We envision a future where violence and abuse are not tolerated in the communities we serve.
We proudly provide education, violence prevention services and crisis intervention to community members who have experienced family violence, dating violence, sexual assault and child abuse.

We Must be Anti-Racist
HCWC stands in solidarity with people of color to hold accountable systems and individuals who continue to use violence and abuse to value some lives over others. We have long recognized that domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and racism are intricately linked.
Speak Your Truth. Break the Silence.
We are offering a place for the community to anonymously submit their works for us to share with our supporters. Your story, poetry, art, or advice to your younger self could make a huge difference in the life of someone experiencing abuse, and could even be the motivation they need to reach out for help or to process the emotions they feel from the abuse.
Stop the Hurt
A project of HCWC, Stop the Hurt is our educational website dedicated to giving resources to parents and teens on helping victims of dating violence. We created it with the intent of being an online advocate for those who want to help the ones they love and don’t know where to start. Visit the Site!
