The Crisis Center of Comal County was founded in 1986 as the Comal County Women’s Center.

Numerous local citizens began a grassroots effort to develop an agency that would address the needs of those experiencing domestic violence.

In the beginning the agency consisted of several volunteers who provided information and referral to other service providers in the area.

As time passed and grant funding was obtained the agency grew to include several paid staff and an emergency shelter.

During those first years many of the agency’s clients also required sexual assault services.

As a result, the agency developed a sexual assault crisis services program to serve Comal County.

A capitol campaign fund completed in 1994 funded a six-bedroom full service emergency shelter.

Since that time the staff has grown to 19 and includes a shelter staff of 6, 3 licensed counselors, 2 legal advocates, 3 prevention educators and 2 crisis response staff members.
