About
ARISE Sexual Assault Services provides free emergency services for individuals who experience sexual assault in and around Quay, De Baca, Roosevelt, Curry, Lea, Harding, and Union counties.
We operate a 24/7 crisis line as well as provide community education to prevent sexual assault. ARISE employs several licensed therapists to benefit the mental health of clients impacted by sexual assault. We employ three SANE nurses who perform sexual assault nurse exams at various satellite locations or at our main office in Portales, NM. Education/Prevention services are available either at our physical office or at the location of the requesting organization.
100 percent of our funding is used to carry out our mission of ending sexual violence in our communities. All of the services mentioned above are free to the community.
Services
Advocacy Hotline
Arise operates a 24/7 crisis hotline. Callers can speak with an advocate who can provide support, connect them to an Arise SANE nurse or therapy services, or make appropriate community referrals. Our building is closed on all Federally recognized holidays, but the hotline is available 365 days a year!
Counseling
Our counselors focus specifically on sexual trauma issues and work with the many areas of life in which sexual trauma can impact. Counselors offer trauma-informed services, emotional support, and a respectful and confidential environment. Counseling services are also available for friends and family of survivors.
SANE Exams
Following a sexual assault or domestic violence incident, a SANE nurse can provide a physical exam for evidence collection and for the wellbeing of the survivor.
