The Monterey County Rape Crisis Center (MCRCC) is a nonprofit
agency whose mission is to advocate for all victims and survivors
of
sexual assault and child sexual abuse, to prevent sexual violence
in our community through education, and to provide ongoing support
and healing to survivors of sexual assault.

2007
-- Agency Expands Services
to Salinas and South County
In August, 2007, the Monterey County
Rape Crisis Center assumed responsibility for crisis
services for sexual assault survivors
countywide due to the closure of the Women’s Crisis Center.
For the next 6 weeks through to early October, much time was
spent planning and organizing for the permanent expansion of
services with the financial assistance of the State Office of
Emergency Services and several local foundations.
By
the end of October 2007, four new staff members were hired,
a 3 year lease was signed for
office space in Salinas,
and the
Board of Directors voted to officially change the agency’s
name to MONTEREY COUNTY RAPE CRISIS CENTER to
better reflect the new service area. By early December the name
change was approved
by the Secretary of State, the Board approved a new logo design,
the new staff completed training, and the office was furnished/equipped
and ready to provide services for survivors in the Salinas area.
The agency expects to begin providing prevention education services
early in 2008 through a grant award amendment with the State
Department of Health Services.
After providing crisis intervention and prevention education
services for over 30 years on the Monterey Peninsula and in North
Monterey County, we are excited to begin this new challenge of
reaching out to survivors throughout Monterey County.
The
Monterey County Rape Crisis Center believes that No
One should ever be sexually violated, and that anyone
who is, deserves nothingless than a complete recovery. If
you have been sexually assaulted, the most important thing
is your safety. Make sure you are in a safe environment and
your attacker will not be able to hurt you again. Sexual assault
can be emotionally and physically damaging. Healing takes time.We
want you to know that you are not alone and there are people
here to help, support and listen to you. (more)
We acknowledge that anyone can be a victim of sexual abuse and want to challenge current myths surrounding gender violence. This is why all our services are available to both men and women as we are aware that sexual violence knows no gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation or ethnicity. We offer individual and group counseling for both men and women. Individual counseling is offered to survivors of rape, attempted rape, childhood sexual abuse, incest or any other type of sexual violence. Our groups offer a safe and confidential environment to rebuild self-esteem and regain a sense of control. (more)
We invite you to browse our site and learn more about how to identify and prevent sexual violence in our community.
