Serene Harbor has partnered with local schools, businesses, law enforcement, and everyday citizens who share our mission.
Our Outreach Program is one of our most valuable services, supporting survivors at every step of their journey, whether or not they require shelter. This includes the same services listed above, apart from the shelter. These services can be utilized by those transitioning out of the shelter and those still residing in their current situation.
Survivors are considered forever-family members at Serene Harbor and have indefinite access to our outreach services.
The Injunction for Protection Project (I.F.P.) at Serene Harbor employs a Florida Bar-licensed attorney who provides free legal advice and/or representation to survivors of domestic, dating, and sexual violence and stalking. I.F.P. legal representation depends on the survivor's eligibility. Upon receipt of the referral, an initial conflict check will be completed to ensure no legal conflicts of interest before proceeding to the in-take interview stage.
