SAVE’s Empowerment Center at SAVE was established in 2014 with tremendous support from community partners, including The Despeaux Good Works Fund at the East Bay Community Foundation and Washington Hospital Healthcare System. As a community resource, the Empowerment Center offers services and programs to individuals experiencing domestic violence. It’s a safe space to rest and regroup where survivors can get in-person crisis support, assistance with food and clothing, referrals, and help applying for restraining orders. The EC also houses SAVE’s individual, group, and family counseling services, as well as a robust Community Education program.

Every year SAVE serves thousands of individuals and families across all its programs. SAVE’s reputation is built upon not only its many years of quality service and firsts, but also its focus on recognizing the needs of those not served. SAVE is committed every day to creating strong, trusting partnerships and centering inclusiveness and cultural humility– all are welcome regardless of ethnicity, faith, gender identity, sexual orientation, language spoken, level of education, physical or developmental needs, and geographic location.

SAVE’s compassionate approach puts our clients and partners first, so they are empowered to make healthy decisions every day… right here.
