Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands

A real person, with a name and a face and a family, calls STSM every single day. It could be you. And if it’s not you, it’s someone like you.

STSM is a private, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, incorporated in 1983. One of 15 rape crisis centers in South Carolina, STSM provides crisis intervention, advocacy, and support services to female and male child, adolescent, and/or adult survivors of sexual assault and abuse in Richland, Lexington, and Newberry counties and education about sexual trauma issues.  In addition, STSM will provide direct services to Sumter County survivors until further notice. 

The STSM family includes a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of 8-16 individuals residing and working in the agency’s service area, eleven employees, two master’s level interns, and an army of volunteers.
