About

Violence awareness

Financial abuse is one of the most common forms of domestic violence. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are shining a light on financial abuse through a free, educational series for service providers and community members. Join us virtually on October 15 or October 21 to learn more about the signs of financial abuse, how to support survivors, and the resources available. Register at the link in our bio or by calling 984-484-6728.

Check out these events we are hosting in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Attend one of our many restaurant fundraisers to get a bite to eat while supporting survivors, attend a workshop to learn about signs of financial and domestic abuse, and more.

October is right around the corner! 💜 This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, start the conversation by creating space for your staff, members, or community to learn more about domestic violence and how to support survivors. Compass Center is here to help you recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month by bringing a presentation to your October staff meetings, lunch-and-learns, or other group events. Email education@compassctr.org to request a presentation for your organization.

Last Sunday, local bands @hvactech.band @locally_sourced_weaponry and @phuzz_the_band took the stage at @local506 to put on a night of live music benefitting Compass Center that raised over $1,400! We are so thankful to the bands, venue, and community members for coming together to help support the work we do with survivors. Be on the lookout for more events like this one!

We welcome donations of working cell phones for people in our community experiencing relationship abuse; many use these as a lifeline to call 911 if they do not have a phone or are worried their phone could be taken or damaged by an abusive partner. If you can reset the phone and have the charger that goes with it, all the better! Give us a call at 919-968-4610 or email communications@compassctr.org to arrange drop-off at our office in Chapel Hill.

We're hiring! Read more about our open positions and how to apply on our website - https://www.compassctr.org/employment-and-internships
