For someone experiencing the aftermath of a violent or sexual crime, knowing where to turn for help can make all the difference.
For 50 years, The Victim Center has been a place where victims and their families can find compassionate support, resources, and a path toward healing.
Founded in 1976 as the Rape Crisis Center, our organization began by providing crisis intervention services to adult victims of sexual assault. As the needs of our community have evolved, so have our services.
Today, The Victim Center provides free, confidential services to victims of violent and sexual crimes throughout Southwest Missouri, including a 24-hour crisis hotline, victim advocacy, counseling, court support, and prevention education.
Our dedicated staff and volunteers make this work possible. Volunteer Victim Advocates play a particularly important role, helping ensure that someone is available to answer the call when a victim reaches out for support.
We believe every victim deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with dignity. And with the continued support of our community, we can keep showing up for those who need us.
