The safe foundation was founded in 2002 by Alice & Joe Torre in response to the impact that domestic violence had on Joe Torre and his family.Now in it's second decade of educating students that are most profoundly affected by domestic violence, Safe At Home helps thousands of young people every year.Named in honor of Joe's mother, the Margaret's Place program provides a " safe room" in schools staffed by a full-time, master's-level counselor who provides both individual and group counseling sessions. Additionally, schoolwide anti-violence

campaigns and educational forums for school employees and parents enhance the program's curriculum. Margaret's Place reaches more than 12,000 middle and high school students annually in metropolitan New York and Los Angeles.
