Safe Harbor Training Center offers a variety of workshops and training that will develop, equip, train, educate, bring awareness to communities, and restore families.  
The goal of Safe Harbor support group is to create a community of awareness around the issues of abuse, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

From 2003 through 2016, at least 1,671 Georgia citizens lost their lives due to domestic violence.

 

Georgia was recently ranked 8th in the nation for its rate of men killing women.

 

15.5 million children witnessed domestic violence at least once in the past year.

 

Immigrants and refugees experience violence at the same rates as other communities.

 


If you would like for someone to speak to your church, civic group, business, or organization about domestic violence please phone us at 404-692-3245.
