SquareOne Family Justice Center
Tell your story once.
Before SquareOne, getting help in this county meant repetition — survivors telling the hardest story of their life over and over, at one office after another. It was so burdensome that many people lost hope and went back to the situation they were trying to escape.
SquareOne puts the agencies in one building, so a survivor travels to one place. Help, Incorporated is the lead partner, and every one of our services is delivered there.
Help, Incorporated is a safe space for immigrants and refugees. We do not report anyone without legal status to authorities.

Nothing has to be decided today.
You can call the crisis line to ask a question, to think out loud, or to find out what your options are. You do not have to be ready to leave. You do not have to have proof. You do not have to give your name.
What happens when you call
No pressure, no script, no cost.
A person answers
A trained advocate, any hour of the day. Not a menu, not a queue.
You talk, we listen
You share only what you want to. You can stay anonymous.
We lay out the options
Shelter, safety planning, a protective order, counseling, or simply information to hold onto.
You choose
Whatever you decide, the line stays open. You can call back any time.
Emergency shelter
Our shelter is available for women, children, and men, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Residents have access to food, toiletries, clothing, and assistance with setting and achieving their own goals.
When a resident leaves to start a new, abuse-free life, staff can provide referrals and help with furniture, appliances, and small household items for the new home.
Before you go
Staying safe on this device
The Leave this site button at the top of every page — and the Esc key — sends this browser straight to a weather page, and does not leave this site in your Back button.
Be honest with yourself about what that does and does not do. It clears the screen fast, but it cannot erase everything. If someone else can reach your phone or computer, read this first.
If someone monitors your devices
- Use a device they cannot reach. A library computer, a friend’s phone, or a work computer is safer than one they have handled.
- Private browsing is not invisible. It hides history from the device, but not from monitoring software or the account holder on a shared phone plan.
- Clearing history helps — though on some devices a suddenly empty history is itself a signal.
- Calling is often safer than browsing. A call from a phone that is not yours leaves the least behind.
- In immediate danger, call 911.

Our standing commitment
SquareOne · Family Justice Center
Tell your story once.
A Family Justice Center co-locates community and resource agencies, so survivors of violence travel to only one place for assistance. Each one looks different — communities build theirs around the needs of their own survivors.
In rural Rockingham County, Wentworth is the seat for many of the agencies that interact with families experiencing violence, which made it the right place for SquareOne. Help, Incorporated proudly serves as the lead partner.
Before SQ1, the journey started with repetition: survivors telling their difficult stories multiple times. Receiving help often proved too burdensome, and in the process many survivors lost hope and returned to their abusive situations. Coordinating that web of services makes the process smoother for people who are already carrying enough.

The team
Everyone a survivor might need, in one building.
Also vital to SquareOne’s mission are our funders, the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners, and our town leaders. Funding came from a VOCA grant through the North Carolina Governor’s Commission, Rockingham County Government, the Reidsville Area Foundation, The Sunshine Lady Foundation, Purina, local donations, and Board fundraisers, alongside a USDA loan and an NCHF loan. The agency continues to raise funds toward those two loan balances.
Kaleidoscope Children’s Advocacy Center
A world without child abuse.
Reducing the devastating long-term effects of abuse on children, their families, and society, by providing a safe place for children to receive empathetic, comprehensive services.
A multidisciplinary system is used to meet the needs of children, families, investigators, prosecutors, and the community at once — so a child is not passed between agencies, repeating the worst thing that ever happened to them.
Help, Incorporated began preparing for a children’s advocacy center more than ten years before it opened. A task force of agencies from across the county met regularly to build the plan, because a partnership with county social service agencies is critical to making it work.
Kaleidoscope completed its first forensic interview in January 2010, and has since provided more than a thousand. Medical exams, advocacy, and therapy have been provided to hundreds of children and their families.
How do I know?
Evidence is rarely obvious.
Most children never tell. If a child does tell you something, believing them is the first thing that helps.
- Only 1 in 10 children disclose their abuse.
- Over 30% of victims never disclose to anyone.
- Almost 80% initially deny abuse or are tentative in disclosing.
- Of those who do disclose, roughly 75% disclose accidentally.
- Fabricated reports are only 1.5–4% of all reported cases.
About us
A center against violence, run by this county.
Help, Incorporated: Center Against Violence is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency providing emergency and ongoing services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking, and elder maltreatment. Services are structured to prioritize physical safety and equitable access to available resources.
Our clinical programs provide professional emotional support through individual therapy, group therapy, and ongoing support circles. Both in-person and virtual options are available, so all survivors have the tools to protect and grow their psychological safety.
Education, outreach, and awareness are integral to ending violence. General presentations, professional training, social media, and media releases all bring us closer to our vision.
The agency is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and is awarded funding through federal, state, county, and private grants. The United Way, various fundraising efforts, individuals, area businesses, faith organizations, and other nonprofits provide support for programs and expenses not covered by grants.
Our vision is to maintain a community of peace, hope, and justice, free of fear and violence.
