A big thanks from Team Frederick County! We're working to make this center a reality!

[Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @RepSarahElfreth]

Family Justice Centers serve as crucial resource hubs for survivors, children, and families affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and more. Without Family Justice Centers, survivors would have to visit up to 20 separate agencies – from hospitals to police stations and more – to receive vital services and support. This week, I met with the @iam4hope from Maryland to discuss how we can work towards opening Frederick’s first Family Justice Center (and the 4th center in Maryland) to expand these important services for domestic violence survivors across our state.
