SafePlace is a wonderful organization that is determined to eradicate violence in any form from our everyday lives. Violence is a very hard thing to deal with, even in everyday conversation. You cannot speak of these things to just anyone because they will try to minimize it in an effort to help you get past it and to keep their own hearts from breaking or dealing with similar issues. The intensions of many people are good but flawed. Education is one of the best forms of eradicating ignorance and SafePlace uses education to eradicate violence. Some of the counselors have been there for 20 years and know the patterns that exists in this kind of lifestyle. They are well equipped not only with recognizing these patterns but changing these patterns of thought.
Some of their services include a 24 hour hotline, a place for battered persons and their children to stay, individual and group counseling, classes on protecting yourself and much, much more.
If you know of anyone that may be able to use these services, I urge you to let them know. If you are looking for a tax write off, you can't go wrong here. Please click on the first word of this post for more information on this wonderful organization.
What a wonderful goal to elevate our society to a level of peace in our personal relationships. Only then can we start looking for peace globally.

Excellent public service post, GSM. Having been the victim of an abusive husband for 15 years before getting a divorce, I would have been fortunate to have such an organization to turn to. I am so thankful that more and more attention is being turned to this issue.
