DC SAFE Annual Events

In the SPRING

Have you ever wondered how to assess the level of danger in a domestic violence situation? Join us on May 1, 2025, for a thought-provoking gathering focused on preventing domestic violence re-assaults and homicides. The event will feature a panel discussion with DC SAFE staff and experts in the field. We’ll explore the science of safety from risk to response. Learn about innovative programs at work in our community and steps you can take to support survivors.

Event Speakers:

  • Dena Hasan, Associate Principal, Health Management Associates

  • Dr. Jaquelyn Campbell, Professor & Researcher, Johns Hopkins University

  • Lindsey Appiah, Deputy Mayor, The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety & Justice

  • Melissa Hook, Former Director, The Office of Victim Services & Justice Grants

In the FALL

Every October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we hold our flagship Keep DC SAFE event. We take this time to honor our community partners and recognize one another’s achievements in the field. We come together to raise funds for DC SAFE and raise awareness about domestic violence issues in D.C. Check out this year’s photo album.
