Our Community Matters (OCM) is focused on providing community education and awareness to the often-underserved African-American population. The goal is to share information to victim/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking and their children. This is accomplished through presentations, tabling, and community events.

Each race has its own unique personality and inclination (or not) towards the therapeutic and healing process. As service providers, it is our job to recognize these sensitivities, as well as any barriers we contribute that might hinder a successful outcome. The OCM program is designed to help discuss these sensitivities and barriers in a genuine and validating way. This program hopes to shine light onto statistics and conversations that are often not discussed. This program can’t thrive without community partnerships and stakeholders such as churches, businesses, schools, etc.
