We're here.....
Canyon Creek provides services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. We have a team of trained advocates and service providers to give you support. Having gone through the trauma of violence can be hard enough, and you don't have to navigate the process of recovery alone. If you're in a domestic violence situation please reach out. Below is a list of services that we provide:
Canyon Creek does not discriminate against any individual. If you have questions please see our non-discrimination policy.
If you're a victim of sexual assault or rape....
If you have been raped or sexually assaulted you can:
-
Go to the hospital for an examination to not only collect evidence but to make sure that you are physically going to be okay.
-
Call our hotline number to talk through your options and set up an appointment with an advocate.
What will happen if you decide to go to the hospital:
-
Police will be notified and come to make a report. They will want to talk to you about what happened and take the appropriate action.
-
Canyon Creek Services will be notified and an advocate will come shortly after you get there - usually within 15 minutes.
Our role:

You qualify for Crime Victims Reparations if:

You have a say in the whole process. During the examination, if there is a part that you don’t want to do, you can tell the SANE nurse and she does not have to do that part.
-
If at any point you don’t want to speak to the police anymore, you can tell them you don’t feel like speaking anymore. You can tell them that you will reach out when you are ready, or if you feel comfortable with it, you can give them your phone number to contact you later on.
