It can be hard to break free …
You may be frightened, confused and not know where to turn for help.
The Family Justice Centre is here for you…
The Family Justice Centre is a new way to help women, men and their families if they are experiencing, or trying to escape from, domestic and sexual violence. This includes stalking, honour-based violence and forced marriage.
Up until now, the services designed to help victims have been located across the city. The FJC brings all of these services straight to you in one location.
The staff at the centre can help with issues such as:
- Domestic violence
- Sexual violence
- Harassment or stalking
- Forced marriage
- Honour-based violence
and some of the options available include:
- Court action against your abuser
- Protection from members of your family
- Keeping safe
Who can help me at the Family Justice Centre
The Family Justice Centre is a base for all sorts of organisations whose staff can help you, including domestic and sexual violence advocates, specially trained police officers, counsellors, support workers, and housing officers.
Telling someone about the abuse you are experiencing will be difficult. You may have practical concerns, such as where you will live if you want to move out of your home, or what will happen to your children. Support is available. You are not alone. Staff at the Family Justice Centre are there to help you break the cycle of abuse.
The Family Justice Centre offers a drop in service Monday - Friday, between 10am and 4pm, or ring us for an appointment.
