The Harbor

Our mission is to lessen the trauma to victims of sexual assault, child abuse/neglect, and other crime and their families and to improve the response of the criminal justice system by uniting the efforts of public agencies and enlisting support from the community. By providing a safe haven for these victims of crime, our goals are to advocate for their rights and specific needs and create an environment where violence is no longer tolerated.

The Harbor provides a safe haven for child victims of sexual and physical abuse or neglect where they may be interviewed by a trained interviewer in a child-friendly, non-threatening and non-institutional environment. We also work with adult survivors of domestic violence and stranger and non-stranger sexual assault. Services include a 24 hour crisis intervention hotline, accompaniment to medical exams/forensic exams, court and law enforcement agencies 24 hours a day, parenting and anger management program, dynamics of sexual assault/ awareness, character education in all elementary schools in Calhoun County, and a case management program.
