Physical violence can include hitting, kicking, throwing things, restraint, or using a weapon. It can come from someone we know and love, in the form of domestic violence or child abuse, or from a total stranger. It can be expected or without warning, a single event or a regular experience. Physical violence can cause emotional trauma, even if our bodies fully heal, and can make it harder for us to move freely and safely through our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safe Horizon offers victims, survivors, and their families emotional and concrete support immediately after violence, including trauma focused counseling, shelter, safety planning, lock replacement, and advocacy with police and the courts. Immediate and long term supports include counseling, support groups, and shelter. We also advocate to raise awareness and change laws to protect survivors of physical violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
We offer a variety of services for people who have experienced physical violence, from shelter to mental health support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
