Family Advocacy Centers
Family Advocacy Centers are centralized community facilities that provide coordinated services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence, child abuse, or other victimization. They bring together various professionals—such as social workers, law enforcement, medical personnel, and counselors—under one roof to streamline support, ensure safety, and promote healing. These centers aim to reduce trauma by minimizing repeated interviews and providing comprehensive, compassionate assistance, including safety planning, counseling, legal aid, and resource connection—all designed to support victims and their families effectively and efficiently.
