Take a Tour

We invite you to see what we do. CAPSA has grown from a small volunteer-led program, operating out of our founder’s home, to an 80-employee, 90-volunteer non-profit, operating out of a 20,000 square foot office space. This growth is representative of CAPSA’s passion to support survivors’ needs.  

On a tour, we will share stories of how many of our programs came to be. After seeing our space, we encourage you to share your experience with your employees. In order to help individuals come to know and trust CAPSA, it is important that they understand the breadth of services we can offer.

Volunteer

Regardless of what stage you are in life, CAPSA has a volunteer experience that can meet your needs. Current volunteers range from high school students gaining hours to graduate with honors, students looking to boost their resumes, college students earning valuable experience through an internship or practicum, young parents and young professionals wanting to get involved in the community, and recently retired individuals who want to give back with their extra time.

Volunteering at CAPSA is flexible, and allows you to find your passion.  Background checks are required as well as additional training depending on what tier level you volunteer.

Training for Community & Professionals

One way to help support a healthy work environment is by being equipped to connect survivors of all kinds of abuse to CAPSA. Because CAPSA’s full-time staff is unable to be everywhere, all at once, we hope that within your networks, you can help build trust in CAPSA, so that if someone needs help, they will feel empowered to access and utilize CAPSA’s services.  

Since its inception, CAPSA has trained and collaborated with hundreds of businesses and provided support to numerous individuals affected by abuse.  

CAPSA offers the following trainings at no cost to your business. These trainings can be adapted to meet your needs. Please reach out to abi@capsa.org to schedule a training.  

Recognize (Adapted to be 15, 30, or 45 minutes) 

Participants will learn to distinguish between healthy, unhealthy, and abusive behaviors in relationships, emphasizing the recognition of signs for both positive and negative dynamics. The training also focuses on equipping learners to identify warning signs of domestic and sexual violence, particularly in workplace settings, covering behavioral, emotional, and physical indicators of abuse or trauma.

Respond (Adapted to be 15, 30, or 45 minutes) 

Participants will learn to identify warning signs of potential domestic violence or abuse and gain detailed knowledge on responding effectively, focusing on two scenarios: reaching out to someone displaying warning signs and responding when a survivor seeks help. Additionally, participants will understand trauma and its effects, becoming trauma-informed in their roles, while also assessing and enhancing their workplace culture to support individuals during traumatic events.

Refer (Adapted to be 15, 30, or 45 minutes) 

Participants will identify warning signs of potential domestic violence or abuse and acquire skills to respond empathetically, understanding the complexity of individuals’ situations, and referring them to CAPSA services within their roles. Additionally, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of CAPSA’s services, with an emphasis on maintaining confidentiality to support survivors effectively.

CAPSA Services & Championing Hope (Adapted to be 15, 30, or 45 minutes)

Participants will be informed about CAPSA’s services for individuals affected by abuse, including the 24/7 hotline, casework, legal assistance, and court advocacy. They will also gain awareness of personal biases and their impact on responses to harm, along with learning the role of being a bystander and emphasizing intervention as an upstander by challenging cultural attitudes and expressing non-judgment.

Trauma Informed (Adapted to be 15, 30, or 60 minutes)

This training provides a framework for understanding, recognizing, and responding to the impact of trauma. It emphasizes creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals feel respected and empowered while addressing the emotional and psychological effects of trauma. The presentation integrates principles of safety, trust, and collaboration to foster healing.
