Children's Advocacy Center of Suffolk County
One of the first of its kind in the country, the Suffolk County Family Justice Center is scheduled to open in the spring of 2005. This new initiative intends to co-locate domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse services all under one roof, joining with the Children's Advocacy Center of Suffolk County.
In a 33,000 square foot building donated by Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the Family Justice Center plans to offer an array of services, including law enforcement, criminal justice, victim advocacy, civil legal assistance, medical counseling, housing assistance, and more. By co-locating a comprehensive, coordinated, and multidisciplinary network of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault prevention and professional intervention, the Suffolk County Family Justice Center seeks to enhance victim services and increase offender accountability.
