Sexual assault response and prevention (SARP)

Sexual assault survivors sometimes have many appointments that involve legal systems, medical facilities and other services. SafePlace understands how these appointments can be stressful or overwhelming, which is why we offer our Sexual Assault Response & Prevention (SARP) program.

The SARP program is designed to lessen the impact and provide an immediate response to the needs of sexual assault survivors, while bringing comfort and support at each step of the way. SARP advocates are available 24 hours a day and will accompany survivors to appointments such as Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations in Thurston County, Sexual Assault Protection Orders, Sexual Assault Survivor interviews with law enforcement in Thurston County, and many more, depending on your individual needs.

A SARP team advocate will accompany you to any of these appointments:
  • Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations in Thurston County 24 hours a day at Providence St. Peter Hospital
  • Monarch Children’s Justice Advocacy Center for child victim exams and guardian support
  • Sexual assault survivor interviews with law enforcement agencies in Thurston County
  • Medical and doctor’s appointments related to the sexual assault: follow-up, reproductive health needs, sexually transmitted infections and/or HIV screening if these appointments are in Thurston County

A SARP advocate will find you resources/referrals to help navigate these often-complicated legal processes:
  • Sexual Assault Protection Orders, both temporary and permanent, at the Thurston County Family and Juvenile Court
  • Any aspect of a sexual assault survivor’s criminal case in Thurston County, including, but not limited to, prosecution and defense interviews, sentencing, trial and pre-trial
  • Sexual Assault Protection Orders: must be from someone who is NOT an intimate partner, previous partner, or family member (for sexual assault incidents involving an intimate partner, previous partner, or family member; that individual would need to file a Domestic Violence Protection Order instead). 
  • Anti-Harassment Orders if the presenting issue is sexual violence.
Red telephone, call SafePlace’s 24 hour helpline 360 754 6300 tty 711
 If you are in need of any of these services right now, you can request them through our 24-hour HelpLine at (360) 754-6300 (TTY 711).
​

If you have advanced notice of appointments, please make your request by phone at (360) 754-6300
*Please note: an in-person response can take approximately 30 minutes depending on travel time, rural locations, and time of day/night.
