Empowering survivors through empathy and hope.

Who we are:

The Family Justice Center of St. Joseph County serves as a one-stop help center for victims of domestic/family violence, sexual assault and stalking.

The FJC is a non-profit agency that is co-located and works collaboratively with other non-profit and governmental agencies to help victims and their families quickly and confidentially seek information, and easily access resources to help them escape the cycle of violence and move toward healing. By having these services in one building in downtown South Bend, victims and their families can more easily access services and receive the help they need.
