When you arrive at the FJC, you will be greeted by a receptionist in the waiting area.

The receptionist will ask you to fill out a brief intake form. The intake form collects basic information about you and provides a list of services available at the FJC. The receptionist will ask you to provide photo identification. A client screening is conducted to ensure the safety of all FJC clients, volunteers and staff. Please bring one of the following:

• drivers license
• state identification card
• or other valid photo identification

The FJC serves only victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence perpetrators seeking service at the FJC will be referred to a different location.

Once the intake form is completed, you will be escorted by an advocate into the center and you will be offered something to eat and drink. The advocate will then take you to an intake room to discuss your reason for visiting the FJC. You will be provided with information about available services. Your advocate will also help you and coordinate the services you need. Most clients spend several hours working with their advocate on various issues and often make return appointments, depending upon individual needs.

When finished, the advocate will ask you to fill out an exit survey to tell us how you felt about your visit. You will also be asked if we can contact you at a later date to check on your safety and/or to ask you to participate in a discussion group regarding your thoughts about the FJC.
