✨ How it’s different from FeelBetterNow.ai
SAFE is focused on protection and recovery from violence, exploitation, and abuse—offering real-world shelter, legal support, and trauma-informed crisis intervention.
Tia's Circle provides emotional wellness tools for everyday parenting challenges—like meltdowns, anxiety, and shutdowns—backed by therapists and designed for long-term resilience, not emergency intervention.
Because no one deserves to feel unsafe in their home, relationship, or body. SAFE is here when you need someone to listen and help.
