Advocacy & Support Center volunteers are available to assist a victim of rape or sexual abuse, whether she/he reports and prosecutes or not.  Crisis services are confidential and free.

If you have been raped, you are an innocent victim of a violent crime.  You don’t have to suffer alone.  There are many people who are sensitive to your needs and anxious and able to help.  The Advocacy & Support Center exists to help you.

Community Education Programs are available through the Advocacy & Support Center to provide the community with information concerning the crime of rape, the rapist, and the rape victim, plus prevention related information.  If you are interested in having a speaker for your group or club, please contact us.
