Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we write this letter, we can hear the sound of construction crews working in our hallways here at The Center for Family Justice’s headquarters in Bridgeport. Normally, the sounds of drills and jackhammers emanating from our Bismark Construction crew might be a distraction as we go about the vital business of serving our clients. But we must confess; they are incredibly welcome noises. For those construction crews are heralding the remarkable progress we’ve made in our two-year quest to become the state’s first Family Justice Center.

We are happy to announce that we’ve entered the final phases of this critical and transformative process. When construction concludes early next year, there will be much to celebrate at our first Gratitude Gala on March 18 at the Patterson Club in Fairfield. We will have achieved the goals we have long shared to better serve our clients in the communities of Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Trumbull and Stratford, by providing them with a model program designed to break the cycle of domestic and sexual violence in the most streamlined way possible. By creating a safe haven that provides an array of related services under one roof, we seek to minimize the stress and complications inherent in the cycle of domestic/intimate partner and sexual violence.

While we look forward to the official celebrations to come, we would be remiss if we didn’t conclude this incredibly exciting year by expressing our profound gratitude for your ongoing support. The contributions of your time, effort, wisdom and financial generosity made a considerable difference.

You’ve helped us directly provide:• 24/7 staffing of our emergency domestic violence/sexual violence crisis hotlines.• Safe and transitional housing for a total of 137 individuals who stayed a total of 5,734 nights.• Pyscho-social support and critical services to 4,211 victims of domestic and sexual violence. • Investigation of 230 cases of child abuse.• Expanded community awareness and education to more than 4,400 community members, many of them students at local colleges and universities.

And, of course, there is more to celebrate beyond the brick and mortar changes at our headquarters. Some highlights of our year include:

• Ongoing participation by our President/CEO Debra A. Greenwood in a select United Nation Women panel conducting a global examination of the most prescient social issues facing women.• Development of our Civil Legal program under the direction of its Coordinator, Angela Schlingheyde, JD• A record participation of more than 500 attendees at our eight domestic violence vigils, including our first Festival of Hope for our Spanish-speaking clients.• An inspiring Speaking of Women Event featuring acclaimed educational activist Geoffrey Canada.• The promotion of our Chief Financial Officer Mark Antonini, to assume additional duties as our first Chief Operating Officer.• The hiring of a dynamic new development team and grants manager, focused on cultivating the financial resources that support our direct services and programming.• Establishment of a new PR/Marketing Coordinator position, committed to sharing our important story to the media and community at-large.• Wellness coordinator to focus on reduction of trauma.

Thank you for continuing to be our cheerleaders, partners and supporters as we continue to transform The Center and the communities we serve.

With deep gratitude and appreciation,

Debra A. Greenwood Judy Stevens, Esq President/CEO Board Chair

Strengthening Families, Preventing Abuse

Becoming a Family Justice Center: Hope Starts Here

THE TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEY

We began more than a century ago as a YWCA. Since our founding in 1895, we’ve always been a caring, dynamic organization, constantly evolving to meet the needs of women, men and children in our service communities of Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull. Our mission has expanded to include families and individuals victimized by domestic and intimate partner violence, sexual abuse and trauma, child and elder abuse and most recently, human trafficking.

In January 2014, we officially changed our name from The Center for Women and Families of Eastern Fairfield County to The Center for Family Justice. Today, we are poised to become the state’s first Family Justice Center, the third in New England and the 63rd in the nation. It is our ongoing mission to be an orga-nizational role model; inspiring, encouraging and supporting the creation of other Family Justice Centers statewide.

WHY BECOME A FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER?

The Family Justice Center model seeks to provide a coordinated, streamlined approach to the delivery of vital services designed to break cycles of sexual and domestic violence. We believe when expert help is provided in a safe place, under one roof, it is always easier for police, prosecutors, civil/legal providers, counselors and client advocates to give support to families and individuals in a more accessible, cost-effective way.

WHY IT WORKS?

This transformational process is motivated by an unwavering desire to provide our clients with the best possible sup-port, intervention and outcomes. Research initiated after the creation of the first Family Justice Center in San Diego in 2002 supports our goals and has shown impressive outcomes including:

• Reduced domestic violence homicides;• Increased community support services;• Increased prosecution of offenders and less recantation by victims;• More self-sufficiency, less fear, anxiety and stress for victims.

