WHAT WE BELIEVE:
We believe abuse is not of God and if we can help people stop the silence that debilitates individuals and allows the problem to continue, then we can help reduce the amount of Domestic Violence incidences in our homes and community.
OUR MISSION:
The Diamonds program is focused on helping men, women & youth overcome the devastating effects of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault by educating, empowering & engaging them through workshops, support groups, conferences and a host of community resources and partners.
DIAMONDS GOALS:
- Provide workshops/Conferences to educate, empower and engage individuals on Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault.
- Conduct support groups in an intimate and caring environment in which individuals can open up and share their past or present experience/s with Domestic Violence/Sexual assault to begin the healing process.
- Provide Resources/Advocacy for individuals and families needing counseling, shelter and other practical needs
