Welcome

happy mother and two childrenThe “Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence” Initiative (Zero Tolerance) is a multi-jurisdictional partnership designed to reduce domestic violence, family violence, and elder abuse in Contra Costa County. The Initiative objectives are implemented through a comprehensive, coordinated, and community-wide approach that interrupts the progressive cycle of violence. The Initiative develops and delivers direct services through its partners and advances policy change. Zero Tolerance is a collaborative effort among many disciplines:

  • Superior Court of California, Contra Costa County
  • Office of the Sheriff
  • Office of the District Attorney
  • Office of the Public Defender
  • Employment and Human Services (including Children & Family Services, Workforce
    Services, and Adult Protective Services)
  • Probation Department
  • Health Departments (AODS, APS, others…)

And the following community service providers:

  • STAND! Against Domestic Violence
  • Bay Area Legal Aid
  • Community Violence Solutions

The West Contra Costa County Family Justice Center promises to be one of the most significant initiatives created for victims of abuse in this region in the past twenty years. The Family Justice Center is a one-stop center for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, or human trafficking and their families.  The development of the WCCC Family Justice Center is being coordinated by the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative, STAND! Against Domestic Violence, Community Violence Solutions, and Richmond Police Department with the support of the National Family Justice Center Alliance and the Blue Shield of California Foundation.  For more information about the Family Justice Center Model go to http://www.familyjusticecenter.org.
