Our mission is to save lives by supporting the journey to wellbeing and empowerment of all people exposed to relationship abuse.

Sometimes there is a cloud that comes over our lives. It shadows us and we can’t seem to find a place of warmth, safety and support. We need shelter from the torrent—help braving the storm. The Relationship Safety Alliance is the umbrella that covers you. RSA is an alliance of services joining together to help you safely through your journey. The Louise Seliski Shelter provides housing for those in emergency need. The Alex & Brandon Child Safety Center facilitates safe visitations and safe exchanges among families. Simple descriptions of life-saving endeavors. RSA safeguards those whose storm has not yet cleared. The journey is yours, but we intend to hold the umbrella for you as the skies begin to brighten.

Louise Seliski Shelter: Many people stay in a violent relationship because they feel they have nowhere to go. We are a nonprofit organization providing a safe, secure facility for those seeking a way out of their violent situation. Our intake is open 24-hours a day and provides the resources and services to advocate for survivors of all types of relationship abuse. With respect, honesty, confidentiality and accountability, we support survivors in developing their personal goals. Family pets are welcomed and the many benefits of their presence within the shelter are embraced. Pets that may be too large for our facility can be fostered until they can be reunited with their family.

Alex & Brandon Child Safety Center: The Alex & Brandon Child Safety Center provides a safe, secure, neutral, family-oriented space for supervised parenting time and safe exchange of children between parents/caregivers. For those in family crisis, this service is invaluable, and can be lifesaving. We provide a nurturing environment where families can interact in a comfortable, home-like setting. Healthy relationships between parent and child do not have age limits, and we seek to be the safe space needed to facilitate growth in these times spent together. We also provide a safe environment and resources for parents and their adult children that may be under stress because of financial reasons, as well as elder abuse.

Support and Education: Feeling alone during a time of crisis can be overwhelming, disabling and isolating. Talking with and being surrounded by people that can relate to the experiences you are enduring can be healing and empowering. The Relationship Safety Alliance offers free community support groups—led by trained facilitators. Our dedicated volunteers will provide supervision of children during these meetings. Some examples of groups we’ve facilitated are Circle of Change groups, domestic violence support groups and children’s support groups. The first step to acknowledging and ending relationship abuse is knowing what it is. The Relationship Safety Alliance is available for presentations on various topics including healthy relationships, the effects of violence on children, elder abuse and dating violence. School classrooms (elementary through college), community organizations, and professional groups are all excellent places to hold a presentation. These presentations promote advocacy that can transform our communities into healthy places where abuse is not tolerated.
