To learn more about the RedBud Blossom Family Justice Center, visit www.cobbfac.org
The RedBud Blossom Family Justice Center opened in January 2024. The RedBud Blossom Family Justice Center, a division of the Cobb District Attorney’s Office, provides comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder and child abuse, human trafficking, and stalking. This highly collaborative project provides a centralized location for service delivery where all agencies will share intake processes, limit points of access, limit the number of times victims interact or relate the details of their victimization, and overall increase access to services. Representatives from partner agencies holistically deliver an array of services in one location that enhances prevention efforts, supports survivors, promotes accountability and legal protection, and empowers marginalized communities. The RedBud Blossom Family Justice Center staff collaborates with on-site and off-site partner agencies to coordinate public and private services to assist victims of interpersonal violence and abuse in our community.
