This place is crooked. Good luck finding the one person who has a good heart and is willing to help you. They literally get paid to do nothing and turn innocent people away who are asking for help. No wonder the world is this way, i guess i will pray about it and i hope any other strong survivors dont become discouraged and give up. Keep fighting and keep you and yours safe!

If I could give zero stars I would. I called a hotline which transferred me to this place. I was seeking advice about a bad situation I was in. This was the second hotline I called and I regret it. The “advocate” made false allegations to social services about something I shared with her. It caused unnecessary issues for me and did not help. Things like this would deter people from actually seeking help.

These people have no resources or referrals to help in anyway if they turn you away. They told me if my husband gets violent with me to call the police non-emergency line.

This place has helped me and my children through such a difficult time. They provide great resources and have alot to offer. Nice staff.

Horrible ! Case worker never answers the phone which is fine because they dont really help you . Even if you call the supervisor Tasha Sulivan (whom is also no help) all she will give you is a run around because she has no idea what her own employee under her is supposed to be working on with clients. They give you false hope and leave you waiting for months , you can call everyday and leave messages and NEVER get an answer or a callback . Youre better off just not taking the step to get help and just keep getting abused ... they just make it worse .

I have called 3 times today for help. I need emergency shelter from being abused. No one has returned my calls. Each time I know that I have given my correct phone number. Yet the answering service states that someone has tried to call me. Funny how no one else has a problem getting in touch with me.

I was abuse beginning 19 in for the next 34 years No one and Wakecounty Johnston County or Pitt county Believed me ! A Mommy in severe dire straits with no one! Then only INTERACT listened, cared and gave me hope. Later on and several more mental and physical nightmares ~ We began the Rosebuds downtown and helped each other with their help..Sp they kept my light on I kept my nose to the grind stone and step by step ~ survived. Now still know good and well I was in Stockholm syndrome and didn’t even know it and they were there for me the beginning and I bet if you look closely they will rescue you for life and the cycle goes away damage done to all who love

Beautiful and nurturing place, where every woman can feel safe, and secure. Thank you Bethany for talking with me and helping through a tough time.

Reading the comments about how they put you out are lies....they have changed alot of things and there is NO LIMIT on how long you stay and they damn sure dont put you out on the streets. They are a great organization and Mrs. Phylis(the head coordinater) is awesome! While somethings can be changed over all Interact is a wonderful place and anybody saying different just didnt apply yourself enough or just bitter because you did something stupid to get put out.

There are a lot of bad reviews here for InterAct. I do not know what others have been through, I can only review my own experience. I went to InterAct, as I was advised to, after yet another phone call to the police regarding a domestic incident. I did not have any expectations. The woman I spoke with taught me so much about the cycle of abuse, the need of the abuser for control over everything, the way women can be stripped down and rebuilt believing they need the abuser. The abuser makes the woman feel as if she needs to be with the abuser, completely dependent upon this person for literally everything. This illusion of dependence is created by the abuser having complete control over every single thing, no matter how small. A person is broken down and rebuilt until you no longer recognize your own reflection. Things you previously would never had tolerated from someone are now all your own fault. I knew my situation was not good but I didnt truly understand what my situation was until I spoke with a woman at InterAct. I was given assistance to file for a DVPO, my second one. I previously returned to this bad situation because I wanted to believe what was promised to me and my child was actually going to happen. Numerous professionals had made me feel bad about this, as if I were stupid for having hope that my abuser could and wanted to improve our situation. No one at InterAct judged me. In fact they told me that most victims return at least once to a bad situation, not because they want to be treated poorly, but because they are already programmed to believe they need this abuser in their life to survive and be happy. At InterAct I learned this and understood it for the first time. Not one of the multiple professionals, who I had to pay to speak with, mentioned any of this to me. A volunteer at InterAct spent hours listening to me, explaining things to me and even helping me with legal processes. There are people there that care and that will take the time to help you. Also, the city of Raleigh police department has a domestic violence crisis center. They reached out to me, I didnt know they even existed. If you feel you are not getting the counseling or help you need at InterAct, contact RPD DV crisis center, I was on the phone with one of their counselors for over an hour one day and she even has called me back to check on me. There is help out there. I hope all of you who need it can find it in time.

