Margaret's Place

About

Founded in 2002 by Ali and Joe Torre, Safe At Home promotes children’s safety, well-being, and hope for their future by providing healing services and education to end the cycle of violence and save lives.

 

Foundation

Safe At Home provides healing services to youth who have been traumatized by exposure to violence including domestic violence, child abuse, teen dating abuse, and sexual assault in order to empower them to live healthy lives free of violence.

 

We developed our multi-faceted school-based program, Margaret’s Place, with the understanding that protective factors can decrease or mitigate the harm associated with exposure to violence and complex trauma.  Our master’s level counselors help children to strengthen their resilience, let them know that they are not alone, and underscore that the violence is not their fault – all while providing a safe place in the school.  Margaret’s Place layered approach also raises youth consciousness about violence and its effects on individuals and communities.

 

At Margaret’s Place, we work to empower youth and help them find their voice. We also provide training and consultation to school staff, families, and communities regarding trauma and its impact.

 
The Margaret’s Place Room is a dedicated safe room in schools where students can go to talk or “hang out” in a comfortable environment that feels safe to them – a place where respect and confidentiality are the rule.
