Together, we have created a beacon of hope for those affected by domestic violence, and our commitment to fostering a safe and supportive community remains unwavering.
We invite you to stay engaged with our ongoing efforts to combat domestic violence, elder/child abuse, sexual assaults, human trafficking, and stalking and join us in creating a future where everyone can live free from fear.
The Power of Partnerships & Community Outreach:
September 2023
We are elated to share some incredible news that reaffirms the power of generosity and community support. Our Cobb Family Advocacy Center has been bestowed with an honorary donation from a dedicated sponsor and partner, the Kennesaw Public Safety Foundation and the Walk A Mile in Her Shoes committee. This remarkable act of kindness not only deepens our commitment to our cause but also serves as a beacon of hope for victims and survivors in need.
Cobb Family Advocacy Center Building Dedication Ceremony
On December 15, 2022, Cobb District Attorney Flynn D. Broady, Jr. announced the
groundbreaking for the first Family Advocacy Center in the state of Georgia. Modeled after
similar Family Justice Centers around the country, the Family Advocacy Center (FAC) will
provide much-needed services to members of our community.
The creation of the Cobb Family Advocacy Center was made possible due to the collaboration of
community partners including the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, County Manager Dr.
Jackie McMorris, LiveSafe Resources, Safepath Children’s Advocacy Center, Cobb County Police and Sheriff’s Department, Cobb Solicitor’s Office, Public Safety Director Randy Crider, Cobb Legal Aid, and many more community service agencies.
The Cobb FAC will provide victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking victims a centralized safe location to meet with organizations of their choosing. This may include law enforcement, receive assistance in obtaining Temporary Protective Orders, as well as receiving services such as counseling, housing, and employment assistance. Providing these already-established services in one location will greatly reduce the trauma and emotional harm suffered by the victims of these crimes and their
families.
