Free Prevention Workshops for Sampson County Schools and Organizations

U Care, Inc. is offering free domestic violence prevention and education workshops for schools, churches, civic groups, workplaces, and community organizations across Sampson County. These conversations are designed to be welcoming, practical, and trauma-informed, helping participants understand how to recognize concerns, support someone with care, and connect with trusted local resources.

A domestic violence education program in North Carolina can help communities build awareness without placing responsibility on survivors. Our workshops focus on respect, safety, choice, and the role each of us can play in creating more supportive spaces.

Free Workshops for Community Groups

Every community setting has an opportunity to promote healthy relationships and informed support. U Care offers workshops for students, educators, faith communities, employees, supervisors, volunteers, civic leaders, and other local groups.

We serve Clinton, Roseboro, Garland, Newton Grove, and surrounding communities throughout Sampson County. Whether your organization would benefit from a brief presentation, a staff training, or a group discussion tailored to your audience, our team can help shape a session that fits your needs.

What Participants Can Learn

Domestic violence can affect people from every background, age group, and community. Education gives people language for discussing concerns and a clearer understanding of how to respond with compassion.

Depending on the audience and format, a workshop may cover:

• Common warning signs that someone may be experiencing controlling, intimidating, or harmful behavior
• Ways to respond supportively when someone chooses to share what they are going through
• Healthy relationship skills, including communication, boundaries, respect, and consent
• How to avoid judgment, pressure, or victim-blaming when offering support
• Local domestic violence support, sexual assault services, counseling options, support groups, and advocacy resources
• How U Care’s 24/7 crisis hotline and legal advocacy services may help individuals explore their options

The goal is not to make participants responsible for solving someone else’s situation. Instead, it is to help community members recognize when compassion, privacy, and a connection to professional support may be meaningful.

Responding With Care When Someone Opens Up

When someone shares a concern about a relationship, a calm and respectful response can matter. A supportive person does not need to have all the answers. Often, the most helpful first step is listening without interrupting, expressing belief, and asking what kind of support would feel helpful.

For example, rather than telling someone what they “should” do, a caring response might be: “Thank you for trusting me. You deserve support. Would you like help connecting with someone who can talk through your options?” This approach respects the person’s autonomy while opening the door to survivor advocacy and local resources.

Workshops also discuss the importance of protecting privacy. Participants can learn how to avoid sharing someone’s experience without permission and how to refer them to confidential support when appropriate.

Building Understanding Around Healthy Relationships and Consent

Prevention education is not only about identifying harm. It is also about creating a shared understanding of what healthy relationships can look like. Respect, honest communication, mutual decision-making, personal boundaries, and consent are important in relationships of all kinds.

For schools and youth-serving organizations, these conversations can be adapted in age-appropriate ways. For workplaces, churches, and civic groups, discussions may focus on fostering a culture where people know they will be treated with dignity if they seek help or share a concern.

By talking openly and respectfully about these topics, Sampson County organizations can help reduce stigma around seeking support. No one should have to navigate a difficult experience alone.

Connecting People With Local Support

U Care is a state-recognized nonprofit organization that has served Sampson County since 1995. In addition to community education, we provide survivor-focused resources including a 24/7 crisis hotline, trauma-informed counseling, support groups, legal advocacy, and other forms of assistance for people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.

Our workshops can help participants understand what local resources are available and how to make a referral with sensitivity. We approach every conversation with the understanding that people are the experts in their own experiences and deserve choices, information, and respect.

Why Community Education Matters

Schools, churches, employers, and local organizations are often places where people build trust and connection. When leaders and staff have basic knowledge about domestic violence prevention, healthy relationships, and available resources, they may feel more prepared to respond thoughtfully if someone needs support.

Community education also creates room for prevention. It encourages conversations about respect and consent before a crisis arises, while reinforcing that help is available for anyone affected by abuse or sexual violence.

U Care believes that safer, healthier communities are built through shared learning and compassionate action. A free workshop is one practical way to begin or deepen that work within your organization.
