24-Hour Multilingual Helpline 1-800-339-3940

CPAF’s confidential helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Trained advocates, who have received comprehensive state-certified training in supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, respond to our helpline around the clock, in English and many different Asian and Pacific Islander languages and dialects. These advocates provide immediate crisis intervention, safety planning, and emotional support for survivors, as well as referrals to appropriate resources in the community.

 

Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)

Our SART program is designed to provide a coordinated community response team approach to responding to sexual assaults in our community.

Our multi-lingual advocate will accompany the survivor to the hospital or a rape crisis center to provide culturally appropriate emotional support, referrals, and information to help the survivor. Besides our advocate (staff and volunteers), SART consists of a multidisciplinary team working together to support survivors including a forensic (SART) nurse: a specially trained nurse examiner who provides an evidentiary examination and medical support for the survivor, and law enforcement who provides emergency assistance.

We work closely with the San Gabriel Valley Medical Center and other SART centers in the greater Los Angeles area.
