Victim / Survivor Support

Rape Counselors of East Alabama strives to provide 24-hour free and confidential services to victims of sexual assault, their families, and friends. RCEA is committed to empowering survivors and eliminating all forms of sexual violence in our community. Through education and awareness, RCEA aims to change the cultural norms that enable sexual assault to proliferate. Their service area includes: Lee, Tallapoosa, Macon, Chambers and Russell county with our office located in Auburn, AL. They welcome survivors of all genders, races, religions, incomes, languages, abilities, ethnicities, and sexual orientations.

We are a private non-profit with decades of experience serving Idaho Falls and the surrounding area. Our trained professionals work in cooperation with other agencies to provide help and care for those affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.

Our goal is to reduce the tolerance for violence within our community by providing public education and other services. We seek to overcome the stigma often experienced by those affected by domestic violence, teen dating violence, and sexual assault. These crimes are preventable. Together, as a community, we can change the way violent crimes are viewed and tolerated.

Our Mission:

To help society overcome the stigma associated with domestic violence and sexual assault. To educate, rehabilitate and support victims of all violent crimes and to prevent such crimes as being recognized as a general part of society but rather a crime that can be prevented by a society that takes a stand against such crimes by demanding stricter sentences for offenders, more public education/resources as well as more services available to the youth affected by these crimes. Together as a community we can change the way violent crimes are viewed and tolerated.
