SAFE-SPACE FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC & FAMILY VIOLENCE (DFV)
Sometimes people experiencing DFV will need a safe place to receive information, research options, meet with DFV workers, make phone calls from a phone that can't be traced by an abusive family member or use a safe source of internet. We can provide access to resources and spaces for this purpose. Simply approach our staff/volunteers and ask for a "Safe-Space".
