Safe Connections. Where violence ends and healthy relationships begin.
Minimize

Please use this Safe Connections site to learn more about the dynamics of domestic violence and sexual assault...and our programs where victims become survivors. Our mission is to reduce the impact and incidence of relationship violence and sexual assault through education, crisis intervention, counseling and support services.

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, Safe Connections is a place where relationship violence and its long-term effects are addressed in complete confidence and security. Our individual counseling enables thousands of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to reclaim their lives. Our 24-hour Crisis Helpline volunteers provide resources and information to survivors, family members and concerned friends. Project H.A.R.T. offers information about healthy relationships to adolescents at schools and other sites around the region.

Our services are free, safe and confidential. Our staff members are experienced and compassionate. Since 1976, Safe Connections has created hope and healing from pain and violence. Join us in striving to make a safe, healthy community for all of us.

Mission Moments

"Whenever I tell a group of people I work at Safe Connections and what we do, without fail, at least one person will share a story about abuse or violence in his or her life. It happened again this weekend. I was chatting with a women new to the area. Immediately, her voice lowered and she said she wished there had been a Safe Connection for her when she lived in a another city and was in an abusive marriage. She now plans to explore the services we can offer to help her heal."
