Family Abuse Awareness Ministry

We are a ministry of the Body of Christ at St. Nicholas dedicated to raising awareness of family violence and abuse in all its forms. We are committed to connecting those in need with community resources. Our vision is to put an end to the cycle of family violence.

If you or anyone you know is being abused, call 911 in an emergency. Otherwise, call our neighborhood agency, Between Friends, for help at 1-800-603-HELP, a 24-hour, toll free, multilingual, confidential human voice line for additional assistance, counseling and advocacy.
