Inter-agency collaboration and technical assistance
Leadership in coordinated community action

Center for Safety & Change provides both residential and non-residential services for survivors of intimate partner violence and their families, as well as targeted outreach and education programs for the larger Rockland County community. Responding to Rockland's rich cultural diversity, Center for Safety & Change works to ensure that all of our programs, policies, and procedures reflect and respect the varied needs of our clients, particularly those in immigrant and ethnic or religious populations, including Hispanic, Haitian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish communities.
