Experiencing Abuse?

Call our 24/7 hotline anytime to speak to someone, 801-444-9161. We are happy to talk with those impacted by abuse – including friends and family. 

About the Outreach Center

Located at 223 Larson Ln, Layton, UT 84041, the Outreach Center is a satellite location that colocates sexual assault advocacy, legal advocacy, and domestic abuse advocacy services for adults and children in a community setting. Many people don’t realize that even if you are experiencing abuse, you do not have to come into a shelter. Most survivors never need shelter, which is one reason we opened the accessible Outreach Center. You can talk with an advocate about your experience, and we can help you problem-solve and create a safety plan for your unique situation. All our services are free and confidential (please be aware that we are mandatory reporters for child abuse). Are you wondering if what you are experiencing is abuse? Many people think that domestic violence/abuse only involves hitting, but abuse can take many forms. Our advocates can talk to you about your situation.

Call our 24/7 hotline anytime to speak with someone at 801.444.9161, or walk into our Outreach Center during business hours. We are also happy to talk with those impacted by abuse, including friends and family. These services are also free.

The Lethality Assessment Protocol (LAP) is an evidence-based assessment protocol proven to save lives, improve prosecution rates and decrease domestic violence related homicides in over 30 states. How does this work? The LAP protocol directs members of law enforcement responding to a domestic call to conduct an 11 question lethality screen with the victim. When the screen indicates a high risk of a lethal level of violence, the officer makes immediate contact with Safe Harbor, to connect the survivor to services that could increase safety and save their life.

Utah has a higher rate of domestic violence-related homicide than the national average.

In the last ten years, over 40% of homicides in Utah were domestic violence related.

This statistic represents lost mothers, daughters, children, fathers, sons, and valued family members.
