SOUTH PARIS — Safe Voices opened its new South Paris office with a reception and ribbon cutting on April 19.

The new office is part of Safe Voices’ expanded and enhanced services to the southern Oxford County area, which has been made possible with funding from the federal Office on Violence Against Women, and support from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, United Way, private foundations, corporate partners and individual donors.

Founded in 1977, Safe Voices is the domestic violence resource center serving Oxford, Androscoggin and Franklin counties. Each year, Safe Voices provides advocacy and support to more than 300 individuals throughout Oxford County, and provides prevention education programming to more than 3,000 local youth and adults.

Services include criminal and civil court advocacy, emergency shelter and housing services, support groups, community education and prevention programs, volunteer opportunities, and a batterer’s intervention program for perpetrators of violence.
