ABOUT US
KWRCC works with individuals of any gender who are victims and survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence. KWRCC provides emergency safe housing in a 25-bed shelter. KWRCC also provides a 24-hour crisis line for individuals who need confidential anonymous support from a trained advocate or volunteer.
KWRCC offers emotional support, confidential advocacy, legal advocacy, support groups, community education and outreach, and referrals to resources such as healthcare, housing, counseling, etc.
KWRCC’s Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is specially trained to help victims of sexual assault get the care they need, including access to medical and social services. Should the survivor choose to report to law enforcement, the team can help them access legal services and increase the likelihood that the assault can be successfully prosecuted. SART can also help victims to collect evidence anonymously so they can make decisions about reporting to law enforcement at a later time.
