Domestic Violence and Crime Victims Services
Does your partner:
- Hit, slap, kick, shove, or bite you?
- Strangle or “choke” you?
- Threaten to hurt you or your children?
- Prevent you from seeing friends/family?
- Make you feel bad about yourself?
- Call you derogatory racial or sexual names?

Safe Harbour Program
Montgomery County Safe Harbour Program implements a system-level approach within existing child welfare and allied youth-serving systems, including Runaway-Homeless Youth programs (RHY), Probation, Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS), Youth Bureaus, and other critical partners. This approach leverages existing system strengths to create a more effective and efficient response to youth who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation or trafficking, or who are vulnerable to it.
