S.A.F.E. Place's Children's Program works with survivors and their children to provide counseling, advocacy, referrals, individual and group activities, tutoring, and various other methods of support for children who have been exposed to domestic violence and/or sex trafficking.
Our staff, volunteers, and community partners host a variety of events and plan activities for children staying in shelter, including holiday celebrations and summer cookouts. Regularly scheduled volunteers open up our onsite playroom for children staying in shelter, which provides parents time to work on their goals, cook, clean, or rest. We have a small playground available to family at all time.
We offer counseling services to children beginning at the age of 4 and up until they reach 18.
Children who have been exposed to domestic violence and/or sex trafficking either between their caregivers or in their own relationships can qualify for service.
Topics of discussion include:
* Processing of experiences as needed
* Domestic violence education
* Healthy relationships
* Coping skills
* Emotions and safety planning
All counseling appointments are at our shelter, however, we are willing to work with you if you have specific needs.
