Find safety
Get to a place that feels physically and emotionally safe. If you or a loved one is in immediate danger, call 911 for assistance. Ask for an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) when the police arrive.
The first step to healing
If you or a loved one has been injured due to a recent sexual assault or intimate partner violence incident, seeking healthcare may be the first step. Please see our resources below for local healthcare providers. A confidential advocate can accompany survivors to any medical procedures.
Emergency shelter
Our Emergency Shelters in Paso Robles, Atascadero, and San Luis Obispo host survivors in a safe, confidential location. Guests of the shelters and their families are offered empowerment-focused advocacy, legal services, case management, and therapy. Services are free of charge to any survivor of intimate partner violence.
To access the Emergency Shelter, start by calling our 24-hour crisis & information line at (805) 545-8888. Our staff is available to discuss options, provide valuable referrals, and help determine whether our Emergency Shelter Program is most appropriate for your situation.

Accompaniment and advocacy
Trained advocates accompany and support survivors during medical exams, court hearings, and law enforcement interviews. Advocates provide crisis services and support, connect clients with other community agencies, and provide ongoing self-sufficiency services to help clients heal, thrive and grow.
Self-sufficiency services
Advocates work closely with survivors to help with a whole range of needs by setting short and long-term goals. Goals may include addressing immediate needs; assistance in obtaining housing, employment, and income; and other assistance that helps the survivor move towards self-sufficiency and independence.
Therapy
Licensed Therapists and supervised Associates and Therapist-trainees provide individual, group, and family therapy to children over five years old, teens, and adults impacted by sexual and intimate partner violence. Therapists are available to meet during our office hours. We can also provide additional literature and resources. All services are kept confidential.

There are transitional housing units located in San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, and Grover Beach that house survivors and their families for up to 12 months. Transitional housing residents are offered empowerment-focused advocacy, self-sufficiency services, and therapy.
