Thank you for Infant of Prague for their generous donation! So happy to be a part of this caring, supportive community! #onslowwomenscenter #loveshouldnthurt #donations
The Infant of Prague Catholic Church presented a check for $1700.00 to Onslow Women’s Center. The Executive Director, Gary Danford and Associate Director, Melissa Radomicki, extend their gratitude to all those who gave so generously on igivecatholic day. These funds will help assist women who face the challenges of domestic abuse. God Bless!!!
-Nearly 1.5 million high school students nationwide experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a single year.
-1 in 10 high school students has been purposefully hit, slapped or physically hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend.
-Only 33% of teens who were in an abusive relationship ever told anyone about the abuse.
Teen Dating Violence is something that many young people go through and it's important to be there and support them and help them through unhealthy relationships through education and prevention.
Our crisis line is open to all so please reach out if you need help at 910-347-400. #loveshouldnthurt #loveisrespect

Leaving a domestic violence relationship is one of the most dangerous times for survivors. On average it takes a person 7 tries before they fully commit to leaving an abusive partner.
Remember there are a million reasons why people stay in abusive relationships. It's important to be supportive no matter what!

With the need for stay-at-home orders, the impact of the pandemic for survivors of domestic violence has been even more dire. Onslow Women's Center provides survivors with safety planning, legal assistance, advocacy and shelter.
During #COVID19, survivors find themselves isolated with their abusive partner. With COVID19 and the Holidays right around the corner, domestic violence rates may increase. Making sure survivors know they are not alone can make all the difference.
If you or someone you know needs to speak with an advocate, please reach out to 910-347-4000 or visit www.onslowwc.org #loveshouldnthurt #onslowwomenscenter #domesticviolence
