About Us

The Vision of the Family Crisis Center, Inc. is for communities to be empowered by awareness, resources and accurate information so we recognize victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in all its forms to provide the advocacy, support, reduce trauma and become the victim centered world we all deserve to live in.

The Family Crisis Center, Inc. began when a group of concerned citizens who saw a need. It is estimated since the beginning of the agency, we have provided services to over 25,000 survivors in central and south-central Kansas. Our families, our neighbors, our friends we make up those numbers. We are the faces on those numbers. Our stories of abuse, trauma, courage and ultimately, survival comprise the foundation we build on today. We must never forget those who have gone before us and forged a path in unchartered territories; the generous community members who supported this agency with their time and their finances, brave survivors who reached out a hand to find safety, compassion and sought the safety offered. The courageous advocates and volunteers who stood up with survivors. Challenged the norms and pushed our thinking forward. The strong people, who made the commitment to continue this work which began years ago.

With two programs - Domestic and Sexual Violence Center (DSVC) and Child Advocacy Center (CAC) - we contniue to raise awareness, provide education and support the women, children and men who are in need of hope and healing.
