Family Safety Center

I’m incredibly grateful for all the help and guidance I’ve received after a brutal assault. Help with trauma therapy, financial assistance with medical bills. It’s been a year, and feeling so much better. Thank you to everyone………a little before and after photo included ❤️‍🩹❤️

DO NOT go to this place. The "professional" I spoke with was very condescending and nasty. He was very triggering to me. He made me feel unheard and unsafe. He made me feel less than and as if I was a nuisance to him. On the bright side, the women officers at the front desk were VERY kind and sweet. Edit: Because I’m in a better space, let me elaborate. - The female officer that encouraged me to go to the FJC was nice. I had no problems with her. - The front desk people were kind and professional. - The male “professional” I spoke with concerning my issue interrupted me multiple times and blamed me for “confusing him.” He would not let me finish a sentence. - He kept calling me aggressive. Maybe he’s not used to my personality or tone, which I can understand. But I never had someone call me that throughout my domestic issue. I knew I was very calm even when I needed to leave. He called me aggressive 3-4 times. It felt like he was trying to egg me on into becoming aggressive. - He asked me silly, rhetorical questions. There was no meaningful way for me to answer his questions. It gave off a “why are you wasting my time? Go somewhere else.” Kind of energy. I was confused because he would not politely tell me to leave and return with more information. He just sort of stared at me blankly I guess wondering why I was wasting his time. - He wasted more time lecturing me on how bad and confusing my responses were instead of asking me directly what he needed from me or suggesting I come back at a later time. Very unkind and unhelpful. I wasted my time and left on my own accord because he was too combative. From my understanding, his goal was to keep egging me on, interrupting me, belittling me, etc. I can’t sit still and tolerate a disgusting person. I went back to the police station and handled my issue myself (I encourage others to do the same).

I'm not sure why people are saying that the Family Safety Center is a good place to go too when they refuse to protect people and include them on a protection order that was to be made for both me and my wife Kimberly. She has told them numerous times that we were married and needed to be on the same exact paperwork. (NOT SEPERATE)!
