Rape & Sexual Assault
Sexual Assault Services
Casa de Esperanza believes sexual assault is an act of violence. We are a part of the Sexual Assault Response Team (S.A.R.T.) and will provide a counselor/advocate to respond to all sexual assault response calls. Personal trauma can be lessened with counseling, education, and care. In addition to safe shelter, Casa will provide crisis intervention, advocacy, and accompaniment at the hospital and other agencies as needed. We believe every victim has the right to feel safe.
We can also provide a counselor/advocate to respond to all additional calls/appointments. This may be with Law Enforcement, the District Attorney's office, in court, Victims Witness, or other related agencies.
Casa will also provide individual counseling for you and significant others. We understand that violence is about power and control. Our goal is to assist in empowering you and aid in the healing process.
Casa de Esperanza also offers Women's Self-Defense workshops that can be taught for your group. Call for additional information.
