Funding Cut Threatens Violence Prevention Program | Charlotte News
Description
A Charlotte nonprofit, Compassionate Companion, is on the brink after federal ReCAST funding ends September 30 — a blow that could cripple its vital work teaching kids and adults to resolve conflict without violence. Founder Carla Carlisle fears the loss will fuel more trauma and violence, while former participant Tishanna Beard, now a facilitator, shares how the program transformed her life using the powerful “five-five-five” method. With programs still free and a Back-to-School workshop coming up August 1, the team is urgently rallying businesses, community partners, and donors to keep their mission alive — because healing and prevention can’t wait.
