Transforming systems. Protecting families.
The Safe & Together Institute empowers professionals across all child welfare sectors to transform their approach to domestic abuse cases through a child-centered, survivor-strengths framework called the Safe & Together Model™. Our evidence-based domestic violence training provides a common language and practical tools that help you make more informed decisions, collaborate more effectively across agencies, save valuable time, and ultimately keep children safe and together with their protective parents and out of institutions.
Join our global community of domestic abuse–informed practitioners who are breaking down silos and changing the narrative around domestic violence intervention when children are involved.
The Safe & Together Model™ is an international, perpetrator pattern–based framework for transforming how systems and practitioners respond to domestic abuse and child maltreatment. It applies a child-centered, strengths-based, and systems-informed approach that shifts the focus from blaming protective caregivers to holding perpetrators accountable as parents.
