All services are free, confidential, and available as a Client in our residential program or in our non-residential program. Our service areas primarily include Montgomery, Stewart, Houston, and Cheatham Counties in Tennessee. In response to Covid-19, Clients have the option to receive non-residential services via secure videoconferencing technology to prevent risk for exposure to the virus. Our goal is to provide comprehensive services to move our Clients from surviving to thriving in a life free from abuse.
01Residential Program
We offer 24/7 access to our residential program to provide safe shelter to Survivors and their minor children fleeing from domestic violence. Residential clients do not only receive shelter, but advocacy and case management services to help them plan for the “What next?”
Child Advocacy – Services are available to support our Client’s minor children who have experienced domestic violence.
Safety Planning – Staff assist clients in developing personalized plans to address each Survivor’s unique safety needs.
02Non-Residential Program
Services are available to Clients who seek support as they navigate ending their abusive relationships, but do not necessarily need safe shelter. A Case Manager is available to provide mobile advocacy services, in-person, at discreet and confidential locations or remotely through a secure video-conferencing program. Survivors leaving our residential program to transition into their own permanent housing can also receive aftercare services for additional support.
Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program – SafeHouse has certified application assistants to enroll Survivors into Tennessee’s address confidentiality program.
03Case Management
Our Residential and Non-Residential Case Manager provide support and individual advocacy services to assess each Client’s needs and to establish Client led goals. Case Managers support Clients in obtaining employment, transportation, housing, medical care, behavioral health treatment, government benefits, financial assistance, community referrals and any additional assistance needed to support the goals set by the Client.
Support Groups – SafeHouse hosts support, educational, and activity groups for our residential and non-residential clients.
