Learn The Facts

Inform. Support. Empower.

Understanding the facts about domestic and sexual violence is the first step towards meaningful change. This page is a comprehensive resource designed to equip you with the information you need to recognize these issues and, just as importantly, to know how to be a supportive friend when someone you care about is in need. By shedding light on these critical topics, we aim to foster awareness, empathy and the skills required to make a difference in the lives of those affected by these forms of violence.

"SPARCC helped my daughter and me through a very scary time. I am still in touch with them almost daily. Wonderful organization and wonderful people who work there. If you are in danger and/or scared, please don’t hesitate to call. They can help you."
