See Something,Say Something

Addressing Trauma & Crisis – Advocating for Justice – Helping to Heal our Community

At the JGF, it is our belief that through education, advocacy, and the raising of public awareness, we can over time alter the cultural context that allows interpersonal violence to flourish, mitigate the shame-inducing stigma of victimization, and provide former victims the opportunity to regain a sense of dignity and wholeness.

​

Through JGF Speaks See Something,Say Something we provides free, comprehensive and compassionate services to crime victims and their families, friends and loved ones through outreach and providing resources. JGF Speaks also works to end violence through community action, public policy and culture change, and through prevention education programs in schools and in other community venues.
