Originally opened as Region IV Council on Domestic Violence, an
emergency Shelter for victims of domestic violence in 1979 (located
in Fergus Falls) Beginning in 1990, began to open Advocacy offices
to provide crime victim services locally. Advocacy Offices are now
open in Big Stone, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail (2 locations), Pope,
Stevens, Traverse, Wadena and Wilkin Counties Beginning in 1993, we
began to open Parenting Time Centers to assist children and
families. PTCs are located in Fergus Falls, Glenwood, Morris,
Ortonville, and Perham In 2003, we changed our name to Someplace
Safe to better reflect our expanding programming and services. June

operation of the Someplace Safe Shelter and implemented the
