The Center opened as a safe house in 1977, providing help to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Since then, the Center has grown to be the largest, most comprehensive program in the State of Mississippi.

• More than 20,500 women, children, and men have received services through shelter and non-residential programs since it opened.
• Approximately 12,000 children, adolescents, and adults attend violence prevention sessions annually.
• Our 24-hour crisis line receives over 15,000 calls per year requesting assistance and information.

They serve the six southernmost counties of Mississippi: Jackson, Harrison, Hancock, Pearl River, George, and Stone Counties.

All services for victims are free of charge and completely confidential.
