The Family Justice Center is committed to ongoing training and development for staff and volunteers, to keep in line with the tools and resources that best help our clients. We are proud to hold the following certifications.
New York State Address Confidentiality Program
The FJC is certified to support clients with the New York State Address Confidentiality Program (ACP). This program allows victims of domestic violence to add a layer of protection by shielding their personal address. Participants are assigned a substitute address which they will use for receipt of all first-class, registered and certified mail.
Trauma-Informed Care Provider
We are proud to boast that all FJC staff are trained in providing trauma-informed care, through the University at Buffalo’s School of Social Work. Trauma-informed care, as defined by the National Center on Trauma-Informed Care, is an approach to engaging people with histories of trauma that recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role that trauma has played in their lives.
