About
ROAR
ROAR (Robeson Overcoming Adversity Through Resilience) is a committed group of stakeholders that meet monthly to learn, to partner, and to help build awareness of ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and grow resilience for our community by focusing on five protective factors known to help buffer the effects of ACEs and essentially prevent child abuse and neglect.
Our Mission
To educate, connect and empower the people of Robeson County by increasing awareness and understanding of Adverse Childhood and Community Experiences and teaching skills for building resilience.
Our Vision
That every person in Robeson County will have the tools they need to recognize, process and overcome their own adversities and that individual, familial and community resilience will thrive.
