Crisis Intervention Center services as an immediate response to victims.  Our on-site advocates respond to the crisis-line around the clock 24 hours, seven days a week.  In addition, we provide counseling and support groups for victims and their children.  The most vital component of this program is our shelter.  We stay at maximum capacity most of the time.  The Center offers an on-site sexual assault response center in Arkansas, allowing victims of rape an immediate and private location where they can receive a rape exam, advocacy, and follow-through information from a community response team.  The team consists of certified sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE), local law enforcement officers and our rape crisis staff. 

Because it takes much more than short-term support and shelter to enable women to remain free from abuse, we offer our transitional services.  Our transitional staff assist clients in obtaining housing, transportation, employment, education, child care, legal aid and other related services.  This program provides mentoring and support groups to survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault.  We match each family with a volunteer mentor from the community to guide and encourage clients through the process of gaining their financial and emotional independence.

Our awareness and prevention services educate the community through presentations and events.  We teach a five-day prevention curriculum to high school and middle school students in six counties in Arkansas.  The Center produces and distributes over 6000 newsletters quarterly.  We hold quarterly community task force meetings in four counties within our service area for the purpose of improving life for victims of violent crimes.  Task force members consist of law enforcement officers, medical professionals, judges, educators, advocates, prosecution representatives and local officials.  Through these and other national efforts, we work to improve awareness, response systems and laws for the clients we serve.
