Safe and Fear-free Environment, Inc. (SAFE)

IMMEDIATE SAFETY/SHELTER



Some victims break free of abuse but never break into loving themselves.

The notion of loving yourself may sound self-centered or selfish, but it isn't! Loving yourself is a part of well-being.

Well-being is a life-long journey with big rewards. Thriving is beyond surviving.

It is living fully and gives you balance through life's ups and downs; celebrations and devastation.
