JBWS is a private, nonprofit agency that provides safety, support and solutions for abuse for anyone who lives or works in primarily Morris County, NJ and faces the issues of intimate partner abuse.
Their Mission is the prevention of domestic violence through the protection and empowerment of the victim, the rehabilitation of family members, the advocacy for social reform to prevent partner violence, and the education of the public about domestic violence and its consequences.
Mandates like “Stay Home to Stay Safe” further put domestic violence victims at risk for increased violence under the stressors of being at home for more hours with their abusers, potential lost jobs, homeschooling children, and the loss of support systems like their family, coworkers, and services from agencies like JBWS.
