For more than four decades, Family Resource Center has been working to end family violence in the Virgin Islands through trauma-informed victim services, prevention, and education by providing crisis intervention, counseling, emergency shelter, and court advocacy; aiding victims in obtaining safe housing, facilitating job training and placement, and providing educational outreach to the VI community.
Past donations from the Liberty Foundation allowed FRS to expand services by launching the Parents/Youth Program. This initiative has ensured that parents and children impacted by domestic violence received group therapy, workshops with community leaders, and opportunities to connect with a supportive parent community. The program continues to provide survivors and their children with healing spaces, peer support, and community engagement opportunities.
“On behalf of our staff and the clients we serve, we say a huge thank you to the Liberty Foundation. Without you we would not be able to do as much as we are doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thanks to all NPOs for the work that they are doing in our communities. It does not go unnoticed. I really appreciate everyone who contributes somewhere, somehow… Teamwork, makes the dream works and we need to continue working with each other to make our communities safer,” said Anya Stuart, executive director of the Family Resource Center.
