October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

We want to take this time to acknowledge and amplify the voices of domestic violence survivors.

Domestic violence affects all people, regardless of gender, race, religion, and socio-economic status. It is not limited to physical violence only, as it can also include economic, sexual, psychological, emotional, and verbal abuse.

The trauma induced by domestic violence can have long-lasting negative effects on survivors and their children's emotional and physical well-being, alongside the ability to build and maintain healthy relationships and children’s social and academic functioning and development.

At FCC, we are dedicated to reducing the trauma of domestic violence to ensure healthier lives for our survivors.

We provide services for all ages to support this healing.

In the past year, we have served 121 victims of domestic violence and 31 child witnesses, and in the past 3 months, we have held 148 appointments for DV victims and 34 for their children.

Let’s continue to raise awareness and build a safe space for domestic violence survivors to thrive and heal.

Thank you! Victim Compensation Board

Late Night Reflection… 🤔💭

! !

10/17/2025

This week is OCD Awareness Week! 💙

We want to take this time to spread awareness and educate on this condition. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition that involves symptoms such as intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behavior (compulsions).

▶️ OCD isn’t just about “being tidy or organized,” and those who live with it don’t enjoy their compulsions.

▶️ It affects people in ways that cause significant distress and interfere with their daily lives.

▶️ OCD is a serious condition that requires professional treatment through therapy.

At FCC, we offer therapy and resources to support individuals with OCD and other mental health experiences in achieving balance and more fulfilling lives.

Thank you, OCD Foundation!
