Established in March of 2003, SafeNet is a non profit organization founded by survivors of clergy sexual abuse that supports healing for all who have been victimized by the crisis. Since then we have helped hundreds of survivors, family members, friends and communities.

     While our focus is on survivors, parishes, communities and religious in the Franciscan Province of St. Barbara, we are available to all dioceses. SafeNet is not alligned with any religion or religious organization. We strive to work directly with all sides and to engage in honest dialogue. 

     We assist by advocating, listening and helping others to listen, coordinating and facilitating educational forums in safe environments, offering resources for legal and psychological counseling, and by providing financial assistance to survivors for educational purposes that further the healing process. 

     We believe that transparency is absolutely necessary and essential for healing on every level. We embrace these efforts by offering a lively and variable source of information on our website.
