(BPI #019A)

Eighteenth Judicial Circuit

Brevard County, Florida

Practice Area: Linkages With Comprehensive Victim Advocacy Services

Date of Implementation: December 2000

Overview:  The Court, working closely with the local Domestic Violence Task Force, coordinated the identification and analysis of available community resources. As a result, the Court determined that the local community had tremendous resources available but that they were under-utilized. The effort resulted in a comprehensive directory of services and related information such as eligibility requirements and contacts.

Key Elements:

  • The free sharing of information by all service providers

  • A sponsor to cover the cost of publication of the guide

  • Cooperation of all facets of the court

Evaluation:  Evaluation data currently not available.

Other Support:  Recognized by an award from Governor Bush.
