It’s not your fault! You are not responsible for someone else’s controlling behavior. You have choices to help heal yourself and keep you and your family safe. You can call SAFE at 910.893.7233 to talk about your options.
Do your part to keep victims safe and hold offenders accountable. Explore and honor the victim’s choices, whether you agree with them or not. Condemn the abusive behavior, but never condemn the victim.

SAFE of Harnett County is a non-profit, charitable organization located in Harnett County.

SAFE’s mission is to provide safety and serve as an advocate for sexual assault and domestic violence victims, survivors and their families. We achieve this mission by providing empowering, client centered services.
SAFE of Harnett County is committed to serving victims and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence through advocacy, empowerment and education.
We believe that battering is more than physical abuse. It is a pattern of coercive behavior enforced by violence in which all parts of a victim’s life are subject to the batterer’s control. In addition to physical abuse, such coercive behavior includes sexual, emotional and economic abuse. We believe that domestic violence and sexual assault can only be stopped by working with victims to help promote healing and with perpetrators to promote change (intervention), helping systems work effectively to increase safety for victims and hold perpetrators accountable (advocacy) and creating a community that supports peaceful families and healthy relationships (prevention).
SAFE offers a wide range of services from a 24-hour, confidential crisis phone line, emergency shelter, court advocacy programs, to community education and professional training programs. Our services are free, confidential, and available to anyone who is a victim of interpersonal violence.
Thank You to the Family Violence Prevention Services Program, US DHHS, and NC Council for Women for financial support. SAFE is a United Way Agency.
