A partner in ID's multi-platform public affairs campaign, INSPIRE A DIFFERENCE, Safe Horizon is the nation's largest victims' services agency that has touched more than 250,000 children, adults and families affected by crime and abuse by providing them with key resources such as shelters, counseling and legal services.
