Apr 28, 2025 | Start Healing with YFAC

In this powerful episode of Start Healing with YFAC, Kym sits down with Missy, Executive Director of the Yavapai Family Advocacy Center (YFAC), to reflect on the Center’s 25-year journey of supporting victims of interpersonal crimes across Yavapai County.

From humble beginnings in 2000 to serving over 1,300 individuals in 2024, WIFAC has become a cornerstone of compassionate, trauma-informed care.

Missy shares the pivotal history of advocacy centers, how YFAC collaborates with law enforcement and medical professionals, and the importance of creating safe, welcoming spaces for survivors of abuse. Most notably, she announces YFAC’s upcoming transformation into an independent 501(c)(3), marking a major milestone for the organization.

Learn how the community can get involved, from donations to volunteering, and hear about the exciting 25th anniversary celebration and open house coming in October.

Whether you’re a survivor, supporter, or simply want to understand how to help, this episode is a heartfelt and informative listen.
