Waycross Family Justice Center
The Waycross Family Justice Center is proud to be fully open and serving our community. Since its launch, the center has become a vital multi-agency, multidisciplinary hub, bringing essential services for victims of interpersonal violence together under one roof.
The Family Justice Center model is built around the principle of “one door, many resources.” Rather than navigating multiple systems and locations, survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or child abuse can come to one centralized location to receive:
Legal support and advocacy
Counseling and therapy
Medical and health referrals
Emergency protective orders
Shelter, housing assistance, and safety planning
Employment, education, and economic resources
Child support, social services, and more
By coordinating among government agencies, nonprofits, law enforcement, and community organizations, the Center reduces duplication, speeds access, and helps survivors avoid retelling their stories over and over.
What Is the Family Justice Center?
Over the past year, Waycross Family Justice Center has made real impact in the six-county Waycross Judicial Circuit. The Center:
Reduced the burden on survivors to navigate fragmented systems
Improved safety outcomes through coordinated response
Increased accountability by enhancing collaboration among agencies
Streamlined crisis intervention, supporting faster, more holistic care
Empowered survivors with wrap-around services and long-term planning
Every case handled here is an opportunity to support healing, restore dignity, and foster resilience.
