Contra Costa Family Justice Center named an honoree For California Nonprofits Day!
Earlier this year, the Contra Costa Family Justice Center participated in an evaluation report of seven California based Family Justice Centers released by the University of Oklahoma. The Center of Applied Research on Nonprofit Organizations research team worked closely with Alliance for HOPE International and its Family Justice Center Alliance program to complete the research study. “Survivor Defined Success, Hope and Well-Being: An Assessment of the Impact of Family Justice Centers” found statistically significant increases in Hope, Resiliency, Satisfaction of Life, Emotional Well-Being, and Flourishing in the lives of survivors after receiving services in Family Justice Centers in California. The study was funded by Blue Shield of California Foundation as part of their long-term support for the development of Family Justice Centers in communities across California. https://www.cocofamilyjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Univ-of-Oklahoma-2017-FJC-Report.pdf
