Safe in Harms Way Foundation Inc

Safe In Harm's Way is built by survivors, for survivors of domestic violence. Our bold, diverse, and inclusive Team and Board have lived through abuse, and thrived to create unique and diverse online services to survivor's biggest problems. We meet the greatest needs for historically marginalized communities with limited and difficult access concerns, addressing disparities in economics, court systems, transportation, and limited public awareness to unique dilemmas survivors face in gaining access to services, and ease of communication.

Let us be big and bold here- we don't just raise awareness of domestic violence; we actually provide free immediate and actionable unique solutions based on how survivors identify. Our whole-person approach includes children and pets.

We then turn and ensure employers, judges/lawyers/police/advocates, friends, and family understand the diverse disparities faced, and train them on trauma-informed best practice for interactions and support.
Recent "Love Me Not" campaigns have increased easy access to services by 415%, and successfully acted as a bridge to safety and healing for approximately 15k users (and counting) since launch.

Our unique and first-in-kind services brings safety, health, and community, (lessening shame and silence which keeps people from seeking help) to each person's unique identification and situations with eye-opening stories, public database of abuser conviction records, technology via apps with built in safety features, therapy, and online affinity groups. This ensures anytime, easy, and safe access in the peaceful and quiet moments without abusers, negating transportation/mobility problems, abuser power and control, and the economic issues affecting access to care.

We stand as architects of change, amplifying the voices of survivors by addressing the intricate web of emotions entwined with unhealthy relationships. Our values encompass a sanctuary where feelings find validation, where emotions find expression, and where healing begins. All corporate and advocacy partners must recognize the nuances present in healing and be diverse, equitable, and inclusive in creating change and connection for survivors, their children, and pets.

Challenges abound, and we pivot:
*Finding the right information in a trauma-informed, survivor-centric way can be over-whelming and confusing for survivors, their children, and pets seeking help, especially when overcoming inequities and limited access. Safe In Harm's Way fills that gap with community-focused US resources (5% worldwide training), and collaborating partners to expand solutions.
*The pandemic heightened survivor's isolation and stalking. Tools and Resources began our billboards initiatives. *Abuser can’t stop what someone sees while driving, so their power and control is diminished.
*Our online-based utilization increased during Covid and measurements showed robust outcomes of 520% increases to our services, while stagnant/traditional services provided by others decreased.
*Identifying as a survivor is even difficult. Surveying domestic violence "market resources", we discovered battered/bruised white women; and limited solutions. Excluding unique and racially diverse people, means deflection of ‘Well, at least I’m not that bad” or ensured marginalized and ostracised survivors. "Love Me Not Campaign" was born here to encompass feelings, providing solutions via everyone's common theme of fear.
*Writing books, while contributing to books recognizing the comorbid conditions of diverse survivors with unique needs, is our pivot to reach every age and demographic- achieving best-seller status instantly!
*Managing a Facebook group directly working with people of color expanded our community and negated racial inequities.
*Housing changes fueled our online service offerings, determined to have a consistency of coverage(42:06mark), so that no matter where a survivor moves, we are there.
*Our Founder is everywhere! Creating our own radio show, podcasts (racially/diverse/opportunities), magazines, and training judges, employers, and advocates, increasing survivor's trauma-informed allies.
*Clear pathways exist for community to influence and shape Safe In Harm's Way.
*Our private Facebook Group #SMARTWarriors(Social Media Action Response Team) where survivors, co-workers, advocates, family, and friends can safely share news, policy, ideas; decreasing isolation and shame, which we know keeps people from accessing help. Our diverse and unique #SMARTWarriors then share our content, tapping into their network; negating racial, identifying, and transportation disparities because people consume information best from those who affirm their identity.
*Our Chorus of Voices Campaigns", take survivors and allows them to share their stories publically to our community, and across the US. Storytelling saves lives, and reaches audiences which reflect our community, so that they can more easily access and participate in our services.
*Our website design highlights one survivor's journey, along with her daughter's perspective in its most raw and unfiltered/non-edited, allowing community to interact and be seen in their most vulnerable, too.

We are most proud of our Founder's foresight to ensure our entire organization is designed to reach the greatest needs for communities historically marginalized facing court system, transportation, mobility, and economic burden disparities of $3.6Trillion(2018 data/post-covid-not-released). This transforms the ability of individuals and families to heal.

Our use of out of home media is the great equalizing way to reach our community. Eliminating isolation by abusers, and being able to walk, drive, cab, busride, pump gas, and organically discover our online platform for easy access to our bold solutions for their biggest problems. Most importantly, this ensures our ability to eliminate the economic disparities that run within transportation, and mobility problems.

We look through resources, firsthand experiences, and talk with domestic shelters around the country. We embrace their perspectives and try to capture the truth of what they were going through, so we can ensure our solutions are ever-evolving and meeting specific and unique needs for historically marginalized communities based on race, identification, geography, or language skills.

Please read our attached files for every Campaign development, measurement, and outcomes data. Highlights are listed here:

*"Love Me Not" campaign. It's three campaigns (and decades long commitment) with first-in-kind, and only micro-site specifically created to meet the exact needs of diverse and marginalized communities based on their own identity choice. TheLastImSorry.com is designed to meet the unique needs of men, women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ community, English as a second language, disabled and medically-compromised people with immediate and actionable steps in their greatest time of need. Layering in two built-in safety features allows our most at-risk community to communicate safely, lessening stalking and isolation inflicted by abusers.
*We recognize that our community has specific/unique transportation, housing, and mobility issues. Consequently, we target bus/train stations, gas pumps, historical indigenous communities, and high-traffic areas, eliminating the inequities currently experienced with limited and difficult access to solutions for our most-marginalized members.
*Domestic Violence is the #1 way pregnant women die in the US. Combating this health disparity for females, resulted in our placement of services in clinics, medical office buildings, and pharmacies, allowing vital fundamental resources ease of access and communication.

"Take our hand. Let's go change the world" is our mantra, and we boldly believe we will.
