The Rockford Family Peace Center is a 501(c)(3), multi-agency, multi-disciplinary co-located service center that connects survivors of interpersonal violence, elder abuse, sexual abuse or child abuse to essential services. Both public and private partner agencies assign staff to provide services from one location. The facility focuses on reducing the number of times survivors tell their stories and the number of places survivors must go for help, as well as increasing access to services and support for survivors and their children. This initiative is a part of the violent crime reduction strategies through the Mayors Office of Community and Domestic Violence Prevention.
The center is located at 315 N. Main Street in Rockford, Illinois.
