Betty Griffin Center provides services of hope and healing for victims of domestic and sexual assault in St. Johns County.

We provide services for men, women and the children impacted by domestic and sexual assault.

Advocates are available 24/7 to talk with domestic and/or sexual abuse survivors, or their families and friends, through our Help Line at (904) 824-1555. In addition to operating a safe and secure shelter for victims and survivors of domestic or sexual assault, we manage a Rape Crisis Unit at Flagler Hospital and provide confidential counseling and support groups. We also have staff and volunteers providing additional support including court advocacy, legal assistance, financial counseling and other services to help survivors overcome the trauma of domestic or sexual assault and return to a normal life as soon as possible.
