YSP saved me, placed me, and protected me. Sad, scared, lost, losing hope, to encouraged and hopeful. God's greatest blessing on all doing the highest good's work. Much love.
I came here for domestic violence restraining orders and legal advice, Alicia was very helpful and very kind she helped me out with everything I needed .
Consultant very informative. Answered all of my questions. Definitely recommend to anyone who's a victim of DV.
Amazing and caring people. Thank you staff! Wish therapy was free with medical thooo
Absolutely thewprst agency. Ive been wait 8 or 9 months for therapy. The intake coordinator never put in paper work. Discovered this 4 months after intake meeting snd paperwork. Appearently straightened out yet still nothing. Maybe its because Im a male.
“Safe place” is not an actual safe place. They will make you tales exam as a victim and take hundreds of pictures of you and then when you need the information they took from a vulnerable disabled victim in this case , they won’t give it to you. When you need them they won’t answer their phone. When when you are dealing with their manager, Isaac, they will still not be able to provide the information you need and they took bc you trusted them, and defend you as a victim. I, for the life of me can’t explain to you what they do other than make you feel bad about being the victim. I’m not sure even the workers there could explain what they do other than make the victim feel stressed and worse bc they can’t seem to answer the phone. This place is NOT SAFE or worth telling your personal issues too, all they will do is hold it against you and be one of the many resources that continue to fail to help you.
I’m so glad I discovered them they helped me Tremendously in my time of need I was in a domestic violence situation and the police referred me to them they helped me with a restraining order and housing, my son and I got really lucky we are extremely grateful! They also paid and put me in my son in a shelter to keep us safe, they also gave me free clothes and hygiene products and makeup for court and it was so cool because it was like a stylist there and she was very uplifting and kind to me thank you guys! Y’all are the best keep on helping women and children flourish❤️ we appreciate this safe place
All the staff members are amazing . They help me with therapy/attorney/advices. I think we should have more places like FJC. I could Not accomplished what I did Without them. I am a stronger woman, I am working to study to be able to help people like they helped me here. Thanks to you all FJC. I owe You my new me.
Full-disclosure - I'm a mental health therapist who works with domestic violence, so I can't speak to this place as a client, but as somebody who has been in frequent contact with them, both directly and indirectly. FJC can be very helpful to people who need to take a look at their options when faced with difficult and disorienting decisions, and talk to somebody confidentially about what's going on. I don't think any establishment can guarantee 100% consistently top quality service, and I hope that some of the negative reviews here (which are valid and I am not saying are untrue in anyway) don't discourage people from trying! Additionally, to my knowledge, they have recently been in a very thorough review of their services to update and improve. To anybody reading this from FJC, I hope I'm not over-stepping myself with this review, and if I am, don't hesitate to let me know and I will delete this.
The volunteer lawyers here are the most compassionate people. I have found so much help here. They deal with family law, domestic violence, counseling for families. Such a great resource for those who don't have to he seven to five thousand dollar retainer needed to get a reputable attorney.
