This is a much needed community service agency! It is a non-profit agency that springs into action to help our community in need of immediate or impending danger to provide interventions and resources, whether a male or female victim in crisis. The crisis line coordinates with local city and county law enforcement by multi-tasking with each other to resolve necessary and immediate help for Onslow residents in immediate danger and victims of abuse. The center provides advocates, free of charge, help guide victims during hospital stays and/or court settings to help relieve current and impending concerns raised due to abusers. The Womens Center also helps maneuver through all services that may be available to victims that are needed urgently to keep them safe. This in turn allows other county services to step in to help victims succeed by ensuring safety and security to families or individuals by providing self advocacy skills and resources to move on to be independent of their abusers. I highly recommend this wonderful service that they provide to victims. Everything discussed with staff is confidential which is a necessary requirement when in crisis. Kudos!

Rude phone operator. This is an abortion clinic.

This Center and it staff are very well versed in the Community and all issues affecting women. They offer the same customer service and hands on approach for men in need of their assistance. All calls are taken in the the strictest confidence to further assure callers identity and safety. The Center does more than offer a band-aide approach, they work in conjuration with other agencies, available resources to begin and apply healing for the victim and their family, if other family members are involved.

I truly wish I would be sitting here writing about what a great resource this establishment was to my little sister when she was in a serious almost deadly situation yesterday. I went in with her after being told by the magistrate this is where she could get help with a protective order. Upon entering the lady stated we were 20 minutes past time to receive services. At that point my sister started to cry because who wouldnt after the morning she had. Her boyfriend had already physically thrown her out with their 1 year who he also had thrown. This boyfriend had attacked her and our father(who had only tried to protect my sister).At that moment we were inside this establishment the boyfriend was across the street about to be released on bail to his Mother. Which brings to light he had charges that were automatic 48 holds yet he was being released how is that? Anyways my point is my young sister went in here because she was told she could receive help here. The lady offered to print a temp custody order packet for my sister at that point my sister went out to the car to get a paper and check on her son who was in my vehicle with my husband. I stepped out of the womans sight to watch my sister walk to the car and back since the attackers parents are just across the street. When the lady who works here thought we both walked out she stated to her co worker These crazy bi***** here.. Starts to explain to her whats happening with the holiday and it being after hours. I stepped around the corner and let her know I had heard her and how unprofessional she was and that we would not need her help. No one had yelled or gone crazy. My sister was exhausted and been to two different buildings one of which my had sister been stared down by the boyfriends Mother while the mother was outside waiting on her son she was bailing out.We have never felt so disrespected, I told my sister to get in my car from this establisment, I returned to the magistrate who gave me the conditions of release of the boyfriend then he told us to go to the Public safety office which we did and were able to start to file what we needed to protect her and our family. My sister wasnt crazy she was upset shes young and had been through horrible morning. When that lady was telling her that basically her emergency happened after hours and theres a holiday so theres no judges. I stated what happens when this kind of crime happens not in regular business hours? Because it felt like she was telling us there was no hope and this boyfriend is across the street about to be released after what he had done this morning. No one yelled or got crazy. Some really terrible things happen and my sister had been a victim of domestic violence. Shed been physicallly and verbally abused the past few days that led up to this boyfriend attacking our father( who was at the hospital at the moment getting a CTscan. Of course my sister was not in the best shape. Who is when they walk into a womens shelter seeking help. I can only imagine women who walk in with no one and nothing to support them. Luckily my sister has our entire family to help and support her. I am ashamed that the county I have lived in and called home has this place as a resource for women that would need them at one of the scariest and most helpless points in their life to turn to. I do not think calling my sister names as she was not in earshot was called for no matter what happened, she didnt yell or get crazy. She was crying and upset, confused as to what to do next because its not an easy process.There were womens names on the wall who lost their lives to domestic violence in the past. My family and I will do what it takes to make sure my sisters name does not end up on that wall. However I surely hope theres re-training done for employees/volunteers here on how to address, direct and help women in these situations because today was shocking and that wall does not need anymore names.

The workers here are just AMAZING theyve helped me in so many ways I appreciate them!!!!! 😊😄

They Collected Hippa information medicaid- medicare -social security- drivers license- and required a psych evaluation/ iRequested signature on any one Of all documents... was told it does not work that way. For those that dont know they do not understand operations under the county they are non profit organization with No Oversight, Couple days& 3 nights Were validated to remove me from my home Into a hotel and at check out I was told to find my own way. It is a fact they determined me as DV (domestic violance case and searched surrounding counties for a safe house..They did so. The result was only one Room available within A neighboring county and they deemed me not extreme enough in my circumstance. A successful partnership between countys is obviously lacking.I was directed back to at risk location.Conviction and diligence not to mention frustration finally led to the Director of the Organizations To provide me with a cab with directions and an ADDRESS THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AFTER & an apology..& STATEMENT of regret-Its my opinion that oversight is necessary though I dont believe it will Manifest as we need it

This place helped me and supported me every step of the way.

Its clear some staff just see that job as a pay check and they staff that really brings that place together receive no credit. These people promise you that you are family once you leave but then your calls dont get answered. Get all you need while youre but because after its over, its over. And the staff that you actually work with in your living area gossip, lie on you and are very very judgemental.

Thats the worst place ever the shelter is very non professional shelter management is the worst they dont care about anyone definitely need new staff the worst shelter ever they in the news trying to act ad if they treat u good the shelter will make you go back to your abuser they tell u its best

Very helpful & supportive during a difficult time in my life. Thank you, Ladies.

They do great things to help the community.

It just wasnt for me they were very help full and I just wasnt comfortable there

Great place!
