Safe Haven Ministries

Best fun today!!! Thank you @safehavengr for a dynamic evening of talking with young leaders about entrepreneurship as an avenue for activism and self expression! #YLAV

Why is intimate partner violence (IPV) a young person’s issue? Because research indicates that IPV is most prevalent in adolescence and young adulthood. #DVAM2020 buff.ly/37cAC4r

Grateful I could feature this installation as part of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth.

Hear from our Dir of Prevention & Education as she talks about the domestic homicide memorial on the Blue Bridge and the importance of remembering the individuals impacted by domestic violence #GrandRapids #DVAM2020

The Blue Bridge will be lit purple this week to honor those lost to domestic violence. How the event is putting names to statistics for #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth coming up at 6 p.m. on @WOODTV.

Moderated/hosted by @ShannonCohenInc, Keynote @CityGrandRapids 3rd Ward Commissioner Senita Lenear & Panelists Shahad Alzaidan (Woosah), Janay Brown of @public_thread, @shylelyons of Merchant and Makers, Aleka Thrash of Naturally ACT & Tarra Davis of @DaddyPetesBBQ #GrandRapids

Our Young Leaders Against Violence members are excited to be hosting this upcoming Empowerment through Female Leadership event. It’s centered around a panelist of local #GirlBoss(es) & their journeys of entrepreneurship and their encouragement to youth to follow their dreams!

We are working on a pretty exciting project for our Gender Equity Reading Initiative, stay tuned in the coming weeks for the launch! #GrandRapids #GERI

So powerful, @FarahTanis1: what if the bold moves are getting us in conversation with one another and not just in conversation about each other. We must be the revolution! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us today! #BoldMoves #NSAC2020

Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of homelessness. Systemic racism also exacerbates the dangers of housing insecurity for Black, Indigenous, and other survivors of color. Watch this video about #DVhousing here: bit.ly/DVhousing-raci… #DV

We have already heard from some that there is confusion as to whether or not Safe Haven or the @ywcawcmi are still offering services and do they have capacity to take on new clients. The answer is yes! While services might look a little different, we are still available 24/7.

We are getting ready to help facilitate a discussion around COVID-19 and the impact on domestic violence victims across Kent County. While the Zoom meeting is at capacity, please send us questions or challenges you are seeing when trying to connects folks to resources. #COVID19
