A Beacon of Hope and Healing

Since 2023, the DFDG team has worked hand-in-hand with the Town of Gilbert to bring the vision of the new Gilbert Advocacy Center to life.

This new center will provide a centralized facility in Gilbert designed to provide comprehensive support and services to individuals and families who have experienced domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, or other forms of interpersonal violence.

Designed with Trauma-Informed Design (TID) principles and in collaboration with TID specialist DAK KOPEC, Ph.D., this facility represents a groundbreaking step in creating spaces that promote healing, reduce stress, and foster hope.

The Gilbert Advocacy Center will be an invaluable resource for the Town of Gilbert, offering critical services to help individuals navigate the justice system and reclaim their futures.
