Safe At Home provides healing services to youth who have been traumatized by exposure to violence including domestic violence, child abuse, teen dating abuse, and sexual assault in order to empower them to live healthy lives free of violence.
We developed our multi-faceted school-based program, Margaret’s Place, with the understanding that protective factors can decrease or mitigate the harm associated with exposure to violence and complex trauma. Our master’s level counselors help children to strengthen their resilience, let them know that they are not alone, and underscore that the violence is not their fault – all while providing a safe place in the school. Margaret’s Place layered approach also raises youth consciousness about violence and it’s effects on individuals and communities. At Margaret’s Place, we work to empower youth and help them find their voice. We also provide training and consultation to school staff, families, and communities regarding trauma and its impact.
Safe At Home has 20 Margaret’s Place program sites in communities across the country. Each year, SAH provides services to more than 19,000 young people ages 11 through 18 in schools and community-based settings, many of whom are impacted by trauma and violence in their homes, schools, and communities.
We appreciate your feedback! We look forward to continuing to improve our service to you.
