ABOUT SAFEHOPE

Safehope, Inc., based in Newton, Kansas, provides advocacy and support to all survivors and secondary victims of domestic and sexual violence, and stalking in Harvey, Marion and McPherson counties. Safehope creates a safe environment for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to understand the resources and options available to them and get support as they begin to heal from the trauma.

Safehope provides advocacy and service to all survivors and secondary victims of domestic and sexual violence and stalking. No one will be denied services based on race, disability, color, gender, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, veteran status, family status, military status, or political affiliation.

We serve those who are survivor/victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and stalking at no charge. Services meet the needs not only for victims seeking emergency shelter but also for outreach victims and their families in our rural service area for crucial “outreach services.”

The Safe House shelter is a “safe haven” for shelter victims. To provide “crisis shelter” as the only option for victims in a rural area increases the “barriers” for them to provide safe choices; we provide outreach victims the same individual and children advocacy services as shelter victims. The goal is to provide more effective advocacy according to the victim’s needs and circumstances. Being able to find support through visiting, sharing of needs, or participating in family activities at the Safe House, has been a key empowerment tool in our rural communities.

Services include Safe House shelter, adult and child advocacy, family outreach services, advocacy in the courtroom, advocacy with Protection from Abuse and Stalking orders, hospital advocacy, on-going support groups, 24-hour Helpline and advocacy in finding community resources and referrals for all victims according to their personal needs. Victims and their children receive essential services such as case management, community resources, children resources, housing, employment, continued education, medical needs, financial budgeting, parenting, transportation, legal resources, life skills, substance abuse and basic needs. Immediate services are crucial to support victims with safe options emotionally and/or physically for the children and survivor/victim.
