The Heights center of services is a faith based organization that embodies the family justice center model. We are not a stand alone nonprofit among many others. The heart of our model is to unite other agencies together to serve the victims of family abuse in ways that provide public safety and not just social work. The family justice center model has proven successful across the country and has been designated as a best-practice model for family abuse intervention and prevention by the U.S. Department of Justice.
At this moment, you may feel overwhelmed, embarrassed, or just plain scared, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. There is a team of people ready to help you, without judgement, regardless of your circumstances. We want to listen deeply to your story and be advocates for you.
