SafeCenter

MISSION STATEMENT SafeCenter builds comprehensive and sustainable community strategies to eliminate domestic and sexual violence in Clinton & Shiawassee Counties.

VISION STATEMENT SafeCenter’s vision is to support a community where all individuals experience the right to be safe from domestic and sexual violence.

PHILOSOPHY SafeCenter advocates the right for every person, adult or child, to live in a non-violent environment where individuality and equality are recognized and respected. We seek to maintain a supportive atmosphere wherein victims are able to obtain information, explore options and ultimately make their own choices. We understand that the scope of domestic and sexual violence transcends our local community. Work against societal violence must be achieved through networking locally as well as nationally. Heightened awareness can lead to changes in society’s attitudes about victims and the conditions which lead to violence. Domestic and sexual violence are crimes that not only affect the victims and their families but society as a whole. Interventions must hold abusers accountable through a coordinated community response. It is the agency’s expectation that volunteers and employees will embrace, promote and model the empowerment philosophy.

VALUES SafeCenter values: • Safe family relationships • Trusted community relationships • Respect and dignity for all individuals • Knowledge, evaluation and continued education

Services are available to adults and children affected by domestic and sexual violence.
