Standing Together Against Rape

Standing Together Against Rape (STAR), a program of Lighthouse Counseling Center, Inc, provides services, free of charge, to sexual assault victims, their families and the communities of Autauga, Elmore, Lowndes, Montgomery, Butler and Crenshaw counties. The goal of the STAR program is to promote healing for those who have been traumatized by sexual assault whether they are the victim, a significant other or family members. STAR provides forensic medical exams performed by specially trained SANEs (sexual assault nurse examiners), law enforcement advocacy and accompaniment, a crisis hotline, victim assistance, and transportation for services provided at the center. STAR operates as a “stand-alone facility” where all of these services are provided in a completely confidential and private location.
