The goal of the Family Enhancement Center is to prevent child abuse and to promote healing among children who have experienced abuse.

To be the leading advocate in breaking the pattern of domestic violence by providing confidential and comprehensive services, including shelter, counseling, advocacy, and prevention.

We are Connecticut's First Family Justice Center offering streamlined and free confidential crisis services to victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence and child abuse in one safe location. As an FJC we work closely with police, prosecutors, civil/legal service providers and and community-based advocates to provide a coordinated, collaborative response that saves lives and empowers victims to become self-sufficient survivors. In addition we provide community-based education and training to create the social change that is critical to break the cycle of violence. We help men, women and children and their family members--of any age, race, religion and gender, impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault and child abuse in the communities of Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull.

Safety for women in crisis, shelter for women, women with children, and women with pets.
