MESSAGE TO OUR CLIENTS, SUPPORTERS AND WEBSITE VISITORS AS WE ALL LIVE THROUGH COVID-19 TOGETHER

Please know that Safe Shores continues to be here as a resource for you and our community during this time of uncertainty. In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19, we have shifted our operations to work remotely until it is appropriate to do otherwise. Though our physical offices are closed, we are working on ways to provide services while observing the precautions that this moment in time requires. These include forensic interviews, therapy and mental health support, client advocacy services, and prevention trainings.

We will continue to share updates. Feel free to contact Safe Shores with any questions or concerns at team@safeshores.org as well as through any of the staff email addresses available here. #DoingOurPart to #FlattentheCurve Because We’re #AllInThisTogether and must #ProtectKids365
