The S. A.F.E. Project
Creative Health Services, Inc. in assciation with the Montgomery County Women's Center, Pottstown Police Department, Montgomery County Probation Department and Open Line is offering a specialized men's group program with the mutual goals of ending violent behavior and ensuring safety for women and children.
This group based program intends to reduce domestic violence and keep women safer by changing men's abusive behavior through group process and education. Participants are referred to the program from the courts, probation, parole officers and others.
Fees: A fee is required prior to services beginning. A weekly fee for the 26 week program is collected each week.
Support services for female partners are available at the Montgomery County Women's Center-Pottstown branch.

- Coping with their feelings from past trauma
