Center for Safety & Change, Inc. formerly Rockland Family Shelter is a non-profit, grassroots organization, serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and other crimes. Our mission is to offer services and support that promote safety for survivors, while challenging and changing the social systems that tolerate and perpetuate violence and oppression against women and others who are oppressed. Through direct services, education, advocacy and coordinated community action, we work to create a community where individuals can live with dignity and equality, free from abuse.

In a society where gender-based violence is an historically-rooted and pervasive reality, we are committed to offering services that are relevant and respectful to the diverse communities we serve.

All programs are multilingual and culturally sensitive for individuals and families both heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ). If you need assistance to ensure our services meet your needs, please contact us.
