SAFER Program

Survivors of Abuse Feeling Empowered for Re-entry (SAFER) is a unique collaboration between RESPOND and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department which helps people who are incarcerated or detained work through their experiences with domestic violence and plan for a safe space to go once released. The program provides support both in individual and group settings for all victims of domestic abuse before and after release from custody. The SAFER Coordinator and Domestic Violence Counselors provide emotional support, classes, court accompaniment, case management, safety planning and discharge planning. The RESPOND staff also work closely with probation, courts, and other agencies connected to survivors to provide the best opportunity for success.
