The SAFE Alliance is a Central Texas nonprofit organization working to stop abuse for everyone. SAFE supports children, adults, and families who have experienced abuse by providing safety, stability, and healing. To more effectively put an end to child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and sex trafficking, SAFE provides shelter, counseling, legal assistance, sexual assault forensic exams, a charter school, and more. 

In addition to direct services, SAFE works to prevent violence before it occurs through parenting assistance and education, programs that promote healthy teen relationships, and working with communities disproportionately affected by abuse. Violence and abuse are a cycle, often transferred across generations. We work to break that cycle. 

As part of the SAFE Alliance, the SAFE INSTITUTE provides workplace training and consulting for companies to prevent sexual harassment and create safe, respectful work environments. 

SAFE is a merger of SafePlace and the Austin's Children's Shelter and has over 45 years of experience in the field of violence prevention and response. Learn more about our merger at safeaustin.org/merger

With an annual budget of more than $20 million, more than 350 employees and thousands of volunteers, SAFE now has prevention and crisis programs operating across multiple campuses and in the schools, hospitals, courts, county and District Attorney’s offices.
