We are dedicated to ending domestic violence. By providing shelter, individual and group counseling, court and legal support, and community programs and engagement, approximately 8,000 individuals each year benefit- many receiving the support they need to lead healthy, independent lives.

At Safehome women’s shelter near you in Johnson County, we know that partner abuse doesn’t discriminate and are here for all survivors, from any background and with any story.

Psychological, financial, sexual, and emotional abuse are all forms of domestic violence and often precede physical violence.

“The first happiness of a child is to know they are loved.”
Children who witness domestic violence or are victims of abuse themselves are at serious risk for long-term physical and mental health problems. Children who witness
violence between parents may also be at greater risk of being violent in their future relationships.
The cycle of violence is broken through the next generation.
