Safe Haven

is a crisis intervention center providing support to victims, survivors and their families dealing with past or current domestic violence and/or sexual abuse issues. The following services are FREE and confidential to adults, children and families.

Mission Statement

Safe Haven, Inc. of Pike County is dedicated to restoring dignity to individuals dealing with issues of domestic violence and sexual abuse through crisis intervention, advocacy and support, prevention/education, and community outreach.

Our Philosophy

Safe Haven advocates the right for every person, adult or child to live in a non-violent environment where individuality and equality are recognized and respected. In addition, we believe that through education, training, and counseling, survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse can be empowered with the strength to choose and maintain a lifestyle of personal growth and purpose. We are committed to obtain participation within the agency from persons of various backgrounds and experience. Our goal is to eliminate racism, classism, and sexism by examining our own actions and by challenging others to do the same.

We respond to the needs of victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse by providing direct services in the form of counseling and advocacy for adults and children, community educations projects, training programs and by maintaining a hotline for victims to provide access to a trained worker on a 24 hour basis.
