A "safe" environment usually means safety from physical harm where a "secure" environment is more emotional comfort.

IMHO, safe means that the person feels emotionally safe: the people and the environment are comfortable to the person. Secure means "locked up"...meaning nobody is getting in (or out?) easily.
