Welcome to SAFE — Southeast Advocates for Family Empowerment

Every day, someone in our community wakes up afraid — afraid of their partner, afraid for their children, afraid of what might happen next. At SAFE, we believe no one should ever have to live in fear.

We are a nonprofit organization serving Tangipahoa, Livingston, and St. Helena Parishes, providing lifesaving support to survivors of domestic violence and their children. From emergency shelter and crisis intervention to legal advocacy, emotional support, and financial empowerment, SAFE stands beside survivors as they begin the brave journey toward healing and safety.

But we can’t do this work alone. Your support makes everything we do possible.

When you give to SAFE, you’re not just donating — you’re giving someone hope. You’re helping a mother escape with her children. You’re helping a young person realize that abuse is not love. You’re helping a survivor reclaim their power, their peace, and their future.

💜 You are part of the change.

Together, we can break the cycle of abuse and build a community where safety, dignity, and healing are possible for all. Thank you for standing with us.
