What services will be provided?

Family Justice Centers work because they surround victims with the services they need to end the cycle of violence in a safe, supportive place. To accomplish this, the Family Justice Center collaborates with partner organizations, including social service agencies, volunteers, and law enforcement agencies. In an area like Hays County it is especially important to have one-stop because victims from across the county – Kyle, Buda, Wimberley, Dripping Springs, and even San Marcos – may have difficulty accessing services in more than one location due to a lack of familiarity with what, and where, services are available.

Counseling
Social, legal, ministerial/spiritual and rehabilitative counseling support victims and families dedicated to changing lives through the FJC.

Law Enforcement
