A PLACE FOR HOPE

Capital Campaign

When a child experiences abuse, there
must be a safe place to go — a place
where they can feel secure and
supported. A place where they can
begin to hope again. For any child in
the five-County Columbia River Gorge
region, SafeSpace is that place.

Investments in the SafeSpace Capital
Campaign will help ensure SafeSpace
will always be here for child victims of
abuse, neglect and maltreatment.

Objectives

​

  • Create the first permanent Columbia Gorge location for a child advocacy center 

  • Establish the SafeSpace Hope Fund to improve and expand access to support for children who experience abuse 

  • Add space for children’s mental health providers on-site 

  • Serve as collaborative location for regional children’s programs

Impact

​

  • Increase SafeSpace case capacity from 160 to 320 per year 

  • Eliminate wait lists, improving response time for concerns of child abuse

  • Add in-house bilingual Pediatric Mental Health Provider

  • Provide outreach, planning and training center for regional child abuse response with law enforcement and child services partners

  • Add satellite location in The Dalles to enhance access to SafeSpace support
