Who We Are

Founded in 1976, CAPSA was formed by a group of women who saw the need and wanted to make a difference; and they did that by staffing a crisis phone line and providing their homes as shelters for women and families fleeing violence. CAPSA was built on the foundational value of doing what is required to empower survivors of abuse.

Today, CAPSA annually serves more than 1,800 individuals escaping abuse and starting new lives with FREE and confidential emergency shelter, crisis phone line, safety planning, court advocacy, protective order assistance, clinical therapy, financial empowerment and transitional housing programs.

Our Part in Making a Difference

LETHALITY ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL (LAP)

CAPSA piloted the Lethality Assessment Protocol in Utah. This protocol was the precursor to the Utah Intimate Partner Violence Lethality Assessment Protocol that is now mandated across the state. This protocol promotes collaboration between law enforcement, domestic violence service agencies, and survivors to assess and address dangers survivors face.

MOBILE CRISIS TEAM

Survivors often feel alone as they navigate difficult life events after trauma. In 1992, CAPSA stepped in to assist survivors by sending advocates to the hospital to support survivors during Code R examinations. These specially trained advocates are known as CAPSA’s mobile crisis team. CAPSA was the first domestic violence service agency in Utah to create a mobile crisis team. CAPSA’s mobile response has expanded to include support in other settings such as during court proceedings and making reports to law enforcement.

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM

Many survivors are faced with the dilemma of choosing between staying in an abusive relationship or being homeless. With 21 CAPSA-owned transitional housing units along with strong partnerships with several property managers and landlords in Cache Valley, CAPSA’s transitional housing program works to end that dilemma by providing a safe place for survivors to escape abuse. As the need for housing continues to grow, CAPSA continues to expand this program through strengthening and expanding supportive relationships.
