Why Summer Can be Dangerous for Domestic Violence Survivors and How SAFE is Here to Help
More time at home shouldn’t mean more danger — but for many survivors of domestic violence, summer brings increased isolation, tension, and risk. As the days get longer, so do the hours spent in unsafe environments. That’s why awareness matters.
At SAFE, we’re not just aware — we’re prepared. Our crisis hotline is open 24/7, even on weekends, to support survivors when they need it most. And during the week, we offer a listening ear, advocacy, and planning for those looking to reclaim their safety.
If you or someone you love is in danger, call us at (985) 542-8384. You are not alone.
Who We Are: Introducing SAFE and Our Mission to Empower Survivors
SAFE’s mission is to promote social change by empowering survivors and their children to lead safe, violence-free lives. We do this while partnering with the community to provide education and resources that foster healthy relationships and hold perpetrators accountable.
We believe everyone deserves to feel safe — at home, in relationships, and in their communities.