Helpful and resourceful place. Allison is great! :)

They took me in after several calls. Decent for a shelter. They push finding work and housing, after ur allotted time, if you havnt found housing, ur back to the abusive or abusers place. U cant, nor have time to greive, its fairly renovated, clean, but u own ur own mess here, light council in from adminstrators, very light. Ask the right questions, must work hard to land other resources to survive if u dont cave in and go back to an abusive situation or even more homeless. U got nine weeks. Dont greive but a couple of of days and get to work quick, many resources r full, so look into getting a room if u can save. The shelter itself is fine. Its up to u to work fast and find housing. A few adminstrators ignore some stuff, others care, but seems to make appointment with them is hard. These social workers are being paid by a large network of rich and elite folks trying to look good from the outside, huge tax write off I suspect. But, I slept comfortable and mostly us, the victims, consoled each other. Not bad, but u got 9 weeks, get moving fast.

This place is a joke! They offer no in house counseling they offer no real education as far as how to stop the cycle of domestic violence the women eat and lounge all day long they can really careless about the ones who really suffer from abuse I came in begging for help! They barely signed me up for outside therapy then they have no activity to keep the women from naturally acting out in ptsd. They have no tolerance for any type of arguments yet they take sides an refuse to view cameras they have stalking our every movements. They listen to the women lies not only was I having a hard time with coping with my past experiences and recent abuse that led me there but I went and got a job and was working this job! My personal space was not respected nor were my requests to be left alone by the nit picking women in this shelter whats worse? Is I was thrown out of this shelter a day before Christmas they didnt even ask my side just assumed I must be the aggressor even though Ive written two grievances explaining the conflict I was facing and pleads for peace! I feel I was singled out and shamed for not responding to the women inside the shelter. This is one of the worst days of my life I had to beg for assistance with a ticket back home ( well not home cause my abuser is there) but with family. I am not from North Carolina. After I wrote my last grievance I was told the person I was reporting would be told to leave me alone I was given no warning or any reprimands before being kicked out! I was just asked to leave with a dislocated shoulder aching body and broken spirit! I wish I was lying but I am being so truth full the only thing I fear is retaliation for this review seeing I still need help getting back home sigh. My name is Deneka. I almost gave up today! I almost let go! Just Im so driven to rise! Phylis told me to my face that I was lying do you know how low I felt. Then they made me sit in the lobby as the women saw me depleted. Even the same girl who clamed I was aggressive towards her was allowed to walk past me ( in my opinion her way of laughing at me) no one deserves the way I was treated! No one especially if they have cameras watching every thing the incident that got me kicked out was all caught on camera. Yet no one veiwed it. Because I was told Im lying. Smh

TASHA SULLIVAN CHANGED MY LIFE

Waited 2 hours just to take a homeless service prioritation assessment and be turned back to the streets with no place for me and my 1 year old to lay our head safely. The receptionists stressed that they would not let me leave without finding some place to stay for me and my son. In addition I am 7 months pregnant! Not the place to go for safe emergency shelter if needed! Dont waste your time! They didnt even offer any way to get food. I am a young mother who unfortunately has fallen on hard times due to a horrible relationship. Never have I ever been in a situation as dire as this. All I can say is that these programs make it that much harder to get assistance and get back on your feet . Thrown back to the streets!

Great resource for those suffering from domestic violence. Amazing shelter and counseling provided.

They helped me 14 yrs ago. I hope they can help me now.....Im at the end of the road. Idk what to do now...

Wonderful finds, great place to donate & shop 90% of the profit goes to helping assault and abuse victims.

These wackos visited my daughters school today and taught her that it was bad that we dressed her in pink when she was a baby. They are activists, not educators.

They helped me with obtaining a restraining order and clothing.they do not offer much support,my worker never returned phone calls,her supervisor was rude and the entire experience with them left me with a bad taste in my mouth.on top of tha violence i experienced they left me to fend for myself.
