Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Family Man®

Led by a former domestic violence offender, our innovative, empathetic, non-judgmental flagship Lifetime Mental & Behavioral Health Management program that has literally saved lives and legacies. This one on one & peer to peer group therapy gets to the root cause of domestic violence. Our clients transform from societies’ perceived worst, to community treasures adding value to their families and communities.

Population(s) Served

This peer to peer group therapy session deals with the trauma inflicted upon women. An important message within this group is that women have the right to define themselves and their experiences in ways that have meaning for them. These are individual survivors who have experienced violence and trauma, and have the strength to begin the journey of healing or are in a position to encourage and inspire newer individuals to the group. In the end, it’s important that peer supporters recognize and support each other’s way of expressing their experiences and talking about themselves as part of the healing process.

Population(s) Served

A Home Is Not A Home Where There Is No Love

We assist individuals, couples, and families impacted by the effects of domestic violence. In Mecklenburg, 28% of all individuals who are homeless are a result of fleeing for their or their families lives from an intimate partner, or they are the perpetrator with no permanent housing solution. The danger to a victim who survives this encounter is that they, and their children, will often stay in the cycle of abuse, while putting other family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, interveners, law enforcement, and parishioners in future potential violent encounters if they do not have a healthier and safer solution following the trauma of a domestic violent encounter.

Population(s) Served

Family Mankind® & Correctional Facility PartnersTogether Helping & Healing Citizens...Not Handcuffing Them!​

This re-entry & reform transitional program is purposefully designed to respectfully inspire, encourage, and build our returning citizens (RC) with the appropriate coping skills and life strategies and techniques to help them properly deal with relationships & situations that arise in their daily lives as they transition from incarceration to post-release. We are mentally beginning the process of preparing our incarcerated residents to effectively be transformed into equitable & mentally well returning citizens.

OUR CHILDREN DESERVE A BETTER GUIDE IN LIFE FREE FROM VIOLENCE

The effects of domestic violence on our children lasts a lifetime and generations following them. Our children are internally harboring secrets such as domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, & bullying that often lead to deviant behavior, anxiety, PTSD, suicide, mass shootings, and homicide. They have been frontline witnesses and have been set-up to repeat the cycles of violence. We will develop & guide our participants by teaching coping skills and healthier life techniques. We will "BREAK" generational cycles of violence.
