Community Education and Awareness

We offer community education and prevention programs to hundreds of children, adolescents, and adults each year. Our goals are to stop sexual violence before it happens, reduce the stigma associated with these crimes, and expand the community’s understanding of these issues.

Support Group

Discussion groups provide a safe environment to learn and share about how trauma impacts survivors.  Discussion groups explore healthy and unhealthy relationships, the impact of trauma on relationships, resources available to help, and how to transition from victim to survivor. Groups are available in several formats:  in-person, virtual, and chat-based.

Confidentially offered, free of charge.  Start & stop attending at any time.

Interested participants are asked to call (330) 782-3936 to register for in-person offerings or use the contact us page to request information about online offerings.

For up-to-date information, follow us on Facebook.

COMPASS Chat

Our advocates are here to listen without judgement and help you begin to address what’s going on in your life. Our services are always free and available 24/7.

Every contact to COMPASS Chat is personal. Some people who reach out to us identify as survivors of abuse or violence, some as concerned friends or family members, some as abusive partners seeking to change themselves. Many people may be unsure of what to expect when you contact us. While every contact is unique, our advocates are guided by the COMPASS core values and will emphasize several key points throughout your conversation:  safety, support, and care.

You can also call our 24/7 crisis lines:

Sojourner House Domestic Violence Program

Rape Crisis & Counseling Program
(330) 782-3936

Or you can email us at info@COMPASSFamily.org.

This chat line is NOT intended for emergency use. If you are experiencing an emergency and/or are not safe, call 911 immediately.
