Someplace Safe Pope County

To create a safer world for everyone. We work to eliminate violence and oppression through advocacy, education and services.

Description:
Someplace Safe is a non-profit organization providing services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in West Central Minnesota. For our communities we provide violence prevention programming in schools, create partnerships with criminal justice agencies to promote system change and educate the professional and general public about the effects of violence on our communities.

History:
Someplace Safe was incorporated in 1979 as a 501c3, private non-profit corporation dedicated to serving victims of domestic violence by providing a 24-hour emergency shelter for battered women and their children. Since the opening of the shelter in December of 1979, we have expanded our services to include victims of sexual assault and general crimes. Someplace Safe also operates five Parenting Time Centers to provide supervised visitations and exchanges for children and their families.
