How can I reach out without messing my life up...
I don't think I'm a "victim," but I just want a way out.
I know they need help, but what can I do?...

But... there's more to the story
Many more are entrapped by people they know through complicated domestic situations that leave them vulnerable and helpless to the harm around them.
They need a voice.
They need an answer when they've lost hope, when they're afraid of hurting their families, when they don't want to be ashamed, when they don't want their home to be torn apart suddenly, when they want help, but IN THEIR OWN TIME.
They need protection from what's around them through people they can trust. They need people who can be ready to listen and understand the situation, and can help safely, delicately, and slowly bring them out when they're ready. People who have the means and resources to extend beyond the scope of their situation and bring them out. They need a network of safety, or as we call it,
a "SAFE - WALL."
SafeWall
a way to GET help - a way to GIVE help
SafeWall
is being organized for the purpose of providing social services, network communication,
and safety awareness for those entrapped and endangered by complicated domestic
situations. The organization aims to do this by providing networking,
communication, and awareness to community leaders, the medical community, and
first responders. SafeWall will facilitate interagency connections to help
address various situations of trauma and endangerment and will host trainings
and provide educational material to agencies endeavoring to help aid victims of
domestic abuse, human trafficking, etc. We also will strive to encourage
community development to help areas of high volatility and abuse be aware of
the risks within their community and evaluate solutions where needed.
