About the Family Justice Center

Family Justice Center Profile

The Family Justice Center empowers family violence victims to live free from violence and abuse and hold offenders accountable by providing easily accessible, coordinated, and comprehensive services in a single location. Our vision is to protect the vulnerable, stop the violence, restore hope, and make our community safer.

The strength of the Family Justice Center model lies in the partnerships it supports. In Guilford County, we are fortunate to have a wide range of partners who provide both on-site services through the Family Justice Center and a network of professionals and resources throughout our community.

Our partnerships and outreach in the community continue to expand and grow. Our biggest partner is the community at large. Together, we are making the community safer and giving hope to hurting individuals and families.

Below are the partner agencies providing on-site services at the two Family Justice Center locations:

  • District Court Judges
