Healthy: Fall 2023

FIND SAFETY, SECURITY AND SUPPORT WITH SAFE SPACE DUBLIN What is a Safe Space? Safe Space Dublin began in December 2022

in the City of Dublin. All City buildings, including the Dublin

Justice Center and all Washington Township Fire Department stations operate as Safe Space Dublin locations. That means someone entering those buildings in a time of need can receive compassionate instructions from trained staff members, known as allies, about what steps they can take to receive support during a situation where their safety is in jeopardy. Led by the Dublin Police Department, Safe Space Dublin is designed

to promote havens of safety, security and support resources that anyone can use. This program ensures there are community-based sanctuaries where people can feel comfortable to visit should they be in personal crisis or have experienced hate crimes, threats or intimidation.
