The Cleveland Rape Crisis Center opened another location with an office in Westlake. 

The Center offers specialized services for survivors of rape and sexual abuse, including counseling for adults, children and families. 

The new location offers services in western Cuyahoga County. 

“Survivors of rape and sexual abuse live in every community in Northeast Ohio, and with the opening of the new Westside Office, our goal is to help survivors in Western Cuyahoga County access our premier services close to home,” said Sondra Miller, President & CEO of Cleveland Rape Crisis Center.  “We’re proud to now offer counseling for adults and children, victim assistance and support groups in the new location.”

Services are available to clients of all ages and backgrounds. Some services are also available in Spanish. 

"We welcome survivors of rape and sexual abuse to access our services no matter how long ago they were harmed," said Miller. "Many of our clients come to us months, years, or even decades later.  We want all survivors to know: you are not alone, and you can recover and lead a healthy and happy life."

According to the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center's website, a main office and 11 satellite offices in four counties serve more than 36,000 people in Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula Counties.
