Hope United Survivor Network is a community collaborative
Hope United Survivor Network is Gaston County’s Family Justice Center, providing support and resources to survivors of trauma. We serve the community through two locations—one in downtown Gastonia and one at the courthouse—ensuring survivors have access to the help they need when they need it most.
Who We Are
Hope United Survivor Network is a community collaborative. We bring together local agencies, service providers, and community partners to create a coordinated response for survivors of trauma. By working together, we break down barriers, streamline access to support, and ensure survivors and their families receive comprehensive care all in one place.
