SARC services will resume in September 2025 — the Support Line reopens September 5 and advocacy, accompaniment, and education services return September 8.
CALL/TEXT/CHAT
Confidential advocates are here for you—24 hours a day, every day. Whether by call, text, or chat, we provide crisis support, safety planning, information and referrals, emotional support, and more.
If a survivor chooses to seek medical care after an assault, SARC advocates can meet them at the hospital to provide emotional support, explain options, and help them feel more comfortable during their care. The survivor is always in control of what that support looks like.
SARC advocates can support survivors as they navigate the legal system by offering emotional support, explaining options, and connecting them to resources. While we are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, we can help survivors access protective orders, accompany to police reporting, interviews, and court proceedings, address housing or workplace concerns, and connect you with legal partners.
In addition to crisis services, SARC advocates provide information and referrals, help survivors navigate complex systems like healthcare, schools, or the legal system, provide emotional supportive services, and offer support for family, friends, and community members who are caring for a survivor.
SARC is committed to offering safe, supportive spaces where survivors and the community can connect, share, and heal together. While groups are not currently offered at full scale, we plan to launch peer-led support groups and arts-and-movement-based workshops in 2026 to expand opportunities for community healing and empowerment.
SARC provides education and training to raise awareness about sexual violence, connect survivors to resources, and promote prevention. We offer workshops and presentations tailored to schools, organizations, and community groups to help build safer, more supportive communities.

For over 40 years, SARC’s dedicated staff and volunteers have been providing crisis intervention and ongoing support services to folks who have been impacted by sexual violence. Crisis intervention, including over the phone support and in-person response, is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our operations are funded through government grants and generous donations from private foundations, companies, and individual donors, so that we may always offer our services to clients at no charge.
