SAFE HOUSE INC

S.A.F.E. HOUSE, INC. OPERATES ONE OF THE LARGEST CONFIDENTIAL EMERGENCY SHELTERS IN THE STATE AND HAS 62 SHELTER BEDS, WHICH REPRESENTS NEARLY 45% OF THE UNDISCLOSED, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER BEDS IN CLARK COUNTY. A VICTIM'S JOURNEY TO SAFETY BEGINS WHEN THEY CALL S.A.F.E. HOUSE, INC.'S 24/7 EMERGENCY HOTLINE OR COME IN CONTACT WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OR OTHER AGENCIES WHO REFER THEM TO THE SHELTER. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE SHELTER, A SURVIVOR'S MOST BASIC NEEDS ARE ATTENDED TO, WHICH INCLUDES ASSESSING THE CLIENT'S SAFETY, MEDICAL, AND PHYSICAL NEEDS. WITHIN 48 HOURS, THE CLIENT MEETS WITH THE CASE MANAGER AND BEGINS TO DEVELOP A CASE PLAN. OVER TIME, THIS PLAN EXPANDS INTO A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR ALL OF THE SERVICES A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WILL NEED SUCH AS SUPPORT GROUP ATTENDANCE, INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, PARENTING CLASSES, EMPLOYMENT ISSUES, EDUCATIONAL ISSUES, HOUSING NEEDS, AND HOUSEHOLD NECESSITIES. S.A.F.E. HOUSE, INC. ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN TOO AND PROVIDES THEM WITH CLOTHING, FOOD, AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HELP THEM FEEL AT HOME. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICES INCLUDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE S.A.F.E. HOUSE, INC.'S CLIENT EMPOWERMENT FUND, WHICH SUPPORTS CLIENTS' EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING GOALS. WHEN FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE, CLIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR EMPLOYMENT EXPENSES, DAYCARE, TRANSPORTATION, UTILITIES, HOUSING, AND ANY OTHER EXPENSES NECESSARY TO HELP THEM MAINTAIN THEIR SELF-SUFFICIENCY AFTER THE ABUSE.

S.A.F.E. HOUSE, INC. ACKNOWLEDGES THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE THAT MENTAL HEALTH PLAYS IN THE JOURNEY FROM VICTIM TO SURVIVOR. COUNSELING SERVICES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS, OFFERED AT BOTH THE SHELTER AND THE COUNSELING AND ADVOCACY CENTER SITUATED IN HENDERSON. OUR DEDICATED COUNSELORS ASSIST CLIENTS IN COMPREHENDING THE PROFOUND IMPACT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, GUIDING THEM TOWARDS HEALING OPTIONS, ENHANCING LIFE SKILLS, AND FOSTERING GREATER SELF-AWARENESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT ADMINISTERS COURT-ORDERED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CLASSES, FURTHER EMPHASIZING OUR COMMITMENT TO STOP ABUSE IN THE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT.
