Women's Crisis Support Team

WCST is dedicated to ending the cycle of domestic violence and sexual assault through intervention, prevention education, and safe shelter.

WCST was formed in 1977 as the Women's Coalition of Josephine County, and operated entirely as a volunteer program and hot line for rape victims. In 1980 the organization changed its name, expanded its scope, and incorporated as a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to the struggle against both domestic violence and sexual assault.

WCST has evolved into one of the community's most active, recognized, and respected non-profit organizations. One thing will never change; WCST's commitment to helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and to mitigating the physical, emotional and societal damage caused by violence in the home.
