IN THE COMMUNITY
Safe Alliance
Safe Alliance provides hope and healing for those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. Not only has Woodson been an ambassador for the multitude of services that Safe Alliance offers, she was in the Domestic Violence Video recognized nationally to bring awareness to the struggle and survivor story of a woman who utilized their services. Woodson has spoken to large groups on behalf of Safe Alliance and was asked to be one of the two survivors chosen to help plan the largest Family Justice Center in the region – The Umbrella Center – a facility where a survivor can come and share their story ONE TIME and immediately be connected to law enforcement, counseling, medical help, and services for themselves and their family. Woodson is incredibly proud of being on this board and the opportunity to offer input.
