Our History
- In 1974, a small group of volunteers and community leaders in Salt Lake City initiated a local community rape awareness program. They put together the first team of local volunteers for the purpose of going to hospital emergency rooms to support survivors of rape and sexual assault.
- In 1975, the Salt Lake Rape Crisis Center was incorporated as a private non-profit organization and by 1978; the Center had the 24-hour crisis line in place.
- In 1980, the Rape Crisis Center, the Salt Lake District Attorney’s Office, local police departments, local hospitals and the Utah State Medical Examiner’s Office jointly established the Code-R process.
- In 1995, the Salt Lake Rape Crisis Center was renamed Rape RecoveryCenter (RRC) to symbolize the hope of recovery. In addition, the Rape Recovery Center administered the statewide coalition, CAUSE at the Center. In 1996 CAUSE became a separate nonprofit entity, later to be renamed the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
