Vision
We envision a community that is safe and free from violence and victimization. We aim to create a collaborative community that works together to ensure that all survivors have access to equal justice and to the resources they need to heal and to thrive.
Mission
The Monarch Justice Center is a collaboration of public and private agencies that are dedicated to easing the heavy burden that complex, bureaucratic systems place on survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, child abuse, elder abuse, and sexual assault.
We believe when we reduce barriers, improve the systemic responses to these crimes, and listen to the voices of survivors, we will create a safer, more equitable and just community where all survivors can heal and thrive.
History
In 2014, Napa’s leaders in government, education, nonprofit fields, and the business sector started thinking about a better way to serve Napa’s victims of crime. Together, we recognized that access to compassionate care for victims of violence and abuse was inequitable and burdensome for those who have already suffered so much. Our aim was to gently transform an overly complex and inconvenient system while honoring the dignity of our community members.
After much collaboration and collective work with key partners, the Monarch Justice Center opened its doors in July 2019. We are here to promote a client-centered, empathic model of survivor care. Together with our core partners – the Napa County District Attorney’s Office, the Napa Police Department, NEWS Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services; SANE/SART Sexual Assault & Human Trafficking Services; and the Napa County Adult Protective Services – Monarch Justice Center offers a robust framework for holistic, barrier-free, survivor-centered services all under one roof.
