Court Advocacy
Seeking help from law enforcement or the court system can be a hard step to take. We can accompany you when going to court and provide assistance with obtaining a domestic violence protection order. We have worked with law enforcement and the Courts on behalf of survivors of violence for over 20 years. We can help you understand the process and what your options are. Support Groups
We provide a safe space for you to share experiences and feelings with others who have similar experiences. Please contact us for more info or to sign up. Children’s Program
Often children who have experienced family violence need additional help to recover from the affects of abuse. SFVC provides support for children through one-on-one and group time. Information & Referral
We work with many groups in the community to connect with resources

Community Dialogues
We travel in our community to discuss intimate partner/family violence with any interested group. We can tailor a presentation or training to meet your group’s interests/needs. Please contact us to schedule. Displaced Homemaker Services
The New Choices Program empowers displaced homemakers by providing services that build skills and confidence to achieve economic self-sufficiency through education and employment. Financial assistance may also be available to help you pay for books, tuition, transportation, uniforms or childcare.

💜We are thankful for our community partners who have dedicated countless hours over the past two weeks to carefully prepare essential hygiene kits for those in need. Every client coming through the shelter doors will receive one of these kits. Each kit, filled with items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap, represents a beacon of hope and dignity for the individuals who will receive them, many of whom have escaped dire situations with nothing but the clothes they wear. Your efforts underscore the power of local action to change lives. Thank You! 💜 Union Chapel Holiness Methodist Church, Family, and Friends, Jamie Goins, Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Kelsey Hunt, Reedy Branch Baptist Church, Belinda Harris, Locklear, Charlene Dr - Trucare Family Practice.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. 🩵 Many abusers choose to use some form of s*xual abuse in order to hurt or control a partner, but it’s often the least discussed form of abuse — especially if a victim is made to feel embarrassed or ashamed, or if they were taught that what they’re experiencing is “normal.”

Sexual abuse can be committed with outright physical force or violence, and it can also be committed with pressure, threats, and coercion. Being able to safely and freely consent to s*x (and to anything else!) is an essential part of any healthy relationship.

Learn more about these and other examples of abuse: https://buff.ly/MVAyiGI



[Image description: Against a wavy blue background, text reads: "Examples of s*xual abuse. Physically forcing you to have s*x, or making you feel like you can’t say “no.” Forcing you to participate in demeaning or degrading s*xual acts without your consent. Forcing you to have s*x with other partners. Tampering with or refusing to use contraception. Taking or sharing intimate photos or videos of you without consent." NNEDV logo in bottom right.
