Peace Counseling Center has been very proactive with their efforts in helping our community move past the devastation of Hurricane Florence.

Throughout the holidays and still today she works hard to help citizens meet their needs and move pat the devastation with her efforts.
In keeping pace with wanting to help the community in as many ways as possible, this Friday, January 11, 2019; Peace Counseling Center has set up an important survey for everyone in our area to take part in. This study is being led by Dr. Lauren Clay who is doing research on local food systems following a disaster. Those assisting Dr. Clay are interested in speaking to residents of New Bern and surrounding areas impacted by Florence. The survey is being held from 3-7 pm.
