Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation

Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation Founded by Ali & Joe Torre in 2002 to end the cycle of domestic violence and abuse through education. These rooms are staffed by a master’s-level therapist.

By providing resources and support, our young people are able to cope with their trauma and find hope, healing, and empowerment for their futures. Our model is unique because it provides both clinical intervention and prevention services. At our school locations, we establish a safe room – known as Margaret’s Place, named after Joe Torre’s mother. In this setting, we:

-Have group and individual counseling for young people impacted by violence and abuse.
-Hold workshops for teachers to build a safer school environment.
-Hold workshops for parents to make homes and communities stronger.
-Raise awareness on how to prevent violence.
-Empower young people to become advocates and leaders.

Healthy relationships are built on respect, communication, and boundaries. 💛

During Teen Dating Vi*lence Awareness Month, we’re focusing on helping young people recognize what healthy patterns look like — because understanding them is a powerful form of prevention.

What would a space like this have meant to you in middle or high school?

Our in-school Margaret’s Place program is led by master’s-level counselors and offers students a dedicated space to step away, talk things through, and build skills to manage stress, relationships, and tough moments.

At Bellflower Middle / High School in Los Angeles County, Miss Vanessa and Peer Leaders like Amaya are helping make support feel normal. 💛

Last week, we spent three meaningful days at the Little League International Congress, connecting with dedicated Little League administrators and volunteers from around the world. 🌍⚾️

We shared support resources, talked about partnership, and reflected on what it really means to show up for young people — on and off the field. Together, we remain committed to ensuring young people are safe, protected, cared for, and given every opportunity to thrive. Wishing our Little League partners a safe and successful season ahead. 💛

Shoutout to Reagan Bills (slide 2), star pitcher from the Mid-Atlantic Team, who helped lead her team to a Little League Softball World Series win this year. 👏⚾️

We’re honored to share that Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation has been selected as a 2026–2027 grantee of the Cabrini Health Foundation.

This multi-year grant will allow us to deepen our school-based mental health capacity-building work by integrating Margaret’s Place violence intervention and prevention services for elementary students at PS 117Q in New York.

This investment strengthens how schools and educators are equipped to support students through prevention, connection, and care — helping young people build the skills they need to navigate challenges and relationships safely.

Thank you to the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation for believing in this work and investing in long-term, school-based approaches that support student well-being. 💛

February is Teen Dating Vi*lence Awareness Month. 💛This month, we’re focusing on what healthy relationships look like — not just what to avoid. That means talking about respect, communication, boundaries, and the role adults play in modeling these skills early and often.

Through our on-site school program, , these conversations happen every day — creating space for young people to learn, ask questions, and feel supported.

Follow along this month as we share tools, reminders, and ways to keep these conversations going.

Inside Santa Monica High School, our program is a steady, welcoming space where students can pause, breathe, and feel supported during the school day.

With the care and consistency of Miss Lara, this room becomes more than four walls — it’s a place for connection, reflection, and building the skills young people need to navigate hard moments and healthy relationships.💛

Black History Month offers a moment to pause and reflect on the people, stories, and contributions that have shaped our shared history.

For us, it’s also a time to reaffirm the values that guide our work — how we show up for young people, how we listen, and how we help create environments rooted in care, connection, and respect.

Those commitments remain at the heart of everything we do, this month and always. 💛

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we’re reminded that doing what’s right often starts with everyday choices — showing kindness, speaking up, or reaching out for support.

For young people, having safe, caring spaces makes those choices feel possible. It’s in moments of support and connection that confidence grows and courage begins to build — something we see every day in our on-site school programs.
