About Safe Harbor of Tipton County
Safe Harbor of Tipton County opened in September 2021. Our new facility is located on a 20 acre campus, which was built in 1905 as Dunlap Orphanage. One of the founders of the orphanage said that they wanted to build a place to see little hands discover what God has for them. We are proud to continue that vision as an orphanage, the only difference is the hands are bigger!
We are able to house 74 men in our Safe Harbor of Tipton County Program and 18 women in our Fresh Start Program at the new property in Brighton, TN. This campus also houses our Administrative Offices. We are so excited to be able to expand to this beautiful location and continue the work that was started over 25 years ago.
We want to continue to shine the Light of Jesus into the darkness of this world to see these now bigger hands discover the freedom and life God has for them! God’s ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. It’s overwhelming to think back to every step He ordered for this moment. We give Him glory, Amen!

Safe Harbor is a Co-Occurring Disorder Capable (CODC) program.
What is CODC?
CODC programs address co-occurring mental and substance –related disorders in their policies and procedures, assessment, program content, treatment planning, and discharge planning. Even when the programs are geared primarily toward treating mental health or substance use disorders, program staff address the interaction between mental and substance use disorders, along with their effect on the individual’s readiness to change through individual and group program content. Relapse and recovery environment issues are also addressed (TDMHSAS/DSAS, 2014).

Message from our President
"At Safe Harbor, we consider it a privilege to serve the men and women in our care. These participants have come to us from living in the streets or ex-offenders that needed somewhere to go. We strive to provide them with so much more than food and shelter—we strive to make a lasting difference through group and pastoral counseling, life building classes, and finding them permanent employment which provides stability once they leave our care. Would you consider partnering with us to make a lasting impact?
We appreciate your support and pray that God will bless you as you have blessed! Together we are making a difference!" - Brad S Bowie, President

We would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Runyon Industries. Not only do they give our clients amazing opportunities for a career and a bright future, they truly care and believe in second chances.
Today they took a huge burden off of SHOTC by donating $6,000 towards furnishing our West Building with the beds needed! We were blown away, and humbled, that they wanted to help in that way. They will never know the impact their donation will mean towards so many lives, now and in years to come. We look forward to many great memories being made with the Runyon Industries family. Again, the most sincere thank you from Safe Harbor! https://www.runyonind.com |
