Our Services
Every person's journey is different. We meet you where you are with comprehensive, trauma-informed support.
Emergency Shelter
Safe, confidential housing for individuals and families fleeing domestic violence. Our shelters provide a secure environment where you can begin to heal, with private rooms, meals, and personal care essentials provided at no cost.

Trained advocates available around the clock to listen, support, and help you create a safety plan. Whether you're in immediate danger or simply need someone to talk to, our confidential hotline is always open.
Legal Advocacy
Our legal team helps you navigate protective orders, custody matters, and court proceedings. We provide accompaniment to court, help with paperwork, and connect you with pro bono attorneys who understand your situation.
Counseling & Therapy
Individual and group therapy with licensed trauma-informed counselors. Our therapeutic approach focuses on empowerment, healing, and building resilience for you and your family in a safe, nurturing space.
Children's Program
Age-appropriate counseling, tutoring, and enrichment activities designed to help children process their experiences. Our certified child specialists create a sense of normalcy and joy through play therapy, art, and mentoring.
Transitional Housing
Long-term supportive housing with case management to help you rebuild. Our transitional program includes life skills workshops, job readiness training, financial literacy, and ongoing support as you move toward independence.
Resources
Information and tools to help you stay safe and plan your next steps.
A personalized safety plan can help you prepare for a crisis situation. Key steps include: identifying safe areas in your home away from weapons, memorizing important phone numbers, keeping important documents and a bag packed in a hidden location, establishing a code word with trusted friends or family, and knowing the location of your nearest shelter. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Connecting with others who share similar experiences can be a powerful part of healing. SafeHaven hosts weekly support groups for survivors in a confidential, facilitated setting. Topics include rebuilding self-esteem, co-parenting after abuse, financial empowerment, and processing trauma. Contact us for the current schedule and locations.
Understanding your legal rights is an important step toward safety. Georgia law provides protections including Temporary Protective Orders (TPOs), family violence protective orders, and stalking protective orders. You have the right to remain in your home while your abuser is removed, and you do not need an attorney to file for protection. Our advocates can guide you through each step of the process.
Financial abuse is one of the most common barriers to leaving. SafeHaven provides emergency financial assistance for rent, utilities, transportation, and childcare. We also partner with local workforce development programs to provide job training, resume building, and interview preparation. Our financial literacy workshops cover budgeting, credit repair, and long-term financial planning.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
