Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society
The Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society, commonly referred to as the SAFE Society, is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive support services to victims of violence, including men, women, and children. Registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a charitable organization with the business number 130529951RR0001, the society operates with the mission of ending violence against women, children, youth, and families in the Shuswap region.
Services
The SAFE Society offers a wide array of services aimed at supporting those affected by domestic violence and other forms of violence:
- Emergency Services: The society provides crisis intervention, emergency shelter, danger and lethality assessments, case management, food and clothing, along with safety planning and emergency cell phones.
- Legal and Financial Assistance: It assists with orders of protection, offers court/legal lay assistance, provides attorney referrals for protection orders, criminal cases, and family court, and supports court accompaniment/advocacy.

Programs
The organization is known for its Transition House (a women's shelter) and implements programs such as the Stopping the Violence Program, Community-Based Victim Services, PEACE Program for Children & Youth, Outreach Services, and Police-Based Victim Services. These programs are designed to address the diverse needs of those affected by violence and aim to prevent future incidents through community engagement and awareness campaigns.
Funding and Operations
The SAFE Society receives core funding from government sources but relies on annual fundraising efforts to maintain and expand its services. Despite this, the organization operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ensuring consistent support for those in need.
Through its comprehensive approach, the Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society plays a critical role in addressing domestic violence and promoting safety and healing for individuals and families in the Shuswap area.

We are so grateful for the support of community, The Mall At Piccadilly, Shuswap Community Events, and all the businesses, mall merchants and community members who came together to make the Back to School Neighbourhood Party such a success. Proceeds from the silent auction support the SAFE Society Transition House and totaled an amazing $1,893.05! In addition, a $200 donation was made to the SAFE Society by the Shuswap Makerspace from Repair Cafe proceeds and donated backpacks and school supplies, valued at $850.00, were shared between the SAFE Society and Shuswap Children's Association to distribute to families in need. With the help of our community, we are working to realize our mission of “ending violence in the Shuswap.” (fb)
