"But now Congress is proposing a 40% cut -- endangering millions of victims and survivors of violence. It's time to speak up and champion VOCA. Every cut to #VOCA resonates through our communities, disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable among us, especially communities of color, rural areas, and low-income communities. Join the movement, reach out to your Member of Congress, and ask them to stand up for VOCA. #Crisis4Victims" ~New Hope, Inc., Attleboro
"The group meets on the first Thursday of every month at 7PM in the St John’s church hall. St. John’s Episcopal Church on Pleasant Street in Franklin, MA started a support group at the beginning of 2023 for the parents or guardians of children (of any age) facing social, emotional or behavioral challenges of any type. The loosely structured format allows for conversation and dialogue around issues we all face on a regular basis. All faiths are welcome... to participate. There is no fee to participate. You are welcome to share as much or as little about your child as you would like. Meetings are led by participants (not clinicians). The goal is to provide each other with support, guidance (where possible), or simply a listening ear at a particularly challenging time. Any questions can be sent to admin@stjohnsfranklinma.org." ~Community Center of North Attleboro
