In 1974 a group of dedicated women founded the very first rape crisis center in Lee County.
From operating out of their homes to address the trauma women and children faced in our community, to in 1978 officially incorporating under the name of Abuse Counseling and Treatment, Inc. (ACT) and opening the first safe shelter for domestic violence, these women have changed the face of our community and saved countless lives.
Aiding victims of violence and oppression at the hands of their intimate partners-both male and female-was a 24/7 job for ACT's founding group.
