Evidence of Impact

Our global implementation is supported by a growing body of evidence demonstrating improved outcomes for families experiencing domestic violence. Independent evaluations in multiple countries have shown that the Safe & Together Model leads to:

  • Increased practitioner competency in domestic violence cases

  • Improved identification of patterns of coercive control

  • More effective partnerships with adult survivors

  • Enhanced ability to engage with people who use violence and control

  • Better outcomes for children impacted by domestic violence
