You’re Not Alone on the Cape & Islands
April 23, 2024
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This month is a rallying cry across the state and nation to urge our community to come together to make a difference. To increase access to services for anyone who may need them, it is critical to raise the visibility of the services available to our community.
At Children’s Cove, we are among the hundreds of professionals serving the most vulnerable in our community. We partner often with Independence House, a Safe Place Nantucket and CONNECT to End Violence as the sexual and domestic violence agencies who support and serve Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard. We know that sexual abuse, domestic violence, and sexual exploitation impacts people of all ages, genders, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
We believe we can create communities where everyone lives free from abuse, has a voice that is heard, and can enjoy healthy, safe, and empowered lives. And we need your help to do it.”
If you are, or know of a victim of abuse and don’t know where to turn, there is community support available. You are not alone. No matter what has happened, no matter what someone has said, no matter your fears: you are not alone. You have not done anything wrong, and you are not in trouble. Ask for help. There is an entire community that will believe you.
