Safe Passage: Empowering Survivors through Advocacy and Support in Domestic Violence Intervention
Safe Passage is a non-residential domestic/intimate partner violence intervention program that has been operating for 27 years on Staten Island. The program is part of the Domestic Violence Services Department, and its mission is to educate, empower, advocate, and support individuals, families, and communities affected by violence. We offer assistance to adult and child/teen survivors, helping them to increase their independence and make healthier choices for their future.
What is the Program’s Philosophy
We provide a survivor-centered approach that empowers survivors by prioritizing their rights, needs, and wishes. Our program’s mission is to educate, empower, advocate, and support individuals, families and communities affected by violence. We work to ensure that our services are tailored to providing safety and security, housing stability, economic empowerment, counseling and education, and increasing community awareness of domestic and intimate partner violence. Our staff provides a wide range of services for domestic and intimate partner violence impacted adults and children; however, services remain distinct for the non-residential program.
