WYNONA'S HOUSE IS THE ONLY FULLY CO-LOCATED CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER IN NEW JERSEY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, CHILD PROTECTION AND FAMILY ADVOCACY SERVICES IN ONE LOCATION, WITH SELECTED SERVICES AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. ALL SERVICES ARE DELIVERED AT NO COST TO OUR CLIENTS. FAMILY ADVOCACY PROGRAM CLIENTS RECEIVE EXTENDED SERVICE TO ENSURE LONG-TERM HEALING, RECOVERY AND FAMILY STRENGTHENING, FOR AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN NEED, INCLUDING AFTER OTHER PARTNER SERVICES HAVE BEEN TERMINATED. IN JULY 2017, WYNONA'S HOUSE LAUNCHED THE FAMILY ADVOCATE VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE (FAVI), A GROUND-BREAKING AND COST-EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY-BASED EFFORT TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL FAMILIES WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE CENTER'S WRAP-AROUND SERVICES.

THE PROJECT IS STRENGTHENING FAMILIES THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT. DURING OUR FIRST TWO YEARS, WE PROVIDED INFORMATION AND SUPPORT TO 109 FAMILIES WHO WERE NOT CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN SERVICES. IN JULY 2018, WYNONA'S HOUSE LAUNCHED AN INITIATIVE, WORKING WITH FAMILIES FROM OUR EXISTING CASE LOAD, TO BETTER IDENTIFY AND SUPPORT FAMILIES EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL VICTIMIZATIONS INCLUDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT AND STALKING. AS ANTICIPATED, THE RESULTING DEMAND FOR SERVICES WAS SIGNIFICANT. THE CROSS-TRAINING PROVIDED HAS HELPED CREATE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND INTEGRATED MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH.
