All of DCRC’s services are free, confidential, and available in English and Spanish.

DCRC is here to help, and we do this by offering a place that is safe and secure—free from abuse. DCRC is a place where victims of domestic, sexual and family violence and human trafficking can find a safe haven, and with guidance and support, they can find their voice and the strength to rebuild their lives.

As August begins, many children and adults are transitioning back to their regular routines after a summer of family gatherings. For some, this season brings joy—but for others, it can intensify already difficult or violent home situations. The shift back to school can escalate tension, stress, and risk for families facing domestic violence.
Increased pressure from changing schedules, strained family dynamics, and unresolved trauma can make this time of year especially dangerous for survivors.

That’s why community support is critical right now. Your involvement helps ensure families in crisis have access to the resources they need to stay safe, stable, and supported.

At Durham Crisis Response Center, we are committed to providing:
A 24-hour free and confidential help line
Emergency shelter
Counseling and support groups
Safety planning and advocacy

If you are feeling helpless, know that we are here to help.
If you are feeling helpful, please help us support survivors during this back to school time by making a donation today.

Your generosity ensures that no one in our community has to face violence or fear alone.

Domestic violence and sexual assault programs are in crisis. Federal funding that ensures survivors can access lifesaving services after experiencing violence is at risk of being slashed.

Congress must act — lives depend on it.

📢 Call your Senators and Representatives today and urge them to support, increase and protect our funding!
