SafePlace seeks to end sexual and domestic violence through safety, healing, prevention and social change. The organization provides a comprehensive range of services, including a 105-bed shelter for battered adults and their children. Sadly, SafePlace has waiting lists for all its services. The grant from Impact Austin will help alleviate this tragic situation by funding a new telephone counseling program that will be free, easily accessible and have far-reaching impact for women hurt by sexual and domestic violence. The organization expects to provide counseling to a population of approximately 250 that currently cannot access SafePlace’s services. This new program will be critically important for women trapped in their homes and women enduring long waits for services. Phone counseling offers brief, solution-focused therapy and will provide a new and innovative model in the field of sexual and domestic violence.
