Very disappointed in SafeHouse Center in Ann Arbor...

Very disappointed in SafeHouse Center in Ann Arbor, Mi once again. I do have to say that when I was going through my divorce, they helped me incredibly, especially the support group, and the legal advocate program. However, because of my disabilities, I was unable to stay there long-term and had to stay at the Red Roof Inn - they do not accommodate people with disabilities well. Last year, I tried to volunteer with them and found that they do not work well with disabled volunteers, either. I made some suggestions, but they were not open to them. Finally, assuming I might move that winter, I let it go. I applied once again this year and after discussing with them options again that would accommodate my disabilities, they turned me down with regrets that they were unable to work around my disabilities. Now...I don't have extreme disabilities, it's not hard to accommodate me...and I made suggestions, I was even going to donate accessible hardware to them. But alas, they do not embrace able-ism, which is a shame. Being turned down as a volunteer because I have a few minor special needs? Not cool for a non-profit organization. I am an intelligent, compassionate, loving, experienced, valuable person...they are missing out big time. I'm very sad that I cannot reach out to the people that could use my help due to a few minor disability issues.

They do not accept donated used baby clothes and gear. They only accept new items per health code regulations. I find that very ridiculous. I didn't want good quality items to be re-sold but they told me to go to a thrift store to get rid of the items. Sad

I wanted to get some information and I cannot talk openly on the phone for Im sure obvious reasons. I asked about an email or an online chatting support person? That would be helpful because I coukld really use the help with the situation I am in.

About SafeHouse Center

SafeHouse Center: Building Communities Free of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

SafeHouse Center is a non-profit organization that has been working tirelessly to build communities free of domestic violence and sexual assault for over 40 years. The center provides comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, including emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, support groups, and community education.

Domestic violence and sexual assault are pervasive issues that affect millions of people worldwide. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one in three women and one in four men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime. Additionally, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) reports that every 73 seconds someone in the United States is sexually assaulted.

The impact of domestic violence and sexual assault on individuals can be devastating. Survivors often experience physical injuries as well as emotional trauma such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal thoughts. These experiences can also have long-lasting effects on survivors' relationships with family members, friends, coworkers or employers.

SafeHouse Center recognizes the importance of providing a safe haven for survivors who need help escaping abusive situations. The center's emergency shelter provides a secure environment where survivors can receive immediate assistance from trained staff members who understand their needs.

In addition to emergency shelter services SafeHouse Center offers counseling services for both adults and children who have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault. Counseling sessions are conducted by licensed therapists who specialize in trauma-informed care techniques designed to help clients heal from their experiences.

Legal advocacy is another critical service provided by SafeHouse Center which helps clients navigate complex legal systems related to restraining orders or custody battles with abusive partners or family members.

Support groups are also available at SafeHouse Center where survivors can connect with others who have had similar experiences while receiving emotional support from trained facilitators.

Community education is another important aspect of Safe House's mission which aims at raising awareness about domestic violence prevention strategies among community members through workshops presentations seminars etcetera

Overall Safe House Centre has been instrumental in helping thousands of individuals escape abusive situations while providing them with essential resources needed for healing recovery empowerment self-sufficiency safety security dignity respect hope love compassion empathy kindness understanding acceptance forgiveness courage strength resilience perseverance determination faith trust honesty integrity transparency accountability responsibility leadership teamwork collaboration innovation creativity excellence professionalism dedication commitment passion vision purpose mission values ethics morals principles justice equality fairness human rights social responsibility environmental sustainability global citizenship etcetera
