Project summary
The project involves the preparation and pilot launch of a Family Justice Center in Wrocław—a facility providing coordinated, interdisciplinary assistance to individuals experiencing domestic violence. The first phase will consist of five workshop sessions with representatives of key institutions (including the police, the Municipal Social Welfare Center, the prosecutor’s office, healthcare providers, and NGOs), aimed at identifying barriers and developing cooperation guidelines and operational procedures for the center.
The second activity is a two-day training session for staff of the NON LICET Foundation and partner agencies, covering models of integrated assistance, standards for initial contact with victims, and the prevention of secondary victimization.
The third component of the project is a four-month pilot of a comprehensive assistance center, staffed by, among others, a first-contact person, a psychologist, a lawyer, and a social worker. The project also includes outreach activities, management,
and evaluation.
