Community Counseling

If you're a victim of domestic violence, but you do not need a place to stay, Safe Harbor can give you the same help we offer to our resident shelter clients. Safe Harbor provides free and confidential crisis and stabilization counseling for victims of domestic violence. Community counselors are available to meet with clients for 6-10 counseling sessions. Clients receive intensive Domestic Violence Education and Safety Planning in order to help them gain the skills necessary to handle the crisis they are currently facing. Community Counseling offices are located in each of the four counties in our service area – Greenville, Anderson, Oconee and Pickens. All counseling services are free of charge. Both women and men who are victims of domestic violence can receive counseling.
