Description

The Turning Point Rape Crisis Center of Collin County has been serving survivors of sexual violence for almost 40 years. In 2014, The Turning Point opened a satellite office to serve South Dallas in partnership with Methodist Dallas Hospital. In 2018, we opened up Courtney's SAFE place, a community-based on-site forensic clinic providing trauma-informed care for survivors of sexual assault. The Turning Point currently provides sexual assault nurse examination (SANE) and advocacy services to 12 Collin County, 3 Dallas County, and 2 college campuses located in both counties. Our current programs include individual and group therapy, support groups, case management, legal advocacy, medical accompaniment, forensic exams, and community education on the impact of sexual violence. All of our services are available in both English and Spanish, and we use an official interpretation line to serve those whose primary language is not English or Spanish.

In 2023, we served 1,528 clients, including 266 individual counseling clients, 460 forensic exams, and 601 medical accompaniments. We provided 42 clients with legal assistance and answered 1,768 crisis hotline calls. Through our education and outreach programs, we reached more than 3,200 community members.
