ADVOCACY SERVICES

Our advocates are specially trained in safety planning and lethality assessments to help survivors identify risks, develop personalized safety strategies, and safely navigate dangerous situations. Support is tailored to each survivor’s unique circumstances and immediate needs.

We provide immediate emotional support and crisis intervention services for individuals and families experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or abuse. Survivors are met with compassion, understanding, and advocacy in a safe and supportive environment.

Our advocates assist survivors with locating emergency shelter, transportation, food, clothing, hygiene items, and other essential resources to help individuals and families safely leave dangerous situations and begin rebuilding their lives.

Advocates help survivors navigate the legal process by providing assistance with protective orders, court accompaniment, legal referrals, clerical support, and connections to civil legal services related to custody, divorce, and child support matters. 

We support children and families impacted by violence through advocacy, trauma-informed care, educational support, and connections to counseling and youth services that promote healing and emotional well-being. We're always looking for new partners to collaborate with on projects and events. If your organization shares our values and mission, let's work together to make a positive impact.

The Family Justice Center works closely with schools, churches, civic organizations, law enforcement, and community partners to provide education, training, and awareness about domestic violence, healthy relationships, trauma, and survivor resources throughout Central Louisiana.
