The Safe Center was created by the merger of two not-for-profits which have served Nassau County since 1977. In 2014, the Nassau County Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Coalition Against Child Abuse & Neglect merged to form The Safe Center, the leading victim-service agency in Nassau County.  Located in Bethpage, our team members respond to emergency departments, courts, hospitals and other locations as needed. 

As the only organization in Nassau County providing free comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual and physical abuse, and human trafficking The Safe Center tirelessly serves our community. Our organization provides specialized support to our clients while serving as a model for addressing interpersonal violence in New York State. Those served by our agency can access a 24-hour domestic abuse and sexual assault hotline, legal assistance, crisis intervention, emergency safe shelter, referrals, short-term housing assistance, individual and group counseling, and hospital advocacy.

We partner with survivors and families to change the trajectory of their lives following the trauma of abuse. Our team also works within our community to provide critical education to end the cycle of abuse including information on how to recognize, respond to the needs of victims, and prevent abuse. Our all-encompassing suite of programs and services is a beacon of hope for the Long Island community.
