VOICES Committee: VOICES of Alamance County is a group of survivors dedicated to improving and expanding community support channels for victims of violence and providing input on services currently provided by the Family Justice Center. Our goal is to share our experiences as survivors of violence, both our challenges and stories of hope, and to identify and improve the network of community resources available to victims of violence. Through the collaborative efforts of FJC and Voices, we hope to provide pathways, means, education, and encouragement to inspire individuals to begin a journey of healing and restoration for themselves and their families. VOICES of Alamance County seeks to break the silence which enables abusers and to empower survivors to take a stand, by using their voice. Click here to access the VOICES Interest Form.
