Mission Statement
RESTORE Sexual Assault Services (formerly Rape Crisis Service) believes every person should be free from sexual assault and/or sexual harassment. To this end, the program assures personal support and advocacy for victims and significant others of sexual assault and violence.
Staff members and trained volunteer counselors support victims in the areas of medical needs, psychological support, police intervention and legal prosecution.
