Testimonials

“For eight years I was in a violent relationship, but I kept the violence hidden from family, friends, and coworkers.”

“When I went to the Bridges to Hope Family Justice Center of Forsyth County I met a group of people that changed my life and my children’s lives. It was a very traumatic time and they helped me pull together resources that I didn’t even know existed. Having resources and support in one location was critical for me. Just knowing I had that much support gave me the courage to finally get out of the relationship.”

“I was offered a safe place to stay.”

“They helped me file the paperwork to request a domestic violence protective order.”

“They referred me to Legal Aid, which represented me in court to obtain the protective order.”

“My children and I were referred to a Family Services therapist.”
