Casey Gwinn: Imagination is the pathway to Hope!

Casey Gwinn is the visionary behind the Family Justice Center movement, the rapidly developing, international approach of co-locating services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Family Justice Centers bring together police officers, prosecutors, advocates, doctors, nurses, therapists, and other professionals — all under one roof — to support victims and their children.

As a former City Attorney of San Diego and Founder of the San Diego Family Justice Center, Mr. Gwinn has been widely credited with the 90 percent drop in domestic violence homicides in the city of San Diego. He is also the Founder and current President of Alliance for HOPE International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating systems and social change. With a number of critical programs, the organization promotes collaborative, trauma-informed approaches for meeting the needs of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their children. One of these is Camp HOPE America, the first evidence-based camping and mentoring program for on children exposed to domestic violence.
