Domestic Violence is the emotional intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault and/ or other abusive behaviors. This is a pattern of power and control. Domestic Violence does not discriminate. It affects individuals regardless of age, economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion or nationality.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Speaker: Missionary Wendy Treadwell
Domestic Violence aka Intimate Partner Violence is the intentional physical, emotional, and sexual abusive pattern of behavior of power and control. Ms. Treadwell shared her personal story as a survivor. But one night 15 years ago, she was awaken by the voice of God with clear instruction. It was at that moment, she made the decision to "Rename her Story" to live and not die. Today was Inspiring and Empowering to women and men.

2nd Annual "It’s A Wonderful Christmas” Community Event hosted by I Care CDC for Children of Incarcerated Parent(s).

Brunch sponsored by Gritz Cafe
We recognize that millions of children are suffering the consequences of their parents’ sentences. In 2011, approximately 59,000 of Nevada children have experience parental incarceration. Whether it’s jail for several nights or years in prison, the children feel the absence of that adult even if they weren’t living in the same home. Having an incarcerated parent may cause depression, anxiety and other mental illness, as well as an added financial burden on the other parent and/or relative caregivers. At I Care CDC, we see with our heart!
