This exciting new Initiative has been funded by the Blue Shield of California Foundation and involves the development of six “learning laboratories” across the state where multi-agency, co-located service delivery models will be supported and expanded. Three regional training sites have been created to assist expanding and developing multi-agency service delivery models around the state including the six new sites.

The three regional training centers are: Alameda County Family Justice Center; Anaheim Family Justice Center; and the San Diego Family Justice Center. The six communities selected to participate as "learning laboratories" are: Northridge, Richmond, Shasta, Sonoma, South Bay (San Diego), and Stanislaus. The Initiative includes a learning collaborative model with teams from each selected site, grant funding for each selected site in the second year of the initiative, and technical assistance and strategic planning support for two years for the participating sites.

The California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, Blue Shield of California Foundation, and the Family Violence Prevention Fund are represented on the Initiative’s Advisory Committee along with representatives from each of the regional training sites.
