Rape Crisis Center

Therapy. Psychiatry. Advocacy. Education. Outreach.

The For All Seasons Rape Crisis Center (RCC) began with the opening of the agency in 1986. It is the only Rape Crisis Center serving the 5 Mid-Shore Counties. The RCC offers comprehensive, free and confidential services in English and Spanish to survivors of sexual assault including crisis counseling, advocacy, case management and education for survivors of rape, and abuse as well as services for adults molested as children.

We're Here For You... We Believe You.

Sexual Assault Services

The Rape Crisis Center team consists of qualified Sexual Assault Survivor Advocates. The RCC provides 24/7 hospital or law enforcement response to sexual assault survivors. Advocates will accompany survivors to the hospital, law enforcement and court settings.

The role of the advocate is to support survivors and empower them to make their own decisions. If a survivor is in need of additional help, For All Seasons will provide ongoing therapy and/or information and referrals to other social services, legal services and/or available support groups.

A Survivor’s Story

Rachel was admitted to the hospital after being sexually assaulted. During her stay, an advocate from For All Seasons arrived to support her through the medical exam. The advocate provided her with a ‘comfort kit’ that included a travel bag, new outfit, including all undergarments, a journal, toiletry bag with daily supplies, water bottle, and a note of encouragement. She also received information about her options to report the incident to law enforcement and how For All Seasons can help her get through this trauma. After being discharged from the hospital, she met with a therapist to help her make sense of all that had happened to her. Two years later, Rachel is still in treatment but credits her advocate and therapist with saving her life. Day by day, with their help, she is healing from this trauma she endured. 

If something similar has happened to you – call if you just want to talk. It’s never too late.
