Our History

Since 1998, Safe Harbor Support Center has cared for thousands of children in the Tri-Cities, providing support when it was needed most for more than 2,000 families.

 

Safe Harbor Support Center is committed to the prevention of child abuse and neglect by providing a safe and nurturing environment for children and teens when there are no other alternatives. Safe Harbor Support Center also provides outreach, support, and training to assist families in establishing a safe and stable environment.

 

Originally a crisis nursery, our agency adapted to the needs of our community and changed our focus to trauma intervention and the prevention of child abuse and neglect through strengthening parenting skills and helping families form healthy, supportive connections to ensure their child’s needs are met. 

During the 20+ years we’ve been in business, our organization has received a variety of recognition. In 2004, we were honored to receive the State Social Work Agency of the Year award from the Washington chapter of the National Association of Social Workers.
