Collins Center is a sexual assault response and advocacy organization that serves Rockingham and Page Counties, the City of Harrisonburg, and surrounding communities. For over thirty years, Collins Center has offered support to victims, survivors, and their loved ones through many programs and services, including sexual assault crisis support and advocacy, prevention and education, and trauma-informed counseling. Our nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center (CAC) works collaboratively with community partners to provide a proactive and thorough response to child victims of abuse and their non-offending caregivers.
We operate under a set of core values that include being responsive to suggestions, influences, appeals, and efforts to meet our mission; acting with integrity, and adhering to a strong moral code of ethical professional practice; being accountable to our clients, staff, volunteers, donors, partners, and community; maintaining absolute confidentiality in the delivery of our client services, and engendering trust in all our interactions. These values guide our work with each other and with the communities we serve.
Collins Center is devoted to listening to survivor experiences and keeping their needs paramount in all aspects of our work.
