Hope isn’t just something we believe in. It’s something we do.

It shows up in the everyday ways we choose to stand with survivors, offer support, and work toward safer communities. We can’t do this work alone. Our community’s support makes all the difference.

This week, we came together at our annual fall luncheon and reminded one another that we all have a part to play in creating safer communities.

To everyone who joined us and to our generous sponsors who made the day possible, thank you. Your presence, partnership, and belief in this work mean so much.

Together, let’s keep turning hope into action. 💜

Did you know that since the late 1990s, Safe Haven has been facilitating violence-prevention curriculum in schools throughout our community?

Our My Voice Matters (MVM) program is a theory-informed curriculum developed by Safe Haven with modules for middle- and high-school-age youth aimed at preventing relationship abuse as well as human trafficking.

Throughout this program, 94% of students learned how to keep themselves safe, including when using the internet, and 100% of trained teachers reported feeling confident that they had the skills to facilitate the MVM curriculum.

Learn more about MVM and explore our resources for your community and for parents/guardians. Link in the comments.
