“It’s alarming: Eight domestic violence related homicides since 2002 and more than a thousand cases reported every year in Hays County related to physical and sexual abuse, violent assaults, harassment, and stalking. Statistics show that we all have friends, coworkers, family members who are victims.

Right now we have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of victims and their families affected by domestic violence. Family Justice Centers are successful in all types of communities: urban, suburban and rural. It can be successful here, too, but we need your help. Victims need your help. It just might save a life and it might save the life of someone you know. ”