WE’RE REACHING THE GOAL LINE

We’ve been supported throughout this transformational process by a vast network of individual, community and corporate partners who share our passion for completing this milestone. Key highlights in our efforts to reach our goals this year include:

• The hiring of Bismarck Construction to complete extensive renovations at The Center’s headquarters in November 2015, with an estimated completion date of February 2016.• Actively cultivating relationships with pro bono legal partners in addition to developing an innovative legal services incubator program in collaboration with the Quinnipiac University School of Law to better serve our clients’ legal needs.• The retention of a Wellness Coordinator to develop client-focused healthy lifestyle initiatives in our new Bigelow Wellness Room.• The hiring of a Coordinator of Advocacy & Empowerment Services to help our clients cultivate self-sufficiency skills focused on building life/career toolkits to enhance their employability.• The receipt of a $25,000 Gimbel Foundation grant to support these self-sufficiency empowerment efforts including skills building techniques such as resume writing, interview skills and dress-for-success strategies.• The contribution of $40,000 worth of gently-used office furniture to outfit our renovated headquarters from Stamford-based Patriot Bank.

Fostering Hope: Programs at a Glance

The Center for Family Justice believes an essential element of breaking the cycle of violence – domestic and sexual – includes fostering a supportive atmosphere for clients. Our steadfast goal is to restore and empower lives while driving social change through education and collaboration with our many community partners.

As a Family Justice Center, we provide a full continuum of care that begins with the operation of our free confidential 24/7 hotlines for victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

The comprehensive services we provided last year to almost 9,000 people in our service communities include:

Crisis and Housing Services• Emergency hotlines staffed 365 days a year, providing round-the-clock bilingual crisis intervention, support and information.• Kathie’s Place, our domestic violence shelter, for individuals and families fleeing abusive homes.• Paul’s Place, our multi-family transitional housing, for families taking those first critical steps toward self-sufficiency.

Supportive Services• Safety planning for survivors.• Short-term pyscho-educational services offered to adults and children who are survivors of domestic and sexual violence. These services include individual and group support, including trauma-focused work with children, provided by The Center’s advocates.• Self-sufficiency training and skills-building techniques designed to enhance professional opportunities and independence.• Wellness training that enables our clients to lead healthier lives.

Community Education and PreventionBeginning with children in preschool and continuing on the campuses of our local universities, our team of prevention educators are skilled in presenting a variety of age-appropriate curriculum. We address issues including ways to build healthy relationships, bullying, teen-dating violence prevention and sexual assault bystander awareness. We also train professionals interested in enhancing their knowledge of sexual and domestic violence issues.

Criminal and Civil Court Services• Our Civil and Criminal Court Advocates maintain a presence in civil and criminal court, where they are available to help clients obtain restraining orders, safety plan, initiate service referrals and assist in navigating the judicial system. • Our Civil Legal Coordinator connects clients with the legal assistance they need while building relationships with lawyers willing to serve low- and moderate-income clients.

Multi-Disciplinary Investigative Team (MDT)This dynamic team, which includes police, prosecutors, Department of Children and Families representatives and our staff, coordinates the investigation of child sexual abuse and severe physical abuse cases. The team, trained and coordinated by The Center, operates with the shared goal that coordinated services can help victims recover and receive justice.

Our Affiliations Membership in a number of important organizations support and advance our mission. They include: The Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, Connecticut Association of Nonprofits, Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Connecticut Food Bank, the National Children’s Alliance, the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence, the Trafficking in Persons Council and the International Alliance for Hope.

VOLUNTEERS

In Memory of Chou Chou MerrillBoard Chairperson Judy Stevens organized the largest team for Walk A Mile In Her Shoes 2015 in Fairfield. Her team raised funds in memory of her friend Chou Chou Raum Merrill of Brookline, MA. Judy and Chou Chou were high school friends in Westport. She passed away unexpectedly on November 29, 2014. Judy’s team was partially a mini reunion in Chou’s honor. Although Chou Chou and her husband Michael have not lived in Connecticut for over 40 years, her memory is alive and well here.
