local statistics

We see the number of calls we receive on our crisis line increase dramatically with the new leadership at Safe Harbors.

We attribute this to the efforts we’ve made to inform the community of our services, engage with our community partners, and provide outstanding service to those who have sought us out (and those individuals often will tell their friends and family about their positive experiences, thus increasing the likelihood someone they know who needs services will also call).
