There's no single picture of what a survivor looks like.

Domestic violence doesn't depend on who someone is or where they come from. It touches families across Sampson County, including Clinton, Roseboro, Garland, Newton Grove, and the communities in between.

When we think of abuse as something that only happens to other people, it becomes easier for survivors to stay quiet and harder for those around them to notice what's going on.

That's why U Care's services are free and open to anyone in need, no matter their gender, age, or background. Our 24/7 toll-free hotline is always open at 888-229-3320.

When someone shares that they are experiencing abuse, you do not need to have all the answers.

Start by listening without judgment. Believe them. Let them know it is not their fault, and avoid pressuring them to make decisions before they are ready.

You can gently ask, “What kind of support would feel helpful right now?” Respecting their choices can help them feel heard and supported.

Our team at U Care is here for survivors and families in Sampson County. For confidential support, call our 24/7 crisis hotline at (910) 596-0931.

Your care, patience, and willingness to listen can make a meaningful difference.

Have you ever heard of a safety plan? It's a personalized plan that helps someone think through ways to stay safer before, during, or after an abusive situation.

Every situation is different, so every plan looks a little different too. Along with the practical basics, a plan can cover staying safer online, preparing children with age-appropriate guidance, and deciding who to contact in an emergency.

U Care's advocates can help you build a plan that fits your life and your timing, at no cost and in confidence. If you're ever in immediate danger, please dial 911.

When people think of domestic violence, they often picture physical harm. Financial control is talked about far less, even though it can be just as limiting.

Without access to their own money, it can be much harder for someone to make plans, find housing, or leave an unsafe situation. That dependence is often what gives the person causing harm even more control.

Because it can happen quietly, economic abuse is easy to miss, even for the person experiencing it. If something about how money is handled in your relationship doesn't feel right, U Care is here to talk it through with you.

Call our 24/7 toll-free hotline at 888-229-3320.

Children are often more aware of what's happening at home than adults realize.

Whether they witness abuse or experience it themselves, living with that kind of stress can affect how a child feels, learns, and connects with others. Some kids may become anxious or withdrawn, while others may have trouble sleeping, focusing in school, or managing their emotions.

With the right support, children can begin to feel safe again. U Care offers specialized programs for children and teens, including youth counseling, safety planning, and activities that encourage healing and growth.

Safety planning is personal. What feels safe or possible for one survivor may look very different for someone else.

If someone shares concerns about abuse, one of the most supportive things we can do is listen without judgment. Please avoid confronting the person causing harm or pressuring a survivor to make a decision before they are ready. Support, patience, and respect can make a meaningful difference.

Our team at U Care is here to talk through options confidentially, at any time. Call our 24/7 crisis hotline at (910) 596-0931.

Worried about a friend, but not sure what to say? You don't need the perfect words. What matters most is letting them know you're in their corner.

Here are a few ways to help:
▪️ Let them share at their own pace, without pushing for details
▪️ Try saying "I believe you" or "This isn't your fault"
▪️ Keep what they tell you private unless they give you permission to share
▪️ Avoid confronting the person causing harm
▪️ Respect their decisions, even if you'd choose differently

Your steady support can make it easier for them to reach out when they're ready. Have questions about how to help? Reach out to U Care at www.ucarenc.org/contact.

How many times have you heard someone say, "She should just leave"?

It's one of the most common assumptions about domestic violence, but leaving is rarely that simple. Fear, money, children, and the hope that things will change can all make it harder to walk away.

Another misconception is that abuse only touches a certain kind of household. In truth, it can affect families in any neighborhood, including our own.

Clearing up myths like these can help survivors feel less alone and more comfortable asking for help when they need it.

If you or someone you love needs support, call U Care's 24/7 toll-free hotline at 888-229-3320.

What does a healthy relationship look like day to day?

It usually feels consistent and grounding. You can share your opinions, spend time with friends, and make your own choices without worrying about how your partner will react. Disagreements still happen, but they're handled with care.

In a controlling relationship, that sense of ease starts to disappear. You might find yourself checking in constantly, explaining every decision, or changing your plans to avoid an argument.

If you've noticed that shift in your own life or a loved one's, U Care has resources that can help you make sense of what you're seeing.

Have you ever wondered why someone stays in a relationship that's hurting them?

Many abusive relationships follow a pattern. Tension slowly builds until an incident happens. Afterward, the person causing harm may apologize or make promises, leading to a stretch of calm that can feel like things are finally getting better. Over time, the cycle often starts again.

Those calmer moments can bring back hope and make the relationship harder to see clearly. That's one of the reasons leaving is usually a process rather than a single decision.

At U Care, our advocates meet survivors where they are, with support that's free and confidential. Learn more about our services at www.ucarenc.org/services.
