to victims of family violence. Adults first develop a safety plan with the staff to ensure the security of their family and throughout the program are offered many other resources to build healthy relationships together that are strength based. We strive to encourage families to adjust family relationships with an emphasis on non-violent communication, mutual respect and healthy home environments.

THE STRENGTH OF OUR PROGRAM IS REFLECTED IN THE FACTS:

  • In the 10 years of Safety Net's programming, we have successfully graduated over 450 families.
  • Safety Net is the ONLY program in Palm Beach County that provides support groups for adults, teens and children on a regular basis with the added benefits of childcare, meals for the children and local transportation.
  • Safety Net attributes much of its success to the 40 volunteers that devote their time, contributions and talent to the program each year.
  • Safety Net has a bilingual staff member to provide these vital services to the underserved Hispanic victims of family violence in our community.
