About

Families In Crisis, Inc., a 501(c)(3) United Way agency, was established in 1978 to assist and empower victims of family violence and sexual assault in Bell, Coryell, and Hamilton counties, including Fort Hood, the nation's largest military installation. Services provided include emergency safe shelter; provision of food, clothing, and personal items; transportation assistance and referral to medical, legal, law enforcement and social service agencies in the community; a 24-hour crisis hotline; crisis intervention counseling; support groups; and educational groups. The agency also provides outreach services. Families In Crisis, Inc. strives to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment in which victims of family violence and sexual assault can assess their individual situations, plan short-term and long-term goals, and gain necessary information to make decisions which support the attainment of these goals. Our services, which are confidential and free of charge, promote responsibility and self-reliance through this goal-oriented approach, helping clients become more effective as individuals, as parents, and as citizens.
