Project SAFE Network

The Project SAFE (Safety and Accessibility for Everyone) Network is a multi-disciplinary collaboration of professionals working together to end domestic and sexual violence against individuals with disabilities. It works to improve the capacity of professionals throughout Kentucky to provide safe, accessible and comprehensive person-centered services to individuals with disabilities who have been subjected to sexual assault or domestic violence. In an effort to narrow this gap, the Project SAFE Network works with state-level technical assistance providers to raise awareness, improve accessibility, and train service providers and criminal justice professionals about sexual assault and domestic violence against individuals with disabilities.

Project SAFE Steering Team

In 2008, the Project SAFE Network received funding under a cooperative agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, to refine our efforts to promote safety and respect for individuals with disabilities who have been subjected to sexual assault and/or domestic violence. Efforts to ensure the safety and respect for individuals with disabilities under the cooperative agreement are being done so under the name “Project SAFE Steering Team.” Read more about the Project SAFE Steering Team Collaboration Charter.
