Partnering with the Jersey Battered Women's Services
Through our partnership with the Morris Family Justice Center (MFJC), MCOHA is able to refer survivors to a safe and trustworthy organization, in order to escape immediate danger and reach a safe environment. There, they have access to a safe house, transitional living, counseling, and support groups.
