Nearly 50 Faith-based leaders throughout Orange County and Central Florida will participate in the Harbor House of Central Florida’s Inaugural “Healthy Relationships Preach-In” this weekend. These religious leaders will engage their congregations (nearly 100,000 individuals in total) in a discussion about what God expects of us in our relationships and offer support to those who are struggling. In addition, the religious leaders will encourage their congregations to volunteer, conduct a supply drive and special collect to help Harbor House.
Over the past 38 years, Harbor House has been on the forefront of ending abuse in families and relationships in Central Florida. And for the past four years, they have been working with faith-based leaders to help change the way our community understands and thinks about healthy relationships. 80% of incidents of abuse occur in secret, with no one but those involved ever knowing what happened. In order to know whether or not someone might need help, the community needs to understand abuse.
