Southwest Center For Independent Living

COPE is a domestic violence shelter agency located in Lebanon, Missouri, dedicated to aiding, sheltering, and empowering victims of domestic and sexual violence. Established in 1991, the organization has evolved from a grassroots effort into a significant resource, providing a safe haven and essential support services to survivors in the community. With a state-of-the-art shelter facility completed in 2003, COPE has expanded its capacity to serve more victims while enhancing outreach efforts across its four-county service area. The agency's mission remains focused on breaking the cycle of abuse through advocacy, resource provision, and follow-up support for survivors navigating the legal system. Generated from the website
