A Trustworthy Nonprofit That Offers Crisis Intervention in Vandalia, IL
Few times in a person's life are as lonely or as frightening as the days following a sexual assault. At SAFE, we understand that. This is why we offer crisis intervention by phone and in-person, medical and legal advocacy, and personal and emotional support to sexual assault victims and their families. Our organization provides educational resources regarding subjects such as personal safety, dating violence, sexting, and human trafficking, providing essential resources to vulnerable individuals. As a 501(c)(3) sexual abuse nonprofit, we also provide services for sexual assault victims and non-offending family members regardless of age, race, sex, or sexual orientation.

Our Founder
While doing her work as Chief Probation Officer of Fayette County, founder Doris Benefiel, saw a need for support services for victims of sexual assault and their families. After exploring possibilities, a core group of eight women from various organizations and professions visited the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault (ICASA) Office in Springfield. SAFE was incorporated in January 1986 as a nonprofit focusing on sexual crisis intervention in Vandalia, IL. Following Doris' lead, we now put our many, many years of experience to work, offering sexual assault help to victims every day. Contact us today to discuss your needs.
Mission Statement
SAFE's mission is to alleviate sexual violence and help sexual victims and their families recover and reclaim their lives. As an organization, we will work to overcome obstacles by educating society at large about the causes and consequences of sexual violence. SAFE will assist with healing by creating a support system for victims and their families consisting of medical and legal advocacy, counseling, and education.
