Rape Crisis & Victim Services
Turning Pain Into Possibilities
4,740 Children and Adults Served in 2023
- Every 98 seconds, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted—every 11 minutes, that victim is a child.
- 1 in 3 women experience domestic violence.
- 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.
Violence happens every day – homicide, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, home invasions, drunk driving incidents. Every day, The Women’s Center is there to help survivors of all types of violence and their loved ones.
We are also proud to operate one of the most comprehensive and distinguished rape crisis programs in the country, serving survivors of all ages and genders who have experienced both stranger and non-stranger abuse/assault.
This is where healing starts.
