Wow! Check out our recently renovated Forensic Interview Room! Thanks to a local donor we were able to purchase new chairs, rug, and sound proof panels. A Volunteer painted the room with a fresh coat of paint. Our talented staff members, Samantha Black and Katie Strickland, painted the sound proof panels to give the room a great new updated look.
Staff enjoyed the team building and self care workshop held as part of the quarterly staff meeting March 24, 2016.
Beyond Abuse is excited to announce that Animal Assisted Therapy will be utilized in conjunction with our current therapy programs starting in May 2016. A big thanks to Jessica Bell for spearheading this effort. The staff and handler/animal teams (see below) have been busy preparing for months. More details coming soon.

This week we pause to give thanks for our dedicated staff, volunteers and Board Members who make such a difference in the lives of others. We are also thankful for the tremendous support we receive from our friends and neighbors in the community. Without you all, we would not be able to serve the victims of child abuse and sexual assault in Greenwood, Abbeville, and Laurens Counties. Happy Thanksgiving!
