Office on Violence Against Women to Be the Change
H.B.C.U (HEALING BY CULTURAL UNITY)
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW)
grant was funded to implement intervention and education programs for incoming students and University faculty, staff and campus safety units. Awarded for three years, the grant will focus on reducing domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and
stalking on college campuses as well as encourage adoption of comprehensive and coordinated responses to these crimes. Additionally, outreach programming, training and resources will be provided for victim safety, offender accountability and prevention.
The Counseling Center at Shaw University was awarded the Healing By Cultural Unity (HBCU) grant as part of a consortium with Bennett College and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T). Shaw University strives to make our
campus survivor centered.
You are not alone! The Shaw University Counseling Center is here to help anyone who has experienced dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking navigate service options and make informed decisions. We strive to create a community free
of violence and oppression while promoting inclusion and safety for all. We provide consultation/referral as well as support services. Our services are free and confidential. We are here for you.
