To strive to be sensitive to the concerns and history of oppression of all clients.

ease with which dependency is created in advocate/victim service recipient
relationships.
I will be responsible for not setting up clients by encouraging their dependency
on me
I will not use derogatory, threatening, or abusive language towards clients or
advocates.
I will treat all clients and advocates in a respectful and professional manner
I will strive to equally distribute my time and attention to all clients without
favoritism.
HISTORY
Southeastern Family Violence Center was incorporated as Robeson
County Committee on Domestic Violence, INC in 1981. SFVC was founded
by a group of 5 concerned Robeson County citizens. During the early
days, services were provided mostly by volunteers. The first SFVC office
was located on 15th Street in the old Church and Community building. The
office then moved into what is now the shelter. For many years the office
and shelter were combined. In the mid-90s SFVC purchased 108 West 9th
Street for offices and kept the shelter. In 2003, the shelter underwent
extensive renovations. Today, SFVC has a paid staff of 10, an annual
operating budget of over $450,000 and growing. Southeastern Family
Violence Center has stood strong for 36 years.
MOVING FORWARD
A new project being started up for Southeastern Family Violence Center,
the rapid rehousing center.
This program helps transition people into housing by providing their housing
deposit along with three months of rent. As well as utility deposits and three
months of utility payments.
This program is still up and coming and being worked out to be implemented
to its fullest potential
