The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation helps young people heal from trauma, including domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, relationship abuse, and community violence through its comprehensive youth programming. Its signature program, Margaret's Place, is a school-based violence intervention and prevention program designed to help students, faculty, and families address violence in school, at home and in the community.
