William Westhoven – Daily Record – Morristown – Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the Jersey Battered Women’s Service entered a new era Wednesday with the launch of a new one-stop source of hope for domestic-violence and sexual-assault victims in Morris County.
Gathering with local, state and national partners at the United Methodist Church, the Morristown-based JBWS proudly announced the creation of the Morris Family Justice Center, which is expected to open by the end of the month on the fourth floor of the County Administration and Records Building next to the Morris County Courthouse.
“In our 40 years, JBWS has evolved into a full-service domestic-violence agency and opening a family justice center is the next logical step in improving services,” JBWS Executive Director Patricia Sly said. “The model is recognized as a best practice in the field of domestic violence by the U.S. Department of Justice, and Morris County will become the second community in the state, joining Essex County, to set up a family justice center.”
