Supporting victims of Domestic Violence #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth

Stop by and learn more about our community and resources #domesticviolenceawareness #october

In the past at the Family Justice Center, we had many open houses. These events were always a great way to show and tell the community about our services that help victims escape domestic/family violence. We look forward to having open houses again just as soon as we are able.

Our Board Members are an integral part in helping us to fulfill our mission. Bev Finley has served the Board of the Family Justice Center with distinction since 2017. Following Bev’s work with Stanislaus County, she has devoted considerable time to the community in her retirement. Bev’s work on our board has been commendable. In her 4 years of service, she has continued to work to provide programs and resources to victims of domestic violence and their families. Bev and her husband Pete always kept the community and its needs in their focus. Thank you Bev Finley for your service to the Center and the Community.

The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus advocates for all victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking. They can help you develop an emergency plan and hook you up with emergency resources such as hotline numbers. They can help provide access to a shelter and agencies to help get you out of bad situation. Also, they can help you work to obtain an order or protection and/or work with prosecution.

The 209 Freedom Project’s mission is to spread awareness and knowledge in our communities to combat human trafficking. The Project is made up of many community agencies that are located in Stanislaus County. The 209 Freedom Project’s Goals are to increase community awareness/education and involvement, identify human trafficking in its less obvious forms, and to create strategies with law enforcement to combat all forms of human trafficking.

Emergencies are hard to plan for, but the Family Justice Center of Stanislaus can help. You don’t need to wait for an emergency to develop a safety plan. We have the resources to help you create a plan by identifying resources such as shelters and hotlines which can be used to help keep you safe.

We hope Keny's video message helps victims of domestic assault realize they can seek and get help help to leave abusive situations and start the process of healing.

The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus works with our partner agencies – all under one roof. One of these important partners is The Child Protective Services (CPS). CPS runs the CAIRE Center right inside of our facility. The CAIRE Center is an administration within Stanislaus County that helps children be interviewed when allegations of abuse are investigated. Our great facility dog, Verde’s handler is also a CPS Supervisor. Verde gives our clients the comfort and strength to break the cycle of violence.

Se habla español. In this video, Carolina talks about the help she received from The Family Justice Center.

Many times, children need the most help coming out of domestic violence situations. At the Family Justice Center of Stanislaus, children receive the counseling they need. Oftentimes, children simply don’t know how to describe and talk about the life they have witnessed. We offer behavioral health clinicians who are trained to help children find their voice. Together we break the cycle of violence.

The first step is often the hardest. You’re always greeted by a smiling, friendly face at The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus. You need help and hope to break the cycle of violence, and that’s what we provide with our friendly staff. We also have partners who are advocates and counselors… all under one roof. Together, we break the cycle of violence.

Juntos Podemos Romper el Ciclo de la Violencia

Oftentimes, the best place to stop the cycle of violence is with children. We mainly help children in two ways: First, our Youth Program Coordinator uses artistic programming in our onsite Kids Zone. Through art, children are able to express themselves in a safe space. Second, we help children at Camp Hope. Our Camp is based on the “Challenge by Choice” model that praises children for developing character traits such as hope, courage, and determination.

It's the people who work at the Family Justice Center of Stanislaus that make it possible for us to break the cycle of violence. Today, we'd like to introduce you to Jessica Vazquez. Jessica is the first point of contact for our clients. She takes incoming calls to the center, and after identifying their needs, helps them directly or makes sure they get to the appropriate person. If someone does not qualify for services here, she helps them connect with outside agencies here in our area. She is also part of our VOICES committee, helps record daily client interactions, and gathers the data for our monthly stats. She feels it's very important to listen without judgment and is always courteous and respectful to others. We love having Jessica as part of our team!

Helping victims and survivors with a compassionate path to safety through hope and coordinated services is important work and we are partly funded by donations from our community. Donations help support counseling, on-site childcare, Camp Hope, and so much more! The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You may donate by check by mailing your contribution here: Family Justice Center of Stanislaus, 1418 J Street, Modesto, CA 95354. You may also click the link in our bio to donate online.

The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus works with our partner agencies – all under one roof. One of these important partners is Without Permission. @woutpermission brings together church and community to educate the people Stanislaus County against human trafficking. Without Permission strives to operate within their five core values: Serving, Community, Family, Faith, and Excellence. When a survivor is identified, Without Permission begins the work of life restoration.

