The Harbor

What began in 1976 as group of women in Clatsop County wanting to help domestic violence survivors has evolved into thriving non-profit, providing advocacy, prevention and support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. At The Harbor, we’re committed to meeting survivors where they’re at. We believe that there is no one right way to deal with trauma. We work from a trauma-informed empowerment model, which means we believe that every person has the capacity to make the best decisions for their own situation—whether that’s staying or leaving an unhealthy relationship, making a report to law enforcement or not reporting, and other decisions that are unique to each person’s situation. We are here to provide information so survivors can make their own informed decisions about what they need and want for themselves. We are here for survivors every time, without judgement, no matter what. Some of our services included a confidential emergency shelter, assistance with complete protective orders, accompaniment to sexual assault exams, support groups, culturally-responsive services for Latinx and LGBTQIA+ survivors, safety planning, relocation assistance, and more.
