“When a good friend found themselves in a dangerous situation, Caroline and her team rushed to our aid. I was blown away by their collective expertise, vulnerability, and breadth of resources. As a team, we were able to get my friend to safety and equip her with all of the tools needed to protect her, her children, and her pets in the transition to safety.”

“As the outgoing Conference Chair, I am writing you this letter of appreciation for coming to speak at our May 2021 Conference for the Missouri Municipal and Associate Circuit Judges Association. Many of the judges were entirely unaware of the ramifications of Domestic Violence and Sex Trafficking on the victims and defendants that are in front of them on a daily basis. The Safe In Harm’s Way presentation was truly engaging and the judges were captivated throughout the entire presentation. Your presentation was one that had some of the most lively discussion from the in-person and virtual audience present. I was impressed with the way that Caroline worked with Judge Wachal, and it seemed as if the two of you had done this presentation many times before. The message and the level of knowledge that you have to offer is vital for judges and people in the legal profession but is truly timeless and if we all heed your message then we can greatly reduce violence and exploitation of women. It was truly an honor to have you present at our conference and I hope that we will have you speak in the future.”

“I've known Caroline for a year-and-a-half now, and during this time she has enriched my life and the life of my podcast! Caroline knows all-too-well what it means to be a victim turned survivor, and has turned her survivor story into her life's work of providing a healing path for others who find themselves in harm's way. Caroline is a diligent, persistent, caring advocate whose mission is "big, bold, and unapologetic," when it comes to helping to bring justice to victims and survivors of interpersonal violence. Caroline is saving lives, and it is an honor and privilege to work with her.”

“Caroline Hammond-Markel, founder and CEO of Safe In Harm’s Way, listened to our program values and training needs to craft a customized professional development opportunity that delivered a big impact! If I could summarize our experience in one word it would be life-saving. As a program director for a non-profit organization focused on holistic child/family centered Early Child Education, I knew in the moment that the training was hitting a chord with participants based upon the vulnerability demonstrated and the questions raised. I say life-changing, because on that day there were staff members who found their own voice and boldly shared their experiences, setting themselves on the path towards survival. Equally life-saving, the resources and empowerment provided equipped staff with the language and tools needed to support families and children living in volatile home environments. Caroline is a remarkable human, doing transformational work in her “after”, for which we are grateful to have experienced.”

“Caroline Markel Hammond was a highlight of our events this year. She was incredibly communicative and flexible to work with as we planned together, and her passion about educating and supporting those who combat domestic violence is clear every time we speak. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to have her speak at our event and hope for future opportunities to collaborate. Thank you, Caroline, for being such a pillar of support to our community!”

“I have had the honor to contribute to Caroline's cause by partnering to organize some cross country activities related to Violence Prevention. It is impressive the proactiveness, leadership and genuine willingness to help she has shown along the way. She is always happy to connect and provide creative ideas to reach people for the cause. I work for BSC Costa Rica leading the regional Women Network group and had the privilege to connect with her through their company contributions. We have worked now for 2 years organizing special events and campaigns around International Day for Violence Prevention. For the last event we prepare together a virtual interactive session including a special Yoga class, personal testimonies including connection with National Women Institute, tools and educational material available for the whole CR organization. I look forward to continuing to grow the relationship and change the world one step at a time!”

“Caroline Hammond was a featured speaker at the 2021 Missouri Municipal and Associate Judges Association. Ms. Hammond's knowledge and expertise in domestic violence was very well received. Ms. Hammond spearheaded a not for profit Safe In Harm’s Way to educate victims of domestic violence on navigating their way out of violent relationships safely. Safe In Harm’s Way provides a platform for victims to find out how to get orders of protection in every state in the United States.
Ms. Hammond provided valuable and enlightening information about grooming and human trafficking.”

“Caroline was recommended to me by a friend when I was attempting to escape a terribly abusive and controlling work relationship. I was in such a place of desperation and fear and Caroline coached me through how to handle myself and how to best end the relationship. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done in my life but Caroline armed me with the guidance and support I needed to not only get through it but to feel confident and empowered. She has continued to support me as I am finding my way through the aftermath. I cannot say enough good things about the gift of her knowledge and experience she so graciously shares with the world.”

“I appreciate your encouragement and support! For the website: "I am truly so thankful for the blessing that it is Caroline and Safe in Harm's way. A light amidst the dark crevices of life. You can feel so alone and lose hope when you are dealing with relentless stalking, like it will never end. Having people come alongside that have walked this road too--armed with practical and holistic solutions--it truly makes such a difference. It gives you hope for knowing there is truly hope, and not just the fuzzy kind, but real hope of light at the end of a tunnel most in society have no idea what to do with. Thank you!”

“'That’s likely why Mardene Miller, of NEON, counts The Last I’m Sorry, a campaign engineered with Safe in Harm’s Way to raise awareness around domestic violence, among Neon’s proudest recent achievements. The campaign included a series of billboards highlighting different insights for different types of relationships. Additionally, Neon team members created a “very simple” technology, per Miller, to eliminate any trace of a person visiting the campaign website in the event that an abuser is monitoring internet usage.'”
