The Family Support and Children’s Justice Center has been serving the community for nearly 25 years. They offer services to families that need help in certain situations that may arise in their busy lives. Their location on Fairgrounds Road offers a Crisis Nursery and a family resource center.
One of the services they offer is the Family Support and Crisis Nursery. This service offers a place for you to take your child when you are out of options or just need a couple of hours to yourself. They also offer a crisis center and are available 24 hours a day. The center is there for you to use if you have doctor’s appointments, court appointments and even for things as simple as grocery shopping or other errands that you may need to run during a busy day. The crisis center is available and free to members of the community whose children are 12 and under.
The Children’s Justice Center is used as a safe place for victims 18 and under who have been subject to child abuse. The Center focuses on helping those that have been subjected to alleged sexual abuse, physical abuse or were a witness to a crime such as domestic abuse or drug cases.
