New Bern Based Community Coalition Against Family Violence Becomes "Promise Place"
New Bern's child abuse and family advocacy center which began its journey almost 30 years ago is starting the New Year with a new facility name that excudes hope. The agency feels that it could better serve its clients by presenting an image of hope rather than the negative connotation associated with "famiy violence." Sheri Rettew, Executive Director, is very familiar with how the agency is perceived in the community. "We exist to help people on their road to healing and recovery from abuse or violence. Promise Place conveys more of what we do and where we are...we are where hope and healing begin," said Rettew. Promise Place is working with CACNC to bring a children's advocacy center to the Craven and Pamlico county area.
