In the year 2000, Trish Steele the founder of Women Crowned In Glory, Inc.started the “Stepping Stones To A New Life’ program under the Safe Passage division. She drew upon her own past experience with domestic violence, overcoming all forms of abuse, hearing loss, and hopelessness with the help of many experts who gave their time and services to rebuild her life and break the cycle of abuse. The Safe Passage program has a 95% proven track record of helping survivors of domestic violence find their way to a stable job, new home, and a healthy family. More than 1500 women and children have come to Safe Passage for support, as our offices receives approximately 60 calls per month from survivors. Every call get resources to a safe shelter or any emergency need. Mission Statement: Safe Passage is compassionately transforming the lives of abused women and their children by providing hope, opportunity and empowerment. Our Vision: Our vision is to break the cycle of domestic violence by duplicating the Safe Passage program throughout the country. This will be accomplished by introducing the program to different cities and educating them on how they can utilize the community's resources to help transform the lives of their women and children. Safe Passage's goal is to fund its own Wellness Center for abused women and their children so that it can continue to effectively transform these clients into independent and healthy citizens within our communities.