Family Justice Center of Stanislaus uses advocates to help our clients that are victimized by domestic violence and or sexual assault. Advocates can explain what the police and courts can do for you and how the courts function in Stanislaus County. Advocates understand the criminal justice, family court, and social service systems and are familiar with other community resources that might be helpful to you. We have advocates from Haven Women’s Center, and the District Attorney’s Office.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus continues to be open for services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking. However, to follow CDC guidelines, we as clients first contact us by phone: 209-525-5130 or email: [email protected] (Hablamos Español). We are practicing social distancing, hand washing, routine cleaning, and disinfecting of our budling.

The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus has been serving the Central Valley of California since 2010. Our new video featured here is a great way to learn about what we do. Please give this video a watch and learn how we help victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking. Together we break the cycle of violence. . . . . . . . . #stanislauscounty #modesto #turlock #ceresca #riverbankcalifornia #community #enddomesticviolence #endviolenceagainstwomen #strongertogether #supportwomen #family

The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus works with partner agencies, all under one roof, to help victims and survivors. Haven Women’s Center of Stanislaus is one of those partners. Haven serves all survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking regardless of gender identity, immigration status, or sexual orientation since 1977.

The Family Justice Center is happy to introduce our new website. We have recently refreshed all of our branding with a friendly new logo and colors. Our new website includes these changes and makes sure all of our services are up to date for victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking. Together we break the cycle of violence. Click the link in our bio check it out.

“I was asked to share a short statement on what I got from facilitating my week of camp, but I have no idea how I can sum up such an amazing experience,” said Esmeralda Cuevas, Youth Program and Camp HOPE America Site Coordinator at the Stanislaus Family Justice Center. “All I can say is that it was such a powerful and moving week.” Amazing story about the success that virtual camp was!

Hello everyone and welcome to our very first activity of “At Home Kids Zone”. Since this is our very first time trying to create content like this we are going to start off easy. Please access the YouTube link that is going to be a drawing tutorial. The name of the video is, “How To Draw Baby Yoda from the Mandalorian” from: Art for Kids Hub (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1NT7aWr_ow) We would also like to give this site a shout out for the great art content for children.

We will be sharing all the content we receive. If anyone is needing materials but does not have access to a printer or art supplies, please feel free to contact Esmeralda, our Youth Program Coordinator at (209) 525-5146.

Just a friendly reminder that we are kicking off our new program “At Home Kids Zone” starting Monday, March 23, 2020, at 10:00 AM. Everything will be live on our Facebook page. Children and parents can follow along with several activities as Esmeralda provides the materials and games. As we progress with the program we will create games and challenges that can be done all together. We will also be creating cooking videos, crafts, and much more fun and interactive videos. Esmeralda and the Stanislaus Family Justice Center look forward to this exciting new portion of our services. We cannot wait to interact with everyone! If anyone has any questions feel free to contact our Youth Program Coordinator Esmeralda at (209) 525-5146. Also, share with anyone who would like to participate. This service is not only for our victims and survivors. Together we will navigate this chaotic and stressful time to create HOPE!

With the kick-off of our “At Home Kids Zone,” we want to ensure that we are serving everyone in our community. We would like to inform every one of a few self-care practices that can be done as a family. Attached will be worksheets that will allow you and your children to express how they are feeling. Everyone expresses emotions differently so no one’s worksheets will be the same. Facilitating these activities are easy. Just start a conversation by checking in. Such questions could be, “How are you doing?” “Would you like to talk about how you are feeling?” “How can I help you?” Remember to always validate feelings, we are here to listen and help navigate their feelings. If families have questions on how to facilitate these activities or would like to share what they have done; feel free to email the work to our centers at [email protected] Esmeralda will respond to these emails and be able to provide more information and/or support. Have a safe and good weekend!

Good morning, As we are trying to navigate this chaotic time we wanted to ensure that ALL CHILDREN could have access to the materials and have the supplies they need to join the exciting activities. If anyone is wanting to use our materials but does not have access to a printer or art supplies please feel free to contact Esmeralda, our Youth Program Coordinator at (209) 525-5146 and she will print out packets and try her best to set up the materials. All the paper copies will be in an envelope outside our side entrance labeled and ready to go. We want to ensure that all the children in our community have the opportunity to continue to learn in a safe and nurturing environment.

Hello everyone, The Stanislaus Family Justice Center wanted to take this time to announce our “At Home Kids Zone”!!! Our Youth Program Coordinator Esmeralda will be conducting several activities Monday-Friday at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM starting Monday, March 23. All the activities and information will be conducted on our Facebook page. She will be sharing interactive links, activity sheets, but most importantly checking in with the children all over the community. Also, share this post with anyone who would like to participate. This service is not only for our victims and survivors. Together we will navigate this chaotic and stressful time to create HOPE! Esmeralda will be available to chat with children while they are doing these activities. Stay tuned for the fun ideas we will be doing for all our families.
