Our Mission
Restoring Hope Through Family Law Advocacy
At Believe Again Safe Haven, we are committed to supporting individuals and families impacted by systemic barriers within the family law system. We understand that navigating family court can be overwhelming, especially for those who are marginalized, underserved, or silenced. That’s why we step in — to make sure no one has to face these challenges alone.
Our mission is simple: Restoring Hope Through Family Law Advocacy. We are dedicated to providing legal advocacy, education, financial assistance, and community resources to empower those facing family court challenges. We believe that justice should never depend on income, and we work to close the justice gap by advocating for those who are too often left without a voice.
Through our work, we aim to empower individuals and families to take control of their legal journeys. We provide practical assistance, compassionate guidance, and community-driven solutions that bridge the gap between need and justice.
Our goal is to help families find stability and safety as they move through life’s most challenging transitions. We believe that by offering direct legal aid, educational resources, and financial support, we can help those in crisis rebuild their lives with hope and resilience.
Together, we are building a future where every family has the support, representation, and resources they need to thrive.

how it started
Meet the Founder
Anna Sciotti
President, Founder, & CEO
Believe Again Safe Haven
In 2024, Anna Sciotti founded Believe Again Safe Haven with a vision born from personal experience — and deep pain. Anna’s journey was shaped by witnessing her husband’s relentless fight against a broken system while losing his children, enduring years of case delays due to a lack of resources. At the same time, Anna was on the opposite side, fiercely protecting custody of her own child. Being directly impacted from both sides of the spectrum, Anna felt compelled to help others navigate the legal system more effectively.
After emerging from these battles, Anna transformed her lived experience into action — creating Believe Again Safe Haven, a nonprofit organization that provides free and low-cost legal help for those who qualify. The organization also offers trauma counseling and educational courses, covering topics such as communication, navigating the legal system, self-representation, and legal procedures.
Why She Founded This Work
Anna didn’t want to be another success story that left others behind. She wanted to build a safe haven for people who feel forgotten — especially women, children, survivors of abuse, and economically disadvantaged individuals facing family law challenges like custody disputes, domestic violence, and divorce.
She believes that when people have legal protection, financial relief, and someone who truly listens, healing can begin — and so can justice.
A Leader with Lived Experience
Anna is not a lawyer. She is a fighter, a mother, an advocate, and a survivor. Her strength doesn’t come from books — it comes from walking through the fire and coming out determined to light the way for others. Today, Anna leads Believe Again Safe Haven with empathy, resilience, and an unwavering belief that justice must be accessible to all — not just the few who can afford it.

“I know what it’s like to walk into a courtroom with nothing but fear and truth. I know what it’s like to be unheard, unsupported, and unseen by a system that’s supposed to protect families. That’s why I built this organization — because no one should have to face that alone.”
