Breaking the Cycle of Violence: How CAPSA Can Help You and Your Family Build a Safe and Thriving Future
Domestic violence is a pervasive problem that affects individuals and families from all walks of life. It can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and financial abuse, and can have long-lasting impacts on survivors and their children. However, it is important to know that there is hope and help available.
What is CAPSA?
CAPSA is a community-based nonprofit organization that provides crisis intervention, advocacy, and support to individuals and families affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. CAPSA serves Cache County, Rich County, and Franklin County, and has helped thousands of survivors and their families over the years.
Breaking the Cycle of Violence
One of the most important things that CAPSA does is help survivors break the cycle of violence. This means providing survivors with the tools and resources they need to heal from the trauma of abuse and to build a safe and stable life for themselves and their families.
How CAPSA Can Help
CAPSA offers a wide range of services to survivors and their families, including crisis intervention, emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and more. Here are just a few of the ways that CAPSA can help break the cycle of violence and build a safe and thriving future:
- Safety Planning
CAPSA caseworkers can help create a safety plan for survivors currently in abusive situations. A safety plan is a personalized, practical plan that helps survivors stay safe while still living with an abusive partner, or if they are planning to leave the relationship. CAPSA works with survivors to create a safety plan that meets each of their own unique needs and circumstances.
- Emergency Shelter
When survivors need to leave an abusive situation immediately, CAPSA provides emergency shelter. The shelter is a safe and confidential place where survivors can stay while they figure out their next steps. The shelter is staffed 24/7 by trained advocates who can provide support and help survivors connect with other resources they may need.
- Counseling and Support Groups
CAPSA offers individual and group counseling for survivors and their families. Counseling can help survivors process the trauma of abuse, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping strategies. CAPSA also offers support groups where survivors can connect with others who have experienced similar challenges and share their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
- Legal Advocacy
CAPSA can also provide legal advocacy and assistance. CAPSA caseworkers work with local legal advocates who can help survivors understand their rights and options, accompany them to court, and connect them with attorneys who can represent them in legal proceedings.
- Community Education and Outreach
CAPSA is committed to raising awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault and to promoting healthy relationships in the community. CAPSA offers a variety of educational programs and workshops for schools, businesses, and other community organizations.

Breaking the cycle of violence takes time and hard work, but it is possible with the right support and resources. CAPSA can help you and your family build a safe and thriving future.
