Founded in 2002, the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation helps children impacted by violence and trauma in their homes, schools, and communities. By providing resources and support, our young people are able to cope with their trauma and find hope and healing for their futures.

Our model is unique because it’s holistic. At our school locations, we establish a safe room – known as Margaret’s Place, named after Joe Torre’s mother. These rooms are staffed by a full-time, master’s-level therapist. In this setting, we:
•	Have group and individual counseling for young people experiencing trauma.
•	Hold workshops for teachers to build a safer school environment.
•	Hold workshops for parents to make homes and communities stronger.
•	Raise awareness on how to prevent violence of all kinds.
•	Empower young people to become advocates and leaders. 

Our areas of focus include family violence, sexual assault, child abuse, intimate partner violence, bullying, and community violence. Our programs are currently in New York City and Westchester County, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Cincinnati, OH; and Union City, NJ.

Since our founding, we have provided support to more than 85,000 children nationwide. 95% of our counseling participants said they are more hopeful about their future and 91% say they are more confident and have better self-esteem.
