Mission Statement
Safe & Sound's mission is to prevent child abuse and reduce its devastating impact. Our programs empower children, enable parents to be better caregivers, and create a community to protect all children.
About This Cause
Safe & Sound was created in 1998 when two long-standing organizations, the San Francisco Child Abuse Council and the TALK Line Family Support Center, formally consolidated their programs in a renovated firehouse in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. The two founding organizations have a rich history of serving San Francisco’s children and families in need. In 1973, Dr. Moses Grossman, Chief of Pediatrics at San Francisco General Hospital, created the San Francisco Child Abuse Council which was supported by an initial grant from the Rosenberg Foundation. The following year, Dr. Grossman and the Council established the TALK Line (Telephone Aid in Living with Kids), a 24-hour parental stress crisis line funded by the Junior League of San Francisco. In 1976, the TALK Line became part of the Family Service Agency of San Francisco. With the purchase of a historic, Victorian firehouse in 1987, the two services were able to come together again under one roof. We are committed to serving children and families. Empowering Children Every child should be cherished, nurtured, taught the skills and given the opportunity to grow up in a safe and healthy environment in which basic needs are met and reaching full potential is achievable. Enabling Parents to be better caregivers Parenting is hard and all families can use support. Families need a place to be safe. Support needs to be family-focused and appropriately measured to meet the identified needs of the parents/caregivers and their children. Creating a community to protect all children We foster and invest in the hope to build a better future for everyone. We believe everyone has the potential to learn, grow and change. Through advocacy and striving for equality, we can create change in the world.
