Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
The San Diego Family Justice Center (FJC) has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence: Services for Women Victims and their Children, but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating. In October 2002, the FJC was launched as a public safety initiative by the City of San Diego under the leadership of the City Attorney's Office and the San Diego Police Department. The FJC is a "one-stop" help center that provides the majority of services needed by victims of family violence. Under one roof, 25 agencies have come together to provide medical, legal, and social services to victims of domestic violence, elder abuse, and child abuse. Since opening, the FJC has effectively engaged law enforcement, prosecutors, medical professionals, clergy, social service workers, volunteers, hospitals, and shelters to provide comprehensive services to approximately 23,000 victims of family violence and their children.
