Why This Group Matters
Gun violence doesn't just leave physical scars—it creates emotional wounds that often go untreated, especially for Black men. Safe House is here to change that narrative by offering a culturally informed space where healing is not only possible—it’s prioritized.
This is more than therapy. It’s a space to be seen, heard, and held in community.
