ABOUT YOUR SAFE HAVEN
Here for you.
Here for our community.
Bedford County’s comprehensive crime victims’ center.
Everyone deserves to live free from violence and to have support when they need it. Your Safe Haven provides free, confidential services to people affected by crime and their families in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
Serving Bedford County since 1996
Your Safe Haven, Inc. officially opened on July 1, 1996, as Bedford County’s first comprehensive crime victims’ center.
As a nonprofit organization serving Bedford County, Pennsylvania, we support people whose lives have been affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and other crimes. We recognize that violence can also affect children, family members, and loved ones—and that they deserve support, too.
What we believe
Our work began with these beliefs, which continue to guide how we support survivors, families, and our community.
Everyone deserves safety.
Every person has the right to live free from emotional, physical, and sexual violence. Violence in any form is unacceptable.
Violence affects more than one person.
Violence can traumatize survivors and their families, including children who see or hear it. Fear, a loss of security, and feelings of helplessness can affect both individuals and their loved ones.
Families deserve support, too.
Family members of crime victims have the right to receive support as they work through the effects of violence.
Communities have a responsibility to help.
We all have a role in supporting people affected by violence and challenging the attitudes, prejudices, and social norms that allow violence to continue.
Supporting our community
1,400–1,500
adults and children receive direct services from Your Safe Haven each year, approximately.
You don’t have to face this alone.
After a crime, you or your loved ones may feel afraid or less secure. These are common reactions. You deserve support, and help is available.
All services are free and confidential.
