“The mission of Albion Fellows Bacon Center is to eliminate domestic and sexual violence in our communities through advocacy, education, support services and collaborative partnerships.”

When we speak about domestic violence and sexual assault, the truth of the matter is… it does not care if you are black or white, rich or poor, young or old.

When domestic violence and sexual assault rears its ugly head it does not discriminate.

Every person that has experienced domestic violence or sexual assault is a mother/father, sister/ brother, neighbor, or co-worker. These people are in every area of our everyday lives.

We serve 11 counties including Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Dubois, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Orange, Pike, and Harrison.

All of our services are confidential and free of charge.

If you have used any of Albion’s services, we would love to hear from you! Click here for a short survey.

Trauma Informed Care Workshop- Although we work each day with clients who have experienced trauma, this workshop was a great reminder on what trauma victims go through. This information is good for anyone who works with the homeless population or if you are a friend or family member of a homeless person. If you would like to read this article click here.

January is Stalking Awareness Month!

Did you know?
1 in 12 women and 1 in 45 men will be stalked in their lifetime.

When most people think of stalking there are a few common misconceptions that come to mind: Celebrities are the only people that are stalked; you can’t be stalked by someone you are dating; if you ignore or confront the stalker, they will go away; stalking is creepy and annoying, but it is not dangerous. Unfortunately, all those statements are false.

February 2-6, 2010 is
National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Week!

Teens and parents, beware. Teen dating violence IS happening in our community.

Could your teen be in or have a friend who is in a violent relationship? While speaking with teens during our dating violence presentation, often I ask students, “How many of you have ever discussed dating violence with your parents?” Usually, I get one maybe two students raise their hands. According to Liz Claiborne, less than twenty-five percent of parents have discussed this devastating issue with their teen. Parents often discuss with their teens about issues such as drugs and sex, but not about something that 1 in 3 teens will become a victim of, dating violence.
