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.

The Latisha's House Foundation has a unique place in our community. It provides a safe, residential home for young women who are victims of human sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our overriding goal is to rescue these young survivors and restore their shattered lives to wholeness by providing:Long term housingEducational supportAssistance in recovery from substance abuseTrauma based counselingMedical interventionStructure, guidance, life-skills and job training In conjunction with more than 25 community partners, Latisha's House is committed to increasing the opportunities for these young victims to holistically build new lives with dignity, purpose, value, independence and free choice.Our second, but equally important, goal is to educate the public and our legislative leaders about the realities of human sex trafficking at all levels: local, state and national. (According to the F.B.I. this is one of the most lucrative and fastest growing crimes in our nation. It is NOT ""victimless"". It is pervasive at every level.)
