I contacted Safe Embrace for help by filling out a form on their website. One of the advocates reached out to me by the next day. Words cannot explain how grateful I feel for everyone at Safe Embrace that has helped me and my kids. The understanding and support they gave me finally made me realize that I am strong all by myself.

I recently had the privilege of getting a tour of Safe Embrace, a truly remarkable non-profit organization dedicated to supporting women survivors of domestic violence in our community. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was overwhelmed by the warmth and compassion exuded by the staff and the incredible resources they provide. What truly sets this non-profit apart is the comprehensive range of resources available to survivors. They provide not only physical necessities like shelter and basic amenities but also a wide array of support services tailored to meet the diverse needs of survivors. The Northern Nevada community is lucky to have a non-profit like Safe Embrace!

I’ve served as a volunteer handyman for Safe Embrace for two years -- in 2017 and 2023. I continue to do so on an on-call basis. I’m very impressed with the caring and dedicated staff. I see first hand how shelter clients are so thankful for a safe place to stay. Safe Embrace, keep up the great work. Sincerely yours, Grandpa Jerry

I stayed her for 12 scary, filthy, disturbing days. They were over code when it came to capacity. The mold in the bathrooms and the bathroom floors were falling apart and some areas soft like you are going to fall through. There is a funky moldy smell in the area they store clothes, furniture etc The Kitchen cupboards oh my gawd! Items expired over 2 plus years. Freezer looked like a disturbing science project. The staff, were not professional, pumped fights between residents, have favorites who get first dibs on items donated. Anything of value that is donated was taken by staff. The food they did buy was terrible. Nor did they accommodate or try to accommodate people who did not eat meat , had health issues with diabetics or other medical issues. I personally drink water from a bottle and not from a filthy sink. It was denied , nor was I allowed to have cases delivered. Girls I met were ok, but there were those abusing and using the system. I decided to leave after 12 days. Yes my social worker helped me , yet complained about doing so. Never called to see how I was. All this place cares about is your donations that they use for themselves, they are not using it for the people who need the help. Nor should a place called Safe Embrace, make you feel in fear. I was hoping for a decent place that was safe, with resources and from there I can move on to a safe place and gain mental and behavioral health when it comes to my future and learn to avoid the past person who put me in this situation. One thing I will say their group therapy and handouts they gave us to read were very educational and I still have the handouts and read them over several times a year. Please do not donate or stay here it’s not a safe embrace and your donations of value go to the staff not the gals .

Where do I start..... Safe Embrace has saved my life. They have the most caring and compassionate staff and advocates I have ever seen. They actually do care about each and everyone of their clients. I was a lost case, before entering into this program. I was placed into my own house, within a month of being with them. I owe them so much for getting me out of a abusive situation and helping realize my worth. Never a judgement against their clients. They walk the steps with us, to make sure we succeed. If you ever find yourself in need of help, please reach out to Safe Embrace, you will not regret it. They saved my life, they can save yours also. Thank you Safe Embrace for caring!

Safe embrace has provided me a safe and stable place to get my life back together. Coming from being a victim of domestic violence is a horrific thing that can happen to a human being but then there's the turnaround where we become victorious not victims anymore safe embrace has helped me with myself worth and has gotten me through storms of life that I have would never got through by myself without them I don't know what I would do. I'm so glad that they exist and if I did have the financial capability to I would donate to this place I would but right now I'm looking for work all I can say is I really appreciate everybody and safe embrace and my gratitude goes out to everyone
