Unite Us: An Interview with Michelle Gunn
In observance of October Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Unite Us invited LINC’s Michelle Gunn to talk about coordinated care and how the Unite Us technology platform facilitates supporting LINC clients.
“My commitment to addressing IPV stems from a desire to provide others with the same opportunities I was fortunate to receive—hope, support, and the chance to rebuild after trauma. Access to vital resources drives my efforts to guide individuals on their healing journeys,” Michelle shared.

Frankie Roberts spoke with ten Duke Law students about the work LINC, Inc. is doing in the community.
The students were in Wilmington working on expunction cases with the Legal Aid of North Carolina Second Chance Wilmington project. Students expressed inspiration, hope, and a sense of purpose after the presentation.
