Hope. Healing. Community. Strength.
Athena Protection Foundation walks beside crime survivors, their families, and first responders—helping our community heal, grow, and thrive together.
Metro Detroit: Wayne, Oakland & Macomb Counties
We Protect
Victim Advocacy and essential support when you need it most.
We Educate
Safety education for youth, families, and our community.
We Heal
Healing programs and resources that restore hope.
We Serve
Supporting survivors, families, and first responders—together.
We Complete the Cycle.
One traumatic incident ripples across three groups—survivors, families, and first responders. APF is one of the few organizations that intentionally serves all three in the same space.
Our mission is to mitigate crime through education and ensure crime victims and their families can access every available resource in their time of need.
Programs That Protect. Educate. Heal. Serve.
Victim Advocacy
Compassionate support including burial assistance, emergency stabilization, transportation, court accompaniment, PPO support, clinical-care coordination, and a law-enforcement liaison model (being developed).
Community Safety Education

Healing Hearts Initiative
A program that brings our community together for healing, connection, and renewed hope. (A program, not an event.)
