Rape crisis centers deal with more than just rape. All forms of sexual abuse from harrassment to various rapes are their primary focus but they deal with lots of other things too. Any kind of violence including rape, domestic (abuse within families) abuse and harrassment, They are also trained to deal with any form of physical andor emotional abuse, PTSD, The one I went to even had a refugee program for people comming in (legally) to the united states. The rape crisis center was also where a person went to apply for crime victim board funds for therapy and so on. They also help people connect with other agencies where needed. their counselors are all trained on how to navigate community resources.
