50 Years of Safe Connections 1976-2026


It started with a single phone in a small apartment answered around the clock by volunteers. The women answering were a lifeline for callers isolated and in crisis because of domestic or sexual abuse. Fifty years later, we still answer calls 24/7. Individual and group therapy and prevention education complete our safe space where violence ends and healthy relationships begin.

Please join us in lighting up our legacy of hope. Throughout 2026, we’ve reflected, learned, and celebrated with a full calendar of commemorative events. There are two final commemorative events left in 2026. We hope to see you at the big, fancy gala in October or the final book club gathering in December! Details on linked event pages.
