National Stalking Awareness Month
January is National Stalking Awareness Month, a time to focus on a dangerous crime that affects 3.4 million victims in one year. This year's theme, "Stalking: Know It. Name It. Stop It.," summons the nation to fight stalking by learning more about it. Stalking can happen to anyone, not just celebrities. And it's a crime in all 50 states. Stalkers are hard to stop, and they may hurt or even kill their victims. The more you know about stalking, the more you can do to stop it.
Join us in recognizing the impact of this form of sexual violence by checking out the resources available through the Stalking Resource Center of the National Center for Victims of Crime. For more information, call or visit http://www.stalkingawarenessmonth.org.
General Meeting Announcement Jan. 26th
A special General Meeting will be held at 7:00pm on January 26th at the Chapel Hill Offices for the purpose of filling the office of Treasurer. We appreciate the service of Walter Cason who has fulfilled his term as Treasurer and Board Member. The Board of Directors has nominated Cathy Canzanella for the office. The sole item of business for the meeting will be the filling of the Treasurer position. Cathy became a Board Member at the September Annual General Meeting with the purpose of becoming Treasurer after a few month of transition with the Finance Committee. All members are welcome to attend the meeting. If you have questions please contact Hannah Adams at Hannah@ocrcc.org.
We are now offering therapy in Spanish!
The Center will begin offering short-term, individual therapy for Spanish-speaking survivors, their family and friends. Short-term therapy will begin with an initial appointment with a trained therapist to discuss options. Please contact Becca Edwards at becca@ocrcc.org or 919-968-4647 for further information.
We are striving to provide accessible, culturally competent, age-appropriate and empowerment-based services to the community.
Note: We use the "@" symbol to avoid using masculine terms in a generic form when referring to our clients. Instead of saying "Latinos" to mean Latinos and Latinas, we use Latin@s.
