How Can Project SARAH Help?

Our Project SARAH domestic violence program aims to end the cycle of abuse for individuals and families living in South Jersey. We offer:

CASE MANAGEMENT & RESOURCE REFFERALS

Project SARAH is here to help, every step of the way. Our case managers can connect you with financial assistance, legal counseling, and court advocacy resources. We can help guide you on developing an safety plan, obtaining a restraining order, and much more.

CHARLOTTE'S PLACE

JFCS can help you find shelter at our Charlotte’s Place apartment (when available), at no cost to you. Housing capacity is one adult and one child under 18. If the apartment is currently occupied, we will connect you with alternative shelter and housing resources.

COUNSELING & SUPPORT GROUPS

JFCS offers confidential and discreet mental health counseling for victims of domestic abuse and their children. Our SARAH Supports domestic violence group enables participants to make connections and share their feelings with others who understand. To request counseling services or to learn more about upcoming support groups, please complete a Request Service E-Form and a member of our counseling department will reach out to you.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Part of our mission is educating teenagers about healthy relationships so that they themselves do not become victims or perpetrators of domestic abuse. Building Healthy Relationships is an educational program provided to area public schools, houses of worship, and parent organizations. It promotes healthy friendships and dating relationships and raises awareness of the dangers of abusive teen relationships. Packing for College is designed to prepare college-bound students with tools and knowledge to keep themselves safe while they’re away at school. We also help to train professionals in our area (such as medical and dental practitioners) to recognize red flags of abuse and provide resources to their patients.

NEED HELP?

Please call JFCS at (856) 424-1333 during normal business hours and ask for “SARAH,”
the code word that lets us know an individual is calling for domestic violence
supportive services. All calls are strictly confidential.
