Center Services
The Center is Northern Santa Barbara County’s primary crisis support agency for victims of sexual violence, domestic and child abuse, and human trafficking. We serve Santa Maria, Lompoc, Guadalupe, and surrounding areas. We offer presentations, education and training, and online resources.
If You Are Assaulted
If you are being abused or are sexually assaulted, there are some important steps to take whether you or they decide to report it or not. The Center is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week via our crisis line.
Stay Informed
It is important to stay informed in the event that you should experience abuse yourself or find yourself in a position to help someone who has. The Center has a library of videos available online and frequently posts about important topics.
